Website accessibility
Website accessibility helps the following population:
People with visual disabilities, from those who wear glasses, through people with visual impairments and color blindness, to surfers with total blindness.
People with physical disabilities, who have motor difficulties in their hands that cause difficulty in operating the mouse.
People with hearing impairment who need subtitles while watching videos.
People suffering from: reading difficulties, comprehension problems, learning disabilities and more.
There is no doubt that the consumption of information from the Internet is increasing at an incredible rate in every layer of our lives. An accessible website will help in browsing and consuming information and services for people with disabilities as well as other target audiences.
We use on this website an auxiliary component (graphic applet) for website accessibility marketed by LiveDns and designed to help make the website accessible according to Israeli standard 5568 at AA accessibility level as defined in:
W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.

At the same time, since the site is a dynamic site that includes various content entry systems that operate using the WYSIWYG method, there may be a situation where certain parts of dynamic content pages will include components that the accessibility applet could not fully access.
If you have encountered such a case, we will thank you for contacting the Company so that the required repair can be carried out as soon as possible.
Also, the website may also display content from other websites that are operated and/or maintained by third parties, and it is possible that said content is not accessible. We will make it clear that the Company is not responsible for the said content or its accessibility, but we will be happy to receive your comments and try to help you contact those third parties, in order to draw their attention to the issue (without the company being able to commit that those third parties will make the necessary adjustments, as required by law).
