Terms of service

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These terms are between you and Variantly (“Variantly”, “we”), the operator of variantly.app. They cover the website, the free scan, the reviewer check, the accessibility statement generator, the directory, the paid plans (the ACR package, Starter, Team, Basic and Business) and every report, page and badge produced with them. By using any of them you agree to these terms. If you buy a plan for a company, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it.

2. What Variantly is, and is not

Variantly is a tool. It captures the state of a web product, runs rule checks, proposes values for some criteria with an AI system, and lets a person at your company decide every row and publish the result as an accessibility conformance report on the unmodified ITI VPAT® template with its essential requirements sections. The confirming party named on every report is your company, not Variantly.

We do not certify, guarantee or warrant that a product is accessible, that it complies with any law or standard, or that any buyer will accept a report. A report states what was tested, how, and what was found. A published page is frozen or withdrawn rather than deleted. A badge states the kind of report and its date, never “certified”.

3. Your product, your account, your test account

You may scan only a product you own or are authorised to evaluate. Our captures are read-only and rate-limited. When you give us a test account, its password is sealed with a key we never print, and you can revoke our access at any time by deleting the account or removing it on the Scope page. You are responsible for the permissions of the test account and for the content of the pages we capture.

You must not use Variantly to scan a third party without authorisation, to interfere with the operation of any site, or to publish a report for a product you do not represent.

4. Plans, payment, renewal and refunds

Prices are shown before you pay and on your receipt. The ACR package is a one-time purchase that includes twelve months of the public page and badge. Starter and Team are annual. Basic is monthly. Nothing renews unless you tick the renewal box at checkout; we email you at month eleven, or thirty days before a renewal, and you can untick the box at any time before then on the Billing page.

Every purchase carries a fourteen-day refund, no questions asked. When a plan ends without renewal, the published page stays at its last date and says so. Nothing is deleted.

5. Reports, pages and the directory

You own the reports and pages you publish. You grant us a licence to host them at your permalink, to keep earlier versions in the page's history, and to list a published report's facts (its date, template edition, standard stated and product named) in the directory. You can withdraw a version at any time. Earlier versions remain available to anyone who has the link, and the page never becomes a 404.

The directory lists only reports that companies publish, as facts, with no grade or score. A company can claim, correct or remove its page after verifying its domain.

6. The AI tier

Where an AI system proposes a value, the report says so. Proposals stay private until a person at your company reviews them, and one in five proposals must be opened with its evidence before the report can be published. The evaluation methods paragraph on every report prints the counts of rule-checked, AI-proposed and person-decided rows.

7. Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability under these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for decisions that a buyer, regulator or court makes about your product, for the use of a report outside the product version and date it names, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Changes, ending a plan, governing law

We may change these terms with thirty days' notice by email; continuing to use Variantly after that date is acceptance. Either side may end a plan at the end of its term. These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which Variantly is established, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
