Note: this is all specific to the US. https://equidox.co/blog/robles-v-dominos-pizza-explained-no-... Domino's was sued by a man who is blind who was unable to order a pizza online. Unfortunately, requirements for websites to be considered "accessible" in a legal sense are essentially undefined in the US. Here's how the site above summarizes, emphasis theirs: > Title III of the ADA mandates that all places of public accommodation and their services must not discriminate against those with disabilities. According to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that includes making websites equally accessible for people who use assistive technology. Lacking precise guidelines, the thinking in the web community generally is that if your site adheres to WCAG 2.0 or higher, there will be little purchase for folks to sue. Adherence to that standard has also been mandated in the past by courts in settlements. |
