Terms & Conditions

Short and without legalese. These terms apply to the paid Pro Report. The freely accessible content on app.gewerbecheck.at has no terms — it's simply there, free and without signup.

This English text is a convenience translation; the German version is legally binding.

1. Contracting party

The provider of the Pro Report is Gewerbecheck, operated as a sole proprietorship (small business under § 6 (1) 27 UStG). The full provider information is in the Imprint.

2. Product and scope of services

The Pro Report includes, for a one-time amount of €49 gross (no VAT due to the small-business scheme):

  • 12 months of access to the premium area at app.gewerbecheck.at, counted from the day the payment is credited
  • A complete report as a PDF (scope depending on the package's progress; as of April 2026: in development — an executive-summary PDF is provided initially and expanded with further sections over the term)
  • A raw-data export as CSV/Excel for the subscribed trade and region
  • Email notification of new monthly snapshots (planned, roll-out during the 12-month term — no newsletter advertising)

The underlying raw data comes from the Gewerbeinformationssystem Austria (GISA) via data.gv.at under the Creative Commons licence CC-BY 4.0 as well as from Statistik Austria. We assume no warranty for the accuracy or completeness of this primary data.

3. Order and conclusion of contract

The contract is concluded by your express order (submitting the order form or an email request) and our acceptance (confirmation by email including bank details). The contract is deemed payment-confirmed upon receipt of the full amount in our business account, whereupon the access link is sent by email.

4. Payment

Payment is made exclusively by SEPA transfer in euro to our small-business bank account. No third-party fees are incurred, neither for you nor for us (no credit card, no PayPal, no merchant of record). The bank details are provided in the order confirmation email.

The invoice amount is shown without VAT. Note on the invoice: "VAT-exempt — small business pursuant to § 6 (1) 27 UStG".

5. Right of withdrawal — important

Under the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Transactions Act (FAGG) you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. For this specific product — digital access that is provided immediately after payment is received — § 18 (1) 11 FAGG applies, however:

The right of withdrawal lapses as soon as the performance of the digital content begins, provided the consumer has expressly consented and has acknowledged that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal.

The express consent is anchored in the ordering process: our reply email with the bank details contains a clearly marked consent statement that you must explicitly confirm before the access link is sent ("I expressly consent that performance begins immediately after payment is received and that I thereby lose my right of withdrawal under § 18 (1) 11 FAGG"). Only with this confirmation is access activated. Until then: an informal withdrawal by email to [email protected] is possible at any time, and the amount paid is refunded.

Voluntary satisfaction guarantee: if you are not satisfied within the first 14 days after the access link, write to us. We refund the full amount, even if legally no right of withdrawal remains. A matter of honour.

6. Term, no automatic renewal

Access ends automatically after 12 months, counted from the day the payment is credited. There is no automatic renewal, no charge to a stored payment method, no reminder-spam emails. If you want continued access, you actively order a new package.

The PDFs and CSV exports you have downloaded by the time of expiry of course remain with you and can continue to be used.

7. Privacy

See privacy notes. For handling the contract we store only your name, email, ordered trade and transfer reference. No sharing with third parties, no tracking, no newsletter-opt-out trick.

8. Disclaimer for business decisions

The content of the package is a preparation of public statistical data. It is not to be understood as business, tax or legal advice. Concrete founding, investment or location decisions should be discussed with qualified advisers (Chamber of Commerce, tax adviser, business consultant).

9. Place of jurisdiction, applicable law

Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is, as far as legally permissible, the court with subject-matter jurisdiction at the provider's registered seat.

Disputes may be settled out of court via the EU online dispute resolution platform or the Arbitration Body for Consumer Transactions in Austria . We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in an arbitration procedure (consistent with the Imprint note under § 14 (1) UStG).

10. Changes to these terms

These terms are as of April 2026. For existing contracts the terms valid at the time of order apply. The current version is available at any time at /en/agb/.

As of 18 April 2026. These terms will be reviewed and, if necessary, refined by a lawyer before the sales go-live.
