Terms and Conditions

1 Binding Agreement & Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to ConvertHEICtoPDF (accessible at https://convertheictopdf.com). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "User", "you", or "your") and ConvertHEICtoPDF, developed and operated by RT ("we", "us", or "our").

By visiting, accessing, browsing, or utilizing any conversion tools, guides, documentation, or services offered on this website (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of the provisions set forth in these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with all provisions of these Terms, you are explicitly prohibited from using the Service and must immediately discontinue using this website.

2 Nature of the Service & Client-Side Architecture

ConvertHEICtoPDF provides a 100% browser-based, client-side digital media transformation platform. Our software enables users to convert Apple High Efficiency Image File Format (.heic and .heif) files into universal standard formats including PDF, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, GIF, ICO, PSD, and TIFF.

Because all file decoding, rasterization, color space transformation, and encoding take place strictly inside your client web browser's local memory (RAM) via WebAssembly and HTML5 Canvas APIs, no uploaded image file is ever transmitted across the internet to our servers. Consequently, ConvertHEICtoPDF has no physical custody, copy, or technical access to your private photographs or documents.

3 Intellectual Property Rights of ConvertHEICtoPDF

Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the Service, including all source code, software logic, WebAssembly routines, styling scripts, HTML templates, website designs, graphic icons, typography, tutorials, editorial articles, format guides, and benchmarks (collectively, the "Content") are owned or licensed by ConvertHEICtoPDF and are protected by copyright, trademark, and unfair competition laws.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service strictly for your personal, educational, or commercial file conversion needs. You may not scrape, mirror, frame, duplicate, or redistribute the website's proprietary codebase or editorial documentation without prior written permission.

Apple, iPhone, iPad, macOS, iOS, HEIC, and HEIF are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. Adobe, Photoshop, and PSD are registered trademarks of Adobe Inc. Google and Android are registered trademarks of Google LLC. Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. All third-party trademarks referenced on this site belong to their respective owners and do not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship.

4 User Representations, Warranties & Permitted Use

5 Prohibited Activities

7 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) & Takedown Policy

ConvertHEICtoPDF respects the intellectual property rights of creators. Because our service operates entirely client-side without storing user files on our servers, we do not host, store, index, or distribute user content.

However, if you believe that any editorial guide, article, diagram, or asset hosted on our domain infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a formal DMCA Notification to our designated copyright agent containing: (i) identification of the copyrighted work; (ii) identification of the allegedly infringing material; (iii) your full contact details; and (iv) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized.

Submit all DMCA inquiries to our designated agent at info@convertheictopdf.com.

8 Disclaimer of Warranties ("AS IS" & "AS AVAILABLE")

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CONVERTHEICTOPDF AND ITS CREATOR RT DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that: (i) the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free at all times; (ii) defects or bugs in conversion output will be immediately corrected; or (iii) file transformations will perfectly replicate color spaces, transparency masks, or multi-frame animations across all third-party software readers. File processing depends directly on your individual device hardware specifications and web browser compatibility.

9 Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL CONVERTHEICTOPDF, ITS DEVELOPERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, CORRUPTION OF FILES, OR SYSTEM HARDWARE DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

BECAUSE THE SERVICE EXECUTES LOCALLY WITHIN YOUR BROWSER AND DOES NOT RETAIN BACKUPS OF ORIGINAL OR CONVERTED ASSETS, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING INDEPENDENT BACKUPS OF YOUR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.

10 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ConvertHEICtoPDF and its developer RT from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand (including reasonable legal fees) made by any third party arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your violation of third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or (iii) any harmful or unlawful acts committed through your use of the website.

11 Governing Law & Severability

These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of these Terms shall be instituted exclusively in the competent courts of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

12 Modifications & Official Inquiries

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time. We will notify users of updates by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website following the posting of revised Terms confirms your acceptance of the changes.
