# Legal Notice

Article 5 of the EU e-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC) — implemented in the Netherlands as Article 3:15d of the Civil Code, and in Germany as the *Impressumspflicht* — requires anyone providing an "information society service" to make certain details easily, directly and permanently accessible. A blog with a public website counts, whether or not you charge for anything.

## Service provider

> **\[YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME\]***(the natural person or the registered company name)*
> 
> \[Street address — a PO box is not sufficient\] \[Postcode, City\] \[Country\]

## Contact

> Email: **\[address that is actually monitored\]**\[Telephone, if you have a business line\]

An email address is mandatory. It must allow direct and effective communication — a contact form alone does not satisfy this.

## Registration details

*If you operate as a registered business, these are required. If this site is a purely personal, non-commercial blog, they generally are not — delete this section if so.*

> Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number: **\[number\]**VAT identification number: **\[NL……B..\]**

## Responsible for content

> \[Name\] — as above

## Liability for links
