LEGAL REVIEW 1: responsible for editorial content under § 18 Abs. 2 MStV — add "Verantwortlich für den Inhalt: Johannes Kühn, address as above" if Vividius considers the site's editorial content in scope.
Pending legal review (Vividius)
LEGAL REVIEW 2: consumer dispute resolution — § 36 VSBG requires a statement on whether ATLAES GmbH participates in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board; add the standard participation/non-participation sentence Vividius prefers, and check whether an EU ODR-platform reference is still required in its current form.

Content of this website
The content of this website is prepared with care and updated regularly; figures and dates are published with their source and calculation date where they change over time. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that every page is complete, correct and current at every moment. The information here is general information about German pension contribution refunds — it is not legal or tax advice, and it does not replace advice on your individual case.
Pending legal review (Vividius)
LEGAL REVIEW 3: liability limitation — replace the previous "liability claims against the author are generally excluded" boilerplate with the limitation formula Vividius prefers; the old text's blanket exclusion is broader than German law allows and reads as dated.
Calculators and tools
The calculators and tools on this website provide preliminary, simplified indications based on the information you enter. They are provided for your information and should not be taken as a substitute for professional advice; your actual eligibility and refund are determined by the responsible pension office on the basis of your official insurance record.
External links
This website links to external websites, including official pages of Deutsche Rentenversicherung. We review external links when we set them; we have no influence on the current and future content of external sites, and their operators remain responsible for them. If we become aware that a linked page contains unlawful content, we will remove the link.
Pending legal review (Vividius)
LEGAL REVIEW 4: confirm this replaces the 1998-style "we distance ourselves from all contents of all linked pages" formula — that clause has no protective effect and signals template text.

Downloads and copies of this site for private, non-commercial use are permitted.
