Terms & Conditions

Last updated: June 2025

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before placing an order with Open Door Digital. By requesting a free homepage check, placing an order, or making a payment, you agree to be bound by these terms.

These Terms & Conditions are governed by Irish law and are intended to comply with the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and all other applicable Irish and EU consumer protection legislation.

1. About us

Open Door Digital ("we", "us", "our") provides website accessibility audit services to businesses in Ireland and beyond. Our contact details are:

2. Our services

We offer the following services:

  • Free Homepage Check: A complimentary automated scan of your homepage that identifies common accessibility issues and produces a summary report. This is provided free of charge with no obligation.
  • Small Site Audit (€195): A comprehensive WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit covering up to 5 pages of your website, including a prioritised PDF report, a Developer Fix Guide, and a draft Accessibility Statement.
  • Standard Audit (€345): As above, covering up to 15 pages. Suitable for businesses with a full web presence.
  • Large Site Audit (€545): As above, covering up to 30 pages, and including two user journey audits (e.g. checkout, booking, or login). Suitable for e-commerce stores, booking-heavy sites, and larger organisations.

User journey testing is included in the Large Site Audit and available as an add-on to the Small and Standard audits at €150 per journey. Existing customers may also add an Annual Compliance Check re-audit at €149 per year.

The specific pages audited are selected by us based on the most important user journeys on your site. If you have specific pages you would like included, please let us know at the time of ordering.

3. Ordering and payment

All paid audits must be paid in full at the time of ordering. Payment is processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your card details. All payment data is handled directly by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant.

Your order is confirmed once payment has been successfully completed. You will receive a confirmation email to the address you provided.

All prices are quoted in Euro (€) and are exclusive of VAT. If VAT applies to your order, it will be shown at checkout.

4. Delivery

We aim to deliver your completed audit report within the timescales stated on our pricing page at the time of order. Current turnaround times are:

  • Small Site Audit: within 3 business days of payment
  • Standard Audit: within 5 business days of payment
  • Large Site Audit: within 7 business days of payment

Reports are delivered by email to the address provided at checkout. Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding Irish public holidays. If we anticipate a delay for any reason, we will notify you by email as soon as possible.

5. What is included in your audit

Paid audits include:

  • A scored, prioritised accessibility report in PDF format, written in plain English
  • Issues classified as Critical, Major, Normal, or Minor, with a description and recommended fix for each
  • A Developer Fix Guide your web team can work through directly
  • A draft Accessibility Statement you can publish on your website
  • One free re-scan after you have implemented fixes, to confirm compliance

Audits do not include remediation work. We identify and document issues, but we do not fix them ourselves. We can recommend developers if you need assistance finding someone to implement the fixes.

6. Scope and limitations

Our audits assess the publicly accessible pages of your website against WCAG 2.2 Level AA criteria. The following are outside the scope of our standard audits unless separately agreed in writing:

  • Pages behind a login or paywall
  • Native mobile applications
  • Third-party embedded tools or widgets (e.g. booking systems, chat tools, payment widgets hosted by another provider)
  • Downloadable documents such as PDFs (unless specifically agreed)
  • Content published after the audit date

Our audit identifies accessibility issues present at the time the audit is conducted. We cannot guarantee that all accessibility issues on your website will be identified, as no audit methodology, automated or manual, achieves 100% coverage. You should treat the audit as a significant step towards compliance, not a guarantee of it.

7. Not legal advice

Our reports and communications do not constitute legal advice. We provide technical accessibility assessments and practical guidance on WCAG 2.2 AA conformance. The European Accessibility Act and its Irish implementation are legal matters, so if you require advice on your specific legal obligations or exposure, you should consult a qualified solicitor.

Implementing the fixes identified in our report significantly reduces your legal risk, but we cannot guarantee that doing so will make you fully compliant with all applicable law in all circumstances.

8. Your responsibilities

By placing an order, you confirm that:

  • You have authority to authorise an accessibility audit of the website URL you provide
  • The website URL you provide is correct and the site is publicly accessible
  • You will provide us with reasonable assistance if we need access to specific pages or user journeys to complete the audit

If the website you submit is inaccessible, taken offline, or significantly changed during the audit period, we may need to pause or restart the audit. We will contact you if this occurs.

9. Cancellation and refunds

As our audit services involve significant manual and automated work that begins promptly after payment, we operate the following refund policy:

  • Cancellation before audit begins: If you notify us by email at hello@opendoordigital.ie before we have begun work on your audit, we will issue a full refund within 5 business days.
  • Cancellation after audit begins: Once work has begun, we are unable to issue a refund. We will always notify you by email when your audit has started.
  • Report not delivered on time: If we fail to deliver your report within the stated turnaround time (and you have not requested a scope change), you are entitled to a full refund.
  • Quality concerns: If you believe your report contains a significant error or omission, please contact us within 14 days of delivery. We will review the matter and, where appropriate, correct the report at no additional charge.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights under Irish consumer protection law.

10. Intellectual property

Once you have paid for an audit and received your report, you own the report and may use it however you wish: share it with your developer, publish it, use it in a tender, or provide it to a regulator.

You may not resell our reports or represent them as your own work without our written permission. Our brand, website, tooling, and report templates remain our intellectual property.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, our liability to you in connection with any audit or service is limited to the amount you paid us for that specific audit.

We are not liable for:

  • Any loss of business, revenue, profit, or contracts
  • Any indirect or consequential loss
  • Any regulatory fines, enforcement action, or legal costs you incur in connection with accessibility compliance
  • Issues arising from third-party components of your website that are outside the scope of your audit
  • Issues that arise or are introduced after the audit date

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited by Irish law.

12. Confidentiality

We treat your audit report and all information about your website as confidential. We will not share your report with any third party without your permission, except where required by law.

We may use anonymised, aggregated data about common accessibility issues we encounter to improve our service or produce general industry content. We will never identify your business or website in any public content without your written consent.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The version in effect at the time you place your order will apply to that order. We will publish any material changes on this page and update the "last updated" date above.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

If you have a complaint about our service, please contact us first at hello@opendoordigital.ie. We aim to resolve all complaints within 5 business days. If we cannot resolve your complaint directly, you may be entitled to use an alternative dispute resolution scheme. We will advise you of your options at that stage.
