Legal Notice & Imprint

Last updated: 27 May 2026

1. Overview

This Legal Notice is published in compliance with Article 5 of the EU Directive 2000/31/EC on Electronic Commerce, Article 10 of Spain's Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE), Articles 11 and 12 of the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065), and equivalent national transparency rules in the EU member states where EcoClaim is accessible. It identifies the operator of the EcoClaim website (the “Service”) and the legal framework that governs its current use.

EcoClaim is a software platform that scans publicly available web pages for environmental and sustainability claims and compares them against the requirements of EU Directive 2024/825 (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition / ECGT, also referred to as EmpCo) and related national transposition legislation. The Service produces automated compliance signals; it does not provide legal advice.

2. Service Operator

The EcoClaim Service is currently operated by an individual founder, in preparation for formal commercial launch and company incorporation. While in this pre-launch phase, the following identification information is provided in satisfaction of the minimum transparency obligations applicable to individual operators of information-society services under EU and Spanish law:

Operator: Guido Satriano
Operating from: Madrid, Spain
Contact: hello@ecoclaim.eu
Website: ecoclaim.eu

A commercial register entry, VAT identification number, and formal company address will be published on this page once the operating entity is incorporated. Until then, no value added tax (VAT) is invoiced, no commercial transactions are processed, and no commercial business activity is conducted in the formal legal sense of those terms.

3. Service Status

EcoClaim is currently provided as a free, pre-commercial beta service. The following points are material to any user's understanding of the Service in its current state:

  • No payments are being collected. No subscription is being charged. No invoices are being issued.
  • The published pricing page describes intended future tiers; none are currently activated for charging.
  • All current accounts operate on a complimentary basis. The tier displayed in a user's dashboard reflects the feature access granted, not a paid contract.
  • The Service may be paused, modified, or discontinued at any time during the beta phase, with reasonable notice provided to active users by email.
  • Outputs produced by the Service during the beta phase are provided “as is” and should be reviewed by the user (and where appropriate, a qualified professional) before being relied upon for any decision with legal, commercial, or compliance consequences.

4. Contact

All communication concerning the Service — including inquiries, feedback, complaints, data-protection requests under the GDPR, takedown requests, or correspondence from supervisory authorities — should be directed in the first instance to:

Email: hello@ecoclaim.eu

Reasonable response times are targeted within five business days. No telephone contact channel is currently published.

5. Hosting & Infrastructure

The EcoClaim Service is delivered through the following infrastructure providers. This disclosure is published in the interest of transparency and to support users in their own GDPR record-keeping. A more detailed sub-processor list is available in our Privacy Policy.

  • Application hosting: Vercel Inc. (United States), with edge functions served from EU regions (Frankfurt).
  • Database, authentication, and storage: Supabase Inc. (United States), with data hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt, AWS region eu-central-1).
  • Web-content retrieval: ScrapFly SAS (France).
  • AI text and visual analysis: Anthropic, PBC (United States, under Data Processing Agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses) and Google LLC (Gemini API).

Where data transfers to non-EU jurisdictions occur, they take place under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, in accordance with Chapter V of the General Data Protection Regulation.

6. Editorial Responsibility

For the purposes of § 18(2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV), Article 10(1)(d) of Spain's LSSI-CE, and equivalent national press-law provisions across EU member states, the person responsible for the editorial content published on this website is the operator identified in Section 2 above.

Where content on the Service references external case law, regulatory decisions, or legislative text, citations and links to primary sources are provided so that readers may independently verify the underlying material. EcoClaim does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of third-party material reached through such links.

7. AI & Automated Analysis Disclosure

The compliance reports, claim classifications, and suggested rewrites produced by the Service are generated by large-language and vision models operating under a structured ruleset that EcoClaim maintains itself. The role of the artificial-intelligence layer is classification against rules we maintain, not the generation of an open-ended legal opinion.

The Service does not constitute legal advice within the meaning of any national legal-services or attorney-regulation statute. Output produced by the Service is a compliance signal: it is intended to assist qualified professionals and operators in identifying claims that may warrant further legal, technical, or commercial review. The Service does not establish an attorney-client relationship, nor does it substitute for the judgment of a qualified lawyer admitted to practise in the relevant jurisdiction.

EcoClaim does not warrant that automated output will identify every non-compliant claim, that classifications will be correct in every case, that suggested rewrites will be suitable for use without further review, or that the interpretation of EU Directive 2024/825 and its national transposition legislation reflected in the ruleset will not evolve as enforcement practice develops.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of the Service excludes all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of the output generated by the Service. Use of the Service is at the user's own risk.

Nothing in this Legal Notice excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by mandatory law, including (where applicable) liability arising from gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or injury to life or limb.

Hyperlinks from the Service to third-party websites are provided for reference. The operator does not control and is not responsible for the content of any externally linked site at the time of access by the user.

9. Intellectual Property

The EcoClaim name, logo, ruleset, page layout, written content, software, and database structure are protected by applicable copyright, database-right, and unfair-competition law. They may not be reproduced, redistributed, scraped, or used to train machine-learning models without prior written permission from the operator.

References to third-party trademarks (e.g. brand names of companies discussed in case studies on the blog) are made solely for informational and editorial purposes. All such trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

10. Online Dispute Resolution

Under Article 14(1) of EU Regulation 524/2013 on online dispute resolution, the European Commission provides a platform for the out-of-court resolution of disputes arising from online sales or service contracts. The platform is accessible at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

As of the date of this Notice, the operator is not currently obliged or willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, given the non-commercial status of the Service during the beta phase. This position will be reviewed upon commercial launch.

11. Changes to This Notice

This Legal Notice will be updated when material facts change — in particular, upon company incorporation, upon activation of paid subscriptions, and upon any change to the hosting infrastructure listed in Section 5. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent substantive change. Material changes will, where appropriate, be announced to registered users by email.

12. Governing Law

This Legal Notice and any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with it are governed by the law of the Kingdom of Spain, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the user's country of habitual residence that grant the user a more favourable level of protection.

Where mandatory national transparency rules (such as § 5 of the German Digital Services Act / DDG, Article 10 of the Spanish LSSI-CE, Article 6 of the French LCEN, or their equivalents) apply to a particular user's jurisdiction, the disclosures in this Notice are intended to satisfy those rules in addition to the general EU framework.
