Accessibility Statement

This statement describes the accessibility of www.yankeeprinter.com (the "Site"), operated by Pattyn LLC. We treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility — not a one-time project — and continue to invest in improvements over time.

1. Our Commitment

Yankee Printer is committed to making the Site usable for everyone, including people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor disabilities. We believe that access to product information and the ability to shop online should not depend on a person's abilities, and we work continuously to improve the experience for all visitors. This commitment shapes how we design, build, and maintain every page on the Site, and it is treated as a genuine business priority rather than a legal formality.

2. Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines describe how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is widely recognized as the benchmark for digital accessibility compliance and is the standard referenced by U.S., U.K., and EU accessibility legislation, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

3. Measures We Take

The following measures are built into the design and development of the Site:

Alternative Text

All product images and other meaningful visual elements include descriptive alternative text so that screen readers can convey the content accurately to users.

Keyboard Navigation

The full Site — including the main navigation, product listings, shopping cart, and checkout — can be operated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or trackpad.

Color Contrast

Body text, headings, and interactive elements are designed to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast ratio requirements so that content remains readable across a wide range of visual conditions.

Clear Heading Structure

Pages use a logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) so that visitors who rely on assistive technology can scan and navigate the content efficiently.

Responsive Design

The Site adapts to all common screen sizes and device types, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop monitors, without requiring horizontal scrolling.

Descriptive Link Text

Links are written to describe their destination or purpose rather than relying on generic phrases such as "click here," making navigation understandable even when read out of context.

4. Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across the Site, certain third-party tools and embedded content — such as payment processors, shipping integrations, and advertising scripts from networks like Microsoft Advertising, Google, and Meta — operate under their own accessibility standards and are outside our direct control. We actively work with our vendors to encourage accessible design and to flag known issues for resolution. If you encounter a specific limitation, please let us know so we can prioritize a fix or provide an accessible alternative.

5. Feedback and Assistance

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of the Site — whether a product page, the cart, the checkout, or any other content — we want to hear from you. Please email contact@yankeeprinter.com and describe what you were trying to do and the barrier you encountered. We will work to provide the information, product details, or functionality you need through an alternative method, and we will aim to resolve the underlying issue wherever possible.

6. Contact

We aim to respond to all accessibility inquiries within 2 business days.

7. Formal Complaints

If you contact us about an accessibility concern and are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate the matter to the relevant authority in your jurisdiction. In the United States, the Department of Justice (DOJ) handles complaints related to web accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the United Kingdom, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is the relevant enforcement body. We encourage you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to resolve the issue directly.

8. Updates to This Statement

Pattyn LLC reviews and updates this Accessibility Statement on a regular basis as we make changes to the Site or to our accessibility practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
