Terms of Use & End User License Agreement

Effective Date: April 19, 2026 · Last Updated: April 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using ParsleyPDF, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (collectively, "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the application.

You must be at least 13 years old to use ParsleyPDF. By using the app, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are between 13 and 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

ParsleyPDF is a mobile application for iOS that uses artificial intelligence to help you understand PDF documents. Features include:

  • AI Chat — ask questions about your documents and receive AI-generated answers with page citations
  • Document Summaries — automatically generated overviews of your PDF content
  • Quizzes — AI-generated multiple-choice questions to test your understanding
  • Multi-Document Chat (Pro) — chat across multiple documents simultaneously
  • Ephemeral Mode — process documents without saving them to your library

All documents are stored locally on your device. AI features process document text ephemerally through our servers — no data is retained.

3. Account & Authentication

ParsleyPDF uses anonymous authentication via Firebase Authentication. When you first open the app, an anonymous session is created automatically. You do not need to create an account, provide an email address, or set a password.

Your anonymous session: - Is tied to your device installation - Expires after 90 days of inactivity - Cannot be recovered if lost (e.g., after a device reset)

4. Subscription Terms

4.1 Free Tier

ParsleyPDF offers a free tier with the following limits:

Feature Free Limit
PDF imports 3 (lifetime)
Pages per PDF 10
Questions per document 3
Characters per message 500
Quiz generations 1
Multi-document chat Not available
AI requests per day 20 (resets at midnight UTC)

Free tier limits are tracked locally and on our servers. Lifetime limits persist across app reinstalls.

4.2 ParsleyPDF Pro

ParsleyPDF Pro removes all free tier limits and unlocks additional features:

  • Unlimited PDF imports
  • Up to 500 pages per PDF
  • Unlimited questions per document
  • No character limit on messages
  • Unlimited quiz generations
  • Multi-document chat (up to 5 documents)
  • Daily AI request allowance (see Section 4.3 for tier-specific caps and Section 4.6 for fair-use details)

4.3 Pricing, Plans & Billing

ParsleyPDF Pro is offered in two auto-renewing plans. Both plans share the same feature set; they differ only in billing period, daily AI request cap, and whether a free trial is included.

Plan Price Free Trial Daily AI Requests
Monthly $6.99/month 7 days free for first-time subscribers (Apple Introductory Offer) 100/day
Weekly $3.99/week No trial — billing begins immediately 50/day

Daily AI request caps apply across chat, document summaries, and quizzes combined, and reset at midnight UTC.

Monthly Plan Free Trial

New subscribers to the Monthly plan receive a 7-day free trial through Apple's Introductory Offer program:

  • The trial begins immediately when you start a Monthly Pro subscription
  • You will not be charged during the trial period
  • You may cancel any time during the trial to avoid any charge
  • If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription converts automatically to the Monthly rate ($6.99/month)
  • The free trial is available once per Apple ID
  • You will receive an in-app notification approximately 24 hours before the trial converts to a paid subscription

The Weekly plan does not include a free trial. Billing begins immediately upon subscription confirmation.

Billing

Subscriptions are billed through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the end of the free trial (if applicable) or at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

Switching Between Plans

You may switch between the Monthly and Weekly plans at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings. Per Apple's rules: - Upgrading from Weekly to Monthly takes effect immediately with prorated billing. - Downgrading from Monthly to Weekly takes effect at the end of the current Monthly billing period.

ParsleyPDF Team is enrolled in Apple's Small Business Program. Apple's commission on your subscription is 15% after the first year of continuous subscription.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time:

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone
  2. Tap your Apple ID > Subscriptions
  3. Select ParsleyPDF Pro and tap Cancel Subscription

Or use the "Manage Subscription" link in ParsleyPDF's Settings tab.

After cancellation, you retain Pro access until the end of your current billing period. You will then revert to the free tier. Your existing documents and data remain on your device.

4.5 Refunds

All refund requests are handled by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. ParsleyPDF Team cannot process refunds directly.

4.6 Fair Use & Rate Limiting

ParsleyPDF Pro provides generous AI usage limits intended for normal individual study and research use. To protect service quality for all users, preserve sustainable unit economics, and prevent abuse, we apply the following fair-use measures:

  • Daily limits: AI requests are capped at 100 per day for Pro Monthly subscribers, 50 per day for Pro Weekly subscribers, and 20 per day for free users. Limits reset at midnight UTC. When you reach your daily limit, additional AI requests will be unavailable until the reset.
  • Brief automatic throttling: If your hourly usage pattern suggests automated or unusually high-volume use (approximately 30+ AI requests in a single hour), brief automatic delays (3–8 seconds) may be introduced before subsequent AI requests. These delays are transparent and do not affect the quality of the AI response. The vast majority of users will never encounter them.
  • Reserved rights: We reserve the right to adjust fair-use thresholds over time as needed to ensure service sustainability. Existing Pro subscribers will be notified of any material changes via in-app notice.

ParsleyPDF is intended for personal study and research. Using the service to power external tools, generate content at industrial scale, run automated scripts or bots, or intentionally circumvent these limits is a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy (Section 7) and may result in suspension of access.

Rate limiting is not punishment — it is how we keep Pro affordable. Your subscription covers a generous daily allowance. These measures exist to protect everyone's access.
