Thank you for using iLovePDF API, other developer services, and associated software (collectively, "API"). By accessing or using our API, you are agreeing to the terms below. If there is a conflict between these terms and additional terms applicable to a given API, the additional terms will control for that conflict. Collectively, we refer to the terms below, any additional terms, terms within the accompanying API documentation, and any applicable policies and guidelines as the "Terms." You agree to comply with the Terms and that the Terms control your relationship with us. So please read all the Terms carefully. If you use the API as an interface to, or in conjunction with other iLovePDF products or services, then the terms for those other products or services also apply.
Under the Terms, "iLovePDF API" means iLovePDF S.L., with an address at: Sabino de Arana 60, 08028 Barcelona, Spain, NIF (fiscal identification number) ESB66921552, unless set forth otherwise in additional terms applicable for a given API. We may refer to "iLovePDF" as "we", "our", or "us" in the Terms.
We welcome you to the website of iLovePDF API (denominated from this point forward as “the Website.” The current Website offers its users solely a web application which allows one to manipulate documents and/or images and is capable of joining, dividing, compressing, and making the conversion to different formats and/or other functions, the development of which will be achieved in the future.
You may not use the APIs and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with iLovePDF, or (b) you are a person barred from using or receiving the APIs under the applicable laws of the Spain or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the APIs.
If you are using the API on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Terms refer to that entity).
In order to access to our API you will be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the API, or as part of your billing information. Any registration information you give to iLovePDF will always be accurate and up to date and you'll inform us promptly of any updates.
iLovePDF won't do do any type of data mining to its users and clients with their account details and/or project analytics. Neither with any uploaded and/or processed files.
You will require your end users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable law, regulation, and the Terms.
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use the API to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service with iLovePDF.
You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If we assign you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs), you must use them with the applicable API. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your API Client's identity when using the APIs or developer accounts.
iLovePDF limits the number of API requests that you may make, in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API. If you would like to use any API beyond these limits, you must obtain iLovePDF's express consent (and iLovePDF may decline such request or condition acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To seek such approval, contact the relevant iLovePDF API team for information (e.g. by contacting to [email protected]).
Some of the software required by or included in our API may be offered under an open source license as it is with our API libraries. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with iLovePDF for the applicable open source software.
We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the APIs. Please review the applicable API documentation for information about opting out of certain types of communication.
If you provide feedback or suggestions about our APIs, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.
The Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that iLovePDF may develop products or services that may compete with the API Clients or any other products or services.
The API is designed to help you enhance your websites and applications ("API Client(s)"). YOU AGREE THAT iLovePDF MAY MONITOR USE OF THE APIS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE iLovePDF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include iLovePDF accessing and using your API Client, for example to identify security issues that could affect iLovePDF or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. iLovePDF may use any technical means to overcome such interference. iLovePDF may suspend access to the API by you or your API Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.
As exposed in Section 1. Point c. Registration, iLovePDF don't do any type of data mining to its users and clients.
You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API Client, including personally identifiable information ("PII"), from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.
iLovePDF does not acquire ownership in your API Clients, and by using our API, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our API or the content that is accessed through our API.
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to PII.

If any of the clauses of the present Contract might become null due to contravention of the applicable legislation, said clause will be assumed not to be in effect, but will not affect the rest of the Contract, which will be assumed to be in full effectivity and validity between the parties.
You may stop using our API at any time with or without notice. Further, if you want to terminate the Terms, you must provide iLovePDF with prior written notice and upon termination, cease your use of the applicable API. iLovePDF reserves the right to terminate the Terms with you or discontinue the API or any portion or feature or your access thereto for any reason and at any time without liability or other obligation to you.
