Accessibility Statement
Tarps Now® is committed to making its electronic and information technologies accessible to individuals with disabilities by substantially meeting the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d), (as amended in 1998). Section 508 is a federal law that provides individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the provider of such information. The Section 508 details technical criteria that are used to measure general conformance with the standards. More information on Section 508 and the technical standards can be found at www.section508.gov.

Adobe Acrobat PDF Files
Many of the pages and documents on the Tarps Now Web site are rendered in HTML. HTML formats are generally accessible to people who use screen readers. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat® Portable Document Format (PDF).
PDF format is used to preserve the content and layout of our hard copy publications, or pages intended to be printed. Publications in PDF can only be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader®, version 3.0 or higher. You can download and get help using the Acrobat Reader at the Adobe Systems, Inc. site. The downloadable Acrobat Reader software is available at no charge from Adobe.
People using screen-reading devices generally are unable to read documents directly in PDF format, unless they have an accessibility plug-in installed on their system along with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This plug-in is available at no charge from Adobe. Adobe also has online tools that will convert PDF files to HTML on request. To get the plug-in and latest news about Adobe's accessibility tools and services, visit the Access Adobe site.
