Disclaimer

1. General Disclaimer

CatchDiff ("the Software", "the Service") is provided by CatchDiff ("we", "us") as a utility tool to assist users in identifying textual differences between two PDF documents. The Software is provided "as is" and "as available" without any representations, warranties, or guarantees of any kind, either express or implied.

We expressly disclaim all warranties including but not limited to: merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

2. Limitations of Comparison Technology

CatchDiff extracts and compares text content only. The following categories of changes will not be detected:

• Image-embedded content — text, data, or changes contained within images, photographs, charts, diagrams, illustrations, or graphics embedded in a PDF
• Scanned documents (image-based PDFs) — PDFs created by scanning physical documents without embedded text layer. CatchDiff does not perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
• Formatting changes — font type, size, weight, color, text alignment, margins, or layout changes where the underlying text is unchanged
• Visual-only changes — watermarks, stamps, signatures (image-based), highlights, or redactions applied as image overlays
• Metadata changes — PDF document metadata, author fields, creation dates, or hidden document properties
• Complex structured content — content in tables, multi-column layouts, or non-linear text flows may be extracted out of order or incompletely
• Digital signatures — the presence, validity, or changes to digital signature fields are not assessed
• Tracked changes in source documents — if the PDF was exported from a Word document with hidden tracked changes, those hidden changes may not be reflected

3. Not Professional or Legal Advice

CatchDiff results do not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, compliance certification, or any other form of professional advice or opinion.

If you are using CatchDiff to review contracts, legal agreements, regulatory filings, medical documents, financial statements, or any other important documents, you must have those documents reviewed by a qualified professional (lawyer, accountant, doctor, compliance officer, etc.) before taking any action. CatchDiff is a starting point, not a final determination.

4. User Responsibility

By using CatchDiff, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You have read and understood this disclaimer in full
• You will independently verify all comparison results before relying on them
• You will not use CatchDiff results as the sole basis for legal, financial, contractual, medical, or regulatory decisions
• You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your review, not CatchDiff
• You have the legal right to upload and compare the documents you submit
• You will seek qualified professional advice where required

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CatchDiff and its operators shall not be liable for:

• Any loss, damage, or harm arising from reliance on comparison results
• Any missed, incorrect, or incomplete detection of changes between documents
• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, contracts, business, revenue, or data arising from use or inability to use the Service
• Decisions made based on CatchDiff output in legal, financial, medical, or any other proceedings

Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to CatchDiff in the 12 months preceding the claim, or USD $10, whichever is greater.

6. Desktop Software

The CatchDiff desktop application applies all of the same limitations described in this disclaimer. All PDF comparison is performed locally on your device. The desktop app does not send document content to any server. The same text-extraction limitations apply: scanned PDFs, image-embedded content, and formatting changes will not be detected.

7. Third-Party Documents

CatchDiff does not take any responsibility for the content, accuracy, legality, or authenticity of documents submitted for comparison. Documents submitted are processed solely to produce a textual diff and are immediately deleted after processing.

8. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the version number and date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
