Terms of Service

Last updated: February 28, 2026

1. Scope and Contracting Party

These Terms of Service govern the use of the StadtListe platform (stadtliste.de), an online directory for local businesses in Germany. The platform is operated by StadtListe (referred to as "we" or "StadtListe").

By accessing and using this website, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you use our services on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these terms.

2. Our Platform

StadtListe is a bilingual (German and English) local business directory for Germany. We help local businesses get found online and give users a clear, curated way to discover restaurants, shops, and services in their city.

Our services include:

  • Free listings — any business can be listed for free
  • Premium business pages — a complete, individually designed page as a digital presence
  • Advertising slots — visibility through carousel and inline advertising on the home page

3. Free Business Listings

3.1 Submitting a Listing

Anyone can submit a business for free via our "Submit Business" form. All submissions are reviewed by our team before publication. We reserve the right to decline or edit listings that are incomplete, inaccurate, or do not meet our guidelines.

3.2 Accuracy of Information

Business owners who claim a listing are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. StadtListe is a directory service and does not assume liability for the correctness of individual listing content.

4. Premium Business Pages

4.1 What's Included

A Premium business page gives you a complete, individually designed digital presence on StadtListe — complementing or replacing your own website. It includes:

  • Photo gallery, opening hours, contact details, directions
  • Menu or services overview
  • Highlights and key features of your business
  • Priority placement in search results and category listings
  • Bilingual presentation (German and English)

4.2 Pricing

Premium pages are available for €39 per month or €390 per year (equivalent to 2 months free, saving €78). All prices are subject to applicable VAT.

Special pricing may apply for early adopters. Details will be provided in the individual offer.

4.3 Setup and Term

Your Premium page is set up by our team within 2 business days after the contract is signed. The minimum term is one month. Annual subscriptions run for 12 months from the setup date. Cancellations are possible up to 14 days before the end of the current billing period.

5. Advertising Slots

5.1 Available Ad Formats

StadtListe offers two types of advertising placements on the home page:

Format Slots/City Price
Carousel Slot 1 (top position) 1 slot/city/week €499/week
Carousel Slot 2 1 slot/city/week €399/week
Inline Ad (in results grid) 4 slots/city/week €99/week

All prices subject to VAT. Availability depends on city and current bookings.

5.2 Advertising Contracts

Ad bookings are initiated via our inquiry form. The specific terms — duration, payment conditions, and cancellation periods — are set out in an individual advertising contract signed before the ad goes live.

5.3 Ad Content Guidelines

Ad content must be factually accurate, comply with applicable advertising laws, and must not be misleading, offensive, or discriminatory. StadtListe reserves the right to decline or remove ads that violate these guidelines.

6. User Obligations and Prohibited Activities

Users of the platform agree not to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or unlawful content
  • Scrape or automatically extract data from the platform without explicit permission
  • Take actions that overload or damage the platform's infrastructure
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or data
  • Claim business listings that do not belong to you

7. Intellectual Property

The design, code, and all content created by StadtListe are protected by copyright and remain the property of StadtListe. The StadtListe name and logo are also protected.

By submitting content (e.g. business photos, descriptions), you grant StadtListe a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use and display that content on the platform.

8. Disclaimer of Liability

StadtListe provides the platform as a directory service. We make no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of business information submitted by third parties.

StadtListe is not liable for damages arising from the use or inability to use the information provided, unless such damage is caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence on our part.

StadtListe accepts no liability for the content of external websites linked from our platform.

9. Changes to These Terms

StadtListe reserves the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Where changes are material, active users will be notified by email. Continued use of the platform after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The date of the last update is always shown at the top of this page.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the German courts.
