Terms of service

# Terms for using Webcheck

These terms are an agreement between you and Webcheck (“we”, “us”). By requesting a scan, buying a report or otherwise using webcheck.sh, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.

## The short version

A plain-language summary for convenience. The full terms below are what apply.

* **A checklist, not a guarantee**

  Reports describe issues found. They do not promise rankings, compliance or certification.
* **Only scan sites you may scan**

  Submit websites you own or are authorized to check.
* **One-time $5, no subscription**

  The full report includes five rescans of the same domain.
* **Your report link is private**

  Anyone with the link can view the report. Keep it safe.
* **Provided as-is during early launch**

  Our liability is limited, as described in sections 10 and 11.
* **California law applies**

  Disputes are handled in California courts, with small claims available.

## 1 About these terms

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Webcheck. If you use Webcheck on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.

Our [Privacy Policy](https://webcheck.sh/privacy) explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these terms.

## 2 What Webcheck does

Webcheck is a preflight checklist for websites. It runs automated checks against publicly available information, such as web pages, HTTP responses, DNS records and robots.txt, and produces a report describing what it observed.

Checks sample pages and links and reflect the website at the time of the scan. Results can change as the website, its hosting or third-party services change.

## 3 What reports are not

Reports describe issues found. They are not guarantees of search rankings, AEO performance, AI rankings or citations, agent conversions, email inbox placement, WCAG or ADA compliance, or security certification.

Reports are not legal, compliance, security or professional advice, and are not a penetration test or audit. Some findings depend on your website’s purpose and may not apply to you. You are responsible for deciding whether and how to act on any finding.

## 4 Acceptable use

Only submit websites that you own or are authorized to scan. You agree not to: use Webcheck to harm, harass or gain unauthorized access to any system; attempt to disrupt, overload or reverse engineer the service; bypass payment or access controls; or use the service in violation of any law.

You are responsible for the websites and email address you submit.

## 5 Payments and rescans

The scan summary is free. A one-time payment of $5 unlocks the full report and mitigation plan for the scanned domain and includes five rescans of that domain. This is not a subscription and you will not be charged again unless you make another purchase.

Payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe’s own terms. Prices are shown in US dollars and may change for future purchases, but not for a purchase already made.

If the full report does not unlock after a confirmed payment, contact us and we will fix the problem or refund you.

## 6 Your report

Each report is available from a private link that contains an access token. Anyone with the link can view the report, so keep it confidential. We are not responsible for access by people you share the link with.

You may use, copy and share your report for your own purposes, including with the people who build or maintain your website.

## 7 Our service and content

We and our licensors own Webcheck, including its software, checks, scoring methods, design and report templates. Except for the rights to your report described above, these terms do not grant you any rights in them.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

## 8 Third-party services

Webcheck relies on third parties, including Stripe for payments and analytics providers on our public pages. Reports may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for third-party services or content.

## 9 Availability and changes to the service

The service is in early launch. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time. If we discontinue the service while you have unused rescans, we will refund your purchase upon request.

## 10 Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEBCHECK, THE SCAN SUMMARY AND THE FULL REPORT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT WILL FIND EVERY ISSUE.

## 11 Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEBCHECK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR ANY REPORT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR US $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

## 12 Indemnity

If you use Webcheck for business purposes, you agree to defend and indemnify Webcheck against third-party claims arising from websites you submit without authorization or from your breach of these terms.

## 13 Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or use the service in a way that could harm us, other users or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive, including those on disclaimers, liability and governing law, survive termination.

## 14 Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page. Changes apply to use of the service after they are posted and do not apply to purchases made before the change.

## 15 Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any dispute informally.

Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and both parties consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may bring an eligible claim in small claims court.

## 16 Notice to California residents

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

## 17 General

These terms and the [Privacy Policy](https://webcheck.sh/privacy) are the entire agreement between you and Webcheck about the service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
