Terms of Service

Last updated: April 9, 2026

IMPORTANT: BY ACCESSING OR USING ADACOMPLY, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the ADAComply platform, website, application, API, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and all applicable laws and regulations. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Vora Studios LLC, doing business as ADAComply ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes. We may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on our website. It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically.

2. Description of Service

ADAComply provides automated tools for PDF accessibility analysis, remediation, and compliance checking. The Service uses proprietary processes to analyze and modify PDF documents. The Service is provided as a tool to assist with accessibility compliance efforts.

3. No Guarantee of Compliance

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

  • ADAComply does NOT guarantee that any document processed through the Service will achieve PDF/UA-1, WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, Section 508, ADA, or any other accessibility standard or legal compliance status.
  • The Service provides automated best-effort processing that may not address all accessibility requirements for every document.
  • Compliance results, scores, and certifications displayed by the Service are generated by automated tools by our proprietary systems and are not legal certifications of compliance.
  • A document marked as "compliant" by our automated checks may still fail manual accessibility audits, legal reviews, or testing with assistive technologies.
  • Accessibility standards are subject to interpretation, and automated tools cannot fully replicate human judgment regarding accessibility.
  • You are solely responsible for verifying that your documents meet applicable accessibility standards and legal requirements.

4. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • ADAComply, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors shall NOT be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses.
  • ADAComply shall NOT be liable for any legal claims, lawsuits, fines, penalties, settlements, or regulatory actions arising from or related to the accessibility status of documents processed through the Service.
  • ADAComply shall NOT be liable for any failure of processed documents to meet any accessibility standard, whether or not the Service indicated that the document was compliant.
  • ADAComply shall NOT be liable for any claims brought by third parties, including persons with disabilities, advocacy organizations, government agencies, or any other entity, related to documents processed through the Service.
  • In no event shall ADAComply's total aggregate liability exceed the amount you paid to ADAComply in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is less.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. ADACOMPLY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ADACOMPLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM ADACOMPLY SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ADAComply, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

  • Your use of the Service;
  • Your violation of these Terms;
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  • Any claim that documents processed through the Service fail to meet accessibility or compliance requirements;
  • Any third-party claim related to documents you processed through the Service;
  • Your content, documents, or data submitted to the Service.

7. User Responsibilities

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are solely responsible for ensuring your documents comply with all applicable accessibility laws, regulations, and standards;
  • The Service is a tool to assist your compliance efforts, not a replacement for professional accessibility auditing or legal advice;
  • You should independently verify the accessibility of all documents before publishing or distributing them;
  • You will not rely solely on the Service for legal compliance decisions;
  • You have all necessary rights and permissions to submit documents to the Service.

8. Prohibited Content and User Content Responsibility

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

  • You are solely and entirely responsible for all content, data, text, images, and materials contained within any document you upload, submit, or process through the Service ("User Content").
  • ADAComply does not review, screen, moderate, approve, endorse, or verify the contents of any document submitted to the Service. The Service performs automated structural and accessibility processing only.
  • ADAComply has no knowledge of, and accepts no responsibility for, the subject matter, legality, accuracy, or appropriateness of any User Content.

You represent and warrant that your User Content does NOT contain:

  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any depictions of minors in sexual or exploitative situations;
  • Content that violates any federal, state, local, or international law or regulation;
  • Stolen, classified, or unlawfully obtained government or military documents;
  • Content that infringes upon the copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party;
  • Protected health information (PHI) in violation of HIPAA or equivalent regulations, unless you have a separate Business Associate Agreement with ADAComply;
  • Financial records, personally identifiable information (PII), or sensitive personal data of third parties submitted without lawful authority;
  • Content promoting terrorism, violence, hate crimes, or illegal activity;
  • Malware, viruses, or malicious code embedded within PDF files;
  • Any content that you do not have the legal right to possess, distribute, or process.

If any file you submit causes damage to ADAComply's systems, infrastructure, data, or third-party services — including but not limited to malware infection, data corruption, service disruption, or security breaches — you are fully liable for all resulting costs, damages, and expenses, including remediation costs, lost revenue, and third-party claims.

