Web Accessibility Statement
Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility
Buttercloth is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible digital experience for all customers, including individuals with disabilities.
We recognize that accessibility is an essential component of the customer experience. Our objective is to design, develop, maintain, and improve our digital properties in a manner that supports access by the broadest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability, or method of interaction.
As part of this commitment, Buttercloth endeavors to conform its website and digital content to the applicable Level A and Level AA success criteria of the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, including WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 Level AA, as those guidelines may be updated or supplemented over time.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
Digital accessibility is an ongoing effort rather than a one-time project. Buttercloth’s website is a dynamic e-commerce platform that is regularly updated with new products, content, functionality, promotions, applications, and customer-experience features.
Our accessibility efforts may include:
-
Evaluating website content and functionality for potential accessibility barriers;
-
Conducting automated and manual accessibility testing;
-
Reviewing website functionality using assistive technologies and accessibility-focused testing methods;
-
Incorporating accessibility considerations into website design, development, and content-management practices;
-
Prioritizing and remediating identified accessibility issues based on their nature, severity, and effect on the customer experience;
-
Reviewing significant website changes, new functionality, and third-party integrations for accessibility considerations; and
-
Training and supporting team members responsible for digital content and website operations.
Although we seek to maintain an accessible experience, temporary, isolated, or previously unidentified accessibility issues may occasionally arise as website content and technology change. When an issue is identified, Buttercloth will evaluate the matter and make reasonable, good-faith efforts to address it.
Accessibility Testing and Strategic Partnership
Buttercloth works with 216Digital | Leaders in Web Accessibility to support its digital accessibility program.
This work may include accessibility audits, testing, monitoring, technical consultation, remediation guidance, and the implementation of accessibility best practices. Through this relationship, Buttercloth seeks to identify potential barriers, improve the accessibility of its digital experience, and strengthen the processes used to maintain accessibility as its website evolves.
The engagement of an accessibility specialist is one component of Buttercloth’s broader commitment to continuous evaluation and improvement.
Third-Party Content, Applications, and Services
Certain portions of the Buttercloth website may contain or rely upon content, applications, features, platforms, APIs, widgets, plug-ins, or services provided by independent third parties.
These services may include, without limitation:
-
Payment and accelerated-checkout services;
-
Social-media content or feeds;
-
Embedded videos or media players;
-
Product-review, loyalty, chat, personalization, and recommendation tools;
-
Shipping, returns, fraud-prevention, and order-management services; and
-
Other externally hosted content or functionality.
Because these services are designed, hosted, maintained, or controlled by independent vendors, Buttercloth may not have the ability to modify their underlying source code or guarantee that every third-party service will remain fully accessible at all times.
Buttercloth encourages its technology and content providers to offer accessible and user-friendly experiences. When Buttercloth becomes aware of an accessibility concern involving a third-party service, we may communicate the issue to the applicable provider, evaluate available alternatives, or take other reasonable measures appropriate to the circumstances.
The presence of third-party content or functionality does not diminish Buttercloth’s commitment to assisting customers who experience difficulty accessing information, products, services, or transactions through the website.
