Notes:

This VPAT does not cover the following product areas:

  • The Oracle CX Commerce Business User Tools enable the merchant to upload Extensions and therefore 'extend' the Reference Storefront offering.  These extensions are developed by third parties; Oracle makes no representations regarding the accessibility status of content developed by third party companies.
  • A number of 'Themes' are made available to the merchant.  However, only the 'Cloudlake'  theme has been tested for accessibility.
  • The documentation is provided in both HTML and pdf formats. The pdf version of the documentation is excluded from this VPAT.

Evaluation Methods Used:

Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
