CommonLook Validator is a separate product from the CommonLook Global Access tool. Validator is part of the paid for tool that CommonLook has pulled out and offers free as a stand alone checker.

If you follow the link to get the free trial, you go to a webpage where you need to enter your name and e-mail address.

You are agreeing to let them use your information by filling in the form. The paragraph about this is just after the information you enter. I just walked through the process.

I know the language on the site is confusing given that they do have Validator as part of the for purchase CommonLook Global Access, but I didn't see anything on the page that would indicate that at some point you have to paid for Validator. I've had my copy of it since they released it as a stand-alone tool.
