Book Depot Inc. ("Book Depot," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website to provide equal access to all of our users.
As a company headquartered in Ontario, Book Depot Inc. is committed to meeting its obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). We have developed a multi-year accessibility plan that outlines our strategy to prevent and remove barriers to accessibility. This plan is available upon request. We will file accessibility compliance reports as required by the AODA.
We strive to ensure that our website is accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and alternative input devices.
Our goal is to align our website with the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.
Book Depot takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:
Include accessibility as part of our mission statement and company values
Provide ongoing accessibility training for our staff
Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities
Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods
Conduct ongoing accessibility testing and monitoring
We have incorporated a number of accessibility features into our website design, such as keyboard navigation support and providing text alternatives for non-text content, to improve the user experience for all visitors. Our ongoing efforts focus on:
Clear and consistent navigation structure
Sufficient color contrast
Readable and understandable content
Resizable text without loss of functionality
Descriptive page titles and headings
We welcome your feedback on our accessibility efforts. You may also request a copy of our multi-year accessibility plan in an accessible format. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us using the information at the end of this page. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.
While we strive to ensure our website is accessible, we link to third-party websites (including our brand websites and our career portal hosted by ADP Workforce) that are beyond our control. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of content on external sites. Each of these sites maintains its own accessibility policies and practices.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are continually seeking solutions to improve the accessibility of our website and bring it into compliance with accessibility standards. We review and update this Accessibility Statement as we make improvements.
