What happens

You cancel anytime, for any reason

We cancel without cause

30 days' written notice. Refund of any prepaid, unused License Fees for the remainder of your License Period.

Either of us terminates for the other's uncured breach

The breaching party gets a cure period first: 14 days (monthly plans) or 30 days (annual plans), after written notice. If the breach isn't cured in time, the agreement ends immediately.

Your use falls outside your License Scope (e.g. visit overage, unlicensed subdomain, unlicensed feature)

You will get 7 days’ written notice to cure or upgrade, then automatic upgrade, suspension, or termination.

We suspend your access

We may suspend, rather than terminate, if we believe you're violating these Terms or creating a security or legal risk. We may lift the suspension once the issue is resolved.

Your plan doesn't renew, or you don't upgrade a tier

See "Automatic Renewal" below for what happens if your site outgrows its tier, or you don't cancel auto-renewal in time.

  1. Termination for Convenience
  1. You may terminate at any time, by written notice, provided you pay all fees through the end of your current License Period. There will be no refund unless stated otherwise in this Section.
  2. We may terminate at any time, for any reason, on 30 days’ written notice, and will refund any prepaid License Fees for the remainder of your License Period, exception that termination is effective immediately, without refund, where required by law or where we are incapable of maintaining these Terms.
  1. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate immediately by written notice if the other party’s material breach remains uncured for 14 days (monthly plans) or 30 days (annual plans) after written notice, or if the other party becomes subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceedings.
  1. Suspension. We may suspend your access at any time, without prior notice, if we believe in our discretion that you or anyone acting on your behalf poses a security or legal risk or is violating these Terms or applicable law. We will lift the suspension once we’re satisfied the grounds no longer exist.
  2. Effects of Termination
  1. Your licenses and rights terminate immediately (for-cause termination) or at the end of the current License Period (termination for convenience). You must stop using the Services and your User Account and remove applicable Services from Customer Websites. We have no obligation to retain Customer Data beyond our standard retention period.
  2. You remain responsible for all fees due through the end of your then-current License Period. Except as expressly provided under these Terms, fees are non-refundable. If you terminate this Agreement (a) for our uncured breach, or (b) due to a Material Modification, we will refund any prepaid License Fees for the unused portion of the License Period.
  3. Termination does not limit either party from pursuing other available remedies, and neither party is liable to the other for damages arising solely from a permitted termination. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including accrued payment obligations, survive.
  1. Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted access to the Services, your License automatically renews at the end of each License Period: monthly plans renew for successive 30-day periods, and annual plans renew for successive 12-month periods. To cancel, submit written notice or disable auto-renewal through your account no later than:

We may update the payment methods we accept at any time.

Unpaid balances after that date will accrue interest at 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. We may also retry the charge, or suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Service, without prior notice. We are not obligated to retry a failed payment before taking any of these steps.

You may not settle any such claim or contention without the Company's prior written consent.
  2. The Company’s Indemnity to Customer. The Company will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each Customer against third-party claims awarded in a final, non-appealable, and unstayed judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a settlement that exempt you from any obligation, that the Company's products or services infringe or misappropriate third-party intellectual property. Customer will promptly notify the Company of any such claim, and the Company may take over its exclusive defense. Customer will cooperate with reasonable requests and may not settle any such claim without the Company’s prior written consent.

This Section applies only to Customers with an active, paid Subscription Plan for the Service giving rise to the claim. For any Service accessed free of charge, including accessScan, the Company’s sole obligation with respect to a third-party intellectual property claim is to, at its option, modify the Service to avoid the claim or discontinue the Customer’s access to it; this Section’s defense and indemnification obligations do not apply. If a Service is found, or in the Company’s reasonable opinion is likely to be found, to infringe or misappropriate a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Company may, at its option and expense; (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the affected Service; (ii) replace or modify the affected Service to make it non-infringing, provided it remains substantially similar in functionality; or (iii) terminate the applicable Service and refund any prepaid, unused License Fees or accessServices Fees for the terminated Service.

