Preview of Terms. This page is a non-binding preview of our API terms, published so you can review them up front. The binding version is provided to customers together with the order form before any contract is concluded.
API Agreement (version dated September 10, 2026)
These terms govern every use of the HinweisHelden IBAN API (api.iban.hinweishelden.com), including trial access. By requesting access data and using the API you accept this agreement (§ 1.2). Questions: [email protected].
§ 1 Subject matter
1.1 These general terms and conditions for the API (“API Agreement”) of the provider of iban.hinweishelden.com (“HinweisHelden”) apply to all content, features, functions, services, rules, and other services within the meaning of Software as a Service (“Services” and in each case a “Service”). The Services are provided by HinweisHelden within the framework of the contractual relationship (“Agreement”) between HinweisHelden and the respective customer as a user (“Partner”) or the Partner’s customers as additional users (“End Customers”). The contract is based – in each case as an integral part of the contract – on (i) one or more completed forms for the selection and ordering of services and for the agreement of usage fees (in each case “Order Form”) and (ii) this API Agreement from HinweisHelden in its currently valid version (“API Agreement”). The services can be used via the API to be provided by HinweisHelden.
1.2 The contract between the respective partner and HinweisHelden is concluded either by signing the Order Form or by the partner requesting the access data and using the API. In both cases the present API Agreement is accepted by the partner. The partner’s general terms and conditions may only be applied in addition to this API Agreement if HinweisHelden agrees to this in writing. No direct contractual relationship between end customers and HinweisHelden shall come into existence without a separate written agreement. Partners may only be entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB). This API Agreement does not apply to consumers within the meaning of Section 13 BGB. In the event of a conflict between the Order Form and this API Agreement, the provisions of the Order Form shall take precedence.
1.3 The use of the API and the utilization of the services are only possible on the basis of this API Agreement.
1.4 HinweisHelden may offer Partners a free trial of the API for the period specified in the Order Form (“Trial Period”). The Trial Period begins when HinweisHelden issues the access data.
1.4.1 During the Trial Period the Services are provided free of charge and without any service level, availability or support commitment. HinweisHelden may limit usage volumes and may end the Trial Period at any time without giving reasons.
1.4.2 After the Trial Period, access continues for a further 7 days (“Decision Period”) free of charge. During the Trial Period and the Decision Period the Partner may terminate free of charge in text form – email is sufficient.
1.4.3 Unless the Partner terminates before the end of the Decision Period, the contract continues as a paid subscription under the terms of the Order Form.
§ 2 Scope of services & right of use
2.1 The content of the contract is the use of the services by the partner or end customers. A detailed description of the services and the usage fees and other costs charged for them are specified in the order form. The selection of the specific services owed by HinweisHelden to the partner is made in the order form. Only the services selected by the partner in the order form are owed to the partner by HinweisHelden. The services do not include consulting, training, or other manual services, unless expressly stated in the order form or separately agreed upon in a contract.
2.2 The services offered via the API can be divided into the following categories as follows:
2.2.1 Provision of URLs for which there are indications of fraud
2.2.2 Provision of IBANs for which there are indications of fraud
2.2.3 Provision of further information that either describes the indications or enables end customers to inform themselves about the situation
2.3 The purpose of the services is to enable the Partner to use the indications of fraudulent URLs and IBANs to display a warning to its end customers, thereby preventing them from becoming victims of fraud, or to issue a warning to its end customers.
2.4 Upon conclusion of the contract, HinweisHelden grants the partner the non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide right to use the services exclusively for the purposes of the partner’s operational business under the terms of the contract for the duration of the contract. The Partner is entitled to grant its individual users (in particular end customers and its employees) the right to use the Services for the above-mentioned purpose and must ensure that these users comply with the restrictions contained in this contract. The rights of an authorized user of the services are indivisible and may only be exercised by a single person. Any unlawful use of the API and/or the services by the partner or end customer is prohibited.
