Terms of Service
Welcome to Kache PDF! These terms are straightforward because our service is straightforward. We provide free, privacy-first PDF tools that run entirely in your browser. Here's what you need to know.
What Kache PDF Is
Kache PDF is a free web application providing PDF manipulation tools (merge, split, compress, convert, etc.) that run entirely in your browser.
We use WebAssembly and JavaScript to process your files locally, meaning nothing is uploaded to our servers. The service is provided as-is, free of charge.
Acceptance of Terms
By using Kache PDF, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service – it's that simple.
We reserve the right to update these terms, and your continued use means you accept any changes.
Your Responsibilities
- Use Kache PDF for lawful purposes only.
- Respect intellectual property rights – only process files you own or have permission to modify.
- Don't attempt to reverse engineer, hack, or compromise the application.
- Don't use automated systems to overwhelm the service.
- Take responsibility for your own files and backups – we can't recover anything.
What You Get
- Free access to all PDF tools without registration or account creation.
- Complete privacy – your files never leave your device.
- No watermarks, no file limits (within your browser's capabilities), and no hidden fees.
- Tools powered by trusted open-source libraries like PDF.js and PDF-Lib.
- A clean, ad-free experience focused on getting work done.
Limitations & Disclaimers
Kache PDF is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. While we strive to provide reliable tools, we cannot guarantee perfect results in all scenarios.
PDF processing can be complex, and some files may not process as expected. Always keep backups of important files because we're not liable for any data loss, corruption, or damages resulting from using the service.
Intellectual Property
The Kache PDF name, logo, and original code are our intellectual property. The PDF processing capabilities are powered by open-source libraries (PDF.js, PDF-Lib, etc.) under their respective licenses.
You may use the service freely, but you may not clone, redistribute, or create derivative services using our branding.
No Account, No Data Retention
Kache PDF doesn't require user accounts and doesn't store your files or personal information.
Because everything runs in your browser, once you close the tab your processed files are gone from our perspective (though they may remain in your downloads folder).
Service Availability
We aim to keep Kache PDF available 24/7, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance or due to factors beyond our control.
Since processing happens locally, you can still use any already-loaded tools even if our server goes down temporarily.
Termination
We reserve the right to block access to anyone who violates these terms or attempts to abuse the service.
Given that we don't have user accounts, this would be a last resort reserved for serious misuse.
Governing Law
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws.
Any disputes shall be resolved through appropriate legal channels in the relevant jurisdiction.
