Guidebot service

Guidebot makes efforts to ensure that its Products enable the Licensee's Website to comply with the WCAG 2.1 criteria (the "WCAG Standard").

When the widget is embedded in the Licensee's Website, the Licensee's Website will make available user-controllable helper options that allow the Licensee's Website to be more easily accessible to certain users.

If you provide us with written notice of any error or deviation from the WCAG standard, we may assist you in correcting such error or deviation (the "Professional Services"). Any such notice of violation shall be as specific and accurate as possible and shall include a link to the component of the Licensee Purchaser Site that is not accessible. Without limiting the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, we undertake to use reasonable efforts to
(a) provide you with professional services;
(b) advise you on the suitability of your Website;
(c) deal with and remedy such breaches within the technical capabilities of our Products, provided however that in any event you shall be solely responsible for complying with our instructions.
