Legal
These Terms of Service (general terms and conditions) govern the use of the website and the service Agentic-Firmenbuch.at, a hosted programming interface (MCP server) for company and financial-statement data from the Austrian company register (Firmenbuch).
These terms apply between the operator of the website Agentic-Firmenbuch.at ("Provider"; full details in the legal notice (Impressum)) and every natural or legal person using the website or the service ("User"). They apply to all present and future services, even where they are not expressly referred to in an individual case. By using the service, in particular by connecting to the MCP server or making any query via the interface (including via an AI agent), as well as by creating an account, requesting an API key or purchasing credits or taking out a subscription, these terms are accepted in full. Deviating or conflicting terms and conditions of the User apply only if the Provider has acknowledged them in writing.
The Provider operates an MCP server that makes processed data from the Austrian company register (including published annual financial statements) accessible to AI agents via a programming interface. The subject of the service is exclusively this interface together with the data provided through it. There is no entitlement to a particular feature set, a particular data coverage, a particular availability or permanent provision (see also §18).
The Provider points out that an accessible design (including within the meaning of the Austrian Accessibility Act (BaFG), in force since 28 June 2025) is not separately agreed unless it has been individually requested.
The Provider does not supply a client, an app or a user interface. To use the service, the User needs their own, self-provided MCP-capable client and integrates the interface there themselves (configuration, connection and operation are the User's responsibility).
Examples of such clients include Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, Cowork), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor or GitHub Copilot. The Provider is not affiliated with these vendors, does not owe their availability and gives no warranty for their function, costs or terms. If the client used fails or is incompatible with the MCP standard, this does not affect the Provider's performance.
Access is offered in the following models. In all models the full feature set (all query tools, full data depth, CSV export) is available; usage is billed in credits.
The credit consumption per query is determined by the current credit catalog. For AI research in the web app, consumption depends on the scope of the request, that is on the type of request (currently: follow-up, research, AI overview, deep analysis) and on the amount of data processed for it; the data queries executed within the request are included, exports are charged per the catalog. Requests with a particularly high processing effort (deep analysis) are expressly confirmed before they run. Consumption of a single request is capped at twice the base rate for its request type. The amount actually charged is shown after every answer; the available balance is visible at all times. Failed requests and requests declined by the service are not charged; charging occurs only after a successful response. The Provider may adjust the catalog and the design of the models with effect for the future (§6a, §25).
The following prices apply. All prices are net prices plus value-added tax (plus VAT) at the applicable statutory rate; VAT is shown separately in the order process and on the invoice.
| Service | Price | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Credit package S | 50 € plus VAT | 500 credits |
| Credit package M | 100 € plus VAT | 1,100 credits |
| Credit package L | 250 € plus VAT | 3,000 credits |
| Credit package XL | 500 € plus VAT | 6,500 credits |
| Credit package XXL | 1,000 € plus VAT | 15,000 credits |
| Credit package Max | 3,000 € plus VAT | 50,000 credits |
| Pro (monthly) | 79 €/month plus VAT | 1,500 credits/month included, one user |
| Pro (annual) | 790 €/year plus VAT | 1,500 credits/month included, one user; annual amount charged in advance |
| Enterprise | individual | Volume, seats and SLA per offer or contract |
Credit packages are available both to pay-as-you-go customers and to Pro customers (as an add-on purchase). For VAT-liable businesses from other EU countries, the reverse-charge procedure may apply; the VAT treatment is determined by the details captured in the order process (Stripe, §9), in particular the VAT identification number.
(1) The Provider is entitled to adjust prices (in particular credit prices, package tiers, the billing rates per data query, per company and per request type, as well as subscription fees) with effect for the future, for example in the event of changes to sourcing or model costs, the scope of services, market conditions, or for other objective reasons.
(2) Credit packages already purchased keep the conditions agreed at the time of purchase until the end of their validity. Price changes apply only to future purchases and to usage after they take effect; the applicable rate is displayed transparently before use.
(3) Changes to subscription fees (Pro) are announced by e-mail at least 30 days before they take effect and apply no earlier than from the next billing period. In the case of an increase, the customer may terminate the subscription extraordinarily with effect from the date the change takes effect; the money-back guarantee for unused credits (§7) remains unaffected.
(4) The current prices can be viewed on the pricing page.
The User may return unused paid credits at any time within their validity period (§6). The refund equals the pro-rata purchase price of the respective package, calculated as the number of unused credits multiplied by the effective price per credit of that package. The refund is made to the original payment method; upon the refund the package concerned is closed and the remaining credits lapse.
