Legal disclaimer
How to read a Complidar report.
Complidar is an automated diagnostic tool. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Nothing in our reports constitutes legal advice, an attorney–client relationship, a certification of compliance, or a substitute for the judgment of qualified counsel. Consult a licensed attorney admitted in your jurisdiction before relying on any finding.
What the Report is
The Report identifies indicators of potential legal risk on the public-facing surfaces of the domain you submitted. Our detectors look for patterns associated with previously litigated theories — CCPA disclosures, ADA Title III barriers, VPPA tracker placement, ROSCA auto-renewal language, TCPA consent language, and so on. A pattern match is a signal that the same pattern appeared in cases that settled or went to verdict; it is not a determination that you have violated any law.
Our cited settlements describe outcomes in matters with their own specific facts, parties, and jurisdictions. They are sourced from PACER federal dockets, state attorney–general enforcement releases, FTC consent decrees, DOJ ADA settlement letters, and approved class-action verdicts. They are not predictions about the outcome of any matter affecting your business.
Liability ranges
The “estimated liability exposure” range on a Report is the 25th-to-75th-percentile (interquartile) range of the settlement amounts from the cases in our database whose violation code matches a finding on your site, counting each distinct settlement once. It is a comparable-settlement range, not a calculation of your own exposure. It is illustrative, not adjudicative: it does not predict what you would pay if sued, settle, or be assessed in a regulatory enforcement action, and it does not scale with the number of pages we crawled. Your actual exposure depends on facts we cannot see from outside your site — size of class, length of violation, state of mind, prior enforcement history, and more.
Confidence scores and false positives
Each detector emits a confidence score. We only surface findings above a threshold (currently 0.7). Even above that line, false positives happen — for example, a detector might flag a third-party tracker as a VPPA risk on a site that has no video content, or flag an “auto” substring in ToS copy that doesn’t actually describe auto-renewal. Treat every finding as a question to bring to counsel, not a verdict.
The Fix-It-For-Me service
The Fix-It-For-Me service delivers AI-generated draft remediation copy that our team reviews before delivery. We are not your attorney; the drafts are starting points for your counsel to review and approve. We will tell you if a draft is making assumptions that your counsel needs to confirm.
Domains you do not own
You may only submit domains you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Submitting an unauthorized domain may violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030) or analogous laws in your jurisdiction. See our Terms of Service for the full eligible-use clause.
This disclaimer is provided in good faith. It is not itself legal advice. If you have a question about how a finding affects your business, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
