1. SERVICE SCOPE

Provided Service: gooda11y.com provides an online tool that allows users to generate accessibility reports for websites and digital content. This service is designed to help users evaluate and improve the accessibility of their own web projects.

Free of Charge: The Service is currently offered free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce fees or paid features in the future, but any such changes will be communicated in advance and will not retroactively affect the use of the Service before the change.

You acknowledge that access to the Service is provided on an "as available" basis.

No Data Backups or Retrieval: Users have no entitlement to backups or retrieval of their data stored on the Service. We do not provide backup services for any reports or data you create or upload. It is your responsibility to save and secure any important data or output from the Service on your own devices. We are not liable for any loss of data or content that you do not independently back up.

Breaking Changes: We reserve the right that a major release will lead to a new data structure and the old results will not be automatically transferred to the new release (breaking change).

This means you must not use the Service to engage in fraud, violate intellectual property rights, distribute unlawful content, or otherwise breach any law.

Proper Use and No Spam: You must not misuse the Service. No spam, malicious activity, or abuse is allowed. You agree not to upload malware, attempt to disrupt or hack the platform, send unsolicited bulk messages, or engage in any activity that could harm the Service's functionality or other users' experience.

Data Privacy and No Sale of Personal Data: We collect certain user data as necessary to operate and improve the Service (for example, usage statistics or account information). However, we will never sell your personal data to third parties. Any personal information you provide to gooda11y.com will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. We will not share your data with others except as needed to provide the Service, comply with the law, or protect our rights.

Local Consumer Laws: If you are using the Service as a consumer (for personal, non-business purposes) in a member state of the European Union, you may also have certain rights or protections under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country. These Terms do not override those protections if they apply.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable under German law, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full effect.
