- Removal requires a Remedyforce ticket.
Script for Explaining AudioEye Before Removal
"The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities. The app that we have included on your website helps you to provide an ADA-compliant website to your customers. This will not only help protect you against lawsuits and fines, it will also provide accommodations for your customers with disabilities who may visit your site."
Why Accessibility Matters
- Over 1.3 billion people worldwide (16% of the population) live with a disability. This number is expected to reach 2 billion by 2030.
- Website accessibility lawsuits are increasing, with over 4,000 lawsuits filed in 2022 and 4,280 in 2024.
- Sites that are not accessible risk lost business opportunities and potential legal action.
