By accessing layoutguard.com (the “Site”), submitting any form (incl. “Request risk snapshot”), or purchasing services from LayoutGuard (“we”, “us”), you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you act on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorized to bind that company.

3) Services & Scope

We offer the following (each a “Service”):

A) Display-Only RTL/Arabic UI Audits

We evaluate visual/UI display aspects, including: directionality & mirroring, LTR islands (URLs/emails/code), numerals & punctuation by market, truncation/overflow/clipping, calendars/dates display, form typing display behavior, icon orientation, typography/line-height, and basic display a11y (e.g., lang="ar", focus order).
Out of scope: code implementation, backend/validation/security, performance, full WCAG audits, legal/compliance opinions, or anything not explicitly listed in an applicable order form/statement of work (“SoW”).

B) Terms Consistency & Translation Audits (Main Keys)

We review key UI strings (“Keys”) for consistency and correctness of implementation, including:

  • Terminology consistency against a provided or jointly created TermBase;
  • Placeholders & tags parity (e.g., {count}, %s, HTML/ICU segments) and DNT (“Do Not Translate”) adherence;
  • ICU/message format integrity, punctuation, and market-appropriate numerals;
  • Style & tone consistency per an agreed Style Guide;
  • Cross-locale consistency for targeted Arabic locales (e.g., ar-SA, ar-MA).

Important limits: This is not creative re-translation or full linguistic QA of all content. We flag inconsistencies, policy breaches, and risky patterns and propose corrections for the audited Keys. You (or your vendor) apply final translations/changes.

Deliverables (as applicable)

  • Audit 1-pager (summary of findings & risks),
  • CSV fix-list (key → issue → proposal → priority → evidence link),
  • Annotated screenshots (for display audits),
  • TermBase v1.0 and/or Style Guide v0.9 (when included in scope),
  • Gate Summary (pass/hold) for release-gate engagements.
    Exact scope/artifacts are defined in your SoW.

4) Your Responsibilities

Provide timely access to the nominated screens/flows/locales, screenshots or staging as agreed, and a single point of contact for decisions. You are responsible for applying fixes and for your product’s compliance and operation.

5) Scheduling, Changes & Cancellations

We plan timelines in the SoW/order form. If scope inputs are late or change, timelines move accordingly. Either party may request reasonable changes to scope; fees/timelines will be adjusted by mutual confirmation (email is sufficient unless the SoW requires a formal change order).Checklists, Style Guide if available. Delays/missing inputs can extend timelines or limit findings.

6) Fees, Taxes & Payment Methods

  • Prices are as per the SoW/order form or the Pricing page at the time of order.
  • Taxes/VAT: charged per applicable law.
  • Payment methods:
    1. Pro-forma invoice (bank transfer),
    2. Bank transfer via QR code (we provide an EU bank QR payment reference on the pro-forma),
    3. Card payment (processed by our payment provider).
  • Currency: shown on the invoice/checkout. Bank fees, FX charges or card fees are borne by the buyer.
  • When due: unless stated otherwise, fees are due in advance (prior to work start). For retainers, fees are due at the start of each period.
  • Late payment: we may suspend Services for non-payment and charge statutory late-payment interest/collection costs as permitted by law.

7) Intellectual Property & Use of Deliverables

You own your product, data and any client-provided materials. We own our methodologies, checklists, rulesets, severity matrices, templates, and know-how. Upon full payment, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our deliverables internally to remediate issues in your product.

8) Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information with reasonable care and use it only for the engagement. Confidentiality survives 3 years after termination; trade secrets survive while they remain confidential.

We apply reasonable technical/organizational measures and will delete data on request or within [90] days after project close unless law requires longer retention.

10) Warranties & Disclaimers

We will perform Services in a professional manner using reasonable care and skill. Except as expressly stated, Services are provided “as is”. We do not warrant that all defects will be found or that your product will be error-free after remediation. We do not guarantee a minimum number of findings and do not offer “X findings or free” guarantees.

11) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) our total liability for all claims related to a Service is capped at the fees paid for that Service; and (b) we are not liable for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (e.g., lost profits, lost data). Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12) Term, Termination & Suspension

These Terms apply while you use the Site/Services and to each SoW. Either party may terminate a SoW for material breach not cured within 10 business days after written notice. We may suspend Services for non-payment. Sections 7–13 survive termination.

13) Force Majeure
