To accomplish this, we have partnered with eSSENTIAL Accessibility to administer our accessibility program and oversee its governance.

The platform, moreover, goes beyond minimum compliance requirements by making an assistive CX technology application available to customers who have trouble typing, gesturing, moving a mouse, or reading.
Upon request, we will provide or arrange for publicly available information to be made available in accessible formats and/or with communication support for persons with disabilities. The accessible format will be provided in a timely manner and at no cost. We will consult with the person making the request to determine the suitability of the format or communication support.
