We, Max Planck Law (part of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science eV), as the operator of this website, endeavour to design our website in compliance with the applicable regulations on accessibility. We are guided by the following legal provisions:
Disability Equality Act (BGG) and Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).
This declaration on accessibility applies to this website: https://law.mpg.de/.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with accessibility requirements due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
No full accessibility
- Easy language: not available.
- Sign language: not available.
- PDF documents: We are working on the technical implementation of more accessible PDF documents or alternatives thereof.
- Keyboard usability is not always guaranteed: Some areas are not optimally accessible with the keyboard.
- Information, structure, and relationships are not always fully identifiable: Some information, structures, and relationships may be too small or not fully identifiable. We are working to improve this.
- Recorded audio or video content does not always have subtitles.
- Non-text content does not always have alternative texts: Not all images have the correct alternative texts. We are working to resolve this.
Disproportionate burden
The following content will not be made available barrier-free because this would result in a disproportionate burden for us:
- Subtitles for archived videos and audios: Videos and audios that are already part of the archive will not be subsequently subtitled.
- Previously published or archived articles of all kinds will not be subsequently revised for accessibility.
Exceptions to the scope of accessibility requirements
The following non-accessible content on this website does not fall within the scope of our accessibility requirements:
- Embedded (third-party) content (eg YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
Reason for not being fully accessible
Max Planck Law is continuously working on improving this website’s accessibility. Due to the extensive volume of material, not all content and services are currently fully accessible. We are committed to reducing barriers and making the website more accessible over time.
Evaluation method
Simplified monitoring for BITV 2.0.
Further measures to improve the accessibility of our website
We are working on improving the colour contrasts to ensure an appealing appearance that at the same time meets the requirements of the ‘WCAG 2.0, AA criteria’ for good readability.
