Cookies : A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer's hard drive that contains non-personal information. These cookies help to give you faster access to pages you have already visited. They also allow you to personalize your pages, and optimize your experience at our sites. We also use cookies to help us figure out how many people visit our sites, which of our web pages they visit, and how long they stay there. This information helps us figure out which of our web features are highly successful and which sites might need improvement. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but allow you to disable them. Disabling cookies may prevent you from properly using the Services or accessing the site.
Sessions : "Session IDs" allow us to identify a particular user across multiple web page requests. This Session ID is maintained within your cookie file, where possible. If cookies are not enabled, or if the user's internet browser program does not support cookies then PDF Drive will place the Session ID in the requested web page. This allows the end user to avoid having to continually re-enter certain information such as account name and password for every web page request. This Session ID expires whenever the user closes their internet browser.
Tracking : Many of our web pages also contain special electronic images (called a "single-pixel gif" or "gifs") that allow us to gather only non-personally identifiable traffic statistics and other aggregate information about visitors to our sites. PDF Drive (through itself or third parties) uses this technology to collect and accumulate anonymous data that helps us understand and analyze the experience of people visiting our web sites and, along with other information you provide, customize your future visits and improve our web sites. For example, we capture data on the type of browser used, operating system software (e.g. Windows 95 vs. 98 or Macintosh), cookie preferences (whether the user has them turned on or off), and search engine keywords (what key words did a visitor use to get to our site). We also record number of visits, paths taken, and time spent on sites and pages within PDF Drive's web sites. Please keep in mind that none of this information is personally identifiable and that we only distribute this information to internal staff at PDF Drive and to partners that have signed confidentiality agreements with us. Any information that we do share with partners reflects overall web site or Internet usage trends, not individual.
IP Address : Each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you. We also use your IP address to restrict the access of your account to broader users.
Storage : You understand and agree that PDF Drive stores and processes your information on computers located in Germany, and by providing any data to PDF Drive, you consent to the transfer of such information to Germany. When you a delete a file from your PDF Drive account, no link will remain between you and that file.

Your agreement to this TOS constitutes your agreement that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the PDF Drive Services in an authorized manner.
XVII. GENERAL INFORMATION
Entire Agreement. The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and PDF Drive and governs your use of the PDF Drive Services, superseding any prior version of this TOS between you and PDF Drive with respect to the PDF Drive Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other PDF Drive Services, affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software.
XVIII. CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM
You and PDF Drive each agree that the TOS and the relationship between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of the Republic of Seychelles, without regard to its conflict of law provisions and that any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) arising out of or relating to the TOS, or the relationship between you and PDF Drive, shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in the Republic of Seychelles. You and PDF Drive agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts mentioned above, and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of PDF Drive to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability. You agree that your PDF Drive account is non-transferable and any rights to your PDF Drive ID or contents within your account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate, your account may be terminated and all contents therein permanently deleted.
XIX. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action by you arising out of or related to use of the PDF Drive Services or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
