Responsibility Statement
- This page was originally written in English. In case of automatic translation, only the English version is legally binding
OneTap is designed to provide website owners, developers, and agencies with a quick and easy way to enhance digital accessibility in accordance with widely recognized guidelines such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), EN 301 549, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The following information is provided in full transparency so that you, as a user or customer, understand the scope and limitations of OneTap. This ensures that we do not create misleading expectations and helps you make an informed decision.
The information provided in this checklist does not constitute legal advice. It is intended solely to offer general guidance and raise awareness of accessibility requirements in connection with the European Accessibility Act and WCAG guidelines. We make no guarantees regarding the completeness or legal accuracy of the content and accept no liability for any actions taken based on this document.
OneTap is a cost-effective solution that helps websites meet many key accessibility requirements quickly and easily. However, full compliance with the legal regulations may require additional technical, structural, and editorial adjustments beyond what an accessibility plugin alone can offer. For legal compliance, we recommend consulting a certified accessibility expert or legal advisor.
Why This Matters
Accessibility is not just about installing a plugin – it’s a multi-layered process involving design, code, content, and legal checks. While OneTap gives you a head start and significantly improves many visual and interaction-related aspects, full compliance with laws such as the European Accessibility Act (EAA) – which becomes mandatory in June 2025 – typically requires manual adjustments and professional evaluation.
You, as the website operator, remain legally responsible for compliance. No plugin – including ours – can fully automate this process.
General Disclaimer
OneTap is not a legal service and does not provide legal advice. Use of this plugin is at your own discretion and risk. We make no guarantees that installing OneTap will result in full compliance with any national or international accessibility law.
Phrases such as “EAA support”, “WCAG support”, or “ADA support” refer to partial technical assistance and do not imply or promise full legal conformity.
We intentionally use words like “supports”, “helps with”, or “improves accessibility” to reflect the real, valuable benefits of OneTap – without misleading users into thinking their website becomes automatically compliant just by activating our plugin.
However – and this is important – OneTap does not guarantee full legal compliance with any accessibility law. Our tool supports accessibility efforts, but cannot replace manual work or certified audits.
If you aim for full, certified, and legally secure compliance, we strongly recommend a professional accessibility audit by certified WCAG/EN301549 experts.
In the spirit of full transparency and with the intention to provide an extensive framework of clarification, we would like to expand upon the scope, limitations, and intended use of the OneTap accessibility enhancement plugin for WordPress. The following document outlines technical, legal, functional, and theoretical aspects related to digital accessibility and the usage of software-based assistance tools in achieving accessibility goals under various international frameworks. The reader is advised to note that this document serves an informative purpose and should not be interpreted as a replacement for individualized legal consultation.
What the OneTap Plugin Already Covers:
Allows users to increase text size for better readability.
Enables users to adjust text and background colors to ensure sufficient contrast.
Makes the cursor more visible, aiding users with low vision. Note: While cursor size is not directly addressed in WCAG, it supports general usability for users with visual impairments
Provides fonts that enhance readability, including options beneficial for users with dyslexia.
Allows users to navigate the website using a keyboard.
Reads content aloud to assist users with visual impairments or reading difficulties. *Note: This feature complements assistive technologies and supports general accessibility principles.*
Allows users to stop animations that might be distracting or cause discomfort.
Helps users focus on specific lines of text, aiding those with reading difficulties. Note: While not directly specified in WCAG, this feature supports users with cognitive and visual impairments.
Makes interactive elements more distinguishable.
Allows users to hide non-text content and mute sounds that might be distracting.
- Note: Some features are part of the PRO module
Definition of Terms
For the avoidance of doubt, the following definitions apply throughout this document:
“Accessibility” refers to the design and implementation of content, user interfaces, and functionality in such a manner that they are usable by individuals with physical, cognitive, visual, auditory, or other disabilities.
“Conformance” refers to the condition in which a digital product or website satisfies all applicable criteria under a specified legal or technical accessibility standard.
“Support” and similar terms (e.g., “assistance”, “enhancement”, “compatibility”) shall be interpreted as indicative of partial compliance facilitation, not legal or full compliance.
“Automatic” or “Automated” solutions shall refer to software-based systems that operate without the intervention of human developers or accessibility experts.
