**Accessibility Statement**

**Last Updated: [Insert Date, e.g., February 25, 2026]**

**5buckcigars.com** (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to achieve these goals.

**Our Commitment**

We strive to make our website **[5buckcigars.com]** (the "Site") accessible in accordance with applicable laws, including the **Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)**. Our goal is to provide an inclusive online shopping experience for all users, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, keyboard-only navigation, or other tools.

**Accessibility Standards**

We aim to conform to **Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA** success criteria, which is widely recognized as the benchmark for web accessibility under ADA guidance. (Note: Some features may align with WCAG 2.2 where feasible, but our primary target is WCAG 2.1 AA.)

**Conformance Status**

[Choose one and customize honestly based on your actual audit:]

- **Fully conformant**: The Site fully conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

- **Partially conformant**: The Site partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA due to the non-conformities listed below.

- **Non-conformant**: The Site does not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are actively working on improvements.

**Known Accessibility Issues / Exceptions** (if applicable – be transparent; update as remediated)

- Some third-party content or embedded tools (e.g., age-verification popups, payment processors, or shipping calculators) may have limitations outside our direct control.

- Certain older product images may lack detailed alternative text (we are updating these).

- Live chat or dynamic elements may require additional keyboard focus improvements (in progress).

We regularly test our Site using a combination of automated tools, manual testing, and user feedback from people with disabilities.

**Efforts to Support Accessibility**

- All images have appropriate alt text where meaningful.

- The Site supports keyboard navigation and focus indicators.

- Text is resizable up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

- Color contrast meets minimum requirements for readability.

- Forms (including checkout and account creation) include proper labels and error identification.

- We avoid content that causes seizures (e.g., no flashing elements).

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the Site. If you encounter any barriers, have suggestions, or need assistance accessing content (e.g., alternative formats for product descriptions), please contact us:

- Email: **[5buckcigars@gmail.com]** please put accessibility in the subject line

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within **[e.g., 5 business days]** and work to address reported issues promptly.

**Ongoing Improvements**

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We perform periodic audits, train our team on accessibility best practices, and incorporate user feedback into updates. This statement will be reviewed and updated at least annually or after major Site changes.

Thank you for visiting **5buckcigars.com**. We value your business and are dedicated to making our online experience enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
