Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By using ClarifyADA’s website, scanner tool, or contracting for our services, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our services.

Description of Services

ClarifyADA designs, builds, and hosts websites built to WCAG 2.2 AA standards, and maintains a Compliance Diary documenting accessibility-related work performed on hosted sites. Specific deliverables are defined in your individual service agreement or proposal.

Not Legal Advice

ClarifyADA is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site, in our reports, or in our services constitutes legal advice or a guarantee regarding your legal exposure under the ADA, Unruh Act, or any other law. You should consult a qualified attorney for legal guidance specific to your business.

The Scanner Tool

Our free scanner provides an automated, preliminary accessibility assessment. It is not a comprehensive audit and does not constitute a compliance certification. Results are provided “as is” for informational purposes.

Hosting & Site Ownership

When you engage us for a hosted website: we build and host the site on infrastructure we manage, which allows us to maintain the Compliance Diary as a continuous, contemporaneous record. You own your content, brand assets, and business data. If you choose to leave, we will support a reasonable transition of your site and content within 30 days of a written request, subject to any outstanding fees. Compliance Diary records generated during our hosting period remain available to you as part of that transition, in a reasonable exportable format.

The Compliance Diary

The Compliance Diary is a documentation tool, not a legal guarantee. It records scan results, remediation actions, and content changes as they occur. It does not make your site immune from claims, and it is not legal advice or a legal opinion about your compliance status.

Payment Terms

[Standard: deposit structure, monthly hosting billing cycle, late payment terms, refund policy to be filled in per your actual billing practices.]

Client Responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy of content you provide (business details, pricing, photos, and other site content). If your site includes third-party integrations (booking tools, e-commerce, review widgets, or similar embeds), you remain responsible for the accessibility of that third-party functionality. We test and document what we can, and will flag issues we identify, but we do not control third-party code we don’t build. You agree to provide timely feedback and approvals so we can meet project timelines.

Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, you own the custom design and content created for your site. ClarifyADA retains ownership of our underlying tools, templates, and Compliance Diary system architecture.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ClarifyADA’s liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including legal costs or settlements arising from third-party claims against your business.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Our services are provided “as is.” While we build to WCAG 2.2 AA standards and test accordingly, we do not guarantee that your site will be free of all accessibility issues or that you will not face legal claims.

Termination

Either party may terminate the service agreement per the terms of your individual contract. Upon termination, hosting access will be transitioned per the Hosting & Site Ownership section above.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms periodically. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance.
