Accessibility Statement

General

Access to any company’s website can be challenging for persons having certain disabilities. A person’s disability is often unique. What may work well for one person may cause difficulties for another person. Our company has made efforts to accommodate as many of our customers and potential customers as is reasonable given our size, resources, and knowledge of our customers’ and potential customers’ needs. To that end, we have engaged the services of professionals to assist and advise us in these matters.

Accessibility on This Website

Our website provides several methods, features, and policies that can help with access to our website and/or to products or services provided or referred to on our website or by our business.

There are also various aids available by third parties and which are provided by most browsers. 

If you are having difficulty with access to our website even after utilizing any access features within this website and/or any third-party or browser features, we invite you to contact us for further assistance. Contact information is set forth below.

Some Specific Accessibility Features Within This Website

This website contains a third-party plug-in, also known as a Widget, called UserWay Website Accessibility (“UserWay”), which is powered by this third party’s dedicated accessibility server. Use of this Widget can improve website accessibility for some users, particularly related to certain types of disabilities. UserWay has stated that its application makes efforts to follow, to some degree, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). On our website, the UserWay Widget is located in the UPPER-LEFT CORNER of most pages.

Enabling the Accessibility Menu

The accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears after clicking on the Widget described above. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.

Disclaimer

We anticipate that, from time to time, within our resources, we will be making modifications to parts of our website and possibly modifications to the accessibility of our website. Reasonable efforts toward improving seamless, accessible, and unhindered use of websites by customers and potential customers are generally worthwhile goals. Moving closer to these goals will often depend on the knowledge the company has regarding any particular difficulties those using the website might encounter, as well as available resources and improvements with technology. 

Despite the efforts we may have made regarding accessibility consistent with normal business practices for a company of our size and resources, some content, features, processes, or policies, may be improved, so we welcome your suggestions.

Third-Party Applications

Our website may use third-party add-ons or “plug-ins” for certain functions, such as Google Maps, social media feeds, etc. These may not work or may not work the same for every user and/or every type of disability. We do not have control over the structure of these plug-ins and are unable to modify them at all or to the extent that would accommodate every user of our website and are not responsible for those elements that we do not control. 

Video

Our website has or plans to have some video elements. Each video will either have closed captioning or text equivalent located next to the video.
