WatchBuys 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. 

WatchBuys 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.  More information about website access and website access statements can be found at our ADA legal counsel.



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. A general discussion of these aids can be found here.

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 plugin, 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 access 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). 

The accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the black accessibility menu icon that appears on the left corner of each page on our site. 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 accessibility of our website.  Reasonable efforts toward improving seamless, accessible, and unhindered use of websites by customers and potential customers is generally a worthwhile goal.

Moving closer to this goal 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 "plugins" for certain functions, such as live chat, FAQs, promotional banners/ads, and social media feeds.  These plugins may not work or may not work the same for every user and/or every type of disability. 

Since we do not have control over the structure of these plugins and are unable to modify them at all (or to the extent that would accommodate every user of our website), we are not responsible for those elements which we do not control.

Our website also uses, or may use, JavaScript buttons, commands and animation controls that may "appear" to a user or screen reader to lack alt text, links, or form labels.  However, we have no control over how this code may render, and in most cases these scripts do not lack alt text, links and/or form labels.



Video

Our website features both video and audio elements.  Each video and/or audio incorporate closed captioning or text equivalent located next to the video or audio element.
