Accessibility at Pattern Brands
Updated: December 2023.
Measures to support Accessibility
Pattern Brands is committed to facilitating and improving the accessibility and usability of our Website www.gir.co (the "Website"); and ensuring that our Website services and content are accessible to persons with disabilities including, but not limited to users of screen reader technology. We have the strong belief that website accessibility efforts assist all users and that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence. To accomplish this, we have made modifications to the Website to enable and maintain accessibility in-line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which is an auxiliary aid to enable people with disabilities to use the Website and its content, and obtain its content in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable State and Local accessibility requirements.
Accessibility on www.gir.co
Pattern Brands makes UserWay's Web Accessibility Widget available which is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows Pattern Brands to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). Pattern Brands also considers other auxiliary aids to enable disabled users to obtain the Website’s content, including implementing additional WCAG guidelines for certain Website content.
Enabling the Accessibility Menu
The Pattern Brands accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the bottom corner of the page.

Disclaimer
Pattern Brands continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use for those of us with disabilities. Please be aware that our efforts to maintain accessibility and usability are ongoing. While we strive to make the Website as accessible as possible, some issues may be encountered by different assistive technology as the range of assistive technology is wide and varied. We appreciate your understanding.
In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we also regularly scan www.gir.co with UserWay's Accessibility Scanner to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on www.gir.co fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.
