In order to enable local inventory ads or free local listings in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, you must submit an impressum (about page) for each applicable country.
An impressum has specific requirements in accordance with Article 5 of the EU E-Commerce Directive as implemented by local laws. These requirements mandate that the webpage hosted at your impressum must contain the following information:
- A physical address
- Contact information, such as phone number and/or email address
- The location where your company is registered
- Any industry-specific registration, license, or authorization
You can also use this page to display any additional information, such as information required by local laws.
