Hi all, I'm back on the list after a shortish absence due to a rather hurried change of job and location ... I've turned somewhat from poacher to gamekeeper, previously being involved as a developer / provider of web systems, and now being involved in scoping / commissioning such work. Anyway, my question: I'm currently involved in writing a spec for a large web development project. The accessibility issues are likely to be considerable and complex, as some of the output is likely to be map-based, and some of it is likely to consist of data tables, possibly with multi-level headings. Would it be acceptable (or even common?) to write some clause in the specification to the effect "we reserve the right to have the accessibility audited / tested by an independent body / person / group / whatever, with any necessary changes to be made at the web development company's expense". Has anyone (either on the commissioning or providing side) experience of such a clause - I must admit, I never came across one while working as a developer?
