⚠️ Ruthless mentor note (important for your business model):

Your biggest legal exposure isn't the Terms page.

It's promising ADA compliance.

Smart accessibility companies always include language like:

"Accessibility is an ongoing process and cannot be guaranteed."

You did the right thing targeting ADA compliance businesses, but you must protect yourself from clients who later get sued and try to blame the developer.

If you want, I can also write the third page you absolutely should have for this business:

Accessibility Statement

Ironically, most ADA compliance companies forget to write one, and plaintiffs' lawyers notice that immediately.
