THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, that the Service is free of viruses or harmful components, or that the output files will meet your specific requirements or expectations.

You are solely responsible for maintaining adequate backups of your original documents. PDF Size Reducer is not responsible for any data loss resulting from use of the Service.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PDF SIZE REDUCER AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED €100 (ONE HUNDRED EUROS).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PDF Size Reducer Technologies and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

10. Termination

Because PDF Size Reducer does not require account registration, there is no formal account to suspend. However, we reserve the right to block access to the Service — by IP address or other technical means — if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your use violates these Terms or poses a risk to other users or our systems.

Upon termination of your access, all licences granted to you under these Terms immediately terminate. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the European Union and the laws of the jurisdiction in which PDF Size Reducer Technologies is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body.

12. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced via a prominent notice on the website. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
