Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions of Handwerkrechnung
As of: April 28, 2026
§ 1 Scope
These terms and conditions apply to all contracts between Handwerkrechnung (hereinafter 'Provider') and the customer regarding the use of the SaaS platform.
§ 2 Service Description
The provider offers a web-based application for creating, managing, and sending invoices. The scope of features depends on the selected plan (Lehrling, Geselle, Meister, Unternehmer).
§ 3 Free Trial
The provider grants a 30-day free trial period without requiring a credit card. After the trial period expires, the account automatically reverts to the free tier — no automatic subscription.
§ 4 Prices and Payment
Prices are listed on the current pricing page at handwerkrechnung.de/pricing. All prices are exclusive of applicable VAT. Payment by SEPA direct debit or credit card, monthly or annually in advance.
§ 5 Term and Cancellation
The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. Cancellation is possible at any time with one click in the settings menu. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
§ 6 Availability
The provider aims for 99.5% availability on an annual average. The Unternehmer plan guarantees 99.9% SLA. Downtime for planned maintenance will be announced at least 48 hours in advance.
§ 7 Liability
The provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence, the provider is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typical damage.
§ 8 Data Export at Contract End
After cancellation, the customer can export their data as CSV, PDF, and ZUGFeRD XML within 90 days. After this period, the data will be deleted. Statutory retention obligations (GoBD 10 years) are the responsibility of the customer.
§ 9 Jurisdiction and Applicable Law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Place of jurisdiction for merchants is Mönchengladbach.
§ 10 Severability Clause
Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
§ 11 Right of Withdrawal and Digital Content
As the service constitutes the provision of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (§ 356 para. 5 BGB), the right of withdrawal expires prematurely once the provider has begun contract performance and the customer has given express consent for the provider to commence performance before expiry of the withdrawal period, and has confirmed awareness that such consent results in loss of the right of withdrawal. Refunds of amounts already paid for the current billing period are excluded after activation of the paid subscription. The free trial period pursuant to § 3 remains unaffected.