9. Document Access and Processing

You acknowledge that:

  • The Service processes documents using automated and manual methods that may involve viewing, analyzing, and modifying document content, structure, tags, fonts, reading order, images, text, and other attributes in order to perform accessibility remediation.
  • ADAComply personnel may view, access, and review the contents of your documents for purposes including but not limited to: quality assurance, troubleshooting processing failures, verifying remediation accuracy, improving the Service, and ensuring compliance with these Terms.
  • By submitting documents to the Service, you consent to ADAComply and its personnel viewing all content within those documents. Do not submit documents containing content you are not comfortable with ADAComply personnel seeing.
  • ADAComply is not obligated to monitor, review, or screen User Content for legality or appropriateness, and shall have no liability for any User Content submitted to the Service regardless of whether it was viewed during processing.
  • ADAComply processes documents at the direction of the User. The User selects which documents are submitted; ADAComply does not select, curate, or exercise editorial control over User Content.

10. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

ADAComply reserves the right to:

  • Cooperate fully with any law enforcement agency, court order, subpoena, or governmental request requiring disclosure of User Content, account information, or usage records;
  • Report to appropriate authorities any User Content or activity that ADAComply, in its sole discretion, believes may violate any law, including but not limited to laws regarding child exploitation, terrorism, fraud, or intellectual property theft;
  • Immediately suspend or terminate your account and preserve all associated data if ADAComply receives notice or reasonably believes that your use of the Service involves illegal activity;
  • Retain records of document processing (including file hashes, metadata, timestamps, IP addresses, and account information) as may be required by law or as ADAComply deems necessary for legal compliance.

You agree that ADAComply shall have no liability to you for any action taken pursuant to this section, including account suspension, data disclosure to authorities, or content removal.

11. Content Removal and Account Termination

ADAComply reserves the right, but has no obligation, to:

  • Remove or refuse to process any document at any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice;
  • Terminate or suspend your account immediately and without refund if ADAComply determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms or submitted prohibited content;
  • Retain or delete User Content in accordance with applicable law and our data retention policies.

12. Subprocessors and Third-Party Services

You acknowledge that in performing the Service, ADAComply may transmit, share, or otherwise make available your document content to third-party service providers, subprocessors, and infrastructure partners. By using the Service:

  • You consent to your document content being transmitted to and processed by third-party service providers as part of delivering the Service;
  • You acknowledge that such third-party providers have their own terms of service and data handling practices, which ADAComply does not control;
  • ADAComply shall not be liable for any data handling, retention, or processing performed by any third party used in the delivery of the Service;
  • The specific providers, methods, technologies, and processes used by ADAComply to deliver the Service are proprietary trade secrets and confidential. ADAComply is under no obligation to disclose how the Service functions;
  • You are responsible for ensuring that submitting your document content to the Service does not violate any confidentiality obligation, regulation, or agreement to which you are subject.

13. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, algorithms, designs, text, graphics, interfaces, and all other content and materials, is the exclusive property of ADAComply and is protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. No license or right is granted to you by implication or otherwise under any intellectual property rights owned by ADAComply, except for the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

14. Data and Privacy

Documents you upload to the Service may be processed by our proprietary systems. By using the Service, you grant ADAComply a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, copy, transmit, and modify your documents solely for the purpose of providing the Service. We will not sell your documents to third parties. We may share your documents with third-party service providers as necessary to deliver the Service, or as required by law.

15. Data Retention and Deletion

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • ADAComply retains your uploaded documents, processed outputs, and associated metadata for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce these Terms.
  • ADAComply may retain anonymized or aggregated data derived from your documents (such as processing statistics, performance metrics, and error rates) indefinitely for the purpose of improving the Service. Such data will not contain identifiable document content.
  • You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. Upon receiving a verified deletion request, ADAComply will delete your documents and account data within ninety (90) days, except where retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention, accounting, or legal compliance).
  • ADAComply is not responsible for data that has already been transmitted to third-party service providers prior to your deletion request. Deletion from third-party systems is governed by those providers' own retention policies.
  • Cached, backup, and archival copies of your data may persist in our systems for up to an additional ninety (90) days after deletion from active systems.

