epubwise terms of use

Use epubwise only for files you have the right to convert, don't abuse the free limits, and keep your original file: the converter is free and comes with no guarantees.

Last updated 9 November 2026.

  1. Agreement. These terms are an agreement between you and Ger Evangelista, who runs epubwise.com from the Philippines ("we", "us"). By using the site you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
  2. The service. epubwise is software that converts a file you upload, a PDF or an ebook, into another format you can download. It runs automatically; nobody edits or checks the result by hand. There is no account, and it is free within the limits on the pricing page; a pass raises those limits.
  3. Passes. A pass is a single payment for the higher limits shown on the pricing page, for 7, 30 or 365 days counted from the first file you convert with it. It must be started within a year of buying it. It never renews and nothing more is charged. A pass is for you: its key may be used in up to 3 of your own browsers, not shared or resold, and fair use is 50 files a day. Passes are sold by Polar as merchant of record, whose checkout terms also apply to the purchase; the price at checkout shows any sales tax or VAT. Refunds: within 7 days of buying, if you haven't used the pass, or if a paid conversion failed and we couldn't put it right, email us for a full refund. A refunded or charged-back pass stops working. If we close epubwise while your pass is running, you get the unused part of the price back.
  4. Who can use it. You must be at least 13, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live (or have a parent or guardian agree for you).
  5. Your files stay yours. You keep every right you have in what you upload and in the file made from it. You give us permission to store and process each file only as long as needed to convert it and let you download the result. Files are handled as the privacy policy describes.
  6. Your responsibility. Upload only files you own or have permission to convert, and use the result only in ways the law and the file's rights holder allow. Converting a book for your own reading is a common lawful use, but the rules differ by country and you are responsible for following yours. The copyright policy explains how reports of misuse are handled.
  7. Not allowed. You may not use epubwise to:
    • upload anything illegal, including material that sexually exploits children, which will be reported to the authorities;
    • infringe copyright or remove DRM, passwords or other copy protection (the converter won't do it anyway);
    • upload malware or files designed to attack or crash the converter;
    • get around the daily limits or the abuse checks, for example by rotating addresses, or send automated or bulk requests without written permission;
    • share, publish or resell a pass key;
    • resell, rebrand or put the service behind your own site or app;
    • use the service or its output to train AI models, or copy it to build a competing converter;
    • overload, probe or interfere with the servers.
  8. Limits and blocking. We may refuse a file, slow requests, block access that seems abusive, or change the free limits at any time, without notice where needed to protect the service. A pass keeps the limits it was sold with until it ends.
  9. Changes to the service. We may change, pause or close epubwise, or any feature of it, at any time. A pass's price and what it includes are shown before you buy.
  10. No warranty. The service is provided "as is" and "as available". Automatic conversion can misread text, drop images, or get the reading order wrong, and the site may be unavailable at times. To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy. Always keep your original file.
  11. Limit of liability. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost data, profits or time, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 50 US dollars.
  12. Your promise to us. If someone makes a claim against us because of a file you uploaded or how you used the service in breach of these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it.
  13. Our software. The software that runs epubwise, including the conversion engine, and the epubwise name and logo belong to us. You may use the service as offered here, but not copy, reverse engineer or resell it. You are welcome to test it by hand and publish honest comparisons of the results. Copies of earlier versions that were released under the GNU Affero General Public License stay under that licence.
  14. Your rights as a consumer. Nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer laws of your country that can't be waived by agreement.
  15. Law and disputes. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Before taking any formal step, please email us so we can try to settle the problem. Otherwise disputes go to the courts of Batangas, Philippines, unless the law of your country gives you the right to bring them where you live.
  16. Changes to these terms. We may update these terms. The current version is always on this page with its date, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new version. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
