Terms & Conditions
Web Standards Auditor by Agate Business Consulting
By installing or using Web Standards Auditor, you agree to use it as an informational website audit tool. The results are guidance for review and remediation, not a legal, regulatory, or certification guarantee.
1. About the Extension
Web Standards Auditor is a Chrome extension that scans the active web page and provides issue reports related to accessibility, SEO, performance, security, privacy, and web standards. It is intended for developers, consultants, website owners, QA teams, and digital marketing professionals.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By using the extension, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the extension.
3. Permitted Use
You may use the extension to:
- Scan websites that you own, manage, test, or are authorized to review.
- Generate reports for internal review, client review, QA, SEO, accessibility, or remediation planning.
- Export reports for legitimate business or technical purposes.
4. Prohibited Use
You must not use the extension to:
- Violate any applicable law, contract, or website terms.
- Misrepresent audit findings as official certification or legal compliance approval.
- Attempt to reverse engineer, tamper with, or misuse the extension.
- Use generated reports to make false, misleading, or defamatory claims.
5. Accuracy and Limitations
The extension provides automated checks based on the information available to a browser extension. Automated checks may produce false positives or false negatives. Some checks, especially server-header security checks, legal compliance checks, or advanced accessibility review, may require manual verification or server-side inspection.
6. No Professional or Legal Advice
Reports generated by the extension are informational. They do not constitute legal advice, regulatory certification, accessibility certification, SEO guarantee, security certification, or professional assurance.
7. User Responsibility
You are responsible for validating findings, prioritizing remediation, and deciding how reports are used or shared. You should review reports before sending them to third parties because they may include URLs, page structure, or snippets from the scanned website.
8. Intellectual Property
Web Standards Auditor, its branding, design, scripts, and documentation are owned by or licensed to Agate Business Consulting, except for third-party libraries included under their applicable licenses.
9. Third-Party Libraries
The extension may include packaged third-party JavaScript libraries for report rendering or export. These libraries are included locally in the extension package and remain subject to their respective licenses.
10. Warranty Disclaimer
The extension is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Agate Business Consulting does not warrant that the extension will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for every website or compliance requirement.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Agate Business Consulting will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or loss-of-business damages arising from the use of the extension or reliance on generated reports.
