Legal
Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your use of the mobile application "iEdit: Pdf & Document & Video" (shown on your device as "iEdit Scanner", the "App") and of the optional iEdit Premium subscription. The App is published by Favantis ("Favantis", "we", "us" or "our").
By downloading, installing or using the App you agree to these Terms, to our End User Licence Agreement (the "EULA") and to our Privacy Policy, all of which you can open in the App under Profile › Legal. If you do not agree, please do not use the App and delete it from your device.
If you live in a country whose laws give consumers rights that cannot be limited or waived by contract, nothing in these Terms limits those rights.
1. Who may use the App
You may use the App if you are able to enter into a binding agreement under the laws of your country, or if your parent or legal guardian has agreed to these Terms for you. If you use the App on behalf of a company or another organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it. You may not use the App if you are barred from doing so under the laws of your country or of any other applicable jurisdiction.
2. What the App does
iEdit is a toolbox for documents, PDFs, images, photos and videos. Among other things it lets you scan paper documents and ID cards with your camera; recognise text in pictures and scans; read QR codes and barcodes; merge, split, compress, sign, watermark, lock and unlock PDFs; convert PDFs to and from images, text, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files; resize, compress, convert, combine and blur images; organise and analyse your photo library; and trim, convert, edit and export videos. A full list of features, with a short description of each, is in the App's Help centre.
The App processes your files on your device. It does not store your files on our servers and does not include a cloud storage or sync service. Its optional cloud backup keeps a copy of your files in your own iCloud or Google Drive, as the Privacy Policy describes. Features, tools and supported file formats may change over time, as described in section 10.
3. Free use and iEdit Premium
3.1 What is free
You can download the App and use every tool for free. Results are saved to My files, inside the App, at no cost. Copying recognised text to the clipboard, sharing the text of a scanned code and opening a link from a code are also free.
3.2 What iEdit Premium adds
iEdit Premium is an optional, paid, auto-renewing subscription. While it is active, you can take files out of the App: share them with other apps, save them to Files or to your device's storage, save images and videos to your photo library, and share or save recognised text as a file. The App shows what Premium includes on the Premium screen before you subscribe. We may add features to Premium; we will not remove the core benefits of a subscription period you have already paid for during that period.
3.3 Price, free trial and billing
- iEdit Premium is offered as a monthly subscription. Its current price, in your local currency and including any applicable taxes, is shown on the Premium screen and in the App Store or Google Play before you confirm the purchase.
- New subscribers may be offered a free trial of 3 days, if the store considers you eligible (usually one trial per account). The trial and its length are shown before you confirm. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the free trial, the subscription starts automatically and you are charged the monthly price when the trial ends.
- Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.
- The subscription renews automatically for another month at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- All payments are processed by Apple or Google under their own terms. We do not receive or store your payment details.
3.4 Managing and cancelling
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your account settings: on iPhone and iPad, in Settings › your name › Subscriptions (or from the App: Profile › Subscription); on Android, in the Google Play Store app › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. When you cancel, Premium stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the subscription is not renewed after that. Your files remain in My files and you can keep using the free features.
3.5 Refunds
Refunds are handled by the store you bought from, under its rules. For purchases from the App Store, you can request a refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com; for purchases from Google Play, see https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637. Except where the law requires otherwise, we cannot issue refunds ourselves, because we do not process payments. Where the law gives you a right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content or services (for example in the European Union or Türkiye), please note that, by starting the subscription and its immediate access, you ask for the service to begin right away; any statutory withdrawal rights are exercised through the store under its procedures.
3.6 Price changes
We may change the price of iEdit Premium. Price changes apply from the next renewal period and are made in accordance with the rules of the App Store and Google Play, which may require that you are told in advance and, in some cases, that you agree to the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you can cancel your subscription before it takes effect.
3.7 Restoring purchases
If you reinstall the App or use another device signed in to the same App Store or Google Play account, tap "Restore purchases" on the Premium screen to restore an active subscription. If you sign in to iEdit with Apple or Google (optional), an active subscription is also available on your other iPhone, iPad and Android devices where you sign in with the same account; without signing in, a subscription bought through one store cannot be used through the other.
3.8 Family Sharing
If we make iEdit Premium available through Apple's Family Sharing, members of your family group may use it under Apple's rules. Whether Family Sharing is available is shown in the App Store.
4. Your content
"Your content" means the documents, pictures, videos, text, signatures and other material that you scan, import, create or edit with the App. You keep all rights you have in your content. We do not claim any ownership of it, and because the App processes it on your device, we do not have access to it.
You are solely responsible for your content and for how you use, share and store it. In particular:
- Make sure you have the right to scan, copy, convert, edit, sign or share the material you use with the App, including documents, photos, videos and music that belong to others or are protected by copyright, trade mark, privacy or other laws.
- Keep your own copies of important files. Your files are stored on your device and, if you turn on cloud backup, in your own iCloud or Google Drive. If you delete them, delete the App, lose or reset your device, or if your device fails, files that are not in a backup may be lost permanently. A backup depends on Apple's or Google's service and on your storage there; we keep no copy of our own and cannot restore files that are not in your backup.
- If you lock a PDF with a password, keep the password safe. Neither we nor anyone else can recover a lost password.
5. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the App, or any file made with it:
- to forge, counterfeit or alter identity documents, official documents, banknotes, certificates, contracts, receipts, signatures or other documents in order to deceive anyone;
- to sign a document in the name of another person without their authority, or to misrepresent that a document has been signed;
- to infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of anyone, including by copying, distributing or removing the copyright notices of protected works;
- to scan, analyse or share images or personal information of other people without a lawful basis or, where required, their consent, or to stalk, harass, threaten or harm anyone;
- to create, store or share content that is illegal, including child sexual abuse material, or content that promotes violence, terrorism or hatred;
- to violate any law or regulation, including export control and sanctions laws;
- to interfere with, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App, the stores, our service providers or any network or system, or to circumvent the App's subscription features; or
- in any way that is not permitted by the EULA.
Be careful with QR codes and barcodes: they can contain links to unsafe websites or harmful instructions. The App shows you what a code contains and does nothing until you choose an action. Only open links, join networks or add contacts that you trust.
6. Important limitations of the tools
The App uses automated processes whose results depend on the quality of the original material, the device and the settings you choose. You accept that:
- Text recognition (OCR), page edge detection, document clean-up, barcode reading, face detection, photo labelling, duplicate detection and best-shot selection may be incomplete or wrong. Always check the results before you rely on them, especially for legal, financial, medical, academic or official purposes.
- Conversions between formats (for example PDF to Word, Excel or PowerPoint, or image to Word) rebuild the content on your device and may not reproduce the original layout, fonts, tables or images exactly.
- Compression, resizing and format conversion can reduce the quality of images, videos and PDFs. The App keeps the original file, but please check a result before you delete the original.
- The privacy blur and the removal of location data and metadata work on the information the App can detect; they may miss faces, details or metadata. Check the result before you share it.
- The "Sign" tool places an image of your handwritten signature on a PDF. It is not a qualified, advanced or certified electronic signature under laws such as the EU eIDAS Regulation or the Turkish Electronic Signature Law No. 5070, and it does not prove who signed a document or when. Whether such a signature is valid for a particular purpose depends on the law and on the parties involved.
- PDF locking uses AES-256 encryption and the permissions defined in the PDF standard. Some PDF readers may not respect the restrictions on printing, copying or editing.
- Scanned ID cards and documents are images of the originals; they are not official copies.
The App is a productivity tool. It does not give legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.
7. Third-party services and content
The App works with services and software provided by others, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Cloudflare (which delivers the optional text-recognition models) and the open-source components listed in the App under Profile › Legal › Open-source licences. Your use of the App Store or Google Play is governed by Apple's or Google's own terms. Open-source components are licensed under their own licences, which take precedence over these Terms for those components. When you share a file or open a link with another app or website, that app or website is governed by its own terms and privacy policy, and we are not responsible for it.
8. Intellectual property
The App, including its software, design, user interface, texts, graphics, the "iEdit" name and logo and all related intellectual property rights, belongs to Favantis or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other laws. Except for the limited licence granted in the EULA and the rights granted by open-source licences, these Terms do not give you any right to use our intellectual property. "App Store" and "Apple" are trademarks of Apple Inc.; "Google Play" and "Android" are trademarks of Google LLC; other names are the trademarks of their owners.
9. Feedback
If you send us ideas, suggestions or other feedback about the App, you allow us to use them freely and without any obligation to you, but we do not acquire any rights in your content by receiving feedback.
10. Changes to the App and availability
We may update, improve, change or remove features of the App, change the formats it supports, or stop offering the App in some or all countries, at any time. Some updates may be needed to keep using the App. We will try to tell you in advance about changes that significantly affect a paid subscription. If we stop offering iEdit Premium altogether, we will stop renewals and, where required by law or by the store's rules, refunds for the unused part of a paid period will be made through the store. The App may not be available at all times, may not work on every device or operating system version, and may contain errors.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and iEdit Premium are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. Favantis disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that results produced with it will be accurate or reliable, or that defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you; in that case they apply to the extent permitted by law.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Favantis and its affiliates, employees and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, files, profits, revenue, business, goodwill or opportunities, arising out of or in connection with the App, iEdit Premium or these Terms, however caused and whether in contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or otherwise, even if we have been told such damages are possible.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the App, iEdit Premium or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for iEdit Premium in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) fifty US dollars (USD 50) or the equivalent in your local currency.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or wilful misconduct, for gross negligence where the law does not allow it to be limited, or under mandatory consumer protection or product liability laws.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Favantis and its affiliates, employees and licensors from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your content, your breach of these Terms or the EULA, or your violation of any law or of the rights of a third party. This section does not apply to consumers where such an obligation is not permitted by law.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it; remember to cancel any subscription in your store account. We may suspend or end your right to use the App, or refuse future purchases, if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms or the EULA, or if we are required to do so by law. Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16 continue to apply after these Terms end.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence; consumers in Türkiye may also apply to Consumer Arbitration Committees (Tüketici Hakem Heyetleri) and Consumer Courts within the limits set by law. Consumers in the European Union can also use the online dispute resolution procedures available to them. Otherwise, the competent courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye have jurisdiction. Before starting any formal proceedings, please contact us at support@favantis.com so that we can try to resolve the issue informally.
16. General
- These Terms, the EULA and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and Favantis about the App. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the EULA about the licence to use the App, the EULA prevails; about subscriptions, these Terms prevail.
- If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its intent.
- Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations to another company, for example in a merger or acquisition, provided that your rights are not reduced.
- These Terms are written in English. Translations, if any, are provided for convenience; the English version prevails where the law allows.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the App, to iEdit Premium or to the law. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, if the changes are significant, tell you in the App or on the App's store page before they take effect. By continuing to use the App after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the App and cancel your subscription. The current version is always available in the App under Profile › Legal and at https://ieditscanner.com/terms.
