These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service, whether through the website, API, or any other means. By creating an account, uploading a file, or making a payment, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

MegaConvert.io is an online file conversion platform that allows users to convert files between various formats. The Service includes:

  • File Conversion — Convert documents, images, videos, audio files, ebooks, and other formats.
  • File Tools — Compress, merge, split, and manipulate files using our built-in tools.
  • REST API — Programmatic access to conversion and tool capabilities for eligible subscribers.

We continuously improve and expand the Service. Features may be added, modified, or removed at our discretion.

The free tier is provided on a “best effort” basis. We do not guarantee uptime, availability, or processing speed for free users.

10.2 Paid Services

For paying customers, we target 99.9% uptime on an annual basis. This does not constitute a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and no credits or compensation are offered for downtime.

We may perform scheduled or emergency maintenance that temporarily affects Service availability. Where possible, we will provide advance notice of planned maintenance.

11. API Terms

11.1 Eligibility

API access is available exclusively to users with an active 12-month subscription. API keys are issued through the account dashboard.

11.2 Rate Limits

API usage is subject to rate limits as documented in our API Documentation. Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary throttling or suspension of API access.

11.3 Fair Use

API access is intended for reasonable, legitimate use. Automated mass conversions that place excessive load on our infrastructure may be throttled or restricted. We reserve the right to define and enforce fair use limits.

11.4 API Key Security

You are responsible for keeping your API keys confidential. Do not embed API keys in client-side code or public repositories. Compromised keys should be revoked immediately through your dashboard.

12. Data Processing

We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
  • We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that conversion results will be accurate or complete.
  • In no event shall MegaConvert.io, its officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
  • Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MegaConvert.io and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with:

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for registered users, by sending an email notification.

Your continued use of the Service after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account.

16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and, where applicable, the laws of the European Union, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Germany. If you are a consumer residing in the EU, you retain any mandatory consumer protection rights afforded by the laws of your country of residence.
