Accessibility Statement

1. Commitment to Digital Accessibility 

​

Nightfall Guard is committed to providing an accessible digital experience for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We aim to ensure that our website is inclusive, usable, and accessible regardless of physical, sensory, cognitive, or technological limitations. Although Nightfall Guard is based in the United States, our website is accessible worldwide, and our accessibility practices are designed to support a global audience. 

​

2. ADA Compliance Statement 

​

Nightfall Guard endeavors to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including Title III, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in places of public accommodation. While the ADA does not prescribe specific technical standards for websites, Nightfall Guard follows recognized accessibility best practices to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to our digital content and services. 

​

We interpret compliance with the ADA for digital accessibility by aligning our website with established technical standards, including WCAG 2.2, Level AA, as a benchmark for reasonable accessibility. 

​

3. Accessibility Standards and Guidelines 

​

Nightfall Guard strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are widely accepted as the leading international standard for web accessibility and are commonly referenced in ADA-related guidance and enforcement actions in the United States. WCAG 2.2 enhances accessibility for users with disabilities affecting vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, and neurological function, and is structured around the principles of Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). 

​

4. Accessibility Measures Implemented 

​

To support ADA and WCAG 2.2 compliance, Nightfall Guard implements reasonable accessibility measures, including: 

​

  • Use of semantic HTML and proper document structure 

  • Compatibility with common assistive technologies such as screen readers 

  • Keyboard accessibility for navigation and interactive elements 

  • Visible focus indicators for keyboard and alternative input users 

  • Adequate color contrast and readable typography 

  • Scalable text without loss of functionality 

  • Clear labels, instructions, and predictable navigation 

  • Avoidance of content that may trigger seizures or physical reactions 

​

These measures are reviewed periodically as part of our ongoing accessibility efforts. 

​

5. WCAG 2.2–Specific Accessibility Considerations 

​

In alignment with WCAG 2.2, Nightfall Guard makes reasonable efforts to address newer success criteria, including: 

​

  • Ensuring sufficient target size and spacing for clickable elements 

  • Minimizing reliance on complex gestures or fine motor precision 

  • Reducing time-sensitive interactions where possible 

  • Supporting consistent help mechanisms and navigation patterns 

  • Avoiding unexpected changes of context 

​

Some features or content may still be undergoing improvements to fully meet all applicable criteria. 

​

6. Multimedia and Interactive Content 

​

Nightfall Guard offers multimedia content such as videos, live streams, gaming guides, and community features. While we aim to make multimedia content accessible where reasonably feasible, certain live or archived content, particularly content provided through third-party platforms, may not always include captions, transcripts, or other accessibility features. 

​

We continue to evaluate and improve accessibility for multimedia content as resources and technology permit. 

​

7. Third-Party Websites and External Services 

​

Nightfall Guard includes links to third-party websites and services, including our merchandise store hosted at https://www.spreadshirt.co.uk/. 

Nightfall Guard does not control or operate third-party platforms and cannot guarantee their compliance with the ADA or WCAG standards. This Accessibility Statement applies solely to content and services provided directly by Nightfall Guard. 

​

8. Scope of Services and Payments 

​

Nightfall Guard is an informational and community-based website focused on video games. All content and services are provided free of charge. 

Nightfall Guard does not collect, process, or handle payments through its website. Any purchases made through third-party platforms are governed by the terms and accessibility practices of those providers. 

 

9. Known Limitations and Ongoing Improvements 

​

Despite our commitment to accessibility and ADA compliance, some areas of the website may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA due to technical constraints, legacy content, or reliance on third-party tools. 

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and Nightfall Guard regularly reviews its digital content to identify and address accessibility barriers in a reasonable and timely manner. 

​

10. Accessibility Feedback and Assistance 

​

Nightfall Guard welcomes feedback regarding the accessibility of our website. If you experience difficulty accessing any content or believe that a feature may not be accessible, please contact us so we can provide assistance and evaluate potential improvements. 

​

When contacting us, please include: 

  • A description of the accessibility issue 

  • The specific page or feature involved 

  • The assistive technology or device used, if applicable 

​

We will make reasonable efforts to respond and address accessibility concerns in accordance with ADA principles. 

​

11. Updates to This Statement

This Accessibility Statement may be updated periodically to reflect changes in accessibility practices, WCAG standards, or applicable U.S. laws. The most current version will be available on the Nightfall Guard website.
