Terms and Conditions — Legal Monitor
Version 1.0 — effective from 23.03.2026
Provider: Thorsten Ahrens, Serahr — serahr.de
1. Scope
These Terms apply to the use of "Serahr Legal Monitor", provided by Thorsten Ahrens (hereinafter "Provider"). The service is exclusively intended for businesses, freelancers, associations, foundations, and other legal entities acting in the course of their commercial, self-employed, or statutory activities (hereinafter "Customer"). By registering, the Customer accepts these Terms.
2. Service Description
Serahr Legal Monitor is an automated information service. The service includes:
- Regular scanning of publicly accessible legal sources (e.g. Federal Law Gazette, EUR-Lex, data protection authorities) for changes that may be relevant to the Customer's business
- AI-powered summary and relevance assessment of identified changes
- Delivery of results via email (typically twice per month)
- One-time website scan for cookies, tracking scripts, and missing legal requirements upon registration
- Custom keyword configuration
3. Website Scan
The website scan only checks publicly accessible information on the provided website, as visible to any visitor (cookies, loaded scripts, imprint, privacy policy, terms of service). The scan does not analyze source code, server structures, databases, or internal systems. The scan result is a technical assessment, not a legal evaluation. No guarantee of completeness or accuracy is provided. The scan can only detect what is publicly accessible at the time of the check.
4. No Legal Advice
This service expressly does not constitute legal advice and does not replace consultation with a qualified lawyer. The Provider is not a lawyer and does not provide legal services within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (RDG). The information provided serves only as guidance. The Provider recommends consulting a qualified lawyer for specific legal action.
5. No Guarantee of Completeness
The Provider endeavors to identify and summarize relevant legal changes in a timely manner. However, no guarantee is given as to the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of the information. In particular, it cannot be guaranteed that:
- all relevant legal changes are captured
- the AI-powered assessment is correct in every case
- the summaries cover all relevant aspects of a legal change
Independent review by the Customer or a lawyer remains necessary.
6. Prices and Payment
The service is available in the following plans: €49.00 per month, €490.00 per year (equivalent to 2 free months), or as a one-time lifetime license for €999.00 (each plus applicable VAT). Billing is via Stripe. Lifetime licenses are limited to 100 units. A one-time free website scan upon registration is available without subscribing.
Website scans operate on a token system: each user receives 1 scan token upon registration. Subscribers receive 3 scan tokens upon each renewal (no stacking — the token count is reset to 3). Each scan consumes 1 token. Unused tokens expire upon the next refill. Existing tokens may be used during the 30-day read-only access period after cancellation.
The service also provides an API (programmatic access to findings via API key), webhook notifications (automatic call to a configured URL for new findings), and a compliance report (printable status report as PDF).
7. Contract Duration and Cancellation
The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. The Customer may cancel at any time effective at the end of the current billing period. There is no minimum contract term. Cancellation is exclusively available via the dashboard (Settings → Manage subscription) or the Stripe customer portal.
After cancellation, read-only access to the dashboard and previous scan results is maintained for 30 days. Email notifications are discontinued immediately upon subscription expiry.
8. Liability
The Provider's liability is limited as follows:
- For damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, the Provider is liable without limitation.
- For intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty, the Provider is liable without limitation.
- For slightly negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations, liability is limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages.
- In particular, the Provider is not liable for damages arising from the Customer acting or failing to act based on the information provided. This includes fines, cease-and-desist costs, or other damages caused by undetected or incorrectly assessed legal changes.
9. Availability
The Provider strives for high availability but cannot guarantee it. Maintenance, technical issues, or changes to monitored sources may cause temporary limitations.
10. Data Protection
Personal data is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy at serahr.de/en/datenschutz/legal-monitor.
11. Changes to Terms
The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms with reasonable notice. Changes will be communicated by email. If the Customer does not object within six weeks, the amended Terms are deemed accepted.
12. Final Provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is the Provider's registered office, to the extent permitted by law.
