Terms of use

The rules for using Paperwell, including how Pro subscriptions and free trials work.

Effective date: 2 November 2026 · Publisher: Erik Geiger, Romania

Agreement

These terms are a contract between you and Erik Geiger ("we", "us"), the publisher of the Paperwell app (the "App") and this website. By installing or using the App, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. Our Privacy policy explains how data is handled.

Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal or business use, in line with these terms and the rules of your app store. All rights not granted are reserved. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell or build competing services from the App, except where the law allows it. The App includes third-party open-source components that are licensed under their own terms; they are listed in the App.

Free and Pro

Paperwell offers free tools and a set of Pro tools. Which tools are free or Pro can change as the App evolves, and some Pro tools may offer a small number of free tries. Pro is unlocked by an active subscription or by the lifetime purchase described below.

Subscriptions

Free trial

New subscribers may get a 3-day free trial on the weekly, monthly and yearly plans. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged the plan price. A trial can be used once per Apple ID or Google account, and any unused part of a trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Eligibility is decided by your store.

Lifetime purchase

The Lifetime option is a one-time payment that unlocks Pro for as long as the App is made available to you and works on your supported devices, without renewals. "Lifetime" refers to the life of the App, not to your own lifetime. You can restore it on other devices signed in to the same Apple ID or Google account with Restore purchases.

Your content

You keep all rights to your documents, photos and other content. Paperwell processes them on your device and we do not receive them. Because files are kept out of cloud backups for your privacy, you are responsible for keeping copies of anything important by exporting or sharing it. We are not responsible for loss caused by deleting the App, resetting or losing your device, or by using "Delete all my data".

Acceptable use

Signatures and accuracy

Important. A signature, date or text you place with Paperwell is an image or annotation on the document. It is not a qualified or certified electronic signature and does not add a digital certificate. Whether a recipient accepts it is up to them and to the law that applies. Text recognition (OCR), compression, conversion and other results can contain errors; please check important results yourself. Paperwell does not give legal, tax or financial advice.

Warranty

To the extent the law allows, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without promises that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms limits any warranty or right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss of data or documents. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for it in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or anything that cannot be excluded by law.

Apple and Google

These terms are between you and us only, not with Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App, its content, maintenance, support or claims about it. If the App fails to meet a legal warranty, you may notify your store, which may refund the purchase price as its rules provide. Apple, Google and their subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms where Apple's or Google's own terms say so, and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country under a government embargo and are not on a prohibited-parties list. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement also applies to App Store downloads, and if it conflicts with these terms on a point it covers, Apple's terms prevail on that point.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live. Disputes are handled by the competent courts of Romania, unless mandatory law gives you the right to go to your local courts. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.

Changes and termination

We may update the App and these terms. If a change is important, we will tell you in the App or here, and the new date will appear above. Continued use after a change means you accept it. We may suspend access for breach of these terms. You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it and cancelling any subscription.
