Legal requirements:

The legal requirements result from the Barrier-Free Strengthening Act (BFSG), in particular Section 14 (1) No. 2 in conjunction with Annex 3 No. 1 to Sections 14 and 18 BFSG with reference to the Ordinance to the Barrier-Free Strengthening Act (BFSG).

Compliance with accessibility requirements:

Our website is designed to be largely barrier-free in order to ensure that our offers are accessible to all persons.

The main functions are designed in such a way that they can be perceived, operated and understood by all users.

This includes user-friendly navigation through the website, the structured presentation of product information and application areas, targeted searches within the product range, the display of relevant mandatory information, the option to contact us using the forms and telephone numbers provided and an integrated specialist retailer search function that customers can use to find a specialist retailer near them.

• We offer various forms of service to ensure that our products and services can also be used by users with physical, sensory or cognitive impairments. These include
• Auditory alternatives: our features do not require vision and offer enhanced audio capabilities for users with visual impairments (known as screen reader capability).
• Manual interaction options: Our digital content can be used without fine motor control or significant hand muscle strength (known as keyboard operability).
• Privacy when using accessibility features: All accessibility features used ensure the privacy of our users.
• Through regular reviews and adjustments, we ensure that our digital offerings comply with legal requirements and are continuously improved to ensure a high level of accessibility and security for all users.

Content that is not or not fully accessible

The following content and areas are currently not or not fully accessible:

• A video is embedded on our website using HTML5. This may not be fully accessible as there is no transcription or alternative access.
• Alt texts are available for our product images, which are currently mostly created automatically based on the respective product titles. We are already planning to make the content of these image descriptions more precise and accessible.
• It is possible that individual PDF documents are not or not completely barrier-free.
• Under certain circumstances, certain browser/assistance technology combinations may result in operating restrictions.

However, we are working with our partners to gradually remove any remaining barriers.
