Where it gets interesting is, - is it the head office brand or the location owner who is liable when it comes to ADA fines and/or legal suits for discrimination for inaccessible checkouts via ADA regulatory requirements? The answer. Both.

A few things to help determine this is your contract with a brand and building owner. Ultimately, all involved are responsible, and it would lean toward the business owner. If the brand requires you to have a certain card and PIN reader and supplies its typical fixed mounting for the terminal, - reject it and point them to us. We can set the reality of this right away.

IRS Tax Credit. A 50% tax credit for assistive-technology our card reader terminal mounting is available. This is for businesses that make 1 million of less annual, (however), it also calls for 30 or less full-time employees that get the tax credit too.

What we do know is, you are not in ADA compliance at your checkout when it comes to your fixed mounted POS terminal.

Even if you get one to start, - it is a start, but with the new card and PIN reader terminal regulatory for checkout coming in 2024, faster for you is better for you.
