Terms of use

Plain and short: a free suite, your documents stay on your device, and a few fair rules.

Agreement

These terms apply when you use Scissor Office at office.scissor.studio, including its website, the app and the Google Drive features. Scissor Office is provided by , see the imprint. By using it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

The service

Scissor Office lets you write, open and save documents in your browser. Parts of it are an early preview, and parts are still in development, as the site says. There is no account, no subscription and no fee. Your documents are processed on your own device and are not uploaded to our servers. We may add, change or remove features at any time, and we may stop offering the service.

Your documents

You are responsible for the documents you create or open with Scissor Office and must have the right to use them. Your drafts are kept only in your browser on your device: we cannot recover a document that was deleted, lost when browser data was cleared, or lost on a device. Export copies of anything important and keep your originals until you have checked a result. When you save to Google Drive, the file is stored in your own Drive under Google's terms.

Acceptable use

Do not use Scissor Office to break the law, to infringe anyone's rights, to harass, deceive or harm people, or to interfere with the site or its servers, for example by overloading them, trying to get around their security, or sending spam or abusive content through its forms.

Our site

The site, its design, code, text and the Scissor names and logos belong to the provider. You may use the app for personal and commercial work, but you may not copy, resell or republish the site or its code. The third-party components and fonts it uses remain under their own licenses, listed on the licenses page.

Other companies' names

Names of other products and file formats, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Apple Pages, Numbers and Keynote, LibreOffice and Google Docs, are trademarks of their owners. They are mentioned only to describe which files Scissor Office can open and save. Scissor Office is not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.

No warranty

Scissor Office is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted availability. Office file formats are complex: not every file opens completely, and a saved file may look different in other software. Check your documents before you rely on them. This does not affect liability under the paragraph below or mandatory law.

Liability

Scissor Office is free. We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act, and where we have given a guarantee. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one that makes using the service possible and on which you may rely), limited to typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise, liability is excluded. Please keep your own copies of your documents.

Privacy and feedback

How we handle the little information we receive is explained in the privacy policy. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely to improve Scissor Office.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If you keep using Scissor Office after a change, the updated terms apply.

Applicable law
