DRAFT – NEEDS LAWYER REVIEW BEFORE USE

Legal Notice (Impressum)

Last updated: [DATE]

Draft note: All boxes marked "TODO" are internal working notes and must be removed before publication.

TODO(owner) + TODO(lawyer): This English version is a translation for convenience. Decide whether the German version prevails in the event of any discrepancy and state this consistently in all documents.

Information pursuant to Section 5 of the German Digital Services Act (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, DDG)

[NAME] [TRADING NAME, optional – e.g. "[NAME] – Jarvis"] [ADDRESS] (street, house number, postcode, city, Germany)

TODO(owner): As a sole trader not registered in the commercial register, you must appear under your full first and last name. A trading name may only be used in addition, never on its own.

TODO(owner) / TODO(lawyer): The address must be one at which legal documents can be served (no P.O. box). Whether a business address or address service is sufficient instead of the home address: clarify with the lawyer.

Contact

Phone: [PHONE] Email: [EMAIL] [Contact form: [WEBSITE URL]/contact – optional]

TODO(lawyer): Section 5(1) no. 2 DDG requires information enabling fast electronic contact and direct communication, including an email address. A second channel besides email should be provided (in practice usually a telephone number).

VAT identification number / business identification number

VAT identification number pursuant to Section 27a of the German VAT Act (UStG): [VAT ID, if any] Business identification number pursuant to Section 139c of the German Fiscal Code (AO): [Business ID, if any]

TODO(Steuerberater): Check whether a VAT ID and/or a business identification number exists. If neither exists, delete this section. The income tax number does not belong in the legal notice.

Commercial register

[Only if registered in the commercial register (e.g. "e. K."): Register court: [REGISTER COURT] Register number: [HRA NUMBER]]

TODO(owner): If there is no registration, delete this section entirely.

Responsible for content pursuant to Section 18(2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV)

[NAME] [ADDRESS]

TODO(lawyer): Only required if the website contains journalistic-editorial content (e.g. blog, news, guide articles). For a pure product and sales page this section may be omitted.

Consumer dispute resolution

TODO(owner) + TODO(lawyer): Choose one of the two variants and keep it consistent with the Terms (Section 23). The general information duty under Section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG) only applies to traders who employed more than ten persons on 31 December of the previous year (Section 36(3) VSBG). A voluntary statement is common as long as it is accurate. Independently of this, the duty to inform under Section 37 VSBG applies once a specific dispute could not be settled.

Variant A (no participation): We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Variant B (participation): We are willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before the following consumer arbitration board: [NAME, ADDRESS AND WEBSITE OF THE ARBITRATION BOARD – e.g. Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes].

TODO(lawyer): Verify the current name and address of the arbitration board (Variant B).

TODO(lawyer): The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (ODR platform) was discontinued on 20 July 2025 under Regulation (EU) 2024/3228. A link to it should no longer be included. Please confirm that no other information duty has replaced it.

Scope of this legal notice

This legal notice applies to the website [WEBSITE URL], to the desktop application Jarvis (in the app under "Settings" → "Legal notice") and to the following other channels: [SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES / DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS, if any].

TODO(owner): The legal notice must be easily recognisable, directly accessible and permanently available: on every page of the website (e.g. footer link "Impressum"), in the app (Settings/About), in the phone web app and, where applicable, in store listings (e.g. Microsoft Store) and on social media profiles.
