Accessibility Act (BFSG)
BÄR GmbH is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the national legal provisions implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102. The legal basis for this is the German Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (BGG) and the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).
This accessibility statement applies to the online shop:

Implementation status
Our digital services have been regularly reviewed with regard to the requirements of WCAG 2.1, conformance level AA. The review was carried out through a self-assessment using automated and manual testing procedures.
Accessible features
Headings
The website content is structured using headings. In some cases, there may be minor limitations in the semantic structure, which may affect orientation for screen reader users. Forms are largely equipped with clearly assigned labels.
Links
Links are understandable and describe their destination clearly. They can also be used meaningfully without additional context.
Texts
The website content is written in clear, understandable language. A non-mandatory easy language version is not provided.
Form assistance
Forms support common functions such as autocomplete and generally contain correctly assigned labels.
Error correction
Required fields are marked accordingly. Users are visually supported and informed in the event of incorrect entries. Corrections can be made at any time before submission.
PDFs and other embedded documents
PDF files provided on the website are designed to be accessible. Older documents may not yet fully meet these requirements. A gradual transition to accessible formats is planned.
Audio output
Where available, additional information (e.g. transcripts or subtitles) is provided for content in auditory form.
Animations
Where possible, no animations are used, or only subtle and brief ones. Users can disable animations via their system or browser settings.
Light/flashing effects
The website does not contain any content with hazardous light or flashing effects.
