| Please note that TAC only provides the technical requirements for running the web shop and does not offer any legal advice. However, it may be necessary to clarify legal aspects for the creation of the accessibility statement. We therefore recommend that you seek legal advice if necessary to ensure that all legal requirements are met. |
As the TAC | Webshop is a flexible shop system that allows customised settings for the shop operator, a thorough check by the shop operator is essential. This ensures that all specific customisations and content meet the accessibility requirements.
