ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
TONIC Events is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of their circumstances and ability.
We aim to adhere as far as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0, Level AA), published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.
Although we try to develop the www.tonic.events website in such a way as to adhere to accessibility guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all its areas. Due to the dynamic nature of our site, minor problems may occur occasionally as it is updated with some regularity. We are continuously looking for solutions so that all areas of the site have the same level of general web accessibility.
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding improving the accessibility of our site, please contact us directly at betonic@tonic.events.
