Terms of Use

1Provider and scope

These Terms govern the Android app Lovagehum, provided by Zydeno. Contact [email protected] with any question about them. The Privacy Policy explains what stays on your device, how the optional camera works, what you can save and export, and how support e-mails are handled.

2Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Zydeno, the developer of Lovagehum (“we”, “us”). They apply to the Lovagehum app for Android, its updates and everything it shows or produces (together, “the app”). By installing, opening or using the app you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the app and uninstall it.

The Privacy Policy explains how the app handles data and forms part of these Terms. If we offer optional features under additional terms in the future, for example paid features, those terms will be shown to you before you accept them and will apply together with these Terms.

You must be old enough to enter into a binding contract where you live, or use the app with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms for you. If you use the app for an organisation, you confirm that you may accept these Terms on its behalf; the consumer-protection provisions of these Terms apply only to consumers.

3The app

Lovagehum is an offline tool for PDF documents and paper. It can combine PDF files and photos into one document; arrange, rotate, remove, extract and split pages; make files smaller; fill in form fields; add a signature or initials that you draw or take from a photo of your signature on paper; save pages as pictures; hide selected text by turning the chosen pages into images; remove document information such as the author, the software used or photo locations; open documents protected by a password you know and protect a new copy with a password; and scan paper with the camera, with edge detection and cleaned-up page images. Each operation produces a new copy, checks it and shows you a summary of what changed and what was checked; your original file is not changed. You can save the copy to a place you choose or send it to another app with Share.

The app is a personal productivity tool. It has no account, no online service, no cloud storage and no community features. It is not a legal, notarial, archival, identity-verification or electronic-signature service, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed or certified by any software maker, standards body, authority or organisation whose file formats or forms you may use with it.

4Not professional advice; no safety-critical use

The app is a tool to help you work with your own documents. It does not give legal, notarial, records-management or other expert advice, does not check whether a document is complete, correct, lawful or acceptable to its recipient, and using it does not create a professional relationship with us. You remain responsible for the documents you choose, the changes you make and what you do with the results.

Do not use the app as the only basis for a decision where an error could cause legal or financial loss, harm to another person or damage to property, and do not use it in a safety-critical system or in an emergency. Lovagehum is not an electronic-signature, notarial, certified redaction, archival or secure-deletion service, and a drawn signature is not a digital signature.

5Licence to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to download, install and use the app on Android devices you own or control, for your own purposes. The app is licensed to you, not sold.

Except where these Terms, an open-source licence or mandatory law allow it (for example decompiling for interoperability where the law permits), you may not: copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the app; decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer it; rent, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or publish it, or make it available for use by others over a network; remove or change any copyright, trademark or legal notice; or get around any technical limit of the app, including any future purchase, licence or advertising mechanism.

Open-source components and fonts in the app are licensed under their own licences, listed in the app under Settings → Licences. Those licences prevail for those components, and nothing in these Terms limits the rights they give you.

6Your documents and your rights to them

You may use Lovagehum only with documents, photos and scans that you are entitled to open, copy, change and share. The app does not give you any right in a document that you do not already have. In particular:

• Respect copyright, licences and confidentiality obligations that apply to a document, including books, articles, forms, templates and documents provided by an employer, school, court or other organisation.
• Open a password-protected PDF only if you know the password and are allowed to use the document. The app does not crack, guess or bypass passwords, and removing a password you know from a copy does not give you permission to use the document in ways its owner has not allowed.
• Do not use the app to forge, falsify or alter a document in a misleading way, for example to change the content of a contract, certificate, invoice, identity or official document, or to pass off a changed copy as the original.
• Scan and photograph only paper and places you are allowed to record, and respect the privacy of other people whose details appear in your documents.

Fonts and images already embedded in a document belong to their owners. Keeping them in a copy you produce does not give you a separate right to extract or distribute them.