16. Payment, Credits, and Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Service operates on a credit-based system. Credits are purchased through the Service and consumed when documents are processed. Credit prices are displayed at the time of purchase and may change at any time without notice.
  • Credits are non-refundable once purchased, except at ADAComply's sole discretion or as required by applicable law.
  • Credits consumed during processing are non-refundable, regardless of whether the processing result meets your expectations, achieves compliance, or produces a satisfactory output.
  • If a document fails to process due to a system error (not a compliance failure), ADAComply may, at its sole discretion, return the consumed credits to your account. This is not guaranteed.
  • All payments are processed by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe). ADAComply does not store your full credit card information. You agree to the payment processor's terms of service in addition to these Terms.
  • You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account, including charges made by anyone you authorize to use your account or API keys.
  • If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for a legitimate charge, ADAComply reserves the right to immediately suspend your account, revoke any credits associated with the disputed payment, and pursue collection of the disputed amount plus any fees incurred by ADAComply as a result of the dispute.
  • Unused credits do not expire, unless your account is terminated for a violation of these Terms, in which case all remaining credits are forfeited without refund.

17. API Access

If you access the Service through our Application Programming Interface (API), the following additional terms apply:

  • API keys are issued to individual users and are non-transferable. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API keys and for all activity that occurs using your keys.
  • You must not share, publish, embed in client-side code, or otherwise expose your API keys. If you believe your key has been compromised, you must revoke it immediately through the API portal.
  • ADAComply may impose rate limits, usage quotas, and other restrictions on API access at any time without notice. Exceeding these limits may result in temporary or permanent suspension of API access.
  • You may integrate the API into your own products, services, or platforms, including for the purpose of offering document remediation to your own customers. You are responsible for all usage and charges incurred through your API keys regardless of who initiates the request.
  • Automated access to the Service outside of the provided API (such as scraping, bots, or unauthorized scripts) is strictly prohibited.
  • ADAComply may modify, deprecate, or discontinue API endpoints at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of breaking changes, but are not obligated to do so.

18. Reseller and Integration Use

IF YOU USE THE SERVICE OR API TO PROVIDE DOCUMENT REMEDIATION OR ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES TO YOUR OWN CUSTOMERS, CLIENTS, OR END USERS ("END USERS"), THE FOLLOWING TERMS APPLY AND OVERRIDE ANY CONFLICTING PROVISION IN THESE TERMS:

Your relationship with your End Users is yours alone:

  • ADAComply has no contractual relationship, obligation, or duty of care to your End Users. Your End Users are not users of the Service — they are your customers, and you are our customer.
  • ADAComply provides the Service to you. What you do with the output — including how you package it, price it, brand it, or deliver it to your End Users — is entirely your responsibility.
  • You are solely responsible for your own terms of service, warranties, guarantees, representations, marketing claims, support obligations, and refund policies with your End Users.
  • You must not represent or imply that ADAComply is the provider of your service, that ADAComply endorses your service, or that your End Users have any direct relationship with ADAComply, unless separately agreed in writing.

ADAComply is not liable to your End Users:

  • ADAComply shall have absolutely no liability — whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise — to any of your End Users for any reason, including but not limited to: document quality, compliance failures, processing errors, downtime, data loss, security breaches, or any other claim of any nature.
  • Your End Users may not bring any claim, demand, lawsuit, or action against ADAComply. If an End User attempts to assert a claim against ADAComply, you agree to immediately intervene, assume full responsibility, and indemnify ADAComply per the indemnification provisions in Section 6.
  • ADAComply's total liability to you remains subject to the limitations in Section 4, regardless of how many End Users you serve or how many documents you process on their behalf.

