Accessibility Policy

Excalibur Crossbow Canada Inc., (“Excalibur”) is committed to identifying and removing barriers to the provision of accessible customer service.

UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES:
Our provision of accessible customer service is guided by the following principles:

Dignity – we will provide service in a way that is respectful to the person with a disability and does not belittle them

Independence – in providing service we will be guided by our customer’s wishes and will let them tell us whether they want help and if so, what type of help they want from us

Integration – the level of service, the place where it is provided and the way that we provide service to customers with a disability will be as similar as possible to that provided to other customers, differing only to the extent necessary to make the service accessible

Equal Opportunity – we will provide service to customers with a disability in a way that provides opportunity to access our product, our services and our facilities that is equal to the access given to others

COMMUNICATION:
We will communicate with customers with disabilities in a way that takes into account their disability, and will collaborate with the customer to determine the method of communication that works best for them.

Service Animals, Support Persons and Assistive Technology:
Service animals are welcome in the public areas of the Excalibur facility.
Support persons accompanying a customer with a disability are welcome and personal assistive technologies may be used in our facility.

In the event of a planned or unplanned disruption in services usually provided to customers with disabilities Excalibur will provide notice of the disruption to customers. The method of providing notice will be appropriate to the circumstances and the notice will include details of the disruption, the reason for the disruption, its anticipated duration, and a description of any alternative services that are available.
