Updated: June 2023.
General
APEC Water Systems (“APEC”, “us”, “we”) is a leading manufacturer of water filtration systems and uses its website, Freedrinkingwater.com (the “Website”), to provide excellent service to all of its customers and potential customers. APEC strives to ensure that its services are accessible to people with disabilities, and takes web accessibility seriously. APEC has invested a significant amount of time and resources to help ensure that the Website is made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
Accessibility on Freedrinkingwater.com
The Website makes available the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows Freedrinkingwater.com to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). See, https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/ .
Enabling the Accessibility Menu
The Website’s accessibility menu can be enabled either by hitting the tab key when the page first loads or by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the corner of the page. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.
Assistance Offered
APEC continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use also for those of us with disabilities. Although APEC endeavors to meet WCAG 2.1 guidelines, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the Website and within associated digital content due to the reliance on third parties or technical or usability limitations. Upon request, content contained within documents that may be linked to the Website can be provided in alternative formats to help ensure access for as wide and audience as possible.
In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues with the Website, APEC uses a combination of automatic and manual checks, including scanning with UserWay's Accessibility Scanner, to check all existing and new content.
Despite APEC’s efforts to make all pages and content on the Website fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution. If you experience barriers to access to any part of the Website, please let us know.
