  1. Accessibility Statement.

We value accessibility to the Website for all of our users.  To ensure every visitor to our Website can review the Website content, we have incorporated assistive technology into the Website to facilitate access for all users.  We internally monitor and further use third-party scanning tools to audit the Website semi-annually, testing the accessibility of the Website using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as a reference standard.  A third-party firm will also conduct manual testing of the Website from time-to-time to maximize the Website’s accessibility and its compliance with the WCAG 2.0 standards at the AA level or higher, as explained further below.

We strive to make the Website user-friendly for all, including individuals who have disabilities.  WCAG establishes best-in-class standards for on-line accessibility, based on three levels of accessibility measurement, namely, A, AA and AAA.  We strive to publish as much of the Website content that we create, author or directly produce in conformance with at least the level AA standards, however certain of the content on the Website cannot achieve performance at these standards based on current available technology or is provided by third-parties and may not conform to this standard.  When auditing and testing of the Website shows that content on the Website is not performing to the AA level or higher, we will work to implement improvements to the Website to facilitate accessibility for all.

To the extent possible, we will favor providers based on their capabilities to support AA-level accessibility or better on the Website.  Irrespective of the foregoing, we will ensure that all third-party content providers for the Website are aware of this Accessibility Statement.  Please be aware that links included on the Website may direct users to a different website or digital platform hosted and controlled by a third party or third parties.  These sites and digital platforms, which we do not control and do not manage, may not achieve the same level of accessibility compliance as the Website and are subject to the published and/or written policies and practices of those third-parties.
