Accessibility Statement

1. Commitment

House of Watches wants buyers, sellers, dealers, and visitors to use the marketplace regardless of disability, device, input method, or assistive technology.

We are working toward an experience that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as our practical reference and the European Accessibility Act as an important regulatory framework for e-commerce services in the EU.

2. Scope

This Statement covers the House of Watches website and marketplace flows, including browsing, search, listing pages, account access, onboarding, saved searches, messaging, checkout, support, and legal pages.

Some third-party tools, payment screens, identity verification flows, maps, embedded content, or externally hosted services may be controlled by third parties. We choose providers with accessibility in mind and report issues to them, but some remediation depends on those providers.

3. Accessibility target

Our target is substantial conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA for user-facing web experiences, while continuing to monitor EU and Romanian accessibility requirements for e-commerce services.

We prioritise keyboard access, visible focus states, semantic structure, labels for form controls, meaningful alternative text, colour contrast, readable layouts, predictable navigation, compatibility with screen readers, and error messages that explain how to recover.

4. Current accessibility measures

The platform is designed with semantic headings, labelled buttons and forms, keyboard-operable navigation, visible focus treatment, text alternatives for brand and product imagery where meaningful, responsive layouts, and language-aware routing.

Legal pages include structured headings, anchored sections, and a table of contents so users can move through long documents more easily.
