Screenixx Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Screenixx believes that independent cinema should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to providing a digital experience that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities. This commitment is not just a compliance exercise – it is integral to our mission of helping creators and audiences alike thrive. We strive to meet or exceed globally recognized accessibility standards, such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act. We recognize that accessibility is a continuous journey; there is always more to do, and we invite our community to hold us accountable.

Standards and Ongoing Efforts

• Accessibility standards: Screenixx uses WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the benchmark for our web and mobile platforms. We also align with applicable legal requirements such as the ADA in the U.S. and international equivalents.
• Inclusive design: We build our interfaces to support keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility and scalable text. We test our service across multiple browsers and assistive technologies and document any compatibility issues.
• Accessible media: We provide captions on new video content and are rolling out audiodescriptions and transcripts for older films. Where full audio description is not yet available, we offer alternative formats upon request.
• Continuous improvement: Accessibility audits are part of our release cycle. When issues are identified, we prioritize fixes and communicate timelines transparently. As new guidelines emergeor user needs evolve, we update our accessibility roadmap accordingly.

Known Limitations and Alternatives

We acknowledge that parts of our service are still being improved. Some older films may not yet have captions or audio descriptions, and certain third‑party content we aggregate may not fully conform. We list known limitations here and will update this list as we make progress:

• Legacy content without captions or transcripts – We are working with rights holders to obtain accessible versions. In the meantime, please contact our accessibility team for a transcript or alternate access.
• Limited color‑contrast on archival artwork – Some vintage film posters and art used in the catalogue may not meet contrast ratios. We are developing high‑contrast alternatives and alt text.
• Third‑party integrations – Some payment or authentication interfaces provided by partners may not fully conform. We are collaborating with these providers to improve accessibility and willoffer phone or email support where necessary.

If you encounter an accessibility issue not listed above, let us know so we can address it.

Technical Prerequisites and Compatibility

Our platform is designed to work with modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and on iOS and Android devices. We routinely test with popular assistive technologies (screen readers such as NVDA and Voiceover, keyboard-only navigation and high‑contrast modes). If you use a combination of browser and assistive technology not listed here and experience issues, please reach out.

Feedback Mechanism

Screenixx welcomes feedback about accessibility barriers on our site. Contact us if you experience difficulty accessing any material so we can make improvements. You can contact our accessibility officer directly or use our feedback form:

• Email: accessibility@screenixx.com – This inbox is monitored by our accessibility program lead, who will respond within five business days.
• Feedback form: screenixx.com/accessibility-feedback – Our web form complies with WCAG and Section 508 standards and allows you to attach screenshots or describe technical configurations.

We set expectations on response times: simple requests or clarifications will generally be acknowledged within two business days; more complex issues may require additional investigation but we will keep you informed. Feedback helps us prioritize fixes and improves the experience for everyone .

Filing a Formal Complaint

If you believe that Screenixx has not adequately addressed an accessibility barrier and wish to file a formal complaint, please contact us at accessibility@screenixx.com with “Accessibility Complaint” in the subject line. We will provide instructions on how to submit supporting documentation. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to file a complaint with a relevant regulatory authority (e.g., the U.S. Department of Justice or your national disability rights agency). Our complaint process is separate from the feedback mechanism; formal complaints will be handled by our legal team and may require additional time.

Reasonable Accommodation and Additional Assistance

For individuals who require additional assistance to access Screenixx content, we provide reasonable accommodations. Examples include sending transcripts in alternative formats (Braille, large print), providing audio-described versions on request, or facilitating telephone support to navigate our catalogue. You can request these services through the contact channels listed above. We will coordinate with you to identify an effective accommodation.

Related Policies and Future Updates

This statement should be read together with our broader digital‑accessibility policy and our terms of service. We also adhere to other organizational policies on diversity and inclusion. Links to our relevant policies can be found in our site footer.

Screenixx will review and update this Accessibility Statement as we expand our platform and as accessibility standards evolve. Last updated: May 2025. For substantive changes (e.g., adopting new standards or adding features), we will post a notice on our homepage. Accessibility is an ongoing commitment; we intend to lead rather than follow and to continually push for a digital environment where independent filmmakers and audiences of all abilities can connect without barriers.
