Since then, all relevant products and services offered to consumers (in the EU) must be accessible\u2014at least to the extent that they fall under the law.<\/p>\n<p>The law therefore applies only to content directed at consumers; purely B2B content is exempt. Furthermore, there is no retroactive requirement to make \u201cold\u201d content created before June 28, 2025, accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Section 2, No. 26 of the BFSG defines the scope of application as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cdigital services as defined in Section 1(4)(1) of the Digital Services Act that are offered via websites and mobile applications and are provided electronically and in response to an individual request from a consumer with a view to concluding a consumer contract\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Applicability to this website<\/h3>\n<p>By its very nature, the website &#8220;igrgmbh.de&#8221; is intended solely for business partners.

For this reason, we have<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added alt text to all images, including older ones, to the best of our knowledge<\/li>\n<li>We have adjusted the text contrast so that people with visual impairments can read it. If there are any texts with a conformance level of \u201cA\u201d instead of \u201cAA\u201d or higher according to the current WCAG guidelines, this is solely for advertising or \u201ccorporate design\u201d purposes; even if these texts are ignored, the meaning of the subpage remains clear<\/li>\n<li>designed our entire site, including forms and navigation menus, to be fully operable via the keyboard<\/li>\n<li>Our entire website\u2014or at least all content created after the above-mentioned cutoff date\u2014is designed to be screen reader-compatible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We use language that is easy to understand\u2014as much as is possible in an academic setting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Contact for issues<\/h3>\n<p>:<br \/>\nIf you come across any content that is not designed to be accessible, please let us know by emailing &#8220;mail@igrgmbh.de&#8221;\u2014we will review it immediately and make the necessary changes as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>If you have a different opinion, please contact us at<\/h3>\n<p>.
