Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

1. Scope and contracting party

These Terms of Service govern your use of the vontures.com website and all services provided under the business name Vontures.

Your contracting party is Lorenz Emmerich Hackl, sole proprietor, Edlingstraße 9j, 8792 St. Peter-Freienstein, Austria (GISA number 39972224), operating under the business name Vontures.

By accessing this website, you agree to these terms.

2. Services

We provide digital services including:

  • Website and web application development
  • Backend systems and automation
  • Search engine optimization
  • Complete digital solutions from concept to launch

Specific project scope, deliverables, and timelines are defined in individual project agreements.

3. Project agreements

All projects require a separate written agreement before work begins. This agreement will specify scope, timeline, payment terms, and deliverables. These Terms of Service apply in addition to any project-specific agreement. In the event of a conflict, the project-specific agreement prevails.

4. Intellectual property

All content on this website (text, design, graphics and code) is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Upon full payment, clients receive the agreed-upon usage rights for delivered project work as specified in the project agreement. Until payment is made in full, all rights to delivered work remain with us.

5. Your responsibilities

When using our website or services, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information
  • Not misuse our website or attempt to compromise its security
  • Not reproduce or redistribute website content without permission

6. Prices and payment terms

All prices are net prices. As a small business exempt from VAT pursuant to § 6 (1) no. 27 of the Austrian VAT Act (UStG), we do not charge value added tax; the amount invoiced is the amount payable.

Payment terms are defined in individual project agreements. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due within 14 days of issuance without deduction. In the event of late payment, statutory default interest under Austrian law applies.

7. Right of withdrawal for consumers

If you are a consumer within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) and the contract was concluded exclusively by distance communication, you have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving any reason, in accordance with the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Transactions Act (FAGG).

The withdrawal period begins on the day the contract is concluded. To exercise this right, an informal notice to lorenzhackl@vontures.com is sufficient.

If you expressly request that we begin work before the withdrawal period expires, you owe a proportionate amount for the services already rendered up to the point of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal expires prematurely once the service has been fully performed, provided performance began with your express consent and acknowledgement that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal.

This section does not apply to business customers (entrepreneurs within the meaning of the UGB).

8. Warranty and limitation of liability

Statutory warranty provisions apply. Defects must be reported without undue delay after they are discovered.

We are liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence and for personal injury. Liability for slight negligence is excluded towards business customers. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profit, or data loss. Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. Statutory liability towards consumers remains unaffected.

9. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Austria, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

For disputes with business customers, the court with subject-matter jurisdiction at our registered place of business is agreed as the place of jurisdiction. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply; mandatory consumer protection provisions remain unaffected.

10. Severability and changes

Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Changes take effect upon publication on this website and apply to contracts concluded thereafter. Contracts already concluded remain subject to the terms in force at the time of conclusion.
