To be honest, I'm not sure. I would guess that it would depend on the court at the time. The only solution I see is making clients sign a form indicating that you have explained their responsibilities to them, that they refuse to honour said responsibilities and that you are completely blameless in regard to such responsibilities
If any of your clients will sign something like that, have you got any spares? Because I'll take them Oh, and for all the hobbyists out there, it is also indicated that the DDA applies to all and any services provided on the Internet (in Australia). That means that payment is irrelevant. Technically, if you provide a favour to a mate via the Internet , you are responsible for the accessibility Basically, we are still lucky at this stage, because many ppl with such disabilities don't use the net. Or if they do, they expect to encounter difficulties. However, the use is rapidly increasing. And will continue to do so, as so many institutions are placing such an emphasis on their websites through deals like reduced fees for internet banking and discounts on cars purchased online etc. As that number increases, you and your clients are more likely to receive complaints The law is already in place, as is the precedent, which means that such complaints cannot be ignored. If someone chooses to make a fuss about the fact that they can't order a pair of socks from your darning website because they are vision impaired, then they have all the power they need to put you in hot water ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taco Fleur" Thats an interesting one, would I even be liable if I pointed out all these issues? ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