7What the app checks, and its limits

PDF is a large and complex format, and documents differ widely in how they were made. The app opens, changes and writes documents with the open-source software described in §13 and checks each new copy automatically, for example that it opens again, that the expected pages are present and that changed pages render. A check that passes means that the specific checks listed in the summary passed; it does not guarantee that every page looks or behaves exactly like the original in every PDF reader, printer or upload portal.

• Unsupported content: some documents or features, such as certain image formats, interactive forms, layers, attachments, accessibility tags or existing digital signatures, may not be supported or may be changed or removed in the copy. Where the app detects this, it tells you before it saves; it cannot detect every case.
• Making files smaller: reducing the size can lower image quality and the readability of small print. Size estimates and target sizes are aims, not guarantees; the result may be larger than the target, and some files cannot be made smaller.
• Scans: edge detection, perspective correction, cleaned-up page images and black-and-white conversion are automatic suggestions that can miss or crop content, lose faint marks or colours, or straighten a page imperfectly. Enlarging a small photo does not add detail.
• Damaged files: the app may be able to repair some damaged documents. A repaired copy can still miss content that was lost in the damaged file.

Keep your original files until you have opened the new copy, checked every page that matters and confirmed that the recipient accepts it.

8Drawn signatures

Whether a document with a drawn signature is accepted, and whether it has legal effect, depends on the law, the recipient and the type of document; some documents require a handwritten signature on paper, a witness, a notary or a certified electronic signature. You are responsible for checking this before you rely on a signed copy. Sign only documents you have read and are entitled to sign, and sign only in your own name unless you are lawfully authorised to sign for someone else. Changing a document that already carries a digital signature can make that signature invalid; the app keeps such documents read-only or warns you where it detects this.

9Hiding text and removing document information

When you hide text, the app turns the selected pages of the new copy into images with the marked areas filled in, and removes the original text, images and links of those pages from that copy. When you remove document information, the app removes the information fields and metadata it recognises, such as author, software, edit history and photo location, from the new copy. Before saving, the app shows you what will change, for example that hidden pages can no longer be searched or read aloud.

• These functions apply only to the new copy. They do not change or erase your original file, other copies, backups, earlier e-mails or uploads, or data that remains in your phone’s storage.
• You choose what to hide. The app cannot know which information is sensitive, and its search can miss text that is part of an image, written by hand, split across lines or written in an unusual way. Review every page of the saved copy before you share it.
• Information can also be revealed by what remains visible, such as the length of a hidden name, the context around it or other pages.

The app is not a certified redaction, anonymisation or secure-deletion tool. Where the law, a court, an employer or a regulator sets specific requirements for removing information, follow those requirements and have the result checked by a qualified person.

10Passwords and protection

A password set on a PDF makes the copy harder to open for people who do not know it, but no protection is absolute. Restrictions on printing or copying that some PDF readers respect can be ignored by other software. Choose strong passwords and keep them safe: the app does not save your passwords, we cannot recover them, and a document whose password you forget may be impossible to open.

11Safe and considerate use

• Do not use the app while driving, cycling or doing anything that needs your full attention, and take care when you photograph documents in traffic or in public places.
• Some documents, such as identity cards, banknotes or certain official papers, may by law not be copied, scanned or changed, or only for limited purposes. Follow the rules that apply where you are.
• Choose where you save and with whom you share documents carefully, especially documents about other people.

You are responsible for the documents you open, the changes you choose, the copies you save and share, and the decisions you make based on them.

12Your data, backups and deletion

Your documents, scans, finished copies and settings are stored only on your device. We hold no copy and cannot restore lost data. Android automatic backup and device transfer are switched off, so uninstalling the app, clearing its storage, resetting or losing your phone erases the data in the app unless you have saved your documents elsewhere or exported a backup. Use Settings → Your data to export a backup, to restore one and to delete all data.