Intended Purpose
OneTap is an assistive front-end interface that allows users to individually configure selected visual and navigational elements of a website to better suit their accessibility needs. It does not claim to analyze, correct, or transform the underlying code structure or content elements of the site in a manner that would render it fully compliant with accessibility legislation such as:
WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 (depending on updates)
EN 301 549
Section 508 (US)
ADA Title III
European Accessibility Act (EAA)
Local implementations of the EAA within EU Member States
Technical Clarifications
The OneTap plugin primarily operates on the presentation layer of a website. This means:
It modifies CSS classes and attributes to enable different states such as high contrast, grayscale, or enlarged text.
It does not modify the HTML semantics of the underlying site structure (e.g., heading hierarchies, ARIA roles).
It does not scan for missing alternative texts (alt attributes) on images.
It does not resolve keyboard traps or JavaScript-based interaction issues automatically.
It cannot verify or fix screen reader compatibility for all frameworks or devices.
The effectiveness of OneTap is therefore contingent upon the existing accessibility foundation of the website in question. Websites that have poor semantic markup, inaccessible widgets, or improper use of JavaScript may remain non-compliant, even when OneTap is installed.
Legal Limitations
While OneTap is a valuable tool in improving visual and navigational accessibility, its use does not relieve website operators of their legal obligations under applicable laws. Website owners remain fully responsible for:
Verifying that their website meets legal accessibility requirements.
Performing manual audits and remediation as needed.
Providing accessible documentation, customer support, and transactional processes.
Consulting with legal counsel and certified accessibility experts.
No plugin, including OneTap, can offer a certification of compliance unless accompanied by a full audit and remediation plan executed by human professionals. Any belief to the contrary may result in legal liability, especially under jurisdictions that enforce accessibility regulations with penalties or civil liabilities.
Common Misunderstandings
It is crucial to address several widespread misunderstandings in the marketplace regarding accessibility solutions:
“Installing a plugin makes my site compliant” – This is a false assumption. No plugin can automatically ensure legal compliance due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in accessibility evaluations.
“Accessibility is only about visuals” – Accessibility also includes logical structure, navigational order, correct semantic markup, content alternatives (e.g., for videos or PDFs), and user flows. OneTap primarily enhances visual usability and basic input interaction only.
“Screen readers will work fine because of OneTap” – Screen readers rely on well-structured semantic HTML. OneTap does not retrofit HTML elements with correct ARIA roles or headings.
“My developer theme is accessible” – Many themes claim accessibility readiness but still require customization. OneTap does not evaluate nor certify third-party themes or builder frameworks.
By installing and using OneTap, the website operator acknowledges and agrees that:
The plugin is intended as an accessibility enhancement aid, not a comprehensive solution.
Legal compliance with accessibility laws is a multi-step process involving audits, manual changes, and user testing.
OneTap should be considered one component within a broader accessibility strategy.
International Considerations
Accessibility laws vary significantly across jurisdictions. For instance:
In the United States, ADA Title III lawsuits have risen sharply in recent years.
The European Union will enforce EAA requirements for commercial websites starting June 2025.
Countries such as Canada (AODA) and Australia (DDA) maintain their own accessibility obligations.
OneTap offers no guarantee that the plugin, in isolation, will satisfy the expectations of any given regulatory authority. We encourage users to monitor their local laws, as well as updates from W3C and regional accessibility working groups.
Third-Party Integrations and Limitations
If your website utilizes third-party applications, iFrames, widgets, or embedded tools (e.g., booking engines, chatbots, video players), OneTap cannot extend its capabilities into these external systems unless those tools explicitly support it.
Examples include:
YouTube videos without captions remain inaccessible.
Calendly or similar booking tools may not be keyboard-accessible.
PDF files or downloadable content not formatted for screen readers will not be enhanced.
In these cases, accessibility remediation must occur at the source level and is not achievable through OneTap.
Updates and Version Policy
OneTap is actively maintained, and we strive to provide updates in line with evolving accessibility best practices. However:
Updates are not guaranteed to cover new legal developments.
Legacy installations may not benefit from the latest compliance-related improvements.
It is the responsibility of the website administrator to ensure that the latest version is installed and configured correctly.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in accessibility. We believe that OneTap is a powerful enhancement tool – not a miracle solution. Used wisely, it can significantly improve user experience. Used carelessly, it may offer a false sense of security. Please consider OneTap a first step in your broader accessibility journey, and not the final destination.