Depending on the chosen variant, the Pro subscription runs monthly or annually and renews for the chosen period unless it is cancelled effective at the end of the current billing period. Cancellation is possible at any time via self-service through the payment provider's customer portal (§9), reachable without login via Manage/cancel subscription. Pro access remains active until the end of the period already paid for. Fees already paid for the current period are not refunded pro rata, to the extent legally permissible; the monthly allowance of the current period lapses at its end (§6).
After the subscription ends, purchased, still valid credit packages remain usable unchanged; the account continues to exist and can be continued at any time via packages or a new subscription.
The right of both contracting parties to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. For the Provider, good cause exists in particular in the event of a substantial breach of §14.
Payment processing is handled by the payment service provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.). Credit packages are processed as a one-time payment, the Pro subscription as a recurring payment. The Provider stores no complete payment data (e.g. card numbers); these are processed exclusively by Stripe. Invoices as well as management and cancellation of the subscription are handled via the Stripe customer portal. For data processing, see the privacy policy.
If a due subscription payment is not completed (e.g. a failed debit), the Provider may end the subscription or withhold the included monthly allowance; statutory consequences of default remain unaffected. Already purchased, valid credit packages remain unaffected and can continue to be used. In the event of breaches of §14, the Provider may suspend access without prior notice.
Consumers (§ 1 of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) / FAGG) generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for paid contracts concluded online. Since credits are provided as a digital service immediately after payment, the Provider requires express consent to immediate performance in the order process; upon full consumption of the service, or as provided by the FAGG, the right of withdrawal may expire early. Separate information about this is provided in the order process. Independently of this, the (more extensive) money-back guarantee under §7 is available to consumers and businesses alike.
Towards businesses (B2B) there is no statutory right of withdrawal; here §7 (money-back guarantee) and §8 (cancellation) apply.
The User cooperates to the extent required for the provision of the service. In particular:
The User undertakes not to misuse the service. In particular, the following are prohibited:
High-volume or process-driven use. The above limits are directed against abusive replication, not against legitimate high-throughput use. High-volume, process-driven use, for example an automated service that continuously reconciles tens of thousands of companies, requires a dedicated access with higher limits (Enterprise), so that the Provider can guarantee throughput and reliability accordingly. In practice this becomes relevant as soon as usage permanently exhausts or exceeds the technical limits (currently 600 queries/minute or 100,000 queries/day), or an automated process continuously retrieves a substantial part of the dataset. In these cases the Provider asks to be contacted in advance via the contact details stated in the legal notice (Impressum). The above restrictions on the re-use of personal data remain unaffected.
In the event of breaches, the Provider may suspend access (the API key) without prior notice.
The User receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right, limited to the term of the contract, to use the interface and the data provided through it for their own use within the scope of these terms. No further rights are granted. For the underlying company register data, the license under §17 additionally applies.
The data provided originates from the Austrian company register and is processed automatically. It is provided "without warranty". The Provider gives no warranty for accuracy, completeness, currency or fitness for a particular purpose. Use of the service and the data is exclusively at the User's own risk and responsibility.
The data does not constitute legal, tax or investment advice and does not replace an official company register excerpt. The official company register is always authoritative. Decisions based on the data are made at the User's own responsibility.
The underlying data originates from the Austrian company register / Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ, Justiz) and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).
Anyone who re-uses or publishes the data obtained via the service assumes the obligation to state the source and cites: "Österreichisches Firmenbuch / BMJ (Justiz), CC BY 4.0". This attribution obligation is passed on to the User with the use of the service.
There is no guarantee of availability unless separately agreed (Enterprise). The service may be changed, restricted, interrupted or discontinued at any time. Maintenance, outages or limits do not give rise to any claims; §7 (money-back guarantee for unused paid credits) remains unaffected.
To the extent and for as long as the provision of the service is prevented or delayed by force majeure (e.g. natural disasters, strikes, failure of the power or telecommunications supply, failure of third-party inputs, acts of public authority, changes in the law taking effect after conclusion of the contract), this does not constitute a breach of contract.
Towards businesses, the warranty period, insofar as applicable to the paid service at all, is six (6) months; an update obligation within the meaning of § 7 VGG (Austrian Warranty Directive Implementation Act) is excluded to the extent legally permissible, and the right to plead defectiveness pursuant to § 933 para 3 ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) is excluded. If a defect is due to a failure of the User to cooperate (§13), free rectification of defects is excluded.
Towards consumers, the statutory warranty rights (in particular under the VGG/ABGB) apply unchanged; the above restrictions do not apply to consumers.
