Terms and Conditions for FileLite
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Welcome to FileLite. By using our website and services, you agree to comply with the following terms.
1. Overview
FileLite is an image compression and conversion tool designed for web developers, editors, designers, and other creators who work with visuals. Users can purchase a lifetime license to access all features of FileLite.
Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a license and use FileLite. By using our service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract.
2. Accounts
To use FileLite, you must provide accurate information, including your email address and payment information. By purchasing a license, you agree to pay the applicable fees for lifetime access.
3. License Purchase
FileLite is available for purchase as a one-time payment for lifetime access. Once you purchase a license, you receive access to all current features and all future updates included at no additional cost.
License Scope: Each license is tied to your account and allows you to use FileLite on your personal devices. You may install and use FileLite on multiple devices that you own and control, as long as you are the primary user of those devices.
Commercial Use: Your license allows you to use FileLite for both personal and commercial purposes. You may use FileLite to process images for your business, clients, or projects.
License Transfer: Licenses are non-transferable and tied to your account. If you need to change devices, you can re-authenticate on your new device using your account credentials.
4. Data Collection
Minimal Data Collection: FileLite only collects and stores the absolute minimum data required to issue authentication tokens and manage your account. This includes your email address when you create an account or purchase a license. This data is used solely for account authentication and license verification - it is not used for any other purpose, including analytics, marketing, or tracking.
No Image Data: FileLite does not collect, store, or transmit your images. All image processing happens locally on your device. We have no access to your images, compression statistics, usage patterns, or any other application activity.
Fully Private: Your data is stored only to issue tokens and verify your license. We do not analyze, track, or use your data for any other purpose. Your privacy is our priority. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
5. Local Processing and Privacy
Local Processing: FileLite processes all images entirely on your device. Your images never leave your computer and are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties. This ensures complete privacy and security of your files.
Privacy-Friendly Analytics: Our website uses Umami Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect any personal data. Umami respects Do Not Track settings and all analytics data is fully anonymous. The desktop application operates entirely offline after installation, and all image processing is performed locally.
Data Security: Since all processing happens locally, your images are protected by your device's security measures. You are solely responsible for backing up your files and ensuring their security.
6. Use of Service
You may use FileLite to compress and convert images for personal or commercial purposes. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to process any images you use with FileLite.
You agree not to use FileLite for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, or in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the service or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
7. Payment and Refunds
Payment Processing: License purchases are processed securely through Stripe. Your payment information is handled by Stripe in accordance with their privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy. We do not store or have access to your payment card details.
Refund Policy: All license purchases are final. Due to the nature of our digital services, we do not offer refunds for FileLite licenses once a purchase has been completed and access to our platform has been granted. This policy is in place because digital services cannot be "returned" in the traditional sense, and once accessed, the service benefits cannot be retrieved.
For complete details about our refund policy, including information about support and assistance, please refer to our Refund Policy page.
By purchasing a license, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to our no-refunds policy.
8. Intellectual Property
FileLite and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by FileLite and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The license you purchase grants you the right to use FileLite but does not transfer ownership of the software.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
FileLite is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. You use FileLite at your own risk.
10. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall FileLite be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the service. Since all processing happens locally on your device, FileLite is not responsible for any data loss or corruption that may occur.
11. Updates to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. You will be notified of any changes via email or through the application. Continued use of FileLite after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
