Terms and Conditions - PDFWoohoo.com

Effective date: 9 August 2026
Last updated: 9 August 2026

Important notice

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using PDFWoohoo. They contain important provisions that:

limit the liability of PDFWoohoo and related parties;
allocate certain risks to you;
require you to indemnify PDFWoohoo and related parties in specified circumstances;
require you to stop using the Services immediately if you detect or suspect illicit, malicious, compromised, deceptive, unauthorised, unsafe or otherwise undesirable activity;
confirm that use of the Services is voluntary and at your own risk;
explain that client-side processing reduces but does not eliminate the possibility of data loss, interception or disclosure; and
may affect your legal rights and remedies.

The handling of personal information and the privacy implications of using the Services are explained separately in the PDFWoohoo Privacy Policy.

Do not use the Services unless you understand and accept these Terms and have read the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any provision, you must immediately cease using the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of:

PDFWoohoo.com;
the PDFWoohoo web application;
any PDFWoohoo-related website or subdomain;
any associated application, software, tool, page, service, platform, product, feature, content, documentation or downloadable material; and
any other digital property operated under or in connection with PDFWoohoo,

collectively referred to as the “Services”.

In these Terms:

“PDFWoohoo”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the owner and operator of PDFWoohoo and the Services;
“you” and “your” refer to every visitor, user or other person who accesses or uses any Service;
“User Content” means every file, document, PDF, image, archive, text, Markdown content, clipboard item, personal information, confidential information, intellectual property or other material opened, imported, pasted, processed, manipulated, converted or exported through the Services;
“Output” means any file, document, image, archive, text or other result generated through the Services; and
“Related Parties” means PDFWoohoo’s owner, operator, affiliates, successors, licensors, service providers, hosting providers, contractors, representatives and any person involved in creating, providing or maintaining the Services.

PDFWoohoo is based in the Republic of South Africa.

2. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using a Service, you acknowledge that:

you have read and understood these Terms;
you have read the Privacy Policy;
you agree to be bound by these Terms;
you are legally capable of accepting them;
your use is voluntary; and
you accept the risks expressly described in these Terms.

If you use a Service on behalf of a company, body corporate, partnership, employer, client or other person, you represent that you have authority to bind that person to these Terms. In that case, references to “you” include both you and that person.

If you do not have such authority, you may not use the Services on that person’s behalf.

3. Voluntary use

Use of PDFWoohoo is entirely optional and undertaken of your own free will.

PDFWoohoo does not compel you to use the Services. Alternative browser-based, installed, offline and commercial tools may be available.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether:

the Services are suitable for your intended purpose;
your device and network are sufficiently secure;
client-side processing is appropriate for your information;
your User Content is suitable for processing through a web browser;
the available features meet your technical, professional, contractual and legal requirements; and
the benefits of using the Services justify the associated risks.

If you are uncomfortable with any risk, uncertainty, limitation or term, your remedy is not to use—or to cease using—the Services.

4. Autonomous and minimally supervised operation

PDFWoohoo is intended to operate substantially as an autonomous, self-service website with limited routine intervention by its owner.

You acknowledge that:

the Services may not be continuously or regularly monitored;
communications and contact channels may be checked only intermittently;
no continuously staffed support, compliance, moderation or security team is promised;
technical or security logs may not be routinely reviewed;
reports may not be read or answered promptly;
PDFWoohoo may be unable to investigate a report or suspected incident;
PDFWoohoo does not undertake to trace malicious parties;
no individual assistance, forensic investigation, data recovery or incident response is promised; and
you must take independent action to protect yourself and your information.

Nothing in these Terms voluntarily creates a monitoring, investigation, supervision, intervention or support obligation beyond any duty that applicable law expressly makes non-excludable.

Additional information concerning privacy communications, security incidents and the autonomous nature of the website appears in the Privacy Policy.

5. Immediate cessation of use

If you notice or suspect any illicit, unlawful, malicious, deceptive, compromised, unauthorised, unsafe, anomalous or otherwise undesirable activity associated with a Service, you must immediately:

stop using the affected Service;
close the relevant page or application;
refrain from opening, processing, pasting, uploading or downloading further material;
avoid entering credentials or personal information;
protect your device, browser, accounts, network and User Content;
preserve any evidence you independently consider necessary; and
obtain appropriate technical, legal, regulatory or law-enforcement assistance where warranted.

