Papyrion: PDF Scanner & OCR
Last updated: 29 September 2026 · Version 1.1
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your use of the Papyrion: PDF Scanner & OCR mobile application (the “App”). By downloading, accessing, or using the App you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. You must be old enough to form a binding contract and to use the App under the app store’s rules and the law where you live.
The App is provided by auronet GmbH, Labbéstr. 18, 41169 Mönchengladbach, Germany (“we”, “us”). Contact: info@auronet.de. Managing Director: Michael Mücke, Register no. HRB 14722, Register Court Mönchengladbach, VAT ID DE815328139
The App turns paper pages into digital documents on your device: it scans pages with the system document camera or imports pictures and files, lets you reorder, re-crop, rotate and filter them, and exports searchable PDFs as well as JPEG images and text files — with full-text search across your library. All processing happens on your device — there is no account and no backend. If you choose, the App can also upload your documents to your own ownCloud or OpenCloud server (see §5).
Free: scanning and importing, filters, standard-quality PDF/JPEG export, and the document library. Paid: on-device text recognition (OCR), full-text search, folders, high-resolution export, naming templates, the app lock, and automatic upload to your own ownCloud / OpenCloud server, via a one-time in-app purchase — not a subscription.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your own lawful, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the app store’s terms. You agree not to: copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or resell the App; remove, obscure, or circumvent any purchase check; use the App in any unlawful way, including scanning documents you have no right to copy or forging, falsifying, or impersonating documents or identities; infringe others’ rights; interfere with the App’s security or operation; or attempt to access it other than through the interface we provide.
Your scans and recognised text are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us. You keep all rights to them, and you are responsible for having the right to scan the pages in question and for keeping your own copies and backups. Exports are saved or shared where you choose; uninstalling the App removes only the files it holds, not the exports you saved or shared elsewhere.
Upload to your own server (optional, Pro). If you connect an ownCloud or OpenCloud server, the App sends your documents directly from your device to that server; we do not operate, access, or control it. You are responsible for having the right to use that server and the account and app token you enter, for keeping them secure, and for complying with the server operator’s terms. The upload is a convenience, not a backup service: it runs while the App is open and a connection is available, it may be delayed or fail (for example if the server is unreachable, full, or rejects the token), and only documents saved while the feature is on — or ones you queue explicitly — are sent. Later edits or renames in the App are not re-uploaded, and deleting a document in the App or disconnecting the server does not delete copies already on the server. Check that your documents have arrived before relying on them there.
Text recognition and the Pro features listed in §3 require a one-time in-app purchase (Papyrion Pro). There is no subscription and no automatic renewal.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase. The price (currently €9.99) is shown in the App before you buy, in your local currency, and may change with notice. You can restore a previous Pro purchase on a new device via Restore Purchases on the paywall. If the unlock lapses (e.g. after a refund), the Pro features hide again but your stored documents and recognised text are kept. Refunds are handled by the app store under its policies — contact Apple or Google, not us, for refund requests. Consumer withdrawal rights that apply where you live are unaffected; note that because the unlock immediately starts recognising your library on-device, you may lose a statutory withdrawal right for that digital content.
Text recognition is a best-effort machine reading of your pages. It can misread characters — particularly handwriting, very small print, glare, shadows, creases, or damaged originals — and the invisible text layer of a PDF can only ever reflect what was recognised. A recognised amount, date, or name is not a certified transcription. Always verify important details against the original page before you rely on them — for example before paying a bill, filing a return, or submitting a document to an authority — and keep the original. We are not responsible for costs or consequences arising from reliance on recognised text.
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results or content will be accurate or reliable. You use the App at your own risk, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Mandatory statutory warranty rights for digital content, where they apply to you as a consumer, are unaffected.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or any loss arising from your reliance on the App or its output. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, intent, gross negligence, or fraud). Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim.
We may change the App or these Terms. If we make material changes to the Terms we will update the date above and make the new version available in the App and at this address. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or misuse the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live. This does not affect Apple’s or Google’s own end-user licence terms, which also apply.
Questions about these Terms: info@auronet.de. If text recognition, export or the upload to your server misbehaves, tell us at papyrion@auronet.de what went wrong (without sending the document itself unless we ask for a redacted sample).
