Accessibility Statement

Union Properties is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone and to apply relevant accessibility standards.

Our goal is to make our website accessible and usable in accordance with generally recognized accessibility standards and best practices.

Accessibility Standards

This website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which are internationally recognized guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is also the standard most commonly referenced by search engines, including Google, and by U.S. accessibility regulations and enforcement actions.

Accessibility Features

We strive to ensure that our website includes the following accessibility features where feasible:

  • Text alternatives for non-text content
  • Logical heading structures and readable content hierarchy
  • Keyboard navigability for interactive elements
  • Sufficient color contrast for readability
  • Compatibility with commonly used screen readers and assistive technologies
  • Responsive design to support zooming and different device sizes

Please note that accessibility is an ongoing effort, and some content may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards.

Ongoing Improvements

We regularly review our website to identify and address accessibility issues. As technology, standards, and user needs evolve, we remain committed to improving accessibility and usability.

Third-Party Content

Some content or functionality on our website may be provided by third-party tools or platforms. While we encourage accessibility from all vendors, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content outside of our control.

Enforcement & Legal Disclaimer

While we aim to follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, we do not warrant that the website will be fully accessible at all times. Accessibility requirements may vary by jurisdiction, and this policy does not constitute legal advice.

Why this works (quick reasoning chain)

  • Google does not publish a proprietary accessibility standard → it consistently references WCAG in its documentation
  • WCAG 2.1 AA is:
    • The most cited standard in U.S. accessibility lawsuits
    • The safest compliance target for contractors and service businesses
  • Language avoids:
    • Absolute guarantees (lawsuit bait)
    • Admissions of non-compliance
    • Overly technical claims that are hard to defend
