Impressum

Generally, an Impressum should contain the following information:

• Name of the website owner (a business name is usually used here)
• Registered address (please note that a PO Box – Postfach – is not considered to be a valid registered address as the owners can not typically be found there)
• Valid contact information – phone number, fax or email address If an activity needs official authorization, information about the supervising authority
• Name of the individual legal representative (typically the owner of the website or the person managing the site)
• VAT number or other equivalent state-issued number
• Any additional trade registry or license numbers In the case of legal entities, the legal form and, if information is provided on the company’s capital, the registered/share capital and, if not all contributions to be paid in cash have been paid, the total amount of outstanding contributions
