These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the LEWCA plugin and the lewca.com website, operated by Merkra (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By installing the LEWCA plugin or using our website, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

LEWCA is a WordPress accessibility plugin that provides an accessibility toolbar, WCAG scanning, and related tools. LEWCA is offered in two tiers:

• Free: Full accessibility toolbar, WCAG scanning, accessibility score tracking, 8 disability profiles, translation support, text-to-speech, dictionary, and accessibility statement generator. No payment or account required.
• Pro: All free features plus AI-powered code fix suggestions, scheduled scanning, compliance report exports, bulk fix workflows, email notifications, and saved toolbar layouts. Requires an active paid license.

2. License and Usage Rights

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use LEWCA on the number of WordPress sites covered by your license tier. Free users may install LEWCA on unlimited sites. Pro licenses are issued per-site or per multi-site bundle as specified at the time of purchase.

You may not:

• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the Pro version of LEWCA without written authorization
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of server-side Pro features
• Use LEWCA for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices or labels in the plugin

3. Free Trial

We offer a 7-day free trial of Pro features. No credit card is required to start a trial. Each WordPress domain is eligible for one trial. After the trial period, Pro features will be disabled unless you purchase a license. Your site’s content and free features are not affected when a trial expires.

4. Payment and Billing

• Pro licenses are billed annually. Current pricing is listed at lewca.com/pricing.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider. We do not store your credit card information.
• Licenses renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
• You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

5. Refund Policy

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all Pro license purchases. For full details, see our Refund Policy.

6. Accessibility Disclaimer

LEWCA helps identify and remediate many common accessibility issues, but no automated tool can guarantee legal outcomes or standards conformance on its own. Manual review and ongoing accessibility practices remain important. LEWCA is a tool to assist with accessibility — it is not a substitute for professional accessibility auditing, legal advice, or compliance certification.

7. Intellectual Property

LEWCA, including its code, design, documentation, and branding, is owned by Merkra and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The free version of LEWCA is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2) as required for WordPress.org distribution. Pro features are proprietary and subject to these Terms.

8. User Content and Data

You retain ownership of all content on your WordPress site. LEWCA processes your content locally for scanning and analysis purposes. For AI fix features (Pro), small code snippets are transmitted to our servers for processing as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not claim any ownership over your content.

9. Service Availability

We strive to maintain reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of lewca.com, license validation, or AI fix processing. The free version’s core functionality (toolbar, scanning, profiles) operates entirely within your WordPress installation and does not depend on our servers being available.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

LEWCA is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that LEWCA will meet your specific requirements, that results will be accurate or reliable, or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Merkra shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of LEWCA. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to Pro features if you violate these Terms. You may stop using LEWCA at any time by deactivating and uninstalling the plugin. Upon uninstallation, LEWCA removes its settings and data from your WordPress database (scan results, scores, and configuration).

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of LEWCA after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