Your obligations as a reseller or integrator:

  • You must include in your own terms of service with your End Users: (a) a disclaimer that document remediation is automated and does not guarantee compliance with any standard; (b) a limitation of liability at least as protective as Section 4 of these Terms; (c) a clause stating that the underlying technology provider (ADAComply) has no liability to the End User.
  • You are solely responsible for handling all End User support, complaints, refund requests, disputes, and chargebacks. ADAComply will not provide support to your End Users under any circumstances.
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring that all documents submitted through your API keys comply with Section 8 (Prohibited Content). If an End User submits prohibited content through your integration, you are liable, not the End User (who has no agreement with ADAComply).
  • You must comply with all applicable laws regarding resale of services, consumer protection, data privacy, and marketing in every jurisdiction where you offer your service to End Users.
  • ADAComply reserves the right to suspend or terminate your API access if your use of the Service generates an unreasonable volume of complaints, chargebacks, legal threats, or abuse reports, regardless of whether such issues originate from you or your End Users.

Indemnification for reseller use:

In addition to the indemnification obligations in Section 6, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ADAComply from and against any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of litigation) arising from or related to:

  • Any claim by any End User, regardless of the nature or basis of the claim;
  • Your marketing, representations, warranties, or guarantees to End Users regarding the Service or its outputs;
  • Your failure to include adequate disclaimers, liability limitations, or terms in your own agreements with End Users;
  • Any regulatory action, fine, or investigation arising from how you deliver, market, or sell services built on the Service;
  • Any data breach, privacy violation, or security incident affecting End User data that occurs within your systems or under your control;
  • Prohibited content submitted by any End User through your API keys.

19. Service Availability

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • ADAComply does not guarantee any level of uptime, availability, or performance. The Service is provided on an "as available" basis.
  • The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, system failures, third-party outages, or other causes beyond ADAComply's control.
  • ADAComply shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by the Service being unavailable, slow, or interrupted.
  • No service level agreement (SLA) is provided unless separately agreed to in a signed written agreement between you and ADAComply.
  • ADAComply reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify active users of significant changes, but are not obligated to do so.

20. Copyright Complaints and Takedown Requests

ADAComply respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content processed or stored through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to us that includes:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
  • Identification of the material on the Service that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it;
  • Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email address);
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

ADAComply will review valid takedown requests and may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. ADAComply is not a public content hosting platform — documents are submitted by authenticated users for private processing. We will notify the account holder who submitted the document and may provide them an opportunity to respond. ADAComply reserves the right to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

21. Force Majeure

ADAComply shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond ADAComply's reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, flood, earthquakes, accidents, strikes, labor disputes, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, third-party service provider outages or discontinuation, government actions or regulations, or any other event that could not have been reasonably foreseen or prevented.

During a force majeure event, ADAComply's obligations under these Terms are suspended for the duration of the event. If a force majeure event continues for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, either party may terminate these Terms upon written notice to the other party. In the event of termination due to force majeure, ADAComply's sole obligation shall be to refund any prepaid credits for services not yet rendered, prorated to the date of termination.

22. Data Processing and Compliance

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • ADAComply processes documents on your behalf as a data processor (or "service provider" under applicable law). You are the data controller (or "business") responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing any personal data contained within your documents.
  • If your use of the Service involves personal data subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or any other data protection regulation, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a lawful basis for processing such data and that your use of the Service complies with applicable law.
  • ADAComply will enter into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) upon written request for customers who require one for regulatory compliance. DPAs are available by contacting ADAComply directly.
  • ADAComply implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect User Content during processing and storage. However, no system is completely secure, and ADAComply does not guarantee that User Content will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any safeguards.
  • In the event of a security breach affecting your data, ADAComply will notify you within a commercially reasonable time and cooperate with your incident response efforts. ADAComply shall not be liable for breaches caused by your own actions, your End Users' actions, or vulnerabilities in documents you submitted.

23. Termination

ADAComply may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Any credits remaining in your account at the time of termination for cause (violation of these Terms) are forfeited without refund. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution provisions.

24. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan. You irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

25. Class Action Waiver

YOU AND ADACOMPLY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

You agree to waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against ADAComply, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates. Unless both you and ADAComply agree otherwise in writing, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution section shall be null and void (but all other provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect).

26. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

27. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ADAComply regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. ADAComply's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
