These terms are the agreement between you and AccessBadger when you use accessbadger.com and the tools we provide. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them.
Who we are
AccessBadger is a business based in the United Kingdom. In these terms “we” and “us” mean AccessBadger and “you” means the person or organisation using the service. You can reach us through our .
Your account
You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for what happens under your account, for keeping access to your Google account secure, and for making sure the people you add to your organisation are allowed to use it. If you use AccessBadger for a business, you confirm that you can agree to these terms on its behalf.
Using the service
You may use AccessBadger for lawful purposes. In particular, you agree that you will:
- only add websites to your account that you own or have permission to scan and monitor;
- not use the service, including the free scanner on our homepage, to attack, overload or probe any website or network, or to scan addresses that are not meant to be public;
- not try to get around our limits, bot checks or security measures;
- not copy, resell or reverse engineer the service, other than as the law allows; and
- not upload anything unlawful or harmful.
We may limit or suspend use of the service, including by blocking addresses, if we think it is being abused.
What our results are, and are not
AccessBadger scans, scores and reports are automated. Automated checks find only part of what accessibility standards such as WCAG cover, and a clean result does not mean a website is accessible or that it complies with any law. Our results, guides and generated documents are information, not legal advice.
The accessibility statements the statement generator produces are starting points based on templates. You must check that they are true for your website and suitable for the countries you operate in before you publish them. You remain responsible for your website’s accessibility and for what your statements say.
Scripts you install on your website
If you add the AccessBadger feedback widget or the speed measurement script to a website, you are responsible for telling your visitors, for example in your own privacy policy, how reports and measurements are handled. For feedback reports you are the controller of the personal data and we process it on your behalf.
We may ask that the feedback widget on a free plan includes a link back to AccessBadger, and if we do, we will tell you before it applies.
Plans and payment
AccessBadger is currently free to use. If we introduce paid plans, we will tell you the price and what is included before you are charged, and we will not charge you without your agreement. Free use may be limited, and we may change what the free plan includes.
Who owns what
You keep ownership of your websites, your content and the reports and statements you create. You give us permission to process them as needed to provide the service. We keep ownership of AccessBadger, including its software, design and name, and give you a limited right to use it for as long as you have an account.
Availability and changes
We work to keep the service available but we do not promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. It depends on third parties such as Google and our hosting providers. We may change, add or remove features, and we will try to give notice of changes that matter.
Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to that, and because the service is provided as it is, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue or data, and our total liability to you for anything arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or £100 if you paid nothing. We do not guarantee that using AccessBadger will make your website comply with any law or standard, or protect you from complaints or enforcement.
Ending your use
You can stop using AccessBadger at any time and ask us to delete your account through our . We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or if the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as ownership and liability, continue after your account ends.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we make a change that matters, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, tell you by email. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer living elsewhere you keep any rights you have under the mandatory law of the place where you live.
