Terms of Service

Last updated: 10 March 2026

These terms govern your use of PageListener, operated by Coiron Ltd (SC504810). By using the service, you agree to these terms.

The service

PageListener converts PDF documents into audio using text-to-speech technology. You upload a PDF, we extract the text, generate audio, and let you listen. You can save documents to your library, resume playback, and share listen links with others.

Accounts

You can use PageListener without an account to upload and listen. Creating a free account lets you save up to 3 documents in your library and resume where you left off. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. One account per person.

Free and Plus tiers

The free tier includes uploading PDFs, listening to audio, and saving up to 3 documents in your library. PageListener Plus is a paid subscription that offers unlimited library storage and additional features. Plus pricing, features, and terms are displayed at the point of purchase.

Plus subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe. You can cancel at any time through your account settings. When you cancel, you retain Plus access until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier. Your library items beyond the free tier limit will remain in your account but may not be accessible until you re-subscribe.

What you can upload

You may upload PDFs that you have the right to use for personal listening. This includes documents you own, documents shared with you for educational or professional purposes, and publicly available documents. You must not upload documents that contain illegal content, malware, or content you do not have permission to use.

We do not monitor the content of your uploads. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use any document you upload.

Sensitive and confidential documents

PageListener is designed for educational, professional, and personal reading material such as textbooks, articles, reports, and lecture notes. It is not designed for sensitive or confidential documents.

You must not upload documents containing financial information (such as bank statements, tax returns, payslips, or investment records), medical or health records, legal privileged material, government-issued identity documents, passwords or security credentials, or any document you would not be comfortable sharing with a third-party cloud service.

Uploaded content is stored in cloud infrastructure, processed by third-party services, and may be accessible via share links. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of uploaded content and accept no liability for any loss, disclosure, or damage resulting from the upload of sensitive documents.

Third-party personal data

If you upload a document containing personal information about other people — such as names, addresses, financial details, or employment information — you are responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to share that data with a third-party service. This includes having consent from the individuals concerned or another lawful basis under applicable data protection law. We may remove content that we believe contains third-party personal data uploaded without proper authority.

Share links

When you share a listen link, anyone with the link can listen to the audio. You are responsible for who you share links with. Share links are intended for personal sharing. Sharing links to copyrighted content at scale (such as publishing them publicly to distribute copyrighted books) is not permitted.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service. This includes not attempting to disrupt or overload the service, not creating multiple accounts to circumvent limits, not using automated tools to bulk-upload documents, and not using the service for any illegal purpose.

Prohibited content

You must not upload, generate audio from, or share via PageListener any content that:

• Is sexually explicit, pornographic, or obscene
• Depicts, promotes, or facilitates the sexual exploitation or abuse of minors (CSAM) — we will report any such content to law enforcement
• Promotes or incites violence, terrorism, or physical harm against any person or group
• Contains hate speech — content that attacks, demeans, or incites hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin
• Is defamatory, libellous, or designed to harass, stalk, or intimidate others
• Contains malware, viruses, or other harmful code
• Infringes intellectual property rights when shared publicly (see Share links section)
• Violates any applicable law or regulation

Content removal and enforcement

We reserve the right to review, remove, or disable access to any content at our sole discretion, without prior notice, if we believe it violates these terms, contains sensitive or confidential information inappropriate for the service, poses a risk to our users, our service, or our brand, or is otherwise unsuitable for a public document-to-audio platform. This includes removing audio, PDFs, share links, and collection links. We may access and review uploaded content and generated audio for the purposes of quality assurance, content moderation, troubleshooting, and improving the service.

If you repeatedly violate these terms, or if a single violation is serious enough, we may immediately suspend or terminate your account without warning. We are not obligated to provide you with a copy of removed content.

If you encounter prohibited content on PageListener, please report it to us via our contact page.

Copyright and the public audio library

PageListener's public audio library makes publicly available documents — such as government reports, institutional publications, and research papers — accessible in audio format. Our aim is to improve accessibility: enabling people to listen to content they would otherwise need to read.

All documents in the public library are attributed to their original rights holder. Where available, we include a link to the original source document. We do not claim any rights over third-party content, and we do not monetise individual documents directly.

We believe this use is consistent with the purpose of accessibility and with the spirit of open publication. Many of the documents in our public library are published under open licences (such as the Open Government Licence) or are made freely available by their authors for public benefit.

However, we respect intellectual property rights. If you are a rights holder and believe that a document in our public library or accessible via a share link infringes your copyright, you may request its removal by contacting us at support@pagelistener.com with the subject line "Copyright Takedown Request". Please include the title of the document, your name and organisation, your relationship to the work, and a link to the original source if available. We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and remove or disable access to the content promptly if your claim is valid.

We reserve the right to restore content if we believe the takedown request is mistaken, for example where the content is published under an open licence or is in the public domain.

Our responsibilities

We aim to keep the service running reliably but cannot guarantee 100% uptime. Audio quality depends on the text-to-speech technology and the quality of text extracted from your PDF. We are not responsible for inaccurate audio caused by poor PDF formatting, scanned images without text, or documents in unsupported languages.

Content and intellectual property

You retain all rights to documents you upload. We do not claim any ownership of your content. We store and process your documents solely to provide the service to you.

The PageListener name, logo, and design are the property of Coiron Ltd.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Coiron Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding any claim.

Termination

You can delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. If we terminate your account, we will tell you why unless prevented by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will update the "last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated terms. For significant changes, we will notify you by email if you have an account.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
