Terms of Service

Last updated: 21 April 2026

Key point: AccessAudit is an automated scanning tool. Audit reports and certificates confirm that an automated scan was performed — they are not legal certifications of WCAG compliance. Full compliance requires manual expert testing. See Section 3 for details.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using AccessAudit ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the individual developer operating AccessAudit ("we", "us", "our") at accessauditai.com.

2. Description of Service

AccessAudit is an automated web accessibility scanning platform. The Service: • Scans web pages for accessibility violations using axe-core and other automated checks • Provides AI-generated fix suggestions for detected violations • Generates accessibility reports, share links, and audit certificates • Tracks fix progress and compliance scores over time • Sends automated monitoring alerts when scores drop The Service is provided to freelancers, web developers, and agencies operating primarily in the European Union.

3. Limitation of Liability — Automated Scanning

IMPORTANT: Please read this section carefully. Automated scanning detects only a subset of WCAG violations. AccessAudit and its automated tools can detect approximately 40–60% of programmatically detectable accessibility issues. The remaining issues require manual expert testing. The audit reports and certificates generated by AccessAudit: • Confirm that an automated accessibility audit was performed on a specific URL at a specific time • Are NOT a legal certification of WCAG compliance • Are NOT a substitute for a manual accessibility audit by a qualified expert • Do NOT guarantee that the scanned website meets legal requirements under the European Accessibility Act (EAA), ADA, Section 508, or any other regulation We are not liable for: • Any fines, penalties, or legal claims arising from reliance on AccessAudit reports as proof of legal compliance • Accessibility violations that automated tools cannot detect • Inaccurate or incorrect AI-generated fix suggestions • Any damages resulting from implementing AI-suggested code fixes without expert review By using the Service, you acknowledge that full WCAG compliance requires manual expert testing in addition to automated scanning.
