The service is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
1.2 Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

- Some color combinations have been used on the pages that are not of sufficient contrast. (WCAG 1.4.3) We aim to correct color combinations for better contrast.
- The website has a few images without tag text. (WCAG 1.1.1) We try to add tag text to images so that they can be read with a screen reader.
- The site has a few headings with no content at all. (WCAG 1.3.1, WCAG 2.4.1, WCAG 2.4.6) We are working to remove unnecessary partitions.
