Compliance Plan Statement
While no offering guarantees compliance, AudioEye’s solution provides services according to an accessibility compliance plan for your website. Specifically, AudioEye defines “compliance” by referencing well-established industry standards and long-standing models that define the required processes and procedures that comprise a successful website accessibility strategy. Those compliance elements, which are listed below, are typically outlined within mutually agreed upon accessibility resolution agreements executed between disability advocates and organizations seeking to fulfill their obligations to ensure an optimal and equitable experience for individuals with disabilities. These standards are as follows:
