Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-26

Draft — pending legal review. This page is a plain-language summary, not final legal text.

1. What this service does

Site Review Scout gives business owners an automated check-up and score for their website, and helps web-design agencies and freelancers find local businesses with weak, missing, or outdated websites and audit them.

2. Business data

Local business listings shown in search results are sourced from the Overture Maps Foundation, licensed under CDLA-Permissive-2.0. This data is provided as-is: we make no guarantee that it is accurate, complete, or current for any given business. See Data sources for attribution details.

3. Audits and scanning

Audits are produced by automatically requesting and analyzing a business's public website. We cannot guarantee that scanning will succeed — a site may block automated requests, be temporarily unreachable, or return incomplete content. If a site cannot be scanned, that audit is not charged.

An audit is an automated estimate based on deterministic, rule-based checks. It is not professional advice (legal, marketing, technical, or otherwise), and every score traces back to a specific, disclosed rule — never an unexplained "black box" number.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the scanning tools to abuse, overload, or attack any website, including ones you don't own.
  • Attempt to bypass rate limits, quotas, or per-origin crawl limits.
  • Use business contact information obtained through the service in a way that violates applicable law (for example, unsolicited communications law such as CAN-SPAM or TCPA).
  • Resell or redistribute raw audit or business data outside of your normal use of the product.

5. Accounts, workspaces, and credits

Every account belongs to a workspace. Credits are purchased or granted per workspace, are non-transferable between workspaces, and are consumed when a full audit runs (except when your own workspace already has a fresh audit for that site, in which case it's shown at no charge). Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card details ourselves.

6. Third-party services we use

  • Cloudflare — hosting, our DNS-over-HTTPS resolver (1.1.1.1), and Turnstile bot protection.
  • Internet Archive Wayback Machine — historical snapshots of a site, used to estimate how long it's been since it was meaningfully updated.
  • Public RDAP (via rdap.org) — domain registration date lookups.
  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Google — "Sign in with Google" only. We do not use any Google Maps Platform data, and there is no Places API integration anywhere in this product.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes bump the version number at the top of this page, and we may ask you to re-accept the current version.
