Terms of Use

Last reviewed: September 2026.

Using this site

You are welcome to read, print and share anything on this site for your own use, including to help specify equipment for your department. Please do not copy it onto another website or use it in your own marketing without asking first.

What belongs to whom

The text, photographs, product images, logos and design on this site belong to Rapid Rescue Tools or to the companies that licensed them to us. Other companies' names and logos are theirs.

Product information

We keep specifications, dimensions and capacities as accurate as we can, and we update them when a product changes. Even so, the information here is for general reference. The specification that applies to your order is the one confirmed with you in writing at the time of purchase.

Safe use of rescue equipment

Rescue tools are for trained personnel. Nothing on this site replaces your department's training, standard operating guidelines, or the instructions and warnings supplied with the equipment. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and inspect equipment before use.

Orders, pricing and returns

Prices, availability, warranty and return terms are those confirmed with you or your distributor at the time of the order. This website is not itself an offer to sell on particular terms.

Links to other sites

Links to distributors and other companies are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for what they publish.

Questions

Write to us through the contact page.

Rapid Rescue Tools is committed to making www.rapidrescuetools.com accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. We are actively working toward that goal. We have not yet conducted a formal third-party conformance evaluation, and we do not claim that the site is certified or fully compliant.

What We Have Done

We have taken the following steps to improve accessibility on this website:

  • Added a skip navigation link at the top of every page so keyboard users can jump directly to the main content without tabbing through the site header.
  • Provided descriptive alt text for all content images, including product photographs and gallery images. Purely decorative and background images carry empty alt attributes and aria-hidden to suppress them from assistive technology.
  • Used semantic HTML landmark regions, header, main, footer, and nav, throughout all pages so screen readers can present a consistent navigation structure.
  • Applied a logical heading hierarchy (h1 through h4) across all pages to support assistive technology document outlines.
  • Set the page language to English (lang="en") on the root HTML element for correct pronunciation by screen readers.
  • Enforced a minimum body font size of 16 px site-wide to support readability.
  • Designed all primary text and interactive element color combinations to target WCAG AA contrast ratios.
  • Added ARIA labels to all icon-only controls, including product gallery previous/next buttons and lightbox close, previous image, and next image controls.
  • Implemented a prefers-reduced-motion media query that disables card-lift and button animations for users who have selected reduced motion in their operating system settings.
  • Applied visible focus-visible styles on all interactive elements so keyboard focus position is always apparent.

Known Limitations

Some areas of the site may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Known limitations include:

  • Heading levels on some pages skip levels (for example, moving from h2 to h4 in certain sections). We are reviewing page structures to correct these.
  • PDF datasheets linked from product pages have not yet been evaluated for PDF accessibility. If you need the content of a datasheet in an accessible format, please contact us using the information below.

Information in an Alternate Format

If you need any content from this website in an alternate format, including larger print, plain text, or an accessible version of a product datasheet, please contact us using the information below. We will respond within three business days and work with you to provide the information in a format that meets your needs, at no charge.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback about the accessibility of this website. If you encounter barriers that prevent you from accessing content, or if you have suggestions for improvement, please contact us. We aim to respond to all accessibility feedback within three business days.
