Accessibility

(Release: 2025, October)

Here we inform you about how we, IC Music and Apparel GmbH, implement accessibility in our online shop https://www.afm-records.de.
This information applies to the freely accessible area of our website.

1. Our services

Our online offering includes the sale of merchandise products for selected bands.
These are essentially:

  • clothing
  • music albums
  • ticket sales

2. Accessibility features of our website

We pursue the goal of creating a digital environment that is accessible to all people, regardless of their individual circumstances. Our actions are guided by:

  • Directive (EU) 2016/2102
  • Directive (EU) 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act)
  • The German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG)
  • The technical requirements of BITV 2.0 and WCAG 2.1, Conformance Level AA

According to these legal principles, our website must comply with four principles of accessibility:

perceptibility: As far as possible, everyone should be able to access the information and functions of our website.
usability: As many people as possible should be able to use the functions of the website.
comprehensibility: The content should be readable and clearly understandable for as many people as possible.
sturdiness: The website content must be compatible with assistive technologies as far as possible.

We meet accessibility requirements in our online shop as follows:

Perceptibility

  • The information provided is designed to be easily perceptible. This applies to the shape, font, size, contrast, and spacing between letters, lines, and paragraphs.
  • Where possible, graphics are used to aid understanding of the text.

Usability

  • You can access the information at any time using the keyboard.
  • You can find the information using the search function on the website.
  • Where possible, the information should have a heading, subheadings, and a table of contents. These elements serve as orientation aids.
  • Bei den Informationen zu einem Artikel oder Dienstleistung finden Sie einen Link, mit dem Sie einen Artikel in den Warenkorb legen können. Der eigentliche Kaufprozess findet Schritt für Schritt statt.

Comprehensibility

  • Insofar as we have offers available for purchase in our shop, these are also available in comprehensible language. The language level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is not exceeded.
  • The information is provided using various access options, and on more than just one channel. This means that you can read this information on the one hand and have it read aloud to you by a program on the other.

Sturdiness

  • The information on our website is compatible with assistive technologies. These technologies include software for reading aloud or enlarging web content.

We assessed the accessibility requirements and their implementation as part of a self-assessment. This means that new content is checked for accessibility within a process.

3. Offers that may not be completely accessible

  • Information about events
  • Information about bands
    This can lead to very rapid changes in sequences, especially when playing video content. This content may trigger seizures in some circumstances. We endeavor to identify this information with its dangers for people with disabilities.