Any questions, concerns, or required notices under these Terms should be directed to the Company via email.
  8. Entire Agreement; Modifications; Assignment.
  1. These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice, DPA, and applicable Product Terms, constitute the entire agreement between the Company and each Customer governing access to and use of the Services, and supersede all prior agreements on those subjects. In the event of a conflict among these documents, the following order of precedence applies: (i) the applicable Product Terms; (ii) the applicable Order Form (including any order confirmation, quote, statement of work, or accessServices Order), but only to the extent the Order Form expressly and specifically identifies the Product Terms provision it is varying and states that it controls; and (iii) these Terms. A provision of an Order Form does not vary the Product Terms or these Terms merely by addressing the same subject matter, any variance must be expressed and agreed to in writing.
  2. The Company may update these Terms at any time. Non-material changes take effect immediately upon posting. If any change would materially and negatively affect a Customer's rights or increase their obligations ("Material Modification"), the Company will provide at least 7 days' advance notice via the Customer's User Account or email, or in a similar form. Continued use of the Services after a Material Modification becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If a Customer does not accept a Material Modification, they may terminate their engagement by notifying the Company in writing before the change takes effect.
  3. The Company's failure to exercise any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right. Customers may not assign their rights or obligations under these Terms without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign its rights and obligations freely.
  4. Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under these Terms without the other party's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Either party may assign these Terms without consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that: (a) the assigning party gives prompt written notice; (b) the assignee assumes all of the assigning party's obligations under these Terms; and (c) the assignee is not a direct competitor of the other party.

  1. Electronic Communications

  1. The Company may provide Customers with communications about the Services, including their User Account, in electronic form via the email address each Customer submitted or via their User Account. These Terms, any notices, disclosures, and other communications provided electronically satisfy any legal requirement that these communications would satisfy if they were on paper. This provision does not affect any non-waivable rights. Customers will not be able to opt-out of receiving such service messages.
  2. The Company may record calls, video meetings, and conference calls conducted in connection with the Services, including through third-party platforms, for training, quality assurance, and recordkeeping purposes. The Company will provide notice at the start of any recorded session. By scheduling or participating in a call with the Company after receiving such notice, Customers consent to the recording and its retention in the Company's records. Customers who do not wish to be recorded must notify the Company prior to the call, and the Company will accommodate that request. For the avoidance of doubt, each such request applies solely to the call for which it is made.

  1. Software Services

Our Software Services are cloud-based, software-as-a-service accessibility solutions ("Software Services").

  1. Covered Product Terms

  1. Excluded Issues. Certain accessibility issues fall outside the scope of what the Covered Products can address ("Excluded Issues"). An updated list of Excluded Issues is available on the accessiBe website. accessiBe will endeavor to provide Customers with reasonable advance notice of any material changes to the Excluded Issues list. If Excluded Issues apply to your Website, additional services may be available, either through accessiBe's accessServices offering or third-party providers.
  2. Technical Information Covered Products
  1. accessWidget works with Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Android, and iOS. accessFlow works with Chrome, Android, and iOS. Both require your Website to be built on HTML.
  2. Before You Install. Before installing a Covered Product, you are responsible for confirming that your website is compatible and ready, including that your site is properly maintained (using HTML tags correctly, avoiding deprecated elements, and keeping code clean), free of JavaScript or HTML validation errors, and reliably connected to the internet and your infrastructure. We recommend validating your website's code using a tool like the W3C Markup Validation Service before installation.
  1. Installation. 
  1. You must install and use each Covered Product strictly in accordance with the tools and documentation the Company provides, including the Website Onboarding Guide available in your User Account or by email.
  2. accessWidget must be installed directly within your website's BODY HTML tag, immediately before the closing </body> tag, and must be visible in your browser's "view source" function. You may install it via a plugin, directly in your code, a third-party script manager, or any other method, provided these requirements are met. After installation, you are responsible for verifying the installation, completing the Website Onboarding Guide (available in your User Account or by email), and testing that accessWidget functions correctly on your website. Failure to meet these requirements may prevent accessWidget from functioning as intended.
  3. Before deploying accessWidget to your live website or applying any accessFlow remediation suggestions to your Website Properties, we recommend first testing in a staging or test environment. Only proceed with your live deployment after confirming there are no errors or issues in your test environment.
  1. Compatibility with Other Accessibility Measures. Covered Products are designed to work alongside any other accessibility measures you have in place, whether implemented before or after installing our Services ("Other Accessibility Measures"). However, we cannot guarantee that our Services will not affect, or be affected by, those measures, or that they will function as intended when used together. Specifically, Covered Products will not override Other Accessibility Measures, even if those measures are incorrect or non-compliant with applicable accessibility requirements. Any interactions between our Services and your Other Accessibility Measures are excluded from our warranties.
  2. Support. Customers who encounter issues with the installation, use or implementation of Covered Products must contact the Company via [email protected] and describe such issues. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customers in resolving such issues.
  3. Blocking or Geo-Blocking. Blocking or Geo-Blocking your website may prevent accessWidget or accessFlow from performing as intended. "Blocking" means your website restricts public scanner access (including via ad blockers) or redirects to another location. "Geo-Blocking" means your website is unreachable from, or redirects users based on, certain geographic locations.
  4. AI Usage. Because accessWidget and accessFlow are AI-based, they may not be able to remediate or suggest fixes for website functionalities that are unique or uncommon.
  5. Accessibility Template. The Company may provide a template accessibility statement for your use. You are solely responsible for ensuring it meets your specific needs, applicable legal requirements, and any language requirements.

