Accessibility statement

For curbcut.org. Prepared 20 August 2026. We sell a tool that catches dishonest accessibility statements, so this one has to survive being read by a hostile expert.

Conformance status

Automated testing found no failures against EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03) on any page of this site.

What was tested, and how

Every page of this site — the home page, the terms, the privacy policy and this statement — was evaluated on 20 August 2026 using Curbcut itself, which runs axe-core in a real headless browser. That is the same tool and the same output this site sells. If we would not run it on ourselves, you should not run it on your business.

One page is excluded on purpose. The demo page is deliberately full of accessibility failures, because it exists to be scanned on the home page. It is not part of this statement and nothing links to it as real content.

What has not been verified

No automated tool can evaluate the following, and we have not yet evaluated them by hand. We list them because omitting them would imply a completeness we have not earned.

• Clause 9.2.1.1 — keyboard operability across a complete user journey
• Clause 9.2.4.5 — more than one way to locate a page
• Clause 9.3.2.3 — consistent navigation
• Clause 9.3.2.4 — consistent identification
• Clause 9.3.3.4 — error prevention on legal, financial and data entry pages
• Clause 12.1.2 — accessible product documentation
• Clause 12.2.2 — accessible support services

Clause 9.1.2 on time-based media does not currently apply, because this site contains no audio or video.

Known limitations

We are aware of the following and are not hiding them.

• No screen-reader testing has been performed. The markup uses landmarks, a skip link, a single h1 per page and a heading order with no skipped levels, but intent and lived experience are different things.
• No testing with speech input or switch access.
• Colour choices are calculated, not user-validated. Every text and background pair on the site measures at least 7.1:1 in both the light and the dark colour scheme, against the 4.5:1 that clause 9.1.4.3 requires. The site follows your operating system setting rather than forcing one. Measured contrast is still not the same as asking a person with low vision whether the page is comfortable to read.

Design decisions made deliberately

• No cookie banner, because the site sets no cookies. Consent overlays are one of the most common keyboard traps on the web.
• No accessibility overlay widget, and there never will be one. Our position on overlays is on the home page, with the citations.
• Focus outlines are never removed. Content is readable and functional with JavaScript disabled, because the site uses no JavaScript at all.
• Text reflows to 320 pixels wide without horizontal scrolling and survives 200 percent zoom, because all sizing is relative.

Feedback

If you hit a barrier on this site, tell us at hello@curbcut.org. We aim to reply within five working days. Describe the page and what happened; you do not need to know the clause number, that is our job.

Reports of genuine barriers are treated as bug reports with priority over feature work. If you find something an automated scan missed on the site of a company that sells accessibility tooling, we would rather hear it from you than from a regulator.

Enforcement

Curbcut is published by a sole trader established in Ukraine and is not an EU public sector body, so the public sector web accessibility complaints procedure does not apply to this site. If you believe our response to a complaint is inadequate, you may contact the market surveillance authority designated under the European Accessibility Act in your own member state, since each state designates its own.

Review

This statement is re-checked whenever the site changes and reviewed at least annually. It will be updated the moment a manual audit is completed, and the wording above about partial conformance will change only when the evidence supports it.
