AudioEye provides a full suite of solutions to help respond to ADA claims. If an ADA-related lawsuit was filed against your company, consult with your legal counsel and contact your insurance carrier. You may succeed in keeping legal costs to a minimum by familiarizing yourself with the nature of the threats, embracing the reality of the legal landscape, and taking the steps suggested below:
- The first step is to consult with your lawyer and contact AudioEye about the demand letter, complaint, or lawsuit you’ve received. For Legal Support inquiries, contact your account manager or visit www.audioeye.com/request-legal-support-services/.
- The second step is to provide AudioEye with relevant materials or details for the legal services engagement. A Custom Response or Debunk Report to the demand letter or lawsuit will be provided by AudioEye within 14 days, if requested.
- AudioEye may prepare the following documents in response to a lawsuit or demand letter:
- Sustainable Testing & Remediation (STAR) Plan — A summary plan detailing the actions that AudioEye takes on your behalf, providing proof of your ongoing commitment toward ADA accessibility standards.
- Automated Test Suite Response — AudioEye counters the claims made with popular free, automated scanners prone to generating false positives. The use of common automated test suites (e.g. WAVE) for litigation purposes is often an explicit violation of their Terms of Use.
- Custom Response / Debunk Report — AudioEye addresses factual claims in the Claimant Statement. This is included for customers who purchase our Legal Support. If you are unsure if you’ve purchased Legal Support, reach out to your account manager. To request a Custom Response, please send us what you’ve received.
-
Work with your legal counsel to determine how to respond with the documentation prepared by AudioEye or if you need to provide the claimant with additional information. After this, please share the outcome of your case with your point of contact at AudioEye.
Potential outcomes include:
-
Plaintiff Withdrew
-
Settlement
-
Proceeding with Litigation

Other (please specify)

We understand legal issues are sensitive and you may be limited in what you are willing or able to share. If you are prevented from sharing because your organization requires a mutual non-disclosure agreement (MNDA) to be in place first, please reach out to your AudioEye contact and we will facilitate it.
Disclaimer: The recommendations here do not, and are not intended to, constitute legal advice. AudioEye encourages you to engage and consult with your own legal counsel in responding to any letter or lawsuit.