Restoring a backup replaces what is in the app; the app lets you undo it, but export a copy first. The app checks archives and copies, but it cannot guarantee recovery after a device or storage failure. A backup is encrypted only if you protect it with a password; we cannot recover that password, and a backup whose password is lost cannot be restored. Backups may contain your original documents, photos with their metadata and saved signatures. If you choose a cloud-backed location or pass a file to another app, that provider or app is responsible for the file under its own terms. Deleting data in the app does not delete files you saved or exported elsewhere.

13Third-party software and original content

The app uses AndroidX (including CameraX), Jetpack Compose, DataStore, Kotlin, kotlinx.coroutines and kotlinx.serialization (Copyright The Android Open Source Project, JetBrains s.r.o. and contributors) under the Apache License 2.0; PdfBox-Android, a port of Apache PDFBox (Copyright The Apache Software Foundation and the other holders named in its NOTICE file), and qpdf (Copyright Jay Berkenbilt and Manfred Holger), including its public-domain AES code and the MIT-licensed sphlib SHA-2 code, under the Apache License 2.0; Bouncy Castle (Copyright The Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc.) under an MIT-style licence; libjpeg-turbo under BSD-style and IJG licences; zlib under the zlib licence; libyuv under a BSD licence; the Android NDK C++ runtime under the Apache License 2.0 with LLVM exception and the notices of the NDK; and Unicode CLDR data under the Unicode License v3. The typefaces PT Sans Caption (Copyright ParaType Ltd.), STIX Two Text (Copyright The STIX Fonts Project Authors), Noto Sans (Copyright The Noto Project Authors) and Liberation Sans included with PdfBox-Android (Copyright Google Corporation and Red Hat, Inc.) are used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Lovagehum includes a documented modification of PdfBox-Android that disables one image decoder. Licence texts and notices are available offline in the app under Settings → Licences. Where an open-source licence gives you rights that differ from these Terms, the open-source licence prevails for that component. The authors of these components do not endorse the app.

The icon, illustrations, layouts, interface sounds, help texts, sample documents and translations are created for Lovagehum. Any sample documents shown in the app contain fictional data only. PDF is an open standard (ISO 32000); names of file formats, standards and other products appear only to describe compatibility and belong to their owners. Android, Google Play, your browser, e-mail app and document provider are independent products and services with their own terms; they are named only to explain how the app works.

14Acceptable use

Use the app lawfully and in line with these Terms. Open and import only files you trust and have the right to use. Do not use the app, or documents made with it, to deceive, defraud or harm anyone, to falsify evidence or records, or to infringe anyone’s rights.

15Intellectual property

The app’s original code, design, artwork, sounds and texts are protected by intellectual-property law and belong to us or our licensors. Saving a PDF or exporting a backup gives you a copy of your own documents; it does not transfer rights in the app’s software, artwork or fonts, and it does not change who owns the documents themselves.

16Price, payments, ads and future paid features

Current version. The current version of Lovagehum is provided free of charge, without ads and without in-app purchases or subscriptions. This describes the current version only. It is not a promise that the app, or any feature of it, will remain free of charge or free of ads.

Possible changes. We may at any time introduce advertising; offer paid features, in-app purchases, subscriptions or a paid edition; change which features are free; and set or change prices. Features that are free today may require payment in a future version. We will describe such changes in the store listing and release notes, and in the Privacy Policy where they affect data.

Purchases. Any purchase will be made through Google Play and processed by Google under the Google Play Terms of Service and its payment policies. Prices are shown in Google Play before you buy, including taxes where applicable. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play; cancelling stops future renewals. Refunds follow Google Play’s refund policies and your mandatory consumer rights, such as the right of withdrawal in the EU and the UK. Where you ask for immediate access to digital content during a withdrawal period, you may lose that right to the extent the law allows, and you will be asked to confirm this before you buy. You are charged only if you choose to buy something.

Ads. If the app shows ads, they are supplied by third parties. We are not responsible for the content of ads or for the products and services advertised, and any dealings with advertisers are between you and them.

Price changes. We may change prices for future purchases at any time. For an active subscription, we will announce a price increase as Google Play and the law require, and you can cancel before it applies.

