Accessibility Statement
1. Microenterprise status
MA METHOD sp. z o.o. is a microenterprise within the meaning of Article 2(3) of the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of 6 May 2003, i.e. an enterprise which employs fewer than 10 persons and whose annual turnover and/or annual balance-sheet total does not exceed EUR 2 million.
Pursuant to Article 4 (5) of Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 (the European Accessibility Act) and to Article 4 of the Polish Act of 26 April 2024 on ensuring compliance with accessibility requirements of certain products and services by economic operators (Ustawa z dnia 26 kwietnia 2024 r. o zapewnianiu spełniania wymagań dostępności niektórych produktów i usług przez podmioty gospodarcze, Dz.U. 2024 poz. 731), the Act does not apply to services offered or provided by microenterprises. The same exemption applies under the Italian transposition (Decreto Legislativo 27 maggio 2022, n. 82, attuativo della Direttiva (UE) 2019/882) for services provided to consumers in Italy. Accordingly, MA METHOD sp. z o.o. is not subject to the accessibility requirements of the Directive or of the Polish Act in respect of the services it provides, nor to the related compliance, documentation and reporting obligations.
2. Our commitment
Despite the inapplicability of the Directive to our services, MA Method Academy is committed to making its digital services usable by people with disabilities. We aim to progressively improve the accessibility of www.mamethod.com and of the legal subdomain along the lines of the European harmonised standard EN 301 549 (currently v3.2.1, which incorporates WCAG 2.1 Level AA; we will track WCAG 2.2 Level AA where reasonably practicable), in particular:
- logical heading structure on every page;
- colour-contrast ratios suitable for low-vision users;
- alt-text for meaningful images;
- keyboard-navigable forms and buttons;
- captions on important video content (where feasible);
- simple, plain-language explanations in our learning materials.
This statement was prepared by MA METHOD sp. z o.o. on the basis of a self-assessment. No formal third-party accessibility audit has been carried out. The self-assessment is reviewed at least once per year (see §6).
3. Limitations
Some third-party components we rely on (Wix templates, embedded Zoom / Google Meet calls, Stripe Checkout) are outside our direct control. We engage with these providers to encourage continued conformance with EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
4. Request accommodations or report a barrier
If you encounter a barrier or need a specific accommodation (including assistance with booking, payment or accessing learning materials in an alternative format), please contact us:
- E-mail: [email protected]
- Phone / WhatsApp: +39 351 400 4035

5. Competent authority
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Polish market-surveillance authority competent for e-commerce services under the Polish Act of 26 April 2024 (Dz.U. 2024 poz. 731), namely the minister właściwy do spraw informatyzacji (the Minister of Digital Affairs, Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji), with the President of the Management Board of the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (Prezes Zarządu Państwowego Funduszu Rehabilitacji Osób Niepełnosprawnych – PFRON) acting as the coordinating body. Italian-resident consumers may also contact the Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale (AgID).
6. Updates
This statement will be reviewed at least once per year, and updated whenever the accessibility status of our website changes materially or whenever MA METHOD sp. z o.o. ceases to qualify as a microenterprise within the meaning of Article 3 of the Polish Act of 26 April 2024 and Article 2(3) of the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC (in which case the full requirements of the European Accessibility Act and its Polish transposition will apply, and a full accessibility statement compliant with Annex V of Directive (EU) 2019/882 will be published).
