Rules for using AccessAudit responsibly during validation.
These Terms explain what AccessAudit provides, what it does not guarantee, and what users are responsible for when running accessibility scans or using AI-assisted reports.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By creating an account, submitting a URL, running a scan, exporting a report or using AccessAudit, you agree to these Terms and to responsible use of the service.
If you use AccessAudit on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to use the service for that organisation.
2. What AccessAudit provides
AccessAudit provides accessibility evaluation features such as automated WCAG checks, custom rules, visual evidence, AI-assisted explanations, guided verification, scan history and report generation.
AccessAudit is a technical evaluation and workflow tool. It is not a legal certification service, government authority or final accessibility conformance decision.
4. Prohibited use
You must not use AccessAudit to:
- attack, overload, disrupt, scrape or abuse third-party systems;
- scan private, restricted or sensitive systems without permission;
- submit passwords, API keys, credentials, secrets or private customer data;
- attempt to reverse engineer, bypass limits, exploit bugs or interfere with the service;
- misrepresent reports as official legal certification or guaranteed WCAG conformance;
- use the service for unlawful, harmful or abusive purposes.
5. Accounts and security
You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity performed through your account.
AccessAudit may suspend, restrict or remove access if an account appears to be misused, creates security risk, violates these Terms or harms the service.
6. AI assistance and human review
AI outputs are provided as assistance. They may include explanations, user impact summaries, draft remediation guidance, WCAG context and selected semantic review.
AI outputs can be incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate for a specific project context. Final decisions about accessibility, implementation, acceptance of fixes and legal compliance require human review.
AccessAudit separates deterministic scanning from AI-assisted interpretation. Most technical detection comes from automated rules, while AI supports explanation and review workflows.
7. Reports, scores and benchmark information
AccessAudit reports, scores, severity labels and issue lists are technical aids. They help identify and prioritise accessibility work, but they do not prove that a website fully conforms to WCAG or any law.
Automated scanning detects only a subset of accessibility barriers. Some issues require keyboard testing, assistive technology testing, content review, user research or expert judgement.
Benchmark information shown on the website is preliminary and intended to explain the research direction. It should not be treated as a final scientific claim or a guarantee that AccessAudit will detect every issue on every page.
8. Validation access and future paid plans
AccessAudit is currently available during validation. Access, limits, features and scan availability may change as the product matures.
Paid plans may be introduced later with clear notice before billing is enabled. Until a paid checkout or billing agreement is explicitly enabled, the website should not be interpreted as charging users automatically.
9. Availability and changes to the service
AccessAudit may change, pause or remove features, adjust scan limits, update models, replace service providers, modify reports, or perform maintenance without guaranteeing continuous availability.
Scans may fail because of website restrictions, network conditions, JavaScript behaviour, authentication walls, third-party blocking, infrastructure errors or unsupported page structures.
10. Data and privacy
Use of AccessAudit involves processing account data, submitted URLs, scan results, screenshots, technical metadata, contact messages and AI assistance context.
More detail is provided in the Privacy Policy.
11. Responsibility and limitation of liability
You remain responsible for how you use scan results, AI suggestions and reports. You should review findings before relying on them for development, client communication, policy decisions or compliance work.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AccessAudit is not responsible for indirect losses, missed issues, incorrect AI suggestions, misuse of scans, third-party website behaviour or claims users make based on reports.
12. Changes to these Terms
These Terms may be updated as AccessAudit changes, introduces paid plans, adds providers, modifies the scan workflow or expands product features.
The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