  1. accessWidget

  1. Definitions.
  1. MTCR Website” means a desktop (non-mobile) Customer Website and which is either (a) part of a Subscription Plan that includes MTCR Services, or (b) subject to a separate written agreement with the Company designating it as an “MTCR Website”. An “MTCR Website” does not include such Customer Website’s subdomain(s) (unless a separate License is purchased for such subdomain, in which case such subdomain shall be deemed a “Customer Website”, and if it meets the above requirements, also an “MTCR Website”).
  2. Custom Remediation” means remediation by the Company of a Detected Failure.
  3. Detected Failure” means an element on an MTCR Website that the Company detected, via Manual Testing, to be inaccessible in accordance with a Legal Website Accessibility Requirement, and which accessWidget purports to remediate. Detected Failures do not include Excluded Failures.
  4. Excluded Failure” means a failure to render a high-impact element on an MTCR Website accessible in accordance with a Legal Website Accessibility Requirement due to either (a) a result of any actions or inactions that are or were outside of the Company’s control, (b) an Excluded Issue (or related to, or the a result of the existence of, an Excluded Issue), or (c) a result of “false positive” testing of accessibility features.
  5. Manual Testing” means the manual testing of an MTCR Website for core functionality accessibility, as solely determined by the Company.
  1. Manual Testing. accessiBe will manually test the core functionalities of eligible websites for accessibility compliance, at the times and based on the service levels published on the Company Website. If accessiBe determines, in its sole discretion, that an eligible website has sufficiently complex or numerous core functionalities that make full testing infeasible, it will notify the Customer of such in writing. The Customer’s termination and refund rights are as set forth in the Termination and Refund Section of these Product Terms.
  2. Custom Remediation. If Manual Testing identifies a website element that (a) is inaccessible under Legal Website Accessibility requirements, and (b) falls within the scope of issues accessWidget is designed to remediate, accessiBe will remediate that element within the timeframes and service levels published on the Company Website.
  3. Remediation Exclusions.. Remediation does not apply to failures that: (a) result from actions or circumstances outside accessiBe's control; (b) relate to, or are caused by, Excluded Issues; or (c) result from false positive accessibility testing.
  4. Infeasibility Notice; Termination Rights. If accessiBe determines, in its sole discretion, that remediating a failure (or group of failures) would require unreasonable resources or effort, it will notify the Customer in writing. The Customer’s termination and refund rights are as set forth in the Termination and Refund Section of these Product Terms.
  5. Post-Remediation Responsibility. Updates or changes made to an MTCR Website after remediation may undo the accessibility fixes that were applied. Customers are responsible for ensuring that any changes to their website do not reintroduce accessibility issues after remediation was applied.
  1. Termination and Refund. If, under the Manual Testing and Custom Remediation Section, accessiBe notifies the Customer that full testing or remediation of a website is infeasible or would require unreasonable resources or effort, the Customer may terminate the License for that website within 14 days of the notice. In such event, if the website has not yet undergone Manual Testing or Custom Remediation, accessiBe will refund the full License Fee for the current License Period. If the website has already undergone Manual Testing or Custom Remediation, accessiBe will refund any pre-paid License Fees for the remaining period after termination.

Such activity is also a violation of these Terms, and may result in suspension or termination without prior notice.

