Statement on Digital Accessibility 

The accessible design of our digital offerings is a central concern for UNGER GmbH & Co. KG. Our goal is to provide all users—regardless of their individual physical or technical capabilities—with unrestricted and comfortable access to our website and our product range. We are continuously working to fully implement the requirements of the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the associated regulation (BFSGV). Below, we inform you about the current status and our measures. 

1. Perceivability: 
Making content comprehensible for everyone. So that our content can be easily perceived regardless of visual impairments, we are optimizing the presentation and technology on UNGER.DE:

  • Support through technology: Content is integrated in such a way that assistive technologies (such as screen readers) can process it. As a result, descriptive text alternatives are assigned to image elements, which can then be read aloud.
  • Visual clarity: We rely on high color contrasts, sufficient font sizes, and generous spacing. This makes reading easier, especially for people with visual impairments or color blindness.
  • Clarity: A clear visual hierarchy distinctly separates headings, paragraphs, and menus. Thanks to responsive design, all content automatically adapts to your respective device (smartphone, tablet, or computer) in an easily readable manner. 

2. Operability: 
Effortless and flexible navigation. UNGER.DE is designed to adapt flexibly to your preferred method of operation—even if you have motor impairments: 

  • Alternative control: In the near future, all website functions will be fully accessible without a mouse (e.g., via the Tab key, arrow keys, or assistive programs). A distinct focus state clearly highlights the currently selected element during navigation.
  • Intuitive pathways: An improved, logical page structure with an always-visible menu bar ensures that you can quickly reach the desired content. 
  • Clear interaction design: All operating elements (such as menus and buttons) are positioned and designed so that their function and purpose are completely self-explanatory. 

3. Understandability:
Clarity in text and structure. Everyone should be able to understand our offering on UNGER.DE immediately and without difficulty: 

  • Language and structure: We ensure well-structured content in a legible font and consciously use plain language. We avoid unnecessary technical jargon and complicated phrasing.
  • Orientation: Buttons, links, and forms are given clear labels so that it is always immediately obvious how to use them. 
  • Consistency: A uniform appearance across all pages ensures that you can easily and familiarly navigate your way around at all times. 

4. Robustness:
Reliable and future-proof technology. In the background of UNGER.DE, we ensure a stable and fast foundation: 

  • Compatibility: The use of current web standards ensures that our site works seamlessly with all common browsers, operating systems, and assistive technologies. 
  • Performance: A modular, technically simple architecture guarantees short loading times and reliability—even with weaker internet connections (such as in rural areas) or when using older devices. 
  • Stability: Due to extensive technical independence, the site remains largely immune to errors, even if individual external services should temporarily become unavailable.
