In Switzerland, the Federal Act against Unfair Competition (UWG) requires web shops and commercial websites to state their identity clearly: name or company, address and a direct contact option such as email. Registered companies must also include their UID number.
In Germany, the obligation goes further: under Section 5 DDG (formerly TMG), business websites must state, among other things, the full name, a serviceable address, an email address, the VAT identification number where applicable and, for editorial content, a responsible person under Section 18 (2) MStV. Missing details are a frequent reason for formal legal warnings (Abmahnungen) in Germany — the costs far exceed the effort of getting the imprint right.
Our generator covers both countries and adapts the output to the selected location. Note that the generated document is intentionally in German, as imprints for Swiss and German websites must be published in German. The generated text is a solid foundation — for special legal forms or regulated professions (doctors, lawyers, financial service providers), we recommend a brief legal review.
In Germany: yes, as soon as it is not purely private. In Switzerland: for commercial offers and web shops. Since Swiss websites often address German visitors as well, a complete imprint is recommended in any case.
In Germany, competitors or associations can issue formal legal warnings (Abmahnungen) that come with significant costs. In Switzerland, a missing imprint can constitute a violation of the UWG.
It must be a serviceable address — a PO box alone is not sufficient in Germany. If you do not want to show your home address, you can use a business address or an office service.
For standard SMEs, the generator covers the mandatory details. For regulated professions or if you are unsure, have it briefly reviewed by a lawyer.