2.5 HinweisHelden is not obligated to physically deliver or make the services available. The Partner is aware that access to and use of the services is exclusively via the Internet.
§ 3 Partner Onboarding & Solutions
3.1 As part of the partner onboarding process at the beginning of the contract (“Partner Onboarding”), HinweisHelden shall inform the Partner of its technical requirements for setting up and connecting to the API in order to use the Services. HinweisHelden shall only be obliged to perform manual setup work to adapt the standard solution offered for the API (“Manual Adaptation Work”) if this has been agreed in the order form (possibly against payment of a corresponding setup fee).
3.2 In addition, if necessary, a process proposal for the type, content, and form of communication to the end customer between HinweisHelden and the Partner shall be agreed upon (in particular communication channels, number of communications, frequency and timing of communications) and documented in writing as part of the Partner onboarding process.
3.3 If and to the extent that HinweisHelden has set up individual integration processes or made adjustments to the API for the partner, HinweisHelden shall generally assume responsibility for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the corresponding processes or components, subject to the following conditions:
3.3.1 The Partner must ensure the availability and functionality of the connected interfaces and its systems.
3.3.2 The agreed data exchange formats and process flows must be adhered to by the Partner.
3.3.3 Expenses incurred as a result of (i) changes on the part of the Partner (e.g., adjustments to interfaces or data formats), (ii) malfunctions and interruptions in systems on the part of the Partner, or (iii) change requests shall be charged.
3.3.4 Change requests can only be submitted to HinweisHelden with 15 working days’ notice, including a description of the requirements.
3.3.5 HinweisHelden has the right to reject or postpone change requests.
3.4 The parties are each entitled to request a regular meeting (“Quarterly Performance & Review Dialogues”) to discuss reviews and updates to technical, functional, and procedural requirements to ensure that services always meet current needs and technical conditions. As part of the Quarterly Performance & Review Dialogues, the parties shall inform each other of upcoming projects and plans that may affect the other party’s business activities (such as maintenance work, technical modifications, or planned campaigns).

Expenses for first-line support exceeding the standard quota and expenses for second-line support will be invoiced to the partner by HinweisHelden as professional services at the end of the respective billing period based on actual expenses. Support expenses, whereby expenses incurred through the fault of HinweisHelden will not be charged to the customer. Any additional quotas agreed upon that exceed the standard quota (“free quotas”) as well as the costs for usage exceeding the free quota are regulated in the order form. Unused support hours from the standard quota and free quotas expire at the end of each month.
4.3 HinweisHelden shall only be liable for damages resulting from delays in connection with support if specific dates for the delivery of support services by HinweisHelden are expressly designated as binding in the order form or otherwise expressly designated as binding in writing.
§ 5 Data protection & IT security
5.1 The parties shall observe and comply with the applicable data protection regulations (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)). When providing the services, HinweisHelden will comply with its privacy policy, which can be viewed on its website. It will be regularly updated and adapted at HinweisHelden’s discretion, provided that such changes do not lead to a significant reduction in the protection of the partner’s or end customer’s data.
5.2 HinweisHelden shall notify the partner immediately by telephone or email if it determines or has reason to believe that one of the following cases has occurred:
5.2.1 Loss of user data or confidential information,
5.2.2 Attempt to gain unauthorized access to user data or confidential data or information, disclose or use it, or
5.2.3 Attempt to alter or delete user data or confidential information.
§ 6 IP Rights
6.1 All intellectual property and usage rights (with the exception of the Partner’s right of use under the API Agreement) relating to the API and the service, including the source code, remain entirely with HinweisHelden. Only HinweisHelden may use these rights and offer them commercially on the market. Even if HinweisHelden provides individual programming or software development services for the Partner in individual cases, all existing commercial and intellectual property rights, including copyrights and any patent rights, shall remain with HinweisHelden. This includes all industrial and intellectual property rights existing in the source code and object code of the software and the associated algorithms, analyses, diagrams, tests, reports, and other documentation, including copyrights and patent rights.