The Provider is liable for culpably caused damage only in cases of intent and gross negligence. Liability is excluded for indirect damage, such as lost profit, costs of a business interruption, data loss or third-party claims, as well as for damage arising from decisions made on the basis of the data provided. For culpably caused personal injury, the Provider is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions. Mandatory statutory liability grounds (in particular under the Austrian Product Liability Act as well as claims that cannot be waived vis-a-vis consumers) remain unaffected. The Provider is not liable for disruptions of the telecommunications or client infrastructure of the User or third parties (§3).
The processing of personal data (including for account creation, payment and use, as well as regarding personal data published in the company register) is described in the privacy policy pursuant to Art. 13/14 GDPR (DSGVO).
Logging per query: For billing purposes, prevention of misuse, product improvement and as evidence in the event of a complaint, the Provider logs for each query via the interface: the time of request and response, the query tool used including its query parameters (e.g. filters set), the legal entities returned (company register numbers) and the names of the data fields delivered, hit counts, the respective data version, credits consumed, as well as a session identifier and a pseudonymous account identifier (key hash). These logs are retained for up to 400 days and then deleted automatically.
No access to conversations: The Provider has no access to the conversation, the inputs (prompts) or any other content in the User's AI tool. Visible are exclusively the structured queries (tool calls with their parameters) that the respective AI client transmits to the interface. For searches made directly on the website, the question entered there is processed to answer it and is logged accordingly.
(1) The User may upload company lists (CSV, Excel) for matching against the register and submit bug reports including screenshots via the feedback form ("User Content"). For list matching the file itself is not stored; the extracted rows (company names, register numbers) are stored for 30 days, screenshots from bug reports for the duration of their handling. The User may delete User Content at any time or request its deletion.
(2) User Content remains the property of the User. The User grants the Provider the non-exclusive right, limited to the storage period, to store and process it solely to render the requested service (matching, display in the User's own account, bug fixing). No further use takes place, in particular no enrichment of the Provider's data set and no model training.
(3) The User warrants that they are entitled to submit the User Content and that it contains no unlawful content. Where User Content contains personal data of third parties, the User remains the controller within the meaning of the GDPR; the Provider processes such data as a processor on the User's instructions. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is available on request.
(4) To the Provider, User Content is data, not instructions: text inside uploaded files changes neither the rules nor the behaviour of the service. Information originating from User Content is marked as non-official in answers.
Each contracting party treats the other party's trade secrets that have become known to it in connection with the contract as confidential and does not make them accessible to third parties, unless they are generally known, were already known to the recipient without a duty of confidentiality, or must be disclosed on the basis of a final administrative or judicial decision.
The usage relationship can be ended by either party at any time without notice period. The User can have their account and key removed via the unsubscribe/deletion route (see privacy policy). A running Pro subscription must additionally be cancelled in accordance with §8. For still valid paid credits, a refund request under §7 is recommended before deletion; upon account deletion, remaining credits lapse. The Provider may deactivate access in the event of breaches or discontinuation of the service.
Nothing changes for contracts and accounts existing before the effective date of the switch to the credit model: They continue unchanged on the previous conditions, including the previous scope of services, the previous prices (including the VAT arrangement applicable there) and the previous cancellation provisions.
For these existing contracts, the version of the Terms of Service applicable at the time of conclusion of the contract continues to apply insofar as the present version would be disadvantageous to them. A switch to the credit model takes place only at the User's express request.
The Provider may adjust these terms with effect for the future, in particular in the event of changes to the feature set or the legal situation. The current version is available on this page. Material changes to running paid contracts will be communicated to the User in advance; in that case the User may cancel effective as of the change taking effect. §24 (existing customers) remains unaffected.
Amendments and additions must be made in writing; this also applies to the waiver of the written-form requirement. Should individual provisions be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected; the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid arrangement that comes closest to its economic purpose. Austrian law applies, to the exclusion of its conflict-of-law rules and of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Towards businesses, the court with subject-matter jurisdiction in Vienna is agreed as the place of jurisdiction; towards consumers, the statutory jurisdictions apply.
In the event of disputes arising from this contract that cannot be resolved amicably, the involvement of a registered mediator (within the meaning of the ZivMediatG, the Austrian Civil Law Mediation Act) specializing in business mediation is recommended as a business-friendly means of dispute resolution. For consumers, there is additionally the option of online dispute resolution via the European Commission's platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr). The Provider is not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, but participates voluntarily where provided for by law.
