Terms of Service
Last updated: February 16, 2026
The Deal
We built Lyonite to make working with PDFs painless. You need PDF tools, we built them. Here’s the agreement:
- You: Use our PDF tools responsibly and legally. Don’t process content you don’t have rights to.
- Us: Keep the tools running, fix bugs, don’t sell your data.
- Reality check: Software has bugs. Servers go down. We try hard, but we’re human.
- If things go wrong: We’re liable for what you paid (if anything). That’s it.
- Refunds: 14-day money-back guarantee. See our Refund Policy.

Our Approach to Legal Stuff
Most Terms of Service are written by lawyers for lawyers. They’re intentionally vague and one-sided. We tried to make ours clear and fair.
The core principle: Use our PDF tools responsibly. Don’t process documents you don’t have rights to. We’ll keep the tools running and not sell your data.
Last thing: By using Lyonite, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use our tools.
