Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026 (v2) · Effective immediately

    The short version: Toombler is a free service. Your PDFs stay in your Google Drive. We show one advertisement on the inside of the cover of each flipbook — that's the only thing we ask in return. Be respectful: don't use Toombler to distribute illegal or harmful content.
  

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using any part of Toombler (toombler.com / toombler.net), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. What Toombler is

Toombler is a web application that converts PDF files stored in your own Google Drive into interactive page-flip viewers ("flipbooks") that can be embedded on any website using an iframe, a JS snippet (a small <div> tag powered by a script loaded from toombler.com), a Web Component (<toombler-flipbook>), or an oEmbed URL that allows platforms such as WordPress and Ghost to auto-embed the flipbook. Toombler is provided free of charge.

3. The only thing we ask in return

Toombler is free because we show a single advertisement on the second page (the inside of the cover) of each embedded flipbook. This applies to all embed methods: iframe, JS snippet, Web Component, and oEmbed. This is the only commercial element of the service. We do not charge you, we do not sell your data, and we do not show ads anywhere else in the viewer or on the dashboard. By using Toombler you agree not to block, hide, or otherwise prevent the display of this single ad unit.

If you use the JS snippet or Web Component embed method, a script (embed.js) will be loaded from toombler.com each time a visitor loads the page containing your flipbook. You are responsible for ensuring that your website's cookie notice and privacy policy inform your visitors of third-party scripts loaded from Toombler, in accordance with applicable law (e.g. GDPR).

4. Your account

You sign in with your Google account. You are responsible for keeping access to that Google account secure. You may only create an account for yourself and must be at least 13 years old (16 in the EU). We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that violate these terms.

5. Your content

You retain full ownership of the PDF files you share via Toombler. Your files are stored in your own Google Drive — we never copy or permanently store the contents of your PDFs on our servers. By adding a Drive link to Toombler you confirm that:

You own the content or have the right to share it publicly.
The content does not violate any third-party intellectual property rights.
The content complies with the acceptable use rules in section 6.

You can delete your flipbooks from your dashboard at any time, which removes the link from our database. The underlying file in Google Drive is unaffected.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use Toombler to distribute content that:

Is illegal in your jurisdiction or in the Netherlands (where Toombler operates).
Contains child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any other content that sexualises minors.
Constitutes harassment, hate speech, or incitement to violence.
Infringes the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of others.
Contains malware, phishing content, or is designed to deceive users.
Violates Google Drive's Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to remove flipbooks or suspend accounts that we believe, in good faith, violate these rules.

7. Intellectual property

The Toombler name, logo, and software are owned by Toombler. Nothing in these terms grants you a right to use our brand or copy our software. The flipbook viewer technology is built in part on open-source libraries (StPageFlip, PDF.js); their respective licences apply.

8. Third-party services

Toombler integrates with Google services (Drive, Identity, Analytics, AdSense) and runs on Cloudflare infrastructure. Your use of those services is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the actions of third-party services.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

Toombler is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that your flipbooks will always be accessible. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Toombler shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service shall not exceed €100.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes that cannot be resolved amicably will be submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. If you are a consumer in the EU, you also retain the protections afforded by the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, post a notice on the homepage. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
