4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website is one of the so-called "services in electronic commerce" and is characterized by the option to order and pay electronically.
Special legal accessibility requirements apply to it.
In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are geared to the needs of people with disabilities and that allow it to be operated with digital assistive technologies.

To this end, the online shop functions of this website must be
- perceivable
- operable
- understandable and
- robust
in their design.

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that all users can perceive them without difficulty.
Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limited mobility or cognitive impairments.
Understandability requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easy to recognize and labeled unambiguously.
Finally, robustness demands that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users rely on digital assistive technologies.
If products that are themselves subject to accessibility requirements are offered for sale in the online shop, information on their accessible use must be provided for such products - where available.

5) Available aids for accessible use

This website meets the accessibility requirements through the following measures:
- Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are provided with alternative texts that give a short description of the image and can be processed by screen readers.
- Adjustable font size: The font size of the page content can be adjusted via a setting to make it as easy as possible for every user to perceive.
- Adjustable color contrast: The color contrast of the page elements can be adjusted. It can be increased and decreased.
- Operation by mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated by mouse as well as by keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and clicked in the online shop using the keyboard's control keys.
- Browser-independent page rendering: The content and functions of this website are available in an identical arrangement, alignment and resolution regardless of the browser used.
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, color and design from its content structure. This allows digital assistive technologies to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
- Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so as not to impair readability.
- Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers and can be read and processed by them.
- Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The content, elements and functions automatically adapt their dimensions to the size of the screen being used.
- Scalability (visibility when zoomed in): Page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when zoomed in.
- Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between the colors of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of the page elements.
- Text notices for empty input fields: If mandatory input fields are not filled in, a text notice is displayed in addition to a color highlight. This notice makes clear which information is missing in the input field.
