No Legal Advice: Grova Tech is a technology engineering firm, not a law firm. Our audit reports, VPATs (Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates), ACRs, and remediation recommendations do not constitute formal legal counsel.

Point-in-Time Evaluation: Accessibility compliance is an ongoing operational commitment. Digital products, dynamic content, and third-party plugins change continuously. Our audit reports reflect testing performed strictly on the specific URLs, components, and dates documented. Grova Tech cannot and does not guarantee complete immunity from frivolous or third-party accessibility-related lawsuits, administrative complaints, or enforcement actions.

Grova Tech grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such pre-existing materials solely as incorporated into the delivered project.
