Terms of Service

§1 Scope

These terms apply between Jakob Neugebauer ("Provider") and any natural or legal person who uses the website or the service ("User"). By using the service – in particular by connecting to the MCP server or by any query through the application programming interface, including via an AI agent – as well as by requesting an API key, these terms are accepted in full. Anyone who does not agree to them may not use the service. Deviating or conflicting terms of the User do not apply.

§2 Service

The Provider operates an MCP server that makes processed data from the Austrian Firmenbuch (including published annual financial statements) accessible through an application programming interface for AI agents. The service is provided free of charge and without warranty; there is no claim to any particular feature set, data coverage, or continued availability.

§3 Registration & API key

• A verified email address (double opt-in) is required. No password and no payment information is collected.
• The issued API key is personal and confidential and must not be shared with third parties. The User is liable for use made through their key.
• If misuse or compromise is suspected, the User may at any time request a new key (the old one becomes invalid) or have their account deleted.

§4 Permitted use

The User undertakes not to use the service abusively. In particular, the following are prohibited:

• circumventing or overloading the rate limits or technical protective measures;
• automated bulk queries beyond fair use, as well as any attempt to systematically replicate the entire dataset;
• the systematic extraction or further processing of personal data (in particular the names of authorised representatives) to build proprietary databases, address lists, or marketing inventories. This information originates from the public Firmenbuch and may be used for individual queries; any further-reaching commercial reuse of Firmenbuch data is restricted under Austrian law;
• use for unlawful purposes, in particular contrary to data-protection, competition or copyright law;
• reverse engineering of the infrastructure as well as interference with security or availability.

The Provider may suspend access (API key) without prior notice in the event of violations.

§5 Data without warranty

The data does not constitute legal, tax or investment advice and does not replace an official Firmenbuch extract. The official Firmenbuch is always authoritative. Decisions based on the data are made by the User on their own responsibility.

§6 Source & licence (CC BY 4.0)

The underlying data originates from the Austrian Firmenbuch / BMJ – Justiz and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

Anyone who reuses or publishes data obtained through the service assumes the obligation to attribute the source and shall state: "Österreichisches Firmenbuch / BMJ – Justiz, CC BY 4.0". This attribution obligation is passed on to the User through their use.

§7 Availability

There is no guarantee of availability. The service may be changed, restricted, interrupted or discontinued at any time. Maintenance, outages or limits do not give rise to any claims.

§8 Exclusion of liability

Use of the service and the data is at your own risk and on your own responsibility; it takes place under exclusion of any warranty – in particular regarding accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the data, as well as for direct or indirect damages, consequential damages, loss of data, lost profit or damages from decisions made on the basis of the data provided. Mandatory statutory liability provisions remain unaffected.

§9 Term, suspension & deletion

The usage relationship may be terminated by either party at any time without notice. The User may have their account and key removed via the unsubscribe/deletion process (see Privacy). The Provider may deactivate accounts in the event of violations or upon discontinuation of the service.

§10 Changes to the terms

The Provider may amend these terms with effect for the future, in particular in case of changes to the feature set or to the legal framework. The current version is available on this page at any time.

§11 Final provisions

Austrian law applies. Place of jurisdiction is – to the extent permitted – Vienna. Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

Note: These Terms of Service have been drawn up with care, but do not replace legal advice.
