Compliance for the following pages, including those already published, is difficult to achieve, so they do not meet the above objectives. We continue to consider measures to meet the goal of compliance.

• Attached files such as PDFs
• Content or web pages, images, and videos created before the accessibility policy was established
• Content or web pages, images, and videos that cannot be modified due to lack of original data
• Services provided by external suppliers and associated content or web pages, images, and videos