This requirement applies regardless of whether the suspected activity appears to originate from:

PDFWoohoo;
the website or hosting environment;
a content-delivery network;
third-party software or a software library;
an embedded resource or external link;
another user;
your browser or browser extension;
your device, local network or internet connection;
malware or another unauthorised party; or
any unknown source.

You must not continue using the Services while waiting for PDFWoohoo to confirm, investigate or correct suspected activity.

Continuing to use a Service after you become aware of warning signs is a voluntary decision made at your own risk.

This requirement must be read together with the corresponding cessation-of-use provisions in the Privacy Policy.

6. Description of the current application

The current PDFWoohoo application provides browser-based functions that may include:

opening PDFs, images, TIFF documents, text, Markdown, ZIP and CBZ archives;
extracting supported files from archives;
displaying and ordering pages;
selecting, previewing, copying, rotating, dividing, stitching, duplicating and removing pages;
inserting blank pages and document-break markers;
converting files between supported formats;
creating PDF, TIFF, image, text, RTF, Markdown and ZIP output; and
downloading generated Output.

Features may change, malfunction, be restricted, become unavailable or be removed at any time.

Descriptions of supported formats or capabilities are general descriptions, not guarantees that every valid or purportedly valid file of that type will work.

7. Client-side processing

A central feature of the current application is that User Content is intended to be processed locally within your browser.

In the supplied version:

selected files are read by your browser;
processing is performed on your device;
working files are not intentionally uploaded to or stored on a PDFWoohoo server;
previews and temporary rendered data are created in browser memory;
settings and limited usage states may be stored in browser local storage; and
Output is generated locally and downloaded through your browser.

PDFWoohoo does not intentionally receive ownership or possession of User Content merely because you process it in the application.

However, client-side processing is not equivalent to guaranteed isolation, perfect confidentiality or zero risk.

Detailed information about client-side processing, local storage, technical information and possible future account functionality is provided in the Privacy Policy.

8. Client-side processing does not eliminate security risks

By using the Services, you acknowledge that User Content or related information could potentially be exposed, intercepted, accessed, altered, corrupted or lost through circumstances including:

a compromised browser;
malicious or vulnerable browser extensions;
malware on your device;
operating-system vulnerabilities;
an insecure device or local account;
unauthorised physical access;
clipboard-monitoring software;
browser caches or temporary files;
insecure downloads or download folders;
network interception;
compromised DNS or network infrastructure;
defects or vulnerabilities in third-party software;
compromised content-delivery networks;
software supply-chain attacks;
browser defects;
maliciously constructed input files;
future changes to the Services;
user error; or
other circumstances beyond PDFWoohoo’s knowledge or control.

PDFWoohoo does not warrant that client-side processing makes User Content immune from disclosure or compromise.

You accept the risk that a data breach or information leak remains possible even where files are not intentionally uploaded to a PDFWoohoo server.

The treatment of personal information and the limitations of client-side protection are explained further in the Privacy Policy.

9. Third-party software and infrastructure

The Services may depend on third-party software, hosting, libraries, networks and content-delivery services.

The current application requests certain software components from third-party content-delivery networks, including domains operated by cdnjs and jsDelivr. Components may include libraries used for PDF processing, archive extraction, GIF generation and TIFF decoding.

Third-party providers may receive ordinary network information such as:

your IP address;
browser and device information;
referring page;
requested resource; and
date and time of access.

The current application does not intentionally attach your working files to those library requests. Nevertheless, PDFWoohoo cannot guarantee the security, availability, conduct or continued operation of independent third-party systems.

Third-party components remain subject to their own copyright, licence terms and notices. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party components to PDFWoohoo or to you.

If you suspect compromise or improper conduct by any third party, you must immediately cease using the affected Service.

Additional information about third-party data handling appears in the Privacy Policy.

10. User responsibility for devices, networks and security

You are solely responsible for:

securing your device and operating system;
using an appropriate, supported and updated browser;
reviewing installed browser extensions;
maintaining suitable antivirus, anti-malware and security controls;
securing your internet and local-network connections;
protecting your user accounts and credentials;
preventing unauthorised physical and remote access;
controlling clipboard access;
selecting secure download locations;
scanning downloaded Output where appropriate;
maintaining independent backups;
detecting suspicious activity within your environment; and
determining whether your security arrangements are appropriate for your User Content.

