AGRIASSURE ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

LLB Technologies Inc. is committed to facilitating the accessibility and usability of the AgriAssure Platform for all users, aligning our software and public documentation with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

Inclusion Charter • WCAG 2.1 AA Commitment

AgriAssure recognizes the fundamental importance of digital accessibility. We strive to provide a seamless, dignified experience for all food producers, wholesale buyers, regulatory professionals, and stakeholders, regardless of technological capabilities or physical abilities. If you ever encounter an accessibility barrier or require an alternative document format, we are here to support you.

Section 01

OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY

LLB Technologies Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “AGRIASSURE”) is an enterprise ag-tech and regulatory compliance software provider based in Alberta, Canada. We are deeply committed to making our digital experience accessible, intuitive, and welcoming for all users, including food and beverage brand owners, wholesale suppliers, enterprise retail buyers, regulatory auditors, and the public.

We believe that regulatory compliance, wholesale product discovery, and supplier verification must be inclusive and barrier-free. Whether an individual is using assistive software such as screen readers, relying on keyboard navigation, or requiring specialized high-contrast color schemes, our objective is to ensure equal opportunity and dignified digital access across every page of the AgriAssure Platform.

This Accessibility Statement interacts with and supplements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Section 02

COMPLIANCE STANDARDS & BENCHMARKS

To ensure digital accessibility, AgriAssure designs, engineers, and tests its web properties in accordance with the internationally recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our ongoing technical and operational compliance efforts align with key regulatory benchmarks across Canada and the United States, including:

  • The Accessible Canada Act (ACA): Federal legislation prioritizing barrier-free digital access and proactive identification of accessibility barriers across commercial communications.
  • Provincial Accessibility Standards: Including the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Information and Communications Standards and equivalent emerging provincial frameworks.
  • Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Ensuring non-discriminatory, full, and equal enjoyment of digital commerce and web services for our cross-border retail buyers, food distributors, and US-based partners.
  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act: Electronic and information technology accessibility standards.
Section 03

TECHNICAL MEASURES & ACCESSIBLE ARCHITECTURE

AgriAssure implements the following technical measures throughout the frontend user interface to ensure high accessibility across diverse user needs:

Full Keyboard Operability

All interactive buttons, modal dialogs, search inputs, tabs, and Sell Sheet inquiry features can be navigated and activated using standard keyboard controls (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Esc).

Semantic HTML & WAI-ARIA

We employ semantic structural elements (<main>, <nav>, <header>, <section>) paired with explicit ARIA landmarks, roles, and live states to empower screen reader navigation.

Color Contrast & Typography

Text elements maintain minimum contrast ratios of 4.5:1 against their backgrounds (3:1 for large display headlines), avoiding color-alone indicators for vital error or status notifications.

Zoom & Responsive Fluidity

Platform layouts scale seamlessly up to 200% zoom in modern desktop browsers without clipping typography, obfuscating interactive controls, or creating destructive horizontal overflows.

In addition, informative brand logos, regulatory verification badges, and sell-sheet illustrations incorporate descriptive alternative text (alt attributes), while purely ornamental graphic icons are explicitly marked with aria-hidden="true" to prevent auditory clutter for assistive device users.

Section 04

COMPATIBILITY WITH BROWSERS & ASSISTIVE TOOLS

The AgriAssure Platform is engineered and tested to maintain robust compatibility with contemporary browsers and major assistive technologies, including:

  • Google Chrome (Windows, macOS, Android)
  • Apple Safari (macOS, iOS, iPadOS)
  • Mozilla Firefox (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Microsoft Edge (Windows, macOS)
  • Screen Readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS / iOS), and Android TalkBack

For the safest and most reliable experience, we encourage users to keep their browsers and operating system accessibility packages updated to their latest stable releases.

Section 05

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT & SUPPLIER DOCUMENTATION

AgriAssure functions as a commercial catalog and compliance verification bridge. In that capacity, suppliers and third-party certifying entities upload various historical and regulatory documents to the platform, including:

  • Scanned food safety and quality audit certificates (e.g., HACCP, SQF, BRCGS, CanadaGAP)
  • Third-party analytical laboratory test results and microbiology dossiers
  • Supplier-provided specification sell sheets, catalog inserts, and promotional PDFs

While AgriAssure is actively working with suppliers to promote accessible document standards (such as tagged, searchable, screen-readable PDFs) and native HTML sell sheets, certain supplier-uploaded legacy records or third-party laboratory scans may not yet be fully accessible to screen readers.

Alternative Accessible Formats Guarantee

If you encounter any supplier record, sell sheet, laboratory certificate, or regulatory guideline on AgriAssure that is inaccessible with your assistive technology, our compliance office will prepare and provide an accessible alternative format (such as an accessible plain-text transcription, CSV data export, or high-contrast copy) within two (2) business days at no cost to you.

Section 06

CONTINUOUS TESTING & REMEDIATION

Accessibility is not a one-time project; it is an ongoing operational commitment. We evaluate our codebase and digital properties through continuous automated testing, periodic manual audits, and user testing workflows:

  • Automated Code Verification: Integrated linting (eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y) and automated accessibility scans during CI/CD to detect contrast issues, missing labels, and broken landmark hierarchies prior to deployment.
  • Manual Workflow Testing: Direct manual keyboard-only navigation cycles across complex interactive experiences, including user onboarding, brand profile viewing, and inquiry dialogs.
  • Design System Audits: Continuous refinement of typography scales, focus rings, interactive states, and component accessibility tokens.
Section 07
