It is often opined that the ADA is without penalties for non-compliance but here's a quote from the DOJ's ADA site: "Under title III the Department may also obtain civil penalties of up to $50,000 for the first violation and $100,000 for any subsequent violation." While it is true that the ADA is honored more in breach than observance, it is also true that at some point a redress of grievances is possible, or even likely. The cost of *not* providing accessible tools when the vendor has been clearly informed of its responsibility could far exceed the cost of complying. -- Love.