PDFWoohoo is not responsible for examining, securing, monitoring, repairing or investigating your device, software, browser, network or accounts.

11. Sensitive and high-risk information

You should not process highly sensitive, classified, privileged, regulated, secret, irreplaceable or commercially critical information through the Services unless you have independently determined that doing so is lawful and sufficiently secure.

This includes, without limitation:

state-classified or security-sensitive material;
trade secrets;
privileged legal communications;
medical records;
financial credentials;
passwords and authentication secrets;
identity documents;
biometric information;
children’s personal information;
special personal information;
confidential client documents;
export-controlled technical information;
information governed by professional secrecy; and
information subject to contractual security obligations.

PDFWoohoo does not certify the Services for any particular regulated industry, security classification or confidentiality standard.

The privacy implications of processing sensitive information are addressed further in the Privacy Policy.

12. Your ownership of User Content

As between you and PDFWoohoo, you retain the rights you lawfully hold in your User Content.

Using the Services does not transfer ownership of your documents, designs, drawings, images, text, trade secrets, confidential information or other intellectual property to PDFWoohoo.

Because the current application processes User Content locally, you do not grant PDFWoohoo a licence to host, publish, commercialise or analyse that User Content merely by opening it in the application.

If you voluntarily transmit User Content to PDFWoohoo through email, a contact form or another communication method, you grant PDFWoohoo a limited, non-exclusive licence to receive, reproduce and use that material to the extent reasonably necessary to deal with the communication, protect legal rights or comply with law. No response, review or investigation is promised.

The distinction between locally processed User Content and information voluntarily transmitted to PDFWoohoo is also explained in the Privacy Policy.

13. Your authority and responsibility for User Content

You represent and warrant that:

you own the User Content or have sufficient permission to use it;
your possession and processing of it are lawful;
you have authority to copy, convert, alter, divide, stitch, reproduce and download it;
its processing does not infringe copyright, privacy, confidentiality, contractual or other rights;
you have obtained any necessary consent;
you are not violating professional or statutory duties; and
the User Content does not contain unlawful or malicious material.

PDFWoohoo does not inspect User Content processed locally and cannot determine whether you have the necessary rights.

You remain solely responsible for every act performed with User Content and every use or distribution of Output.

14. Prohibited uses

You may not use or attempt to use the Services:

unlawfully, fraudulently or deceptively;
to infringe copyright, trademarks, privacy, confidentiality or other rights;
to process material you are not authorised to possess or use;
to create, distribute or facilitate malware;
to attack, probe, scan or compromise systems or networks;
to bypass or interfere with security controls;
to obtain unauthorised access;
to scrape, overload, disrupt or degrade the Services;
to impersonate another person;
to facilitate harassment, exploitation, discrimination or abuse;
to process unlawful sexual or exploitative material;
to create or distribute fraudulent documents;
to conceal unlawful activity;
to interfere with, circumvent or manipulate any access-control, usage-limit, entitlement, account, subscription or feature-restriction mechanism that may be implemented as part of the Services;
to remove or alter legal, copyright, trademark or attribution notices;
to falsely suggest endorsement or affiliation;
to resell or commercially exploit the Services without permission;
to frame, mirror or reproduce a substantial part of the Services without permission; or
in any manner that exposes PDFWoohoo or a Related Party to legal, regulatory, technical or reputational harm.

Testing performed without prior written authorisation may be treated as unauthorised even if described as security research.

15. Malicious, corrupted and excessive files

Files and archives may be malformed, corrupted, misleadingly labelled, unusually large or deliberately constructed to consume excessive browser memory or processing capacity.

Although the application includes certain limits for archive depth, entry count and extracted data, those limits do not guarantee protection against every harmful or resource-intensive file.

You accept the risk of:

browser crashes;
excessive memory or processor use;
lost unsaved work;
device instability;
incomplete extraction;
corrupted Output;
unexpectedly large downloads;
archive-related security risks; and
inability to process a file.

You must independently assess and scan untrusted files before opening them.

