Terms of use

This English version is a courtesy translation. The German version is legally binding and prevails in case of any difference.

1. The app

UCA PDF Editor is a PDF app for Android and Windows, developed by a natural person (sole trader: the operator named in the imprint). The Android app is free with ads; it is ad-free with UCA PDF Plus, a Windows licence or a company plan. The free edition of the Windows app shows no ads. Companies can get a company account (company data, stamp, employees' signatures) from the operator or an authorised partner under a separate offer.

1a. Licences and company plans: businesses only

Windows licences (the UCA PDF Editor Standard / Pro licence per user, update extensions) and the company plans (Starter, Team, Business, custom offers) are sold only to businesses (Unternehmer, § 14 BGB) for their trade, business or professional activity, not to consumers (§ 13 BGB). Before checkout the buyer confirms this. All prices for them are net, plus 19 % VAT (or the VAT that applies). UCA PDF Plus (Google Play) is a separate subscription and is sold and billed by Google Play.

2. Signatures, stamps and documents

Signatures made with the app are simple electronic signatures (eIDAS Art. 3 No. 10), not advanced or qualified ones. They do not meet the written form (§ 126 BGB) - for that a qualified electronic signature (§ 126a BGB) or a handwritten signature is needed. A company stamp has no legal effect of its own. You are responsible for whether a document, signature or invoice is suitable for your purpose. Read the legal notes.

3. Invoices and records

The invoice templates check the mandatory fields of § 14 (4) UStG, but you remain responsible for correct content, tax rates and numbering. The app is not an archive: keep invoices and business letters unchanged for the legal periods yourself (§ 147 AO, § 14b UStG, GoBD). For domestic B2B invoices the e-invoice rules apply (see the legal notes).

4. Share links

Do not share content you are not allowed to share. We cannot see what is in a link, but we remove links that are reported to us as illegal.

5. Company accounts

The company admin is responsible for the company data, for whom it invites and for the signing authority it gives (i. A., i. V., ppa.). The company accepts the data processing agreement (AVV) before inviting employees. Licence terms (seats, period) are agreed with the operator or the partner.

5a. Starter, Team and Business plans

The self-service plans are for businesses only (§ 14 BGB, see 1a), per company, net plus VAT: Starter (up to 3 employees, 12,90 € per month or 129 € per year), Team (up to 10 employees, 29 € per month or 290 € per year), both with a UCA PDF Editor Standard licence for every user, and Business (up to 25 employees, 89 € per month or 890 € per year) with a UCA PDF Editor Pro licence for every user. The company admin's own seat is free and does not count. Larger companies get an individual offer. The plans are sold and billed by Dodo Payments as merchant of record (the seller of record and the issuer of the invoice); payment, taxes and refunds follow Dodo's terms. A plan is billed monthly or yearly in advance and renews for the same period. It can be cancelled at any time in the company panel (Plan > Invoices, payment method, cancel): a monthly plan then runs until the end of the paid month, a yearly plan until the end of the paid year. Upgrades, downgrades and a switch between monthly and yearly are prorated. The free trial of 14 days is offered once per company. When a plan ends, the apps stop receiving the company data and the included licence; the app itself stays free.

5b. Windows licences per user

A UCA PDF Editor Standard / Pro licence is perpetual and sold per user (Standard 49 €, Pro 69 € per user, one-time, net): the number of users is chosen at checkout, each user may use it on up to 2 devices, and 1 year of updates is included. The program keeps working after that year; further updates can be bought for 1 year at a time (Standard 12 €, Pro 17 € per user, net).

6. Availability and liability

The personal features work without our server. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health; otherwise only for breaches of essential obligations, limited to the foreseeable, typical damage. For the free app, liability for simple negligence is excluded as far as the law allows. Mandatory consumer law remains unaffected.

7. Changes, law

We may change these terms; the current version is on this page. German law applies, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence.
