Terms of Service

1. Scope

These Terms of Service (hereinafter "Terms") apply to all services provided by Softure UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Forckenbeckstraße 67, 14199 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter "Provider") to their customers (hereinafter "Users").

The subject of these Terms is the provision of the web application "TaxFolio" for local creation of tax reports for stock options (RSU) and employee stock purchase plans (ESPP).

2. Contract Formation

The contract is formed through the use of the TaxFolio web application. By first using the application, the user accepts these Terms.

The Provider reserves the right to change these Terms at any time. Changes will be communicated to users via email or notice on the website. If the user does not object within 14 days of notification, the changes are deemed accepted.

3. Service Description

TaxFolio is a web application that allows users to:

  • Capture and manage RSU (Restricted Stock Units) data
  • Document ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan) transactions
  • Generate tax reports in PDF format (paid service)
  • Store all data locally in the browser (no server transmission)

💰 Pricing Model

The application is free to use for data entry and management. PDF report generation is a paid service processed securely through Stripe.

The application is provided "as-is". The Provider makes no warranty for the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of the provided functions.

4. Privacy and Local Storage

🔒 Privacy-First Approach

TaxFolio stores all user data exclusively locally in the user's browser. No tax data is transmitted to the provider's servers except for payment verification.

The user is responsible for:

  • Backing up their locally stored data
  • The accuracy of entered data
  • Proper use of generated reports

5. Usage Rights and Obligations

  • Commercial redistribution of the software
  • Use for illegal purposes
  • Server overload through automated requests
  • Circumventing payment for PDF generation

6. Payment and Billing

PDF report generation is a paid service. Payment is processed securely through Stripe, our payment processor. We verify payment completion through our backend server, which is used exclusively for payment verification purposes.

🔒 Backend Usage

Our backend server is used only for payment verification with Stripe. No user tax data is transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Payment Terms:

  • Payment is required before PDF generation
  • All payments are processed in real-time through Stripe
  • Payment verification occurs via our secure backend
  • Prices are displayed in EUR and include applicable taxes
  • No subscription or recurring charges

Refund Policy:

Due to the instant digital nature of PDF reports, refunds are generally not available once a report has been successfully generated and downloaded. In case of technical issues preventing report generation, please contact support.

7. Availability

The Provider strives for high availability of the application but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance work and technical disruptions may lead to temporary outages.

Since all data is stored locally, application outages are not associated with data loss.

8. Disclaimer

Important Notice: TaxFolio is a tool for creating tax reports and does not replace professional tax advice.

⚠️ Liability Disclaimer

The provider's liability is excluded to the extent legally permissible. This applies in particular to:

  • Damages from incorrect tax reports
  • Data loss due to browser issues
  • Consequential damages from using the application
  • Damages caused by third parties

Liability for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages from injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

9. Copyright

The TaxFolio application and all associated content are protected by copyright. The user receives a simple, non-transferable right of use for the intended purpose.

The PDF reports generated by the user can be used freely, as they contain exclusively the data entered by the user.

10. Termination

The user can terminate the use of the application at any time without notice. Since no registration is required, no further obligations arise.

The provider can discontinue the provision of the application with 30 days' notice. Users will be informed via the website or by email (if known).

11. Changes to Terms
