LiveOilPrice.com is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability, or circumstance. We strive to comply with applicable accessibility standards and to provide a positive experience for all visitors, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, or alternative input devices.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible, covering areas such as text readability, color contrast, keyboard navigation, and semantic structure.
This website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard alone. All interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form fields, can be reached and activated using the Tab key, Shift+Tab, Enter, and Escape keys. Focus indicators are provided to help keyboard users identify which element is currently active on the page.
We use readable font sizes and scalable text throughout the website. Our text content is structured with clear headings, logical reading order, and sufficient line spacing to improve readability. Users can adjust text size through their browser settings, and the site layout adapts responsively to different zoom levels without loss of content or functionality.
We strive to ensure that all text and important visual elements meet or exceed the minimum contrast ratios recommended by WCAG 2.1 AA. We avoid using color as the sole means of conveying information. Important indicators (such as status messages or active states) are reinforced through text labels, icons, or other non-color-dependent cues.
All meaningful images on this website include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) to convey their content and purpose to users of screen readers. Decorative images that do not convey informational content are marked with empty alt attributes so that assistive technologies can skip them without confusion.
This website includes embedded content from third-party providers, such as TradingView charting widgets. While we strive to select providers that follow accessibility best practices, we cannot guarantee full accessibility of third-party content. If you encounter difficulties with any embedded features, please contact us and we will do our best to provide the information in an alternative format.
All forms on this website include descriptive labels for each input field. Error messages and status notifications are designed to be perceivable by assistive technologies. Interactive controls such as overlay dialogs can be closed using the Escape key, and focus is managed to ensure a logical and predictable user experience.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we regularly review and update our website to address any barriers that may be identified. We test our pages using a combination of automated tools, manual evaluation, and real-world assistive technology use. We welcome feedback from our visitors to help us identify and correct any areas where accessibility can be improved.
While we work to ensure the highest level of accessibility, some content or features may not yet fully conform to all accessibility standards. In particular, certain real-time charting widgets and third-party embeds may have limited accessibility. We are actively working with our providers and internal team to address these limitations as quickly as possible.
If you experience any difficulty accessing content on this website, or if you have suggestions for improving accessibility, we encourage you to contact us. We take all feedback seriously and will make every reasonable effort to provide the information you need in an accessible format. You may reach us at .
We are committed to meeting the accessibility requirements outlined by the Accessible Canada Act and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), as well as other applicable provincial and international accessibility legislation. We view compliance not as a minimum standard, but as a foundation for creating a genuinely inclusive online experience.
