This page explains exactly how that ranking works so the score and the fix list are predictable, not magic.","scoreSection":{"title":"What the 0–100 score means","body":"Every page is scored 0 to 100. A page with zero detected violations scores 100. After that, we subtract a weighted penalty: 15 points for each critical violation, 8 for serious, 3 for moderate, 1 for minor — capped so no single page can fall below zero. The site score is the average across the pages we scanned. The score is deterministic: the same page always produces the same number."},"riskSection":{"title":"How we rate legal risk","body":"Legal risk is high, medium, or low. We blend axe-core's severity with how aggressively European Accessibility Act enforcement bodies treat each WCAG criterion. Missing alt text, low contrast, unlabeled controls, language declarations, and keyboard traps are always high risk — those are the issues that show up first in formal complaints. Structural best-practice issues (heading order, landmark uniqueness) are low risk: real but unlikely to trigger enforcement."},"effortSection":{"title":"How we estimate fix effort","body":"Effort is trivial, quick, medium, or larger. Trivial means one attribute or one CSS value (\"add alt to this image\"). Quick is a small edit in one component. Medium needs product or design judgement — copy decisions, focus order, navigation chrome. Larger means a structural refactor. We bias toward the lower estimate when we're unsure so the list reflects what you can actually ship today."},"rankSection":{"title":"Why we rank issues, not just list them","body":"An unsorted list of 40 violations is paralysing. We sort the list so the single best next fix is on top: highest legal risk, then cheapest to fix at that risk level, then axe's own severity as the tiebreak. Two issues that compare equal use a stable internal key so the order never flips between runs. \"X fixes to reach 100%\" tells you how many items separate you from a clean scan."},"colorSection":{"title":"Why we never use colour alone","body":"Severity and effort are shown with both an icon and a translated word — never colour alone. WCAG 1.4.1 forbids relying on colour to convey information, so a tool that flags WCAG violations using only red and green would be ironic and unusable."},"verdictSection":{"title":"The reassurance message","body":"Compliance work feels intimidating; we want the verdict to feel like a punch list, not a verdict. When you score 100 with zero issues we celebrate it (\"You're at 100. Nothing's blocking you.\"). Otherwise we tell you how far you are and how many fixes stand between you and a clean run."},"previewSection":{"title":"See it on your page","body":"Open any fix and we'll show you a screenshot of your page with the offending element outlined, so you don't have to dig through HTML. The image is a full-page capture taken at the moment of the scan; the highlight uses the same coordinates the scanner measured, so what you see is exactly where the issue is.

Both are dated, deterministic, and downloadable as PDFs.","statementTitle":"What's an accessibility statement?","statementBody":"An accessibility statement is the public-facing document the European Accessibility Act expects you to publish. It says which standard you're targeting (WCAG 2.2 AA), what your current conformance status is, lists known issues, and tells visitors how to give feedback or escalate to a national enforcement authority. Use it on a /accessibility page, in your footer, or wherever your privacy and terms live.","vpatTitle":"What's a VPAT?","vpatBody":"A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is the procurement-facing document. Enterprise buyers and EU public-sector RFPs almost always ask for one before signing.

Automated testing typically catches about 30–40% of accessibility barriers — colour contrast, missing alt text, mislabeled controls, ARIA misuse.

By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.","sections":[{"heading":"1. What the Service is","body":"EAA Compliance Scanner is an automated tool that scans web pages for accessibility issues against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 and 2.2), produces a score and plain-English fixes, generates VPAT and accessibility-statement documents, and can monitor sites on a schedule. The Service is NOT a legal accessibility audit, a manual expert review, or a certification of conformance with WCAG, the EU Accessibility Act, EN 301 549, the ADA, or any other law. Automated testing detects only a subset of accessibility barriers; manual testing and human judgement are still required."},{"heading":"2. Eligibility and accounts","body":"You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account, including activity initiated by a magic sign-in link sent to your email."},{"heading":"3. Authorized scanning","body":"You may only submit URLs for sites that you own or that you are explicitly authorized to test. You are solely responsible for having the right to scan any address you enter. You will not use the Service to attack, overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to any system, and you will respect target sites' technical limits. Scanning fetches and renders pages and may capture screenshots of the pages you submit."},{"heading":"4. License to the output","body":"Subject to these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, EAA Compliance Scanner grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the scan results, reports, VPAT documents, and accessibility statements generated for your own and your clients' lawful purposes. We retain all rights in the underlying software, rule engine, templates, and branding."},{"heading":"5. Fees, billing, and auto-renewal","body":"Paid plans are billed by Polar Software Inc., our merchant of record, in the currency displayed at checkout. Subscriptions renew automatically at the displayed interval until you cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and does not refund the current period except as set out in the Refund Policy."},{"heading":"6. No conformance guarantee","body":"Accessibility scores, issue counts, severity ratings, and legal-risk indicators shown in the Service are automated estimates for your reference only. A perfect or high score does NOT mean a site conforms to WCAG, the EU Accessibility Act, or any other standard, and a VPAT or accessibility statement generated by the Service is a self-assessment based on automated results, not an independent certification. Consult a qualified accessibility professional before making any conformance claim."},{"heading":"7.

Indemnification","body":"You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EAA Compliance Scanner and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or damages, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, the URLs you submit, your lack of authorization to scan a target, or your breach of these Terms."},{"heading":"10. Suspension and termination","body":"We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (fees owed, warranty disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law) will survive."},{"heading":"11. Governing law and dispute resolution","body":"These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings locally. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm the governing-law jurisdiction with your lawyer before launch.] Billing disputes relating to payments are handled by Polar Software Inc. as merchant of record."},{"heading":"12.
