Sure, you can always inform a business partner of accessibility issues. What kind of leverage you have to encourage them or require them to respond is really going to depend on the nature of the relationship with the partner. So far, I think most of the responses are making the assumption that the relationship is one where you pay someone else to provide a service or product. In those situations, you definitely have more leverage to require accessibility--though you may have to pay for the requirement. However, if your business partnerships differ from that, it will probably be more challenging to require accessibility.
