Accessibility to the Site and the content  

The Site is made accessible in accordance with the directives of Israeli Standard 5568 – “Guidelines for Accessing Internet Content” – at a level of AA.

This Israeli Standard adopts the international guidelines of the international organization, W3C, which deals with Web standards, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

In the context of providing access to our Site, we have tried to ensure and placed emphasis on, inter alia, the implementation of the following clauses:

1. That it is possible to navigate and perform all operations on the Site by means of a keyboard, with keyboard focus highlighted at all times.
2. That each page has a shortcut to “Skip to Main Content” which allows the user to jump to the main menu.
3. All forms and content can be accessed with the assistance of screen reader software.
4. There are options to highlight contrasting colors using the accessibility bar. To activate in high contrast mode, there is the option to access the accessibility bar by using the Esc key, or by using the keyboard shortcut of pressing the Shift and E keys simultaneously (when “Keyboard Navigation” mode is enabled).

Site accessibility components operate optimally on the browsers: Chrome. 

We are constantly trying to improve accessibility to M.Firon & Co.’ services and particularly the accessibility of the Site, as part of our commitment to enable use by the entire population, including by people with disabilities. 

We would like to point out that despite our efforts to make all pages and content on the Site accessible, and because the Site is dynamic and includes various content providers, some parts of the Site may turn out not to be fully accessible. 

If you experience such a situation, we would appreciate it if you would make contact with a representative of M.Firon & Co., so that the necessary adjustment can be made as quickly as possible. And we are, in general, happy to receive requests for information and/or suggestions as to how we can improve our customer service.

M.Firon & Co. believes that it is very important that high quality, professional, equal and accessible service be provided to everyone, but it should be noted that the Site may also display content from other sites which are operated and/or owned by third parties and such content may not be accessible. In which case, we would like to clarify that although M.Firon & Co. is not liable for such content or its accessibility, we would be happy to receive your comments and try to help you contact those third parties in order to draw their attention to the issue (though without our being able to undertake that such third parties will make the necessary adjustments, as required, by law).

If you encounter any problem when surfing on the Site, or if you have any comments regarding the level and/or manner of accessibility, you can contact the M.Firon & Co.’ Accessibility Officer
