Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about website legal risk, ADA compliance, and how TDARI works.
Is my website ADA compliant? expand_more
Most websites are not fully ADA compliant. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, websites that serve the public must be accessible to people with disabilities. TDARI's free scanner checks your site across WCAG 2.2 AA standards, security headers, privacy tracking, and TCPA compliance — giving you a comprehensive risk score in under 60 seconds.
What is a website accessibility lawsuit? expand_more
A website accessibility lawsuit is a legal action filed when a website fails to comply with ADA Title III requirements. Plaintiffs (often people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities) allege that inaccessible websites deny them equal access. In 2025, over 4,000 digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in federal courts. The average settlement ranges from $5,000 to $25,000.
How does TDARI calculate my risk score? expand_more
TDARI uses a weighted composite scoring formula across 4 modules: WCAG accessibility (40%), privacy & tracking compliance (25%), TCPA telephone rules (20%), and security headers (15%). Each module runs automated checks and produces a pass/fail result. The composite score is then cross-referenced against real federal lawsuit data from 25,000+ court filings.
What does the TDARI scanner check? expand_more
The TDARI scanner performs four categories of checks: (1) ADA/WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility violations using axe-core across multiple pages, (2) HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), (3) privacy & tracking scripts (Meta Pixel, GA4, session replay, cookie consent), and (4) TCPA telephone compliance (consent checkboxes, opt-out language on phone-collecting forms).
Is the TDARI legal risk scan free? expand_more
Yes — the initial scan and risk score are completely free. You can scan any website and receive a composite risk score, risk breakdown across all 4 modules, and the top 2 accessibility violations. Enter your business email to unlock the full report with all violations, AI-powered fix steps, real lawsuit precedents, and a downloadable PDF guide.
What is TCPA compliance for websites? expand_more
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) regulates how businesses collect and use phone numbers. Websites with forms that collect phone numbers must include explicit consent language, provide opt-out mechanisms, and clearly disclose how the number will be used. Violations can result in $500–$1,500 per incident in statutory damages.
How often should I scan my website for legal risk? expand_more
We recommend re-scanning at least every 30 days, or after any significant website update. Legal compliance requirements evolve constantly — new lawsuits establish precedents, browser updates change security requirements, and tracker scripts get updated by third parties. TDARI sends automatic 7-day re-scan reminders to keep you informed.
What should I do if my website has a high risk score? expand_more
A high risk score means your website has significant legal exposure across multiple compliance categories. Immediate steps: (1) Review the specific violations in your TDARI report, (2) Implement the AI-powered fix steps provided for each issue, (3) Consider installing an accessibility widget like UserWay or accessiBe for quick remediation, (4) Consult with an ADA defense attorney if you've already received a demand letter.
How is TDARI different from WAVE or axe? expand_more
WAVE and axe are excellent accessibility-only scanners. TDARI is a 4-module legal risk platform that goes beyond accessibility to include security headers, privacy tracking, and TCPA compliance — all in one scan. What makes TDARI unique is our cross-reference with 25,000+ real federal court filings, showing you actual lawsuit precedents that match your specific failures. No other scanner provides litigation context.
Does TDARI provide legal advice? expand_more
No. TDARI is an informational tool, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. Our reports use data from public federal court records and automated technical scans to highlight potential compliance gaps. For legal guidance specific to your situation, we recommend consulting with a qualified ADA defense attorney. TDARI can connect you with vetted legal professionals through our referral network.