17Disclaimer of warranties

The app and its functions for combining, arranging, splitting, compressing, signing, hiding text, removing document information, protecting with passwords, scanning, checking, saving, backing up and restoring documents are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that any copy the app produces will be accepted by a particular recipient, portal, authority or court, will look or behave like the original in every reader, will reach a particular file size or quality, will have all sensitive information removed, or will be legally valid as a signed document, or that documents stored on your device will be preserved.

18Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from a copy, scan, signature, hidden area, password or check result produced or shown by the app, or from a decision you or others make based on it, including a document rejected or submitted late, a missed deadline, a contract or application affected by a damaged, incomplete or unreadable copy, information disclosed because it was not hidden or not removed from a copy, a signed copy that is not accepted or not legally effective, a document you can no longer open because its password is lost, or lost, corrupted or overwritten documents, scans or backups.

19Your rights as a consumer

If you use the app as a consumer, you benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live, and nothing in these Terms affects them. In particular:

• EU and EEA: your statutory rights, including those on the conformity of digital content and digital services under the national rules implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770 where they apply, and mandatory product-liability rules, remain unaffected.
• United Kingdom: your statutory rights, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, remain unaffected.
• Australia: our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Where the law allows us to limit our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee for services that are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.
• New Zealand: if you acquire the app for business purposes, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply, to the extent the law permits.
• United States and Canada: some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the exclusions above may not apply to you. In Québec, the mandatory provisions of the Consumer Protection Act apply.

20Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer against claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable costs, including reasonable legal fees, brought by third parties and arising out of (a) the documents, photos and scans you open, change, sign, save or share, including documents about other people and documents you are not entitled to copy, change or share, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or of the rights of others, or (d) output of the app that you provide to another person, such as a client or employer. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own breach of these Terms or our negligence, or where local consumer law does not allow it.

21Changes, availability and termination

To the extent the law allows, we may change, update, add or remove features, change data sources, and suspend or discontinue the app, in whole or in part or in any country, at any time. We are not obliged to provide updates, maintenance or support, except where mandatory consumer law requires updates to keep the app in conformity.

You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. Your licence ends automatically if you materially breach these Terms, and we may end or suspend it where the law requires. When it ends, you must stop using the app and uninstall it. Your data stays on your device under your control, so export what you need first.

Provisions that by their nature should continue after these Terms end continue to apply, including those on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law and general provisions.

22Google Play

You obtain the app through Google Play. Your download, and any purchase you make, is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service and Google’s policies. Where these Terms conflict with Google Play’s terms on the distribution, billing, refunds or licensing of apps obtained from Google Play, Google Play’s terms prevail to the extent of that conflict.

These Terms are between you and the developer only, not Google. Google is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC.

23Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the app, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by the law of the country in which the developer is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The courts competent for the place where the developer is established have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country where that law allows it.

Before starting formal proceedings, please write to [email protected] and give us at least 30 days to try to resolve the issue informally. This does not affect any time limit that applies to you by law or your right to use an alternative dispute-resolution body available to consumers in your country.

24General provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms you accept for optional features are the entire agreement between you and us about the app.
• Severability. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it applies to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example together with the app to another developer; where the law requires, this will not reduce your rights as a consumer.
• Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of networks, devices or third-party services, natural disasters or acts of authorities.
• Export and sanctions. You agree to use the app in compliance with applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
• No third-party rights. No one other than you and us may enforce these Terms.
• Notices. We may give notices in the app, in its store listing or release notes, or on this page. You can send notices to [email protected].
• Language. These Terms are written in English, which is the binding version. A translation, if offered, is for convenience only, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.

25Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms, for example when we change the app, introduce ads or paid features (§16), or when the law changes. The effective date and version at the top of this page show which version applies, and the version history (§26) summarises the changes.

For material changes we give reasonable notice before they take effect, for example in the release notes or in the app. If you keep using the app after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the app and uninstall it. Changes do not apply to disputes that arose before they took effect.
