Terms of Service
Last updated 26 August 2026
These terms govern your use of Wellform, an API operated by Media Yard LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("we", "us"). By creating an account or sending a request with an API key, you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it.
1. The service
Wellform accepts HTML and returns a PDF, together with a report describing which accessibility checks the document passed. Available output variants and plan limits are described on our pricing page and may change; we will give notice of material reductions to a paid plan.
2. Accounts and API keys
You are responsible for everything done with your API keys, including usage and charges incurred by anyone who obtains them. Keys are shown once at creation and stored by us only as irreversible hashes โ we cannot recover a lost key and can only issue a replacement. Notify us promptly at support@wellform.dev if you believe a key has been exposed.
3. Your content
You keep all rights to the HTML you send and the PDFs we return. You grant us only the limited licence needed to process a request and, where you ask us to store the result, to hold it on your behalf. We do not use your content to train models. See the AI policy.
You are responsible for having the right to send us what you send, including any personal data it contains. Where your content includes personal data, you act as controller and we act as processor; the privacy policy describes how we handle it.
4. Acceptable use
You may not use Wellform to produce or distribute material that is unlawful; to infringe intellectual property; to generate documents designed to impersonate a person or organisation, or to pass as an official record they did not issue; to attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or those of others, including through crafted markup or asset URLs; or to circumvent plan limits, rate limits or usage metering.
We may suspend an account that is causing harm to the service or to third parties. Where circumstances allow, we will tell you first.
5. Fees and billing
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through Stripe. Prices are in US dollars and exclusive of any tax we are required to collect. Your plan's document allowance resets at the start of each billing period and unused documents do not carry over.
You may cancel at any time from the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and the account reverts to the Free plan rather than being closed. Fees already paid are not refundable, except where required by law or where we have failed to provide the service and cannot remedy it.
A request that does not produce a document is not counted against your allowance and is not billed.
6. Conformance is a measurement, not a legal opinion
This section matters more than the rest, so it is worth reading closely.
Wellform evaluates the checks in the PDF/UA standard that a machine can evaluate. A great many accessibility requirements cannot be verified automatically by anyone โ whether alternative text is meaningful, whether reading order matches intent, whether a table's structure reflects its actual meaning. Those depend on judgement about content we cannot see into.
A conformant result therefore means this document passed the machine-verifiable checks. It is not a certification, an audit, or advice that you comply with the European Accessibility Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 508, WCAG, or any other law or standard. Compliance depends on your content and your circumstances. If you need assurance, engage a qualified accessibility auditor. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
7. Availability
We work to keep Wellform available and fast, but we do not currently offer a contractual uptime commitment. The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue parts of it. For material changes affecting paid plans we will give at least 30 days' notice to your account email.
8. Warranties and liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that output will satisfy any legal or regulatory requirement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these terms is limited to the greater of one hundred US dollars (US$100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
9. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your content, your use of the service in breach of these terms, or your violation of law or the rights of others.
10. Termination
You may stop using the service at any time. We may terminate or suspend access for material breach of these terms, for non-payment, or if required by law. On termination your right to use the service ends; sections 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 11 survive.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in New Jersey have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and both parties consent to venue there.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced by email to your account address at least 30 days before they take effect, and the date at the top of this page will change. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the revised terms.
