Making the internet more accessible  for everyone

REAFFIRMING OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY
accessiBe recently reached a non-admission settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Though we disagree with the FTC’s claims and characterizations, which we believe were largely based on flawed testing methodologies and outdated information, we decided to settle as a strategic choice to avoid a lengthy legal process.

This will enable us to continue to prioritize our partners and clients while focusing on our core mission: Making the internet a more accessible and inclusive place for everyone

accessiBe's Founder & CEO:

Dekel Skoop

“While we disagree with its allegations, we've decided to settle with the FTC. Our mission is, and always has been, to help create a more accessible web. Resolving this matter allows us to remain singularly-focused on developing and maintaining the best-in-class solutions that support our customers along their accessibility journey.”

Our response to the FTC settlement:

  • accessiBe’s technology is reliable and effective

    The FTC’s complaint didn’t challenge our technology’s ability to render websites compliant with the ADA. The allegations focused on endorsement disclosure and caveats regarding WCAG conformance claims.

  • We respectfully disagree with the allegations

    accessiBe is not admitting to any of the FTC’s claims, which were largely based on outdated information from 2019-2022. We reviewed the claims thoroughly with third-party experts and were unable to reproduce many of the alleged errors.

  • The FTC may have utilized flawed testing methodologies

    Our internal team of developers and accessibility experts, together with third-party experts we hired, noted significant concerns with the testing methodologies possibly used by the FTC in its inspection process.

Our record speaks for itself

No customer has ever lost a court case

accessiBe has an excellent record when it comes to litigation support - no customer has ever lost a court case due to accessWidget not supporting their website’s accessibility. In fact, A U.S. District Court recognized accessWidget as an effective tool in addressing accessibility barriers, using it, among others matters, as grounds for dismissing ADA compliance-related claims.

We have tens of thousands of satisfied customers and partner with hundreds of organizations in the disability space, many of whom use our solution on their own websites. We’re fully committed to standing by our partners and our customers.
