Accessibility Statement

Last updated: February 2026

Louwrens Koen Attorneys is committed to ensuring that our website www.cohabitationcontracts.co.za is accessible to all visitors, including persons with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information about our services and the ability to engage with us online.

1. Our Commitment

We strive to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, which is the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility. We also recognise our obligations under the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Section 9 — Equality) and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 to ensure that our services are accessible to all.

We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our Website to ensure the best possible experience for all users.

2. Accessibility Features

We have implemented or are working towards implementing the following accessibility features on our Website:

• Text alternatives — We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for all images so that screen readers can convey the content to visually impaired users.
• Colour contrast — We have selected a colour scheme that provides sufficient contrast between text and background colours to ensure readability for users with low vision or colour deficiencies.
• Keyboard navigation — We aim to ensure that all interactive elements on our Website, including forms, buttons, and links, are accessible via keyboard navigation for users who cannot use a mouse.
• Clear headings and structure — We use a logical heading structure and clear page layout to assist screen readers and to make content easier to scan and navigate.
• Readable fonts — We use legible font sizes and typefaces that can be resized using standard browser controls without loss of content or functionality.
• Descriptive links — We aim to use descriptive link text that makes sense out of context, so users of assistive technologies can understand the purpose of each link.
• Form labels — We aim to ensure that all form fields have associated labels so that screen readers can identify each field correctly.
• Responsive design — Our Website is designed to be usable across a range of devices and screen sizes, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

3. Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge that some areas of our Website may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations may include:

• Some older content or images may not yet have alternative text descriptions;
• Some third-party content or embedded elements (such as maps or social media widgets) may not be fully accessible, as they are controlled by their respective providers;
• Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers.

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve the accessibility of all content on our Website.
