PDF Scanner App: OCR & Search — Terms of use

Effective date: 2026-09-29

PDF Scanner App: OCR & Search (shown on your Home Screen as PDF Scanner) is made by KLM Labs. These terms are the agreement between you and KLM Labs when you use the app. Please also read the Privacy Policy, which explains what is kept on your device and what the app collects.

Apple's standard licence applies

The app is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"), in addition to these terms. Where the two conflict on a point Apple's licence covers, Apple's licence governs. Purchases in the App Store are also subject to Apple's own terms.

What you may do with the app

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own work or personal use. The scans and files you make with it are yours.

You may not resell, rent or redistribute the app itself, or try to get around its purchase checks. Only scan and share documents you have the right to copy.

Plans, free trial and payment

Every feature of the app needs an active plan or free trial. There are two plans:

Yearly: an auto-renewing subscription, one year at a time. In the United States it costs US$19.99 a year.
Lifetime: a one-time purchase with nothing to renew. In the United States it costs US$39.99.

Neither plan includes Family Sharing. The price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase. Prices in other countries are set through the App Store in local currency, may include local taxes, and are the ones shown to you at purchase.

Free trial. The Yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Apple decides eligibility; generally, one trial per Apple Account for this app's subscription. When the trial ends, the Yearly subscription starts and you are charged unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you allow notifications, the app can remind you 2 days before the trial ends.

Payment and automatic renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm a purchase, or when a free trial ends. The Yearly subscription renews automatically each year at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. If a price changes, Apple tells you in advance and asks for your agreement where its rules require it. If a renewal payment fails, Apple retries it, and you keep access for up to 16 days while it does.

Cancelling. Cancel in your Apple Account, not by deleting the app:

On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose the app and tap Cancel Subscription.
Or, in the app, open Settings → Manage Subscription.

Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Switching to Lifetime does not cancel the Yearly subscription; cancel the Yearly plan yourself so it does not renew.

Restoring. Plans belong to the Apple Account that bought them; the app has no account of its own. On a new iPhone or after reinstalling, sign in with the same Apple Account and tap Restore on the plans screen, or Settings → Restore Purchases.

Refunds. Apple handles all payments, so KLM Labs cannot charge or refund your account directly. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. Refunds follow Apple's policies and the law where you live.

When a plan ends. When a subscription or trial ends, or a purchase is refunded, the app shows the plans screen and nothing else until you subscribe, buy Lifetime or restore an active plan. Your documents are still on your iPhone, untouched, and open again when you do.

Changes to plans. We may change plans, prices or trial offers for new purchases. Changes for existing subscribers are made through Apple under its rules and notices.

Check the text

Text recognition reads each page on your iPhone and can misread words, especially on faint, handwritten, skewed or low-quality pages. Search can miss a word the recognition misread. Check the recognized text, and the scan itself, before you rely on them. The app is not a legal, tax or records-keeping service.

Your documents

Your documents are stored in the app on your device. We do not hold a copy, so we cannot recover them if your device is lost or reset or the app is deleted, except from your own iPhone backup. Keep your own copies of anything important, for example with Save to Files.

A password you add to a shared PDF only asks for that password in other PDF apps. Keep it somewhere safe: we do not store it and cannot recover it.

Changes to the app and these terms

We may update the app, change or remove features, or stop offering it. We may update these terms; the effective date above shows the latest change, and using the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.

No warranty, and the limit of our liability

The app is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, without errors or fit for a particular purpose, and we exclude implied warranties.

To the extent the law allows, KLM Labs is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits, a misread word, or loss of data. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here removes rights you have under consumer law where you live, including any statutory right to a refund or remedy. If a term conflicts with such a right, that right wins.
