Accessibility Compliance (WCAG 2.1)

1. Commitment to Accessibility

Vexor aims to provide an inclusive experience for users of all abilities. Accessibility is embedded directly into our product design, engineering, content creation, and testing processes. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA where required and practical, ensuring that every user can interact with our platform without unnecessary barriers.

2. Standards & Scope

Our accessibility program is aligned with industry standards and legal requirements, including:

• WCAG 2.1 (Levels A and AA)
• WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices
• Platform-specific accessibility guidelines for iOS and Android
• Local accessibility and anti-discrimination laws

This policy covers web interfaces, PWAs, mobile apps, in-app features, creator tools, media content, and third-party integrations where technically feasible.

3. Key Accessibility Features

• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are fully keyboard-operable.
• Focus Management: Visible focus outlines and logical navigation order.
• Screen Reader Support: Semantic HTML, ARIA roles, labels, and live regions.
• Color Contrast: All text meets WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios.

6. Media Accessibility

For videos, livestreams, and audio content:

• Closed captions or subtitles provided for on-demand video.

• Creators can edit auto-captions for accuracy.

7. Third-Party Content & Integrations

All third-party vendors must meet Vexor’s accessibility expectations. External content that is not fully accessible is flagged for remediation, alternatives, or explanatory guidance to affected users.

8. Accessibility for Creators

Creators are offered tools to improve accessibility in their content:

• Captioning tools and best-practice guides
