From what I can tell, Title III (public accommodations) only applies to businesses with physical locations that serve the public. So are purely digital Saas businesses not subject to this lawsuit risk? If that is not the case, can someone more knowledgeable on the subject post a link to the relevant section of law or official regulation?

There's a whole section in the new guidance dedicated to that question:

https://beta.ada.gov/web-guidance/#when-the-ada-requires-web...

The tl;dr:

> For these reasons, the Department has consistently taken the position that the ADA’s requirements apply to all the goods, services, privileges, or activities offered by public accommodations, including those offered on the web.

That sounds like it applies to websites of businesses with physical locations, no?