6.2 The Partner acknowledges that it does not acquire any license or right to the API itself and that it may only be used in connection with the provision of the services.
6.3 Protection of sensitive evidence Screenshots of shop pages, checkout pages, emails and invoice scans may be used only internally and must not be shared with third parties, neither automatically nor manually. This serves to protect HinweisHelden’s sources.
6.4 The Partner is not entitled to:
6.4.1 make the API or services (either in whole or in part) available to third parties in any form for use in their business operations, or license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, publish, host, outsource, allow timesharing or other shared use, or exploit in any other way (unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing),
6.4.2 copy, reproduce, decompile, distribute, publish, download, disclose, send, or transmit the API or Services (either in whole or in part), regardless of the transmission medium, whether electronic, mechanical, by recording, photocopying, reverse engineering, or any other means (unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing),
6.4.3 modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise transfer any part of the API (including the analysis of data structures or similar materials); or
6.4.4 make performance results or performance comparison tests relating to the API available to third parties.
6.5 Automated disclosure remains prohibited.
6.6 The Partner undertakes to use its best efforts to prevent unauthorized access by third parties to the API and the Services.
§ 7 Partner’s obligations to cooperate
7.1 The Partner is responsible for the confidentiality and security of its access data to the API or third-party partner services (“Access Data”) and other sensitive data shared with it via the API. This means that the Access Data and other sensitive data must be kept secret and may not be disclosed. The Partner is responsible for ensuring that third parties cannot gain knowledge of the access data or other sensitive data and must take the necessary precautions to ensure confidentiality, in particular:
7.1.1 The partner must use a secure password consisting of numbers, letters, and special characters, change the password regularly, and implement adequate (IT) security measures (e.g., access restrictions, virus scanners, security updates, etc.).
7.1.2 The partner may not disclose technical access data to unauthorized third parties and must ensure that they log out successfully after using the API.
7.1.3 Any misuse of the API or suspicion thereof must be reported immediately by the Partner to HinweisHelden in writing (e.g., by email).
7.2 The partner is also responsible for:
7.2.1 taking regular and risk-adequate precautions to secure the data and content retrieved and stored in the context of using the API,
7.2.2 creating their own backup copies to ensure the recovery of data and information and to avoid loss,
7.2.3 not to use the system resources of the API beyond the volume agreed in the Order Form, whereby (i) HinweisHelden and the Partner shall regularly coordinate the usage volumes (number of API calls per time interval) with each other,
(ii) the Partner must give timely advance notice of any exceedance of the agreed amount by more than 10% (subject to HinweisHelden’s approval), and (iii) HinweisHelden reserves the right to impose usage limits on interfaces and to technically prevent such excessive usage,
7.3 The Partner must provide HinweisHelden with technical contacts who will act as interfaces between HinweisHelden and the Partner. They must have basic knowledge of the API and, where applicable, additional knowledge for the respective phase of implementation or for specific functionalities or in the context of a possible migration, as well as knowledge of the interfaces of the partner’s IT environment and the API in order to support HinweisHelden in analyzing and resolving support requests and to classify issues themselves. When drafting support requests, the relevant technical contact person at the partner should have a basic understanding of the problem that has arisen and be able to reproduce the problem. In order to avoid interruptions in support, the partner must notify HinweisHelden of any changes in technical contact persons in good time.
§ 8 Fees & Invoicing
8.1 The partner’s use of the API and the services provided by HinweisHelden are remunerated by usage fees (with transactional (i.e., one-time), recurring, consumption-based, and performance-based components) in accordance with the provisions of the order form. Unless otherwise specified in the order form, this payment obligation begins at the start of the contract and ends at the end of the contract. The order form also specifies fee intervals, contract terms, notice periods, scope of services, payment terms, and invoicing (in advance/in arrears). Unless otherwise expressly agreed between the parties, fees paid are non-refundable.
