Policy Intention

The intention of this policy is to state clear accessibility principles that all C2C Fashion and Technology websites must follow.

The C2C FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY strives to ensure all of its websites comply with the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 206.50 - Accessibility of State Websites, TAC 213 - Electronic and Information Resources, Texas Governmental Code (TGC) 2054 Subchapter M - Access to Electronic and Information Resources by Individuals with Disabilities, and  Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) when possible without causing undue burden to the agency. Due to current technology constraints, there are some instances where the C2C FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY is unable to provide information in an accessible format (e.g. mapping information). The C2C FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY will be monitoring these sections and will develop accessible solutions as technology improves. In order to ensure no user is disadvantaged, the C2C FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY will respond to all accessibility assistance requests by either altering the necessary content as soon as possible or, if requested, by providing the information in an alternative format at no cost to the user within a reasonable timeframe. It is the responsibility of the content owner to provide these alternative formats. The C2C FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY websites will provide appropriate channels of communication that allow visitors to request alternative formats and to give feedback about any accessibility problems.
