Common use of NONVISUAL ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY Clause in Contracts

NONVISUAL ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY. All Technology shall comply with the following nonvisual access standards from the date of purchase or upgrade until the expiration of this Agreement: i. effective, interactive control and use of the Technology shall be readily achievable by nonvisual means; ii. the Technology equipped for nonvisual access shall be compatible with information technology used by other individuals with whom any blind or visually impaired user of the Technology interacts; iii. nonvisual access technology shall be integrated into any networks used to share communications among employees, program participants or the public; and iv. the technology for nonvisual access shall have the capability of providing equivalent access by nonvisual means to telecommunications or other interconnected network services used by persons who are not blind or visually impaired. Compliance with the foregoing nonvisual access standards shall not be required if University determines (i) the Technology is not available with nonvisual access because the essential elements of the Technology are visual and (ii) nonvisual equivalence is not available.