8.2 Unless otherwise agreed, invoices shall be issued annually, by the 5th working day from the start of the contract. The payment period is 14 days from the date of invoicing. Deductions from the invoice amount for costs incurred by the Partner in the course of contract performance or other items are not permitted. The Partner agrees to the electronic transmission of its invoices by email.
8.3 After expiry of the payment period in accordance with Section 8.2, HinweisHelden may suspend the provision of services until full payment has been made. In such a case, the contract term shall not be extended by the period of suspension. HinweisHelden reserves the right to terminate or suspend the contract if the Partner fails to pay an invoice within three weeks of the expiry of the payment period in accordance with Section 8.2.
8.4 After the completion of the initial contract year (12 months), the remuneration for the continuation of the contract shall automatically increase by 10% per annum. Each such adjustment shall take effect at the beginning of the respective subsequent contract year.
8.5 The Partner is obligated to pay all taxes (including sales tax), duties, and customs levies that are legally imposed on the services provided by HinweisHelden (with the exception of income taxes payable by HinweisHelden).
§ 9 Indemnification obligation
9.1 If third parties legitimately assert claims against the Partner or HinweisHelden that the other party to the contract has infringed the intellectual property rights of the third party through transmitted data, designs, software, services, or other information, the party that transmitted the relevant information to the other party must bear the costs of the (judicial and extrajudicial) defense against these claims (including legal costs) and must indemnify and hold the other party harmless from all claims, costs, and damages. This indemnification obligation requires that the party against whom the third party has asserted claims complies with the following obligations:
9.1.1 the party obliged to indemnify shall be informed of this in writing in a timely manner, at the latest within 15 days of the claims being asserted, and
9.1.2 the party obligated to indemnify shall authorize the other party to conduct negotiations with the claimant and shall allow the other party to defend itself (in and out of court) and conduct negotiations at its own discretion.
9.2 The party obligated to provide indemnification shall inform, authorize, and support the other party to the best of its ability in the defense, negotiation, and settlement of the dispute.
9.3 HinweisHelden shall not be obliged to indemnify the other party if the third-party claim is based on actions of the partner towards third parties, provided that no third-party rights would have been infringed if the API had been used by the partner in accordance with its intended purpose.
9.4 Any party that may have infringed the intellectual property rights of a third party by transmitting relevant information shall inform the other party immediately upon becoming aware of this.
§ 10 Contract term & termination
10.1 Access to and use of the API or the services shall be provided for the period specified in the order form (taking into account automatic renewals), unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this contract. Upon termination of the contract, the Partner’s right to access the API and use the services shall end.
10.2 The contract shall become effective upon signature of the order form by the Partner and HinweisHelden and shall have a term of 24 months, unless otherwise agreed in the order form. Unless the contract is terminated with a notice period of 3 months to the respective end of the contract, the contract term shall be extended by a further 12 months.
10.3 The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected. HinweisHelden is in any case entitled to suspend and block the Partner’s access data and access to and use of the API with immediate effect if:
10.3.1 the Partner is in default of payments under this contract and does not make such payments within 10 days of being requested to do so,
10.3.2 legal or official orders prohibit the operation of the API,
10.3.3 the Partner or one of its users or end customers violates another material contractual obligation.
10.4 A suspension or blocking of services by HinweisHelden does not release the Partner from its obligation to make all contractually agreed outstanding or pending payments.
10.5 If the Partner breaches a material contractual obligation and fails to remedy this within 30 days despite receiving a written notice of default, HinweisHelden shall be entitled to terminate the contract for cause. In this case, the Partner must pay HinweisHelden all agreed payments (including those for services not yet used until the end of the regular notice period) plus any expenses and taxes within 30 days of termination.
