Accessibility of the site and content

An accessible site is one that allows people with disabilities and the elderly to use the site with the same level of ease and pleasure that is provided to all users. Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the population find it difficult to use the internet, and may benefit from more accessible web content, according to a study conducted in 2003 by Microsoft.

The company believes in and is working towards equal opportunities in the internet sphere for people with various disabilities and people who need auxiliary technology when using computers.

Contact methods for requests and proposed improvements on the subject of accessibility

We are constantly making efforts to improve the accessibility of the company's services and the accessibility of the site in particular, as part of our commitment to making it usable by the entire population, including those with disabilities.

It should be noted that, despite our efforts to grant accessibility to all pages and content on the site, and since the site is a dynamic site which includes different content entry systems, you may discover parts of the site that have not yet been made fully accessible.

If you have encountered such a case, please contact the company representatives so that the necessary upgrades can be made as soon as possible. In general, we would like to receive requests for information and/or suggestions on how to improve customer services.

The company attaches great importance to providing quality professional services that are equally accessible to all, but please note that the site may also display content from other sites that are operated and/or held by third parties, and that such content may not be accessible. We should 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 will try to help you to contact those third parties and bring the issue to their attention (but cannot guarantee that those third parties will make the necessary adjustments as required by law).

If, while using the site, you encountered difficulty browsing, or if you have any comments regarding the quality and/or manner of its accessibility, you can contact the company’s accessibility coordinator:
