4. How the service works
Papetal is a set of free tools for working with PDF files and images. Files are processed exclusively in the user’s browser: documents opened, images imported, signatures and text entered are neither sent to the publisher nor stored on the server. The publisher therefore has no knowledge of, and no control over, the documents processed or created with the Website.
5. Intellectual property
The structure of the Website, its texts, graphics, the “Papetal” name and logo, and its source code are protected by intellectual property law. Any full or partial reproduction or representation without the publisher’s prior permission is prohibited.
Created documents: the publisher claims no rights over the documents processed or created by users, who may use them freely, including for commercial purposes. Users remain solely responsible for the files they process and the content they add, and warrant that they hold the necessary rights to them.
Third-party trademarks: Adobe, Acrobat and iPhone are trademarks of their respective owners. They are mentioned for descriptive purposes only, to indicate compatibility; the Website is not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.
6. Liability
The Website is provided free of charge and “as is”. The publisher strives to keep it working properly but cannot guarantee permanent availability or that it is free of errors.
Users are responsible for checking every resulting document before using, sending or printing it. Letter templates are provided for guidance only: they are not legal advice and must be adapted to each situation. The signature offered by the Website is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified electronic signature. To the extent permitted by law, the publisher cannot be held liable for the consequences of an incorrect, incomplete or misused document.
Users are solely responsible for the files they process and for how they use the resulting documents. Any unlawful use is prohibited, in particular creating forged documents or altering existing ones.
7. Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. The publisher has no control over these websites and accepts no responsibility for their content or their personal data practices.
8. Personal data and cookies
The Website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising tools. To learn more, see the privacy policy.