16. Clipboard access

Clipboard features operate only when initiated or permitted through your browser.

You are responsible for:

confirming that the intended clipboard content is being pasted;
ensuring that clipboard content may lawfully be processed;
checking that copied Output is complete and correct;
protecting sensitive clipboard information; and
understanding permissions granted to your browser.

PDFWoohoo is not responsible for clipboard history, clipboard-monitoring software, browser restrictions, focus loss, failed copy operations or unintended clipboard contents.

Further information about clipboard content and client-side processing appears in the Privacy Policy.

17. Downloads and Output

You are responsible for every Output you generate, download, store, distribute, print, transmit or rely upon.

Before relying on Output, you must verify:

the page order;
page completeness;
orientation and rotation;
dimensions and resolution;
visual quality;
text content;
vector or raster status;
file format;
archive contents;
document splitting;
metadata where relevant;
suitability for the intended recipient or system; and
compliance with applicable standards.

PDFWoohoo does not warrant that Output will:

be complete or accurate;
be legally valid;
preserve every source feature;
preserve exact dimensions, colours, fonts, metadata or quality;
satisfy archival, engineering, evidentiary or regulatory standards;
be accepted by another application, authority or recipient;
remain vector-based;
be free of visual or textual errors; or
be recoverable after download.

You must retain authoritative originals and independent backups.

18. No professional or official advice

The Services provide file-processing tools and general information only.

Nothing made available through PDFWoohoo constitutes:

legal advice;
cybersecurity advice;
privacy-compliance advice;
engineering advice;
medical advice;
financial advice;
professional certification;
an electronic-signature service;
an archival guarantee;
an evidentiary certification;
confirmation of document authenticity; or
assurance that a document is fit for an official purpose.

You must obtain appropriate professional advice where required.

Neither these Terms nor the Privacy Policy constitutes legal advice to users.

19. PDFWoohoo intellectual property

Except for User Content and identified third-party material, the Services and their constituent elements are owned by or licensed to PDFWoohoo and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws.

Protected elements may include:

application source code and object code;
software architecture and workflows;
user-interface design;
page layouts;
styling and visual presentation;
graphics and icons;
logos and branding;
the PDFWoohoo name;
written content;
documentation;
feature descriptions;
databases and compilations;
original images and illustrations; and
other original materials.

The Terms and Privacy Policy are also protected as original website content to the extent permitted by applicable copyright law.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

20. Limited permission to use the Services

Subject to these Terms, PDFWoohoo grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable permission to access and use publicly available Services for their intended purpose.

This permission:

does not transfer ownership;
does not permit redistribution of the application;
does not permit copying or republishing substantial portions of the Services;
does not permit use of PDFWoohoo branding as your own;
does not permit creation of a misleadingly similar service;
does not permit removal of rights notices; and
ends automatically when you breach these Terms or cease being entitled to use the Services.

Any use outside this limited permission requires prior written authorisation from the relevant rights holder.

21. Restrictions concerning the application and code

Except where expressly authorised by PDFWoohoo, an applicable open-source licence or non-excludable law, you may not:

copy or republish the application or its source code;
adapt, translate or create derivative works from proprietary portions;
extract and reuse substantial portions of the interface or code;
reverse engineer or decompile proprietary portions;
remove ownership or attribution notices;
circumvent feature or tier restrictions;
make the Services available under another name;
sell, lease, license or commercially distribute the Services;
use the Services to train or construct a competing product through systematic extraction; or
claim ownership or authorship of PDFWoohoo materials.

These restrictions do not override rights expressly granted under an applicable third-party open-source licence.

22. Trademarks and branding

“PDFWoohoo”, associated logos, names, slogans, designs and other source identifiers are trademarks or proprietary branding of their respective owner.

You may not use them:

in a domain name, product name or business name;
in advertising suggesting endorsement;
in a confusingly similar service;
as metadata intended to divert users;
on redistributed copies; or
in any way likely to cause confusion concerning origin, ownership or affiliation,

without prior written permission.

Permitted factual references must be accurate, limited and non-misleading.

23. Copyright complaints

A rights holder who believes that material published by PDFWoohoo infringes copyright may submit a notice through a contact method published on PDFWoohoo.com.

