Accessibility Statement

CALVENDO Verlag GmbH (UK address: 124 City Rd, London EC1V 2NX) strives to make its website www.calvendo.com and other digital information services accessible in accordance with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz – BFSG), which aligns with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). The goal is to ensure equal and non-discriminatory participation for people with disabilities, limitations, and older individuals.
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.calvendo.com.

Compliance Status
The website www.calvendo.com is partially compliant with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions.

Non-Accessible Content
The following content is not accessible for the following reasons: 

  • PDF Documents: Some of our PDF documents are not accessible. We are working on providing accessible alternatives.

  • Videos: Some of our embedded YouTube videos currently do not have subtitles. The YouTube player generally provides an automatic subtitle generation feature. We strive to add subtitles to our future videos.

  • Preview Images: Most preview images, such as those of our calendars, do not have HTML alternative text. However, the image descriptions are provided as part of the presentation of each calendar on our website. We continuously update this content.


Barriers Due to Disproportionate Economic Burden
Some barriers on our website cannot be removed in the short term due to economic constraints. These include:

 

  • Layout editor for content creation (print): This highly complex interactive tool used for creating graphic content (images, designs, layouts, copy, metadata, etc.) cannot be made fully accessible without disproportionate financial costs.

  • Certain interactive applications (e.g., the royalty system, user account overview) and specific functions on our website would require substantial financial and human resources to make fully accessible. We continuously evaluate ways to improve but cannot remove all barriers immediately due to the high cost involved.

  • Old content: Older content published before the current accessibility regulations may not be fully accessible. Adapting this content retroactively would require excessive resources. However, all new content is created in compliance with current standards as much as technically possible and financially viable.
