Digital Accessibility Statement

Mastercam is committed to providing an equal and quality experience for everyone. We’re constantly working towards improving the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to individuals with disabilities including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Wherever possible, we strive to conform to level A and AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. These guidelines provide a foundation for how to make web content more accessible for people with various disabilities. We believe not only in conformance with these guidelines but that optimization around them will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Known Exceptions

While we put our best effort into meeting the success criteria outlined in the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, we recognize that at this time, there are regions of our site that are not accessible or may be difficult to navigate, particularly for screen reader users.

Some of these regions are powered by third-party plugins that we recognize are not at the level of accessibility for which we strive.

The regions listed below are non-accessible and the reason these aren’t accessible are defined:

  1. Within the “Find a Reseller” Form, the “Segment” section radio buttons are not properly attributed to the “Segment” section of the form and are improperly nested within other form controls. This can create issues for screen reader users to understand where they are at within the form and how the form is updated when certain radio buttons are checked. This fails WCAG 2.2 A success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
  2. Within the “Find a Reseller” Form, the “Submit” form button lacks custom focus and hover states that indicate to a user to recognize the state of this button when interacting with it. The default browser focus indicator is present.
  3. Tables on certain pages like the Translators page are missing tags and attributes that would provide screen reader and keyboard users better control and feedback on the data within the table and where they are within the table. This fails WCAG 2.2 A success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).
  4. Images on some pages do not always have suitable alternative text. Screen reader users may not have access to information conveyed in images. This fails WCAG 2.2 A success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).
  5. On the Competitions page, the layout switches the content order in each section which causes the reading order of the text and YouTube video to repeatedly alternate for screen reader users.
  6. When performing a site search and navigating the results via the pagination controls at the bottom of the page, there are no screen reader hints that indicate to a user the page link or next and previous links and where they will navigate when clicked.

We are actively working on improving the experience in these and other impacted areas by working directly with vendors or seeking more accessible alternatives. Please be aware that our efforts to remediate any issues with these sections are ongoing.