A notice should identify:

the rights holder;
the protected work;
the allegedly infringing published material;
its location;
the basis of the claim; and
the sender’s authority and contact details.

Contact facilities may not be continuously monitored. Submission of a notice does not guarantee immediate review or response.

Nothing in this section applies to User Content that remains exclusively on a user’s device and is not accessible to PDFWoohoo.

Knowingly false or misleading allegations may expose the sender to liability.

Any personal information supplied with a copyright complaint will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

24. Access levels, plans and future services

The Services are currently made available with the features and access conditions presented to users at the time of use.

PDFWoohoo may in future introduce different access levels, accounts, plans, subscriptions, paid features, usage limits, feature restrictions or other methods of providing or controlling access to some or all of the Services.

The availability of a feature at any particular time does not create a continuing contractual entitlement to that feature, access level, usage allowance or method of access.

PDFWoohoo may, subject to applicable law, introduce, change, restrict, withdraw, reclassify or otherwise modify features, access conditions, usage limits, plans or services.

You may not circumvent, manipulate or interfere with any access-control, usage-limit, entitlement, account, subscription or feature-restriction mechanism that may be implemented.

If paid plans, subscriptions or other paid services are introduced, they may be subject to additional pricing, purchase, renewal, cancellation, refund and other terms presented at the relevant time.

Any collection or processing of personal information associated with future accounts, subscriptions, access levels or related functionality will be addressed in the Privacy Policy and any additional notices required at the relevant time.

25. Availability and changes

The Services may be changed, suspended, restricted or discontinued at any time.

PDFWoohoo does not guarantee:

continuous availability;
minimum uptime;
compatibility with a particular browser or device;
continued support for a format;
preservation of a particular feature;
backward compatibility;
maintenance or updates;
error correction;
advance notice of changes; or
preservation of locally stored settings.

You are responsible for maintaining alternative tools and workflows where uninterrupted file processing is important.

26. No support or monitoring obligation

The availability of a contact page, email address or reporting channel does not create an obligation to:

monitor communications continuously;
acknowledge receipt;
answer within a specified period;
provide technical support;
investigate an allegation;
recover information;
trace activity;
preserve logs;
retain evidence;
contact third parties;
report conduct on your behalf; or
provide a particular remedy.

Where applicable law imposes a specific non-excludable duty, that duty will apply. No broader voluntary duty is assumed.

The same limitations apply to communications submitted under the Privacy Policy.

27. Privacy Policy incorporated by reference

Use of the Services is also subject to the PDFWoohoo Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference to the extent applicable.

The Privacy Policy explains, among other matters:

current client-side processing;
browser local storage;
technical and server-log information;
third-party infrastructure;
voluntary communications;
possible future account functionality;
data-security limitations;
autonomous and minimally monitored operation;
privacy rights; and
the requirement to cease using the Services if suspicious or undesirable activity is detected.

These Terms principally govern use of the Services, intellectual property, risk, liability and indemnification. The Privacy Policy principally explains the handling of personal information and User Content.

The two documents must be read together.

If these Terms and the Privacy Policy address the same matter, they should be interpreted consistently wherever reasonably possible. If an irreconcilable conflict exists:

the Privacy Policy prevails regarding the handling of personal information; and
these Terms prevail regarding permitted use, intellectual property, risk allocation, warranties, liability and indemnification.

Mandatory applicable law prevails over both documents.

28. No warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is”, “as available” and “with all faults”.

PDFWoohoo and the Related Parties disclaim all representations, warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, concerning:

quality;
accuracy;
completeness;
reliability;
availability;
security;
confidentiality;
compatibility;
fitness for purpose;
merchantability;
non-infringement;
absence of defects;
absence of malicious code;
error-free operation;
preservation of User Content;
correctness of Output; and
results obtained through the Services.

No statement, description, demonstration or communication creates a warranty unless expressly stated as such in a written agreement authorised by PDFWoohoo.

Nothing in this section excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.

29. Express assumption of risk

You expressly acknowledge and accept that:

use of the Services is voluntary;
client-side processing reduces but does not eliminate the risk of data disclosure;
User Content may be confidential, valuable or irreplaceable;
browser-based processing may fail;
third-party systems and libraries may be compromised;
PDFWoohoo may not detect or investigate an incident;
information leaks and data breaches remain possible;
Output may be inaccurate or incomplete;
you must maintain independent originals and backups;
you must stop using the Services immediately when undesirable or suspicious activity is suspected;
you have read the relevant risk disclosures in the Privacy Policy; and
you are responsible for deciding whether those risks are acceptable.

30. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, PDFWoohoo and the Related Parties will not be liable for any loss, damage, liability, cost or claim arising from or connected with:

use of or inability to use the Services;
reliance on the Services or Output;
errors, defects, interruptions or unavailability;
loss, alteration, corruption or destruction of User Content;
disclosure or unauthorised access;
data breaches or information leaks;
compromised devices, browsers, extensions, networks or credentials;
malicious, malformed or excessive files;
clipboard operations;
failed, blocked or repeated downloads;
output-format incompatibility;
loss of vector data, resolution, metadata, formatting or quality;
incorrect page order, rotation, splitting, stitching or conversion;
third-party software, libraries, websites, networks or providers;
failure to detect, monitor or investigate suspicious activity;
delayed or absent responses to communications;
continued use after warning signs became apparent;
unlawful or unauthorised User Content;
business interruption;
loss of revenue, profit, opportunity, goodwill or anticipated savings;
professional, contractual, regulatory or reputational consequences; or
any decision made using the Services or Output.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PDFWoohoo and the Related Parties will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive loss, even if the possibility of that loss was foreseeable or communicated.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, PDFWoohoo’s aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Services will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be limited to the greater of:

the amount you actually paid directly to PDFWoohoo for the affected Service during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
R100.

This limitation applies collectively to all claims and causes of action.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent that exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law. Nothing in this section removes a non-excludable obligation described in the Privacy Policy.

31. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PDFWoohoo and the Related Parties from and against claims, demands, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, fines, judgments, settlements, costs and reasonable legal expenses arising from or relating to:

your access to or use of the Services;
your User Content;
your Output;
your copying, conversion, alteration, publication or distribution of material;
your infringement of copyright, trademark, privacy, confidentiality, contractual or other rights;
your lack of authority to process User Content;
your breach of these Terms or the Privacy Policy;
your breach of applicable law;
your fraudulent, negligent, reckless, malicious or unlawful conduct;
a third-party claim relating to material you processed;
personal information you processed without lawful authority;
your failure to obtain consent;
your breach of professional, employment, fiduciary or contractual duties;
your device, account, browser, extension, network or credentials being compromised;
malware or malicious material introduced or handled by you;
your failure to maintain backups;
your failure to inspect Output;
your reliance on inaccurate or unsuitable Output;
your use of the Services for a regulated or high-risk purpose;
your continued use after detecting or suspecting undesirable activity;
information you voluntarily transmit or publish;
your misrepresentation of affiliation with PDFWoohoo;
your interference with, circumvention or manipulation of access controls, usage limits, entitlements, account restrictions, subscription mechanisms, feature restrictions or security features; or
a person using the Services through your device, browser, network or account.

This indemnity includes claims brought by:

owners of intellectual property;
persons identified in User Content;
clients, employers or contracting parties;
regulators and public authorities;
recipients of Output;
other users; and
any other affected third party.

You must not settle a claim in a manner that imposes liability, admission or obligation on PDFWoohoo without prior written consent.

PDFWoohoo may assume control of a defence at your cost where reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that indemnification is prohibited by law or to liability caused solely by conduct for which the law does not permit indemnification.

32. Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release PDFWoohoo and the Related Parties from claims arising solely from:

disputes between you and another user or third party;
your User Content or Output;
your device, browser, extensions or network;
your dealings with independent third-party providers;
your voluntary decision to use the Services;
risks clearly disclosed in these Terms or the Privacy Policy; or
your continuation of use after suspicious circumstances arose.

This release does not apply where a claim cannot lawfully be released.

33. Remedies and enforcement

A breach of these Terms may result in:

termination of permission to use the Services;
restriction or blocking of access;
removal of submitted material;
cancellation of an account or entitlement;
preservation or disclosure of relevant information where legally permitted;
civil proceedings;
referral to a service provider, rights holder, regulator or authority; or
any other lawful remedy.

PDFWoohoo’s failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later.

