Terms and conditions

Last updated: July 2026

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and BentoPDF ("BentoPDF", "we", "us"), the developer and publisher of the BentoPDF desktop application. They govern your download, installation and use of the BentoPDF desktop application (the "Software") and your use of the website at desktop.bentopdf.com (the "Site"). By installing or using the Software, or by using the Site, you agree to these Terms.

2. License grant

The Software is licensed, not sold. Subject to these Terms and payment of the applicable fee, we grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on one (1) computer that you own or control, for personal or internal business purposes.

The free trial grants the same rights, limited to seven (7) days from first launch, at no charge and without an account.

3. Activation and device transfers

A purchased license key activates one computer. Activation requires a one-time internet connection, during which a device identifier is registered against your key; afterwards the Software verifies your license locally and operates offline. You may move your license to a different computer at any time by deactivating the existing installation and activating the new one.

4. Purchases, taxes and delivery

Purchases are processed by our merchant of record, Polar Software Inc. ("Polar"), which acts as the seller of record for the transaction and handles payment processing, invoicing and applicable sales taxes or VAT. Your license key is delivered by email after successful checkout. Prices are shown at checkout and may change; changes do not affect licenses already purchased.

5. All sales are final

All purchases are final. Once a license has been purchased, no refund will be given under any circumstances. The free seven (7) day trial unlocks every feature precisely so that you can fully evaluate BentoPDF on your own computer before buying; please use the trial to confirm the Software meets your needs prior to purchase. By completing a purchase you acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy.

6. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit anyone else to:

  • copy, redistribute, resell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise make the Software available to third parties;
  • circumvent, disable or tamper with the trial, licensing or activation mechanisms;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent such acts are expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction;
  • remove or alter proprietary notices in or on the Software;
  • use the Software in violation of applicable law.

7. Updates and support

We may release updates, fixes and improvements to the Software at our discretion. Support is provided by email on a reasonable-efforts basis. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will be maintained in future versions.

8. Intellectual property

The Software, the Site and all associated intellectual property rights are and remain the property of BentoPDF and its licensors. The Software includes third-party software components used under their respective licenses. These Terms grant you no rights other than the license expressly set out in Section 2.

9. Your documents

You retain all rights to the documents you open or create with the Software. The Software processes documents entirely on your computer; we do not receive, store or claim any rights over your documents.

10. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Your license terminates automatically if you materially breach these Terms, including Section 6. Upon termination you must stop using the Software and delete all copies. Sections 8, 11, 12 and 14 survive termination.

11. Disclaimer of warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software and the Site are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will meet your requirements. Always keep backup copies of important documents.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any damages or payment of any kind arising out of or related to these Terms, the Software or the Site. This includes, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary and punitive damages, loss of profits, revenue, business, data, documents or goodwill, and the cost of substitute software or services, in each case even if advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the theory of liability. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with the Software is to stop using it. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability under these Terms is zero.

13. Consumer rights

If you are a consumer, you may benefit from mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of India will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be announced on the Site. Continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale or transfer of the BentoPDF product or business. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersede prior agreements on that subject.
