Last updated: April 22, 2024

Key Changes to the Terms of Service

At Readdle, we care about our users, and therefore, we have improved our Terms of Service governing your use of the Scanner Pro App.

In a nutshell, we:

  • detailed provisions on special offers;
  • clarified the terms of providing you with notice about changes in the subscription to the Scanner Pro App;
  • introduced provisions on the paid-for features;
  • refined the text to enhance readability and clarity.

We encourage you to carefully review the full text of the Terms of Service for Scanner Pro. The abovementioned updates shall become effective as of the date of their publication on our website.

If you continue using the Scanner Pro App, you automatically agree to the updated version of the document.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms of Service for Scanner Pro, you must cancel your subscription, delete the Scanner Pro App, and neither access nor use the Scanner Pro App.

  • you have read, understand, and have the legal capacity to, and with this agree to be legally bound by and to comply with these Terms in full;
  • you are 16 years of age or older (otherwise, you can use the App exclusively under the supervision of a parent or guardian) regardless of the age ratings assigned on the App Store;

  • You can purchase a subscription through the App Store. 
  • The subscription will automatically renew for the next subscription period. 
  • You can cancel the subscription or request a refund through the App Store.

The App is available for free download on the iOS and iPadOS platforms in the App Store. Please note, that the scope of functionality of the App may differ for different platforms.

Upon installing the App, please provide your email address to get the best experience of Scanner Pro.

Basic Plan

By installing the App, you acquire a free-of-charge right to use the App with a limited set of features, enabling users to create high-quality scans, organise, and share them easily.

Free Trial and Special Offers

You can explore the additional features available under the Scanner Pro Plus and/or Expense Report subscription plans during a free trial subject to the then-current terms of the free trial offer displayed in the App. Expense Report trial is limited to 5 receipts.

Within special promotional campaigns, Readdle reserves the right to offer special terms for the free trial or free use of a subscription plan for a specific period to certain users. The terms and conditions and duration of such offerings shall be defined in a separate promotion description and/or in the App.

Please note that when your free trial or the period of the free-of-charge use of a subscription plan expires, the subscription fee for the use of the relevant subscription plan will be automatically charged unless you cancel it in your device settings at least 24 hours before the billing date.

Scanner Pro Plus

The Scanner Pro Plus subscription plan is universal across the available platforms and provides a set of features available in the then-current version of the subscription plan depending on the platform, including:

  • watermark-free scans;
  • auto-upload of scans to the connected cloud;
  • smart workflows to save time;
  • text vision to turn scans into text;
  • full-text search;
  • password protection for the App and shared PDF files;
  • other features available in the then-current version of Scanner Pro.

To get access to the additional scope of features of the App, you must purchase a yearly Scanner Pro Plus subscription plan (or a monthly plan as we may occasionally offer), subject to the then-current subscription fee (including VAT, if applicable) shown in the App.

Expense Report

The Expense Report subscription plan provides you with features for creating expense reports automatically.

After the free trial expires, you can create expense reports based on up to fifty (50) scanned and recognised receipts per month of the subscription. Please note the unused receipts are not carried forward to the following monthly subscription period.

To use the Expense Report features, you must purchase a monthly subscription to the Expense Report subscription plan, subject to the then-current subscription fee (including VAT, if applicable) shown in the App.

Paid-For Features

We may provide you with certain additional features (for example, sending faxes through the App) subject to the one-time fee shown in the App. 

Changes in Subscriptions or Paid-For Features

We reserve the right to change the subscription plans and the list of paid-for features at any time. Should these changes significantly impact your use of the App, we will ensure you receive adequate notice.

Payment Terms

Your payments are processed via the App Store. 

Please note if you pay in a currency that is different from the currency in which the fees are quoted, your bank will apply its current exchange rate and/or add commissions and fees on top of our subscription fees.

We reserve the right to revise the subscription fees and paid-for features fee at any time. We shall provide you with adequate notice of any subscription fee changes before they become effective. If you do not agree to pay the updated subscription fees, you can cancel your subscription, and after your current subscription period expires, you can continue using the App’s free-of-charge features only. If you do not cancel your subscription before the effective date of the fee change, you will be deemed to have agreed to the updated fee, which will be charged commencing your next subscription period.

Readdle may offer special terms and promotions for certain users. The conditions and duration of such offerings shall be described in the promotion description in the App.

Renewal and Cancellation

Your subscription will automatically renew, and you will be charged a subscription fee for the subsequent subscription period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the billing date in your device settings.

To do so in the iOS or iPadOS version, take the following steps:

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad

⇓

Tap your name at the top

⇓ 

Tap Subscriptions

⇓ 

Select Scanner Pro

⇓

Refunds

    Except as expressly provided elsewhere in these Terms, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland, excluding its conflict of law rules. 

    If any content within the App, including User Content, or your use of the App, violates the laws of the location where you access it, you are not the intended user, and we request that you do not use the App. You are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws of your jurisdiction.

    Except where prohibited by applicable law, and without limiting any statutory rights of consumers, you agree to resolve any dispute, conflict, claim, or controversy arising directly or indirectly from or related to the App or these Terms, including any issues concerning their validity, interpretation, or enforceability, through amicable negotiations with the Readdle team, adhering to the principles of good faith and cooperation.

    If a consensus cannot be reached through negotiations, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the national courts of the Republic of Ireland, which will have jurisdiction over the matter, and the substantive laws of the Republic of Ireland will apply.

    You may also seek to resolve the dispute out of court through an alternative dispute resolution process and can submit your complaint online through the online dispute resolution (ODR) platform.

    All claims must be filed within one year after the claim arises unless applicable law mandates a longer period.

    Miscellaneous

    We reserve the right to transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party; however, this will not impact your rights or our obligations. 

    We also reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. Should there be material changes that affect your use of the App, we will provide advance notice by emailing you or posting the changes on the Website or within the App.
