Our Software

The OncePDF platform, including our WebAssembly engines and UI, is fully owned by Lumewise Technology.

Your Documents

You retain 100% full ownership, copyright, and intellectual property rights over any files you process.

Our Content

Blogs, guides, images, and tutorials are our copyrighted material and cannot be reproduced without permission.

DMCA Policy

We rapidly investigate and remove any infringing materials reported to our dedicated legal team.

1. Copyright Ownership

All content, materials, algorithms, and software features presented on the OncePDF website (collectively referred to as the "Service") are the exclusive intellectual property of Lumewise Technology Private Limited, its affiliates, or its licensors. These assets are protected by international copyright laws, trademark laws, and various intellectual property treaties.

By accessing and utilizing OncePDF, you acknowledge that Lumewise Technology retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service. The provision of our Service to you does not transfer any proprietary rights to you or any third party.

2. Software Ownership

OncePDF is built upon a proprietary software architecture that enables client-side processing of PDF documents directly within a web browser. The underlying source code, WebAssembly (WASM) modules, JavaScript engines, APIs, and overall system architecture are the sole property of Lumewise Technology.

Reverse Engineering Prohibition

You are strictly prohibited from reverse-engineering, decompiling, disassembling, deciphering, or otherwise attempting to derive the source code or underlying algorithms of our WebAssembly modules or JavaScript engines.

Any attempt to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our software, or to bypass the security features of the Service, constitutes a severe breach of this Copyright Notice and will result in immediate legal action.

3. Website Content & Assets

Beyond the software itself, the visual presentation and informational content of OncePDF are also fiercely protected.

Blog & Educational Content

Articles, tutorials, guides, and written text on our blog are copyrighted. You may link to our content, but you may not scrape, copy, or republish it without explicit written consent.

Images & Graphics

All UI designs, logos, custom illustrations, icons, and visual assets are proprietary. Unauthorized use of these graphical elements on external projects is strictly prohibited.

4. User Uploaded Content

At OncePDF, we strongly believe in digital privacy and the sovereignty of your data. We do not claim any copyright, ownership, or intellectual property rights over the PDF documents, images, text, or any other files you process using our tools.

  • Your Documents Remain Yours: You retain 100% of all intellectual property rights in your original files and the resulting edited or converted output files.
  • No Licensing Granted to Us: Because our core processing occurs locally in your browser, you are not granting us a license to host, display, or modify your files on our servers.
  • Responsibility: While you retain ownership, you are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to possess and process the documents you load into OncePDF. We do not monitor or take responsibility for the legality of your content.

5. Acceptable Use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use OncePDF strictly for its intended purpose—processing and managing your digital documents. Under this license, you agree NOT to:

No Scraping

Utilize automated bots, spiders, or scrapers to extract data, text, or source code from our platform.

No Clones

Create derivative works, clones, or competing services by copying our user interface or core logic.

No Framing

Frame or embed OncePDF within another website without our explicit, written API partnership agreement.

No Piracy

Use our tools to intentionally strip DRM, remove copyright watermarks, or facilitate the distribution of pirated materials.

6. Infringement Reporting (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on OncePDF infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Please note: Because the vast majority of our tools operate entirely locally in the user's browser without uploading files to our servers, we physically cannot remove documents from a user's private device. However, if infringing content is publicly hosted on our blog, forums, or cloud-storage features, we will act swiftly.

How to file a report:

Send a written communication to our legal team at legal@oncepdf.com containing:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  • Identification of the specific URL or location where the infringing material is located on our servers.
  • Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email).
  • A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with applicable law, OncePDF has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers of copyright.

7. Trademark Notice

"OncePDF," the OncePDF logo, "Lumewise Technology," and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Lumewise Technology Private Limited or its affiliates.

You must not use such marks without our prior written permission.
