TBAuctions Platform Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 27 June 2025

Applies to: https://atlas.tbauctions.com

🔹 Introduction

At TBAuctions Platform, accessibility is a core part of how we serve our customers. It reflects our dedication to inclusivity and compliance. We strive to make our website easy to use for everyone, offering a reliable and modern digital experience that’s clear, intuitive, and open to all.

🔹 Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible to everyone , regardless of ability or technology. We strive to meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 aiming for Level AA compliance.

🔹 Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA due to the issues identified during our latest audit.

🔹 Known Accessibility Limitations

Based on automated testing with axe-core and manual evaluations, the following accessibility issues have been identified:

• List structure: <ul> and <ol> elements contain non-standard direct children, which disrupts proper list semantics for screen readers.
• List items: Multiple <li> elements lack a proper <ul> or <ol> parent, affecting semantic structure and navigation.
• Viewport restrictions: The <meta name="viewport"> tag includes maximum-scale=1, which disables zooming on mobile devices, limiting accessibility for users with visual impairments.
• Scrollable regions: Scrollable <div> elements lack focusable content or are not focusable themselves, hindering keyboard navigation.
• Color contrast: Certain text elements have insufficient contrast ratios (e.g., 2.05 vs. required 4.5:1), impacting readability.
• Form inputs: Several input fields, including <input type="text" role="combobox"> and <input type="checkbox">, lack proper labels, ARIA attributes, or placeholders, reducing accessibility for screen reader users.
• Autocomplete attributes: Some <input> elements use incorrectly formatted autocomplete values, which do not conform to WCAG standards.
• Button names: Multiple buttons lack discernible text or ARIA labels, making them inaccessible to screen readers.
• Nested interactive elements: Interactive controls, such as <input> elements within a <button>, cause focus issues for assistive technologies, affecting usability.

We are actively working to address these issues through a comprehensive accessibility improvement roadmap, prioritizing critical and serious violations to enhance user experience.
