1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using AccessibilityScanner ("Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you ("User", "you", or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and AccessibilityScanner. Your use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and creates a binding contract.

The Service may not detect all accessibility barriers.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
