(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.

There are no blinking text, objects, or other elements in the StoneGate Management Client that violate this requirement.

The StoneGate Management Client does not alter, override, disrupt or disable any other products, operating systems, or their accessibility features.

(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.

All forms have alternative text pop-ups and tab-based navigation and other standard technologies to work with assistive technology.

The StoneGate Management Client does not alter, override, disrupt or disable any other products, operating systems, or their accessibility features.

Remarks

(a) Product support documentation provided to end-users shall be made available in alternate formats upon request, at no additional charge.
