Terms of Service
Welcome to Paperless Forms!
Our team is committed to providing you
with the easiest to use full-featured online form builder there is.
Please read these Terms carefully.
By signing up for any account with Paperless Forms, whether paid or the Free Forever plan,
you are agreeing to abide by these Terms. This is a legal agreement. First, let’s set out some
terms that will be used throughout these Terms of Service:
Definitions
Paperless Forms is an online form building service available at www.paperlessforms.com.
We will refer to that website as “Website” and to the Paperless Forms form building software
as the “Service” or “Paperless Forms”.
Paperless Forms allows you to design, create, publish, and use online forms (your “Forms”)
which you can share using many methods, including a URL link and HTML embed code; you
may also manage, store, and process the data gathered by completed forms “submissions”.
Each Paperless Forms account includes one admin license (“License”) which entitles one
individual (“User”) to access that account to build forms, edit forms, and access data from
completed forms. If you require additional Users for your account, you must purchase
additional licenses (“User Licenses”) at an additional monthly fee.
Paperless Forms has employees and highly specialized contractors, whom we call our
(“Team”).
Paperless Forms is owned and operated by Paperless Forms Inc, a Michigan C-corp
headquartered in Southfield, MI. (“Paperless Forms,” “we”, or “us”)
These Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy (“Terms”) define the terms and conditions
under which you’re allowed to use Paperless Forms. It also governs how we manage your
account while you are a User. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at support@paperlessforms.com

Term
The Term begins when you sign up for your Paperless Forms account, and it continues as
long as your account is active, regardless of whether you use the account. During signup,
you must explicitly consent to these terms and our Privacy Policy by clicking the agreement
checkbox and entering and submitting your name and email address.
You may close your account at any time, for any reason. When you close your account, your

on our servers, and it can’t be recovered.
We reserve the right to pause or delete your account, at any time, with or without cause. If
we close your account without cause, we may refund a prorated portion of your monthly
subscription fee. If we close your account with cause, including but not limited to violating
these Terms, we will not issue a refund.
If you have a Free Forever Account and don’t log in for 6 or more months, we may treat your
Account as “inactive” and permanently delete the Account and all the data associated with it.
Security
We appreciate your trust and take the security of our form building software and your data
seriously.
We work hard to keep your information safe and secure. Please do your part and protect
your account login name and password. You are responsible for any account that you have
access to. We will not take responsibility for any data losses or problems arising from
unauthorized use or stolen or hacked passwords.
If you feel like the security of your account has been compromised, please contact us
immediately at support@paperlessforms.com so we can take protective measures to
safeguard your information.
Our office is located in the United States. We have 2 dedicated servers in the US (Lansing,
Michigan and Phoenix, Arizona) and 1 in Europe (Amsterdam). These operate on a
redundancy system to ensure robust, reliable service with no downtime or lost data. Our
technology is ISO certified and compliant with top global standards for privacy and security,
including SSAE-16, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISAE 3402, and AMS-IX. While we take reasonable
and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, understand there are still risks
involved when using a digital software product.
If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our system that materially affects
the information in your account, we will notify you as soon as possible and later report the
action we took in response.
Account Access
You are responsible for securing account names, login emails and passwords. We will not
resolve disputes over which individuals in an organization have access to an account.
You may change your password at any time from the Edit Profile section when you are
logged in. If you don’t remember your password, you may reset it by clicking on Lost
Password in the login window. A reset link will be sent to the primary email address attached
to your account. If you can’t remember what email was used to create the account, please
contact us and we will do our best to help. However, we will not manually update the email
address or change profile information on an account.
Ownership
Each form you create using Paperless Forms is yours, meaning that we will not copy, sell, or
share your created forms with anyone.
We consider the data collected using your forms to be private, meaning we will not copy, sell,
or share the data you collect with any other party.
However, we assert the right to control content and access to our software. We reserve the
right to delete content and accounts if there is reason to suspect that laws are being broken, fraud is being committed, the content violates the rights of others, or these terms of service
have been violated. Additionally, we may disclose your personal information in these
circumstances:
- as required by law such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process
- when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights,
protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a
government request,
- if Paperless Forms, Inc is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion
of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of
any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any
choices you may have regarding your personal information,
- to any other third party with your prior consent to do so.
Payment
Fees for Paperless Forms is listed on our Pricing page and may change from time to time.
You will be notified ahead of time by email if there are any changes to our pricing structure.
Charges for your account level will be made each month on the credit card added to your
account. The billing cycle is monthly, on the day of your plan. For example, if you join a paid
plan on the 11th of the month, then your account will be charged on or around the 11th of
each month.
If you upgrade your plan during your billing cycle, the pro-rated additional cost for the
remainder of your billing cycle will be charged to your payment method immediately.
If you downgrade your plan during your billing cycle, a credit for the remainder of your billing
cycle will be credited to your account.
Refunds are not issued.
If your payment method is declined for any reason, you will be notified immediately. If an
updated payment method is not provided and a balance remains outstanding, your account
will be locked approximately 7 days after payment failure. For example, if your billing cycle is
on the 11th and payment fails, your account will be locked on or around the 18th. The
locking of your account does not constitute cancellation of your account and/or any
outstanding fees.
Each individual, business, or organization may only have one Free Forever account.
Plan Limits
See our Pricing page for details of plan limits on the number of forms, fields, and
submissions. These plan limits may change from time to time.
If your account exceeds the limits of your plan, it will affect your use of Paperless Forms.
This may include forms locking and not accepting new entries, not being able to create new
forms, or not being able to add more fields to a form.
If your use exceeds the limits of your plan, we recommend you upgrade your plan.
Changes and Updates
At our sole discretion, we may modify these Terms of Service at any time, for any reason,
including changes in technology, business practices, or legislation. We also reserve the right
to change our form building software, features, account levels, pricing, and anything else
relating to our Website and Service.
Any change which materially impacts your use of your Paperless Forms account will be sent
to you directly via email to the address on your account. Following notice of such changes,
your continued use of your Paperless Forms account, shall indicate your acknowledgement
of such changes and your agreement to be bound by the updated terms and conditions of
such changes.

Service.
