Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some parts of this website may not be fully accessible. We are actively working to address the following known limitations:

• Third-party content: Some content from third-party services (YouTube videos, Shopify checkout) may have accessibility limitations outside our direct control. We select third-party providers who demonstrate commitment to accessibility.
• PDF documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these documents and can provide alternative formats upon request.

Our website integrates with the following third-party services:

• Shopify: Our checkout process is powered by Shopify. Shopify maintains its own accessibility commitment and we link to their checkout in a new tab to provide context.
• YouTube: Product demonstration videos are hosted on YouTube. YouTube provides automatic captions and has its own accessibility features.

While we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content, we carefully select partners who share our commitment to accessibility.
