Terms of Service

Effective date: 1 January 2025 | Last updated: 26 February 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Inclusivy ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the Inclusivy website accessibility assessment service ("Service").

By accessing or using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and references to "you" shall include that organisation.

2. Description of Service

Inclusivy provides automated website accessibility assessment services. The Service analyses publicly accessible web pages against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA success criteria and generates reports identifying potential accessibility issues with remediation guidance.

2.1 Service Scope

The Service includes:

  • Automated assessment of submitted URLs against WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria
  • Generation of accessibility assessment reports
  • Quantified compliance scoring
  • Remediation guidance for identified issues
  • Unlimited verification rescans of previously assessed URLs for 1 year from the date of purchase

2.2 Service Limitations

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Service provides automated assessment and cannot identify all accessibility issues that may be detectable through manual testing
  • The Service assesses individual URLs, not entire websites
  • Results are based on the state of the URL at the time of assessment and may not reflect subsequent changes
  • The Service does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee compliance with any law, regulation, or standard
  • Assessment is limited to publicly accessible content; password-protected or login-required pages cannot be assessed

3. User Obligations and Responsibilities

3.1 Acceptable Use

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information when using the Service
  • Use the Service only for lawful purposes in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Only submit URLs for websites you own, operate, or have explicit authorisation to assess
  • Maintain the confidentiality of any credentials or access mechanisms associated with your use of the Service

3.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to scan websites without proper authorisation
  • Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service
  • Use automated scripts or bots to access the Service except through our authorised API (if applicable)
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any aspect of the Service
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the Service
  • Transmit any malware, viruses, or other harmful code
  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service without our written consent

3.3 Compliance Responsibility and Legal Disclaimer

You acknowledge and expressly agree that:

  • You bear sole responsibility for ensuring your website complies with all applicable accessibility laws and regulations, including but not limited to the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the Web Accessibility Directive (WAD), Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, and any other national or international accessibility requirements
  • Our assessment reports do not constitute legal evidence of compliance with any law, regulation, directive, or standard, including WCAG 2.1 or the European Accessibility Act
  • A passing score or "compliant" indication in our reports does not guarantee that your website meets the legal requirements of the EAA or any other accessibility legislation
  • Automated testing can only detect a subset of accessibility issues; full compliance assessment requires manual expert review and user testing with people with disabilities
  • You may not rely on our reports as a legal defence or as proof of compliance in any legal, regulatory, or administrative proceeding
  • Inclusivy accepts no liability whatsoever if you or any third party relies on our reports to conclude compliance and subsequently faces legal claims, regulatory action, fines, or damages relating to accessibility non-compliance

The Service is provided as a tool to assist in identifying potential accessibility issues but does not replace professional accessibility auditing, manual expert review, or legal advice. We strongly recommend consulting qualified accessibility specialists and legal professionals before making compliance claims.

3.4 API Usage Terms

If we provide access to an Application Programming Interface (API) for the Service, the following additional terms apply:

  • Authentication: You must use valid API credentials for all API requests. API keys are confidential and must not be shared, published, or embedded in client-side code
  • Rate Limits: API access is subject to rate limits as specified in our API documentation. Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary or permanent suspension of API access
  • Fair Use: API access must be used for legitimate purposes consistent with these Terms. Automated mass-scanning, competitive analysis of our service, or any use that degrades service performance for other users is prohibited
  • Attribution: When displaying or redistributing data obtained via the API, you must include appropriate attribution to Inclusivy unless otherwise agreed in writing
  • Changes: We may modify, deprecate, or discontinue API endpoints or functionality with reasonable notice. We will endeavour to maintain backward compatibility where practical but do not guarantee it
  • Separate Agreement: Commercial or high-volume API usage may require a separate API agreement with additional terms and pricing

Violation of API usage terms may result in immediate termination of API access without refund.

4. Payment Terms

4.1 Pricing

The Service is provided on a per-URL basis at the price displayed on the website at the time of purchase. All prices are stated in Euros (EUR) and include applicable value-added tax (VAT) where required by law. Current pricing is available on our pricing page.

We reserve the right to modify our pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect purchases already completed. The price applicable to your purchase is the price displayed at the moment of initiating payment.

Each purchase includes unlimited verification rescans of the same URL for 1 year from the date of purchase at no additional charge. Rescans must be requested using the same email address used for the original purchase.

By initiating payment, you expressly consent to immediate performance of the Service and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the report has been delivered.