10.6 All terminations must be made in writing.
10.7 Upon request by the Partner, HinweisHelden may allow the Partner to access the API for a period of up to 60 days after termination of the contract to the extent necessary to download the Partner’s data. The Partner agrees and acknowledges that HinweisHelden is not obligated to store the Partner’s data in the event of termination and that the Partner’s data may therefore be irretrievably lost after the 60 days have expired.
§ 11 Warranty & Liability
11.1 HinweisHelden shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence.
11.2 The following applies to HinweisHelden’s warranty within the scope of its services:
11.2.1 The statutory warranty provisions apply in principle, unless the API Agreement contains deviating agreements.
11.2.2 The Partner’s right to offset, reduce (reduction of the fee in accordance with Section 536 of the German Civil Code (BGB)) and retain is excluded, unless the Partner asserts the aforementioned rights with legally established or undisputed claims.
11.2.3 The application of Section 536a (2) BGB (right of self-remedy) is excluded.
11.3 HinweisHelden shall be liable – with the exception of cases of injury to life, limb, and health, as well as in cases of intent and gross negligence (in which case full liability shall apply) – only under the following conditions:
11.3.1 HinweisHelden shall be fully liable in accordance with the provisions of the Product Liability Act, on the basis of guarantees granted by the partner, for fraudulent misrepresentation by HinweisHelden, and in the case of other mandatory statutory provisions.
11.3.2 Liability for the restriction of use and availability as a result of lawful internal industrial action is excluded.
11.3.3 The application of Section 536a (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB) (liability for damages) is also excluded insofar as the provision provides for no-fault liability.
11.3.4 For damages based on a slightly negligent breach of a material obligation, HinweisHelden’s liability is limited to the amount of damage that is foreseeable and typical for the type of business in question. Material obligations are those whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract or whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the partner regularly relies.
11.3.5 Liability for indirect damages, in particular lost profits and financial losses, is excluded.
11.3.6 Insofar as HinweisHelden’s liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of HinweisHelden’s employees, representatives, and vicarious agents, as well as to tortious claims.
11.3.7 Any further liability on the part of HinweisHelden is excluded.
11.4 Neither party shall be held responsible for omissions or delays caused by circumstances of force majeure, such as wars or acts of war, sabotage, hacker attacks or cyber attacks, fire, flooding, strikes, failure of lines or the Internet, or downtime for which neither party is responsible, or which are attributable to government measures, refusal of official permits or export licenses, or other circumstances beyond the control of the parties. Both parties are obliged to endeavor to mitigate the consequences of force majeure.
11.5 Except in cases of unlimited liability, (i) warranty rights and liability claims shall expire within 12 months after the start of the statutory limitation period, and (ii) such claims must be asserted within three months after becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim.
§ 12 Marketing
12.1 The parties shall submit to each other for prior approval all advertising, press, and other publications in which the other party is expressly mentioned or in which reference is made to its tasks and functions and which relate to this agreement or refer to the brand or company name of the other party.
§ 13 Confidentiality
13.1 The parties undertake to maintain strict confidentiality regarding the contractual relationship (including the documents governing it) and all confidential information exchanged in the course of the implementation of the contractual relationship. Confidential information within the meaning of this agreement is all non-public information that one party (“disclosing party”) transmits to the other party (“receiving party”) in connection with the performance of this contract and which is marked as confidential or which, based on its content or the circumstances of its transmission, must be treated as confidential.
13.2 The parties shall only disclose confidential information to those employees and, within the meaning of Sections 15 et seq. of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), to those companies affiliated with them who absolutely must have knowledge of the respective information for the purpose of implementing this agreement and who are themselves bound to secrecy.
13.3 The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information:
13.3.1 which the receiving party can prove was already known to it prior to disclosure by the disclosing party, without any breach of a confidentiality agreement, or
13.3.2 which must be disclosed due to a legal provision or a court or official order.
