- Our tool provides AUTOMATED scanning only. Results do NOT constitute legal advice.
- We CANNOT and DO NOT guarantee that your website is fully WCAG or ADA compliant.
- A passing score on our tool does not protect you from legal action.
- For full legal compliance, consult a qualified accessibility expert and attorney.
- We are not liable for any lawsuits, fines, or damages arising from your use of scan results.
4. Acceptable Use
- You may only scan websites you own or have explicit written permission to scan.
- You may not use this service to scan competitor websites for malicious purposes.
