Terms of service

Version 2026-07-31. If you use docubend, this is what you are agreeing to.

What docubend is

A tool for working on documents. The free tier runs in your browser: your file is not uploaded, nothing is stored, and the session ends when you close the tab. Two tools — password-protecting and unlocking a PDF — cannot be done in a browser and send your file to our server, where it is processed and deleted immediately. Those two pages say so on them.

A paid account stores the documents you choose to save, so that you can come back to them.

Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your password to yourself. Tell us if you think somebody else has got into it. You must be old enough to enter a contract where you live.

Paying

The paid plan is $9 per month, billed monthly in advance, until you cancel. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see or hold your card details. Cancel whenever you like — you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund part-months. If a payment fails we will retry it; if it keeps failing the account drops back to the free tier and your saved documents remain available to download.

We will give at least 30 days' notice by email before changing the price of an existing subscription.

Your documents are yours

You keep every right you already had in anything you upload or make here. We do not claim ownership, we do not use your documents to train anything, and we do not look at them except where you have asked us to do something specific with one or where we genuinely have to in order to fix a fault you have reported.

You give us only the permission needed to run the service for you — to store a document so you can open it again, and to show it to the people you have shared it with.

What you must not do

Do not use docubend to break the law, to infringe somebody else's rights, to handle material you have no right to handle, or to attack the service or the people using it. Do not try to get around the limits on the free tier by automating it.

Interruptions and endings

We try to keep this running and we do not promise it will never be down. We may suspend or close an account that is breaking these terms; if we do, we will say why unless we are not allowed to. You can close your account at any time, and you can export your documents before you do.

Liability

The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability in any twelve month period is limited to what you paid us in that period. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Keep your own copies. We take nightly backups and we test that they restore, but no online service is a substitute for a copy of an important document somewhere you control.

Changes

If these terms change materially we will email account holders and update the version at the top. Carrying on using docubend after that means accepting the new version.
