SERVICE ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS Clause Samples
The SERVICE ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS clause sets requirements for the accessibility of services, ensuring they are usable by individuals with disabilities. Typically, this clause mandates that services comply with recognized accessibility guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and may require regular testing or certification to demonstrate compliance. Its core function is to promote inclusivity and prevent discrimination by making sure that all users, regardless of ability, can access and benefit from the services provided.
