Last Modified: June 26, 2025

Welcome to RunConvert, operated by RunConvert Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 76 Healy Road, Victoria, Australia ('we', 'us', or 'RunConvert'). By accessing or using our file conversion services at runconvert.com (the 'Site'), including our web interface, API, or mobile apps (collectively, the 'Service'), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (this 'Agreement'). If you accept on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity. RunConvert and you (the 'Customer') are referred to as the 'Parties' or individually as a 'Party'.

This Agreement governs your use of the Service, including file conversions, account management, and API interactions. We may update this Agreement, with changes posted here and effective upon your continued use. If you disagree, please discontinue use and contact us at [email protected].

2. Access and Use

2.1 Provision of Access: Subject to compliance with this Agreement, RunConvert grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the Service during the Subscription Period for internal purposes, such as converting files for personal or business projects. Access is limited to Authorized Users and features in your Order. We provide access credentials as needed.