  1. accessServices

  1. General Terms
  1. What are accessServices. In addition to the Software Services, accessiBe offers a range of professional accessibility services (collectively, "accessServices"). Unlike the Software Services, accessServices are not provided on a subscription or License Period basis, and access to accessServices requires a separate quote, statement of work, or other written agreement between accessiBe and the Customer specifying the applicable scope, fees, and deliverables (an "accessServices Order"). These Product Terms apply to each accessServices Order. The scope, fees, deliverables, and timeline for the applicable accessServices will in all cases be as set forth in the accessServices Order. Beyond those items, an accessServices Order will control over these Product Terms only where the accessServices Order expressly and specifically identifies the Product Terms provision it is varying. accessServices may be purchased on a one-time or recurring basis, as specified in the applicable accessServices Order. Where accessServices are purchased on a recurring basis, the accessServices Order will specify the applicable frequency, term, and renewal terms (if any).

Development of a customized Accessibility Statement aligned with the requirements of the European Accessibility Act ("EAA"), communicating a Customer Website's accessibility conformance status at a specific point in time ("EU Accessibility Statement Service"). The EU Accessibility Statement Service is an add-on to the Audit Service.
  2. Basis of the Accessibility Statement. The Accessibility Statement reflects the state of the Customer Website as assessed at the time of the relevant audit and should be accompanied by the completion of the Audit Service and, where applicable, remediation work and Verification Review/Retest.
  3. No Certification of Compliance. The Accessibility Statement is not a certification of compliance with the EAA or any other applicable law or regulation.
  1. General Assumptions and Disclaimers
  1. Audit Services (including Agile Audit Service), VPAT Service, VPAT Update Service, User Testing Services, Verification Review/Retest Service, and EU Accessibility Statement Service are each performed on the assumption that: (i) no material changes are made to the Customer Website while the applicable Service is being rendered; and (ii) the Customer provides the Company with the access to the Customer Website necessary to perform the Service, including access to a development server or sandbox environment, where required. If changes to the Customer Website during that period affect the scope, timeline, or accuracy of the Services, the Customer must promptly notify the Company. The Company may then either: (a) renegotiate the scope, timeline, and fees, or (b) discontinue the Service if the parties cannot agree on adjusted terms. In the case of discontinuation, the Customer may be entitled to a pro-rata refund for any pre-paid work not completed under the original scope.
  2. None of the accessServices constitute a guarantee, certification, or representation that a Customer Website is compliant with the ADA, WCAG, the EAA, or any other applicable law, standard, or regulation, or that it will render a Customer Website fully accessible. accessServices identify, document, and help address accessibility barriers in alignment with recognized accessibility standards.
  3. Access and Submission. To access and use accessServices, a Customer must submit the applicable information and Customer Content through a  Customer's user account.
  4. Digital Asset List. Customers who purchase accessServices may request a list of the digital files and media assets detected on the Customer Website.
  1. Ownership of Deliverables. Upon full payment of all applicable fees for accessServices, ownership of deliverables will transfer to the Customer. The Company may retain a copy of any deliverable and use it for its internal purposes, including for routine backup and archiving, evidentiary purposes, to support or defend legal claims, or for compliance with legal obligations under applicable law.
  2. Exclusive Remedy. Unless otherwise expressly stated in these Terms, where the accessServices Section provides for the correction of a deliverable or a refund of fees paid for the applicable accessServices, including under the Deliverable Rejection and Correction and Post-Delivery Accessibility Complaints  Sections, such correction or refund shall constitute the Company's sole obligation and the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the applicable claim.
  1. Payments for accessServices 
  1. A Customer wishing to use accessServices must request a quote via their User Account and, following receipt of such quote, pay the applicable quoted fees ("accessServices Fee"). The Company will not commence provision of accessServices until the applicable accessServices Fee is paid in full.
  2. Other than as expressly set forth in these Terms, accessServices Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, even if any accessServices are canceled or unused.

  1. PARTNER TERMS

These Partner Terms apply to any Person participating in accessiBe's Reseller, Referral Partner, and/or Non-Profit Partner Program (each, a "Partner Program," and each participant, a "Partner"). Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Partner Terms, all provisions of the Terms including the Terms and, where applicable, the Product Terms apply to Partners and govern their access to and use of the Services.

  2. The Company is not a party to any agreement between any Person and a Partner (as such term is defined in the Company’s Partner Program) (a “Partner Agreement”) and shall not be deemed to be bound by any obligations in any such Partner Agreement. Therefore, such Persons may seek redress, exercise or enforcement of such rights solely vis-a-vis the applicable Partner and not the Company.
