Impressum

Legal notice

Information pursuant to § 5 of the German Digital Services Act (DDG)

Service provider

[Company name and legal form, e.g. Callorin UG (haftungsbeschränkt)]
[Street and number]
[Postal code] [City]
Germany

Sole proprietor? Use your full first and last name instead of a company name, for example "Max Mustermann, trading as Callorin". A trade name alone is not enough.

Represented by

[Full name of the managing director(s)]

Only for companies such as a GmbH or UG. Delete this section if you are a sole proprietor.

Contact

Phone
[+49 000 0000000]
Email
[hello@callorin.com]

Two ways to reach you. The law requires an email address plus a second fast, direct channel. A phone number is the usual choice.

Register entry

Register
Commercial register (Handelsregister)
Court
[Amtsgericht City]
Number
[HRB 000000]

Only if your business is registered in the commercial register. Delete this section otherwise.

VAT ID

VAT identification number pursuant to § 27a of the German VAT Act (UStG): [DE000000000]

No VAT ID? If you don't have one, for example as a small business under § 19 UStG, delete this section. If you have been assigned a business identification number (Wirtschafts-Identifikationsnummer), list that instead.

Responsible for content

Responsible for content pursuant to § 18 (2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV):
[Full name], [address as above]

Only needed for editorial content such as a blog, articles, or news. For a plain service website you can delete this section.

Consumer dispute resolution

We are not obliged and not willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Optional. Callorin sells to businesses only, so this statement is usually not required. Keeping it does no harm. The EU online dispute resolution platform (ODR) closed in July 2025, so don't add an old ODR link.