You acknowledge that unauthorised use of intellectual property or confidential systems may cause harm not adequately compensated by damages and may justify interdictory or other equitable relief.

Nothing in this section promises that PDFWoohoo will monitor, investigate or take enforcement action in any particular case.

34. Suspension and termination

PDFWoohoo may suspend, restrict or terminate access where reasonably considered appropriate, including where:

these Terms or the Privacy Policy are breached;
unlawful or harmful conduct is suspected;
the Services or another person may be at risk;
a legal or regulatory requirement applies;
a third-party provider restricts service;
maintenance or technical changes are required; or
PDFWoohoo elects to discontinue a Service.

PDFWoohoo does not guarantee advance notice.

You may terminate your use at any time by ceasing to access the Services and removing locally stored site data if desired.

Provisions concerning intellectual property, risk, disclaimers, liability, indemnities, disputes and governing law survive termination.

35. External links

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only.

PDFWoohoo does not endorse or control independent sites and is not responsible for their:

content;
accuracy;
security;
availability;
privacy practices;
products;
conduct; or
terms.

You access third-party resources voluntarily and at your own risk.

Additional privacy information concerning third parties appears in the Privacy Policy.

36. Changes to these Terms

PDFWoohoo may update these Terms to reflect changes in:

the Services;
legal requirements;
business arrangements;
third-party providers;
technology;
security practices; or
risk.

Updated Terms may be published on PDFWoohoo.com with a revised effective date.

Individual notice is not promised unless required by applicable law.

You are responsible for reviewing the then-current Terms before using the Services. Continued use after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

If you do not accept updated Terms, you must cease using the Services.

Changes to the handling of personal information may also result in a corresponding update to the Privacy Policy.

37. Electronic communications

You agree that notices, terms, policies and other communications may be provided electronically by publication on the website or through an available electronic contact method.

A message sent to PDFWoohoo does not create a presumption that it has been read, accepted or acted upon.

The handling of personal information contained in communications is governed by the Privacy Policy.

Nothing in this section overrides mandatory requirements under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act or another applicable law.

38. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute connected with the Services are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without giving effect to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law must apply.

Subject to any non-excludable consumer right concerning jurisdiction, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of South Africa.

39. Dispute resolution

Before commencing proceedings, a party may send written notice describing the dispute and proposed resolution.

Because communications may be monitored intermittently, no voluntary response period or negotiation process is guaranteed.

Nothing in this section:

requires urgent proceedings to be delayed;
prevents either party from seeking an interdict;
prevents use of a regulator or statutory dispute process; or
creates an obligation for PDFWoohoo to participate in voluntary mediation.

Personal information submitted with a dispute notice will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

40. Consumer and privacy rights

These Terms are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Nothing in them excludes, restricts or waives:

a consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded;
liability that cannot lawfully be limited;
a duty imposed by the Protection of Personal Information Act;
an obligation under the Consumer Protection Act;
an applicable requirement of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act; or
another mandatory statutory protection.

Your privacy rights and the procedure for submitting a privacy-related communication are described in the Privacy Policy.

Where a provision conflicts with mandatory law, it must be limited only to the minimum extent necessary to comply with that law.

The remaining provisions continue to apply.

41. Severability

If any provision is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it will be severed or limited to the minimum extent necessary.

The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected.

A provision should, where reasonably possible, be interpreted in a manner that makes it lawful and enforceable while preserving its intended protective effect.

42. No waiver

A failure or delay in exercising a right is not a waiver.

A waiver is effective only if given expressly in writing by a person authorised to do so and applies only to the specific instance stated.

43. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent.

PDFWoohoo may transfer its rights and obligations as part of a sale, restructuring, succession or transfer of the Services, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

44. Entire agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented for a particular feature constitute the agreement governing your use of the Services.

They replace prior representations concerning the same subject matter, except for a separate written agreement expressly authorised by PDFWoohoo.

45. Interpretation

Headings are included for convenience and do not restrict interpretation.

Words in the singular include the plural and vice versa where appropriate.

“Including” means “including without limitation”.

A reference to law includes amendments and replacement legislation.

No rule requiring ambiguity to be interpreted against the drafter applies to the extent that such a rule may lawfully be excluded.

46. Contact

Contact channels:
