FileHop is a desktop application that provides local file-productivity tools. The Application:

• Processes all features locally on your device (document conversion, image and video compression, data tools, and file preview and editing)

The Application, including its original content, features, and functionality, is owned by Vysakh Sreenivasan and is protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

9. Modifications to Terms

The Developer reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated terms. Your continued use of the Application after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