13.4 The confidentiality obligation shall remain in force for a period of three years beyond the term of the agreement.
13.5 Upon termination of the agreement, any confidential information received shall be returned to the disclosing party or, if return is not possible for technical reasons, destroyed. The disclosing party shall be notified in writing of the destruction within 30 days of termination of this agreement. Each party may retain a copy of such information if it is required to do so by law.
§ 14 Reservation of changes
14.1 HinweisHelden is entitled to amend its API Agreement with effect for the future. HinweisHelden shall notify the Partner of any amendments to the API Agreement in writing in good time, at least 60 days before they come into effect. The Partner may object to the changes to the API Agreement within a reasonable period of time, but at least 30 days, as specified by HinweisHelden in the notification of change. If the partner does not object to the changes to the API agreement, these shall be deemed to have been accepted. HinweisHelden shall inform the partner of the right of objection and the significance of the objection period in the notification of a change to the API agreement. If the partner objects to the changes, HinweisHelden is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship with immediate effect at the time the changes come into force.
14.2 HinweisHelden has the right to change the scope of functions, system behavior, or interfaces of the API. The Partner must ensure the compatibility of its systems even in the event of such technical changes. HinweisHelden shall ensure that such changes to the API do not lead to an interruption of services that significantly impairs the Partner’s business activities. HinweisHelden shall notify the Partner of invasive technical changes in advance within a reasonable period of time.
§ 15 Transfer of business
15.1 In the event of a change in the legal form of HinweisHelden or the sale of the company or the rights to the information provided, this agreement shall automatically be transferred to the legal successor with all rights and obligations.
15.2 The partner’s ongoing payments shall continue to be made to HinweisHelden’s legal successor.
§ 16 Sanctions clause
16.1 The partner warrants that neither they themselves nor any members of their executive bodies, employees, controlling shareholders (including beneficial owners) or other companies belonging to the group are listed on any EU or US sanctions list.
16.2 The Partner warrants that it has always complied with the sanctions laws applicable to it in the past, in particular those of the EU and – to the extent compatible with any anti-boycott regulations applicable to it – the USA (“Applicable Sanctions Regulations”), and that it will continue to do so.
16.3 The Partner currently has no business relationships with sanctioned persons and will not do so in the future. In particular, it will not provide sanctioned persons with funds, economic resources, or any type of products or services, either directly or indirectly.
16.4 The Partner warrants that it has complied in the past with all special legal screening obligations against sanctions lists that may apply to it and will continue to do so.
16.5 The Partner further warrants that (i) it is not aware of any (intended or initiated) investigations or administrative proceedings against it, individual members of its executive bodies, employees, controlling shareholders (including beneficial owners) or other group companies in connection with violations of applicable sanctions regulations, and that (ii) to the best of their knowledge, no such proceedings have taken place in the past five years. If this is not the case, the Partner shall disclose all relevant information (addressee(s) of the proceedings, allegations, type of proceedings, competent authority, outcome of the proceedings) to HinweisHelden.
16.6 If the partner becomes aware of circumstances that investigations or administrative proceedings are intended or have already been initiated against customers or other business partners of the partner, individual members of executive bodies, employees, controlling shareholders (including beneficial owners), or other group companies in connection with violations of applicable sanctions regulations, the partner shall immediately notify HinweisHelden thereof.
§ 17 Final provisions
17.1 There are no verbal side agreements to the contract documentation. Amendments and additions to the contract must be made in writing. This also applies to any amendment or waiver of the written form requirement.
17.2 Any assignment of rights under the contract is excluded. Offsetting is only possible with claims that have been established by a court of last instance.
17.3 This API Agreement and the contract as a whole are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from and in connection with the contract is the registered office of HinweisHelden.
17.4 Should individual provisions of the contract be invalid or unenforceable or become invalid or unenforceable after conclusion of the contract, this shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the contract. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effects come closest to the economic objective pursued by the contracting parties with the invalid or unenforceable provision. The above provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event that the contract proves to be incomplete.
