Terms of Use

Last updated: 30 July 2026

Acceptance

By using thekkelsoft.in and its tools, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The service

ThekkelSoft provides free utilities that run in your web browser, such as the PDF Compressor, the PDF Editor (including its merge and split tools), the Anything to PDF converter (text, code and images) and image tools (compress, convert and HEIC to JPG). Files, text and images you process are handled entirely on your own device — see our Privacy Policy for details. Because processing happens on your device, results depend on your browser and hardware.

Accounts

Some features may require a free account. Registration is optional and is never needed to use the core browser tools. Account sign-up and sign-in are provided by Firebase Authentication (a Google service) — you may register with a valid email address and password, verified via the link Firebase emails you, or sign in with your Google account. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. Provide accurate information, do not create accounts for anyone else without authorisation, and do not share or attempt to access another person’s account. We may suspend, deactivate or remove accounts that are inactive, or that we reasonably believe are used for abuse or in breach of these terms; a deactivated account cannot sign in.

Some tools or features may require a signed-in account, or a paid membership, to access. We may change which tools are free, members-only or paid, enable or disable a tool, or make a tool temporarily unavailable, at any time and without notice.

Shared Expenses

The Shared Expenses feature lets you record and split expenses with people you choose. All balances, splits and “who owes whom” figures are informational tools to help you keep track — they are not financial, accounting or tax advice, and they do not create, settle or transfer any actual debt or payment. Any real money owed between you and others is a private matter between those people; we are not a party to it and take no responsibility for it.

You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter and for having a reasonable basis to add someone to a group. When you invite a person by email, you confirm you are entitled to share their address with us for that purpose, and we will email them a notification. You may also share a group invite link: anyone who opens that link and signs in can join the group and see its contents, so share it only with people you intend to add, and reset the link if it is exposed. Do not enter content that is unlawful, or that infringes another person’s rights. We may remove groups or content, or suspend the feature, where we reasonably believe it is misused.

Voluntary contributions

The free tools are free. We may offer the option to support the developer with a voluntary contribution via Razorpay. Contributions are donations, not payment for goods or services: they grant no additional features, no entitlement to support, and no warranty of any kind. Contributions are non-refundable except as required by law or by Razorpay’s own policies. Payment processing is performed entirely by Razorpay under its own terms.

Paid membership

Certain tools may be offered as part of a paid membership. Payment is processed by Razorpay under its own terms; we never receive your card or UPI details. A paid membership grants access to the designated members-plus tools for the stated period, after which it lapses unless renewed. Access is provided on the same “as is” basis and under the same limitations of liability as the rest of the site — a paid membership does not create any additional warranty. Except where a refund is required by law, payments are non-refundable; if you believe a charge is in error, contact us and we will review it in good faith. We may change the price or the set of included tools going forward; any such change applies only to future payments, not to a membership period you have already paid for.

No warranty

The tools are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that a tool will be error-free, that output files will be usable for any particular purpose, or that the service will be uninterrupted. Always keep a copy of your original files.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ThekkelSoft shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising from your use of the site or tools.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site — including attempting to disrupt the service, probe or breach its security, circumvent captcha or rate limits, submit automated or bulk sign-up requests, or use it in violation of applicable law. You are responsible for the content of files you process and for having the right to process them.

Intellectual property

The site, its design, and its code are owned by ThekkelSoft or its licensors. Files you process remain entirely yours — we claim no rights over them and, as described in the Privacy Policy, never receive them.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the “last updated” date revised accordingly.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and courts in Kerala, India shall have jurisdiction over any disputes.
