You represent and warrant that your use of the Software will comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.

3. Installation, Software Functions, and Browser Settings

By starting the setup process, you expressly authorize the Company to install the Software and any supporting background files required for operation. As part of setup, and only subject to your explicit consent, the Software may propose changes to certain browser configurations to enable or integrate a Company-selected search experience, including (without limitation) the default search provider, homepage, and/or new-tab page settings. By continuing with the installation, you provide explicit consent to these changes.

In addition, the Software may function as a default tool for file processing and may incorporate search functionality provided by third-party providers.

You may remove the Software at any time. If you uninstall it, your prior browser settings generally will not be automatically reinstated; however, you can change them manually at any time through your browser’s settings or preferences.

By proceeding with installation, you acknowledge and agree that the Software may be configured as your default file conversion utility and that it may include search functionality powered by third-party search providers, all in accordance with these Terms.

4. PDF Conversion and Merge Features

HippoDocs includes tools that allow users to convert supported files into PDF format and merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF document.

Supported conversion types may include Word documents (.doc, .docx), Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx), and image files such as JPG and PNG into PDF format. Available features may vary depending on your device, operating system, installed software, file type, and product version.

Certain file conversions, including Word and Excel conversions, may require Microsoft Office to be installed on your device. If Microsoft Office is not installed or is not available, some conversion features may not work properly or may be unavailable.

HippoDocs does not guarantee that converted files will preserve the exact formatting, layout, fonts, images, tables, formulas, or other document elements from the original file. Users are responsible for reviewing converted files before using, sharing, or relying on them.
