Guidance, Not Approval

Use the site to improve documentation practice, not as a substitute for authority instructions or qualified project advice.

Terms year: 2026

Publisher and scope

This website is published by Trailscootermeteor Dokumentation GmbH, Bauhofstraße 9, 30159 Hannover, Germany; Amtsgericht Hannover, HRB 227514. Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected].

The website provides general, independent information about organising and checking construction permit documentation. It is not a government service, permit submission platform, certification body or professional appointment. References to authorities and standards organisations do not imply affiliation, endorsement or delegated authority.

No approval or compliance determination

Local authorities determine actual submission requirements and make decisions through their applicable procedures. Our articles, examples, tables and draft text do not establish legal applicability, technical compliance, completeness for a particular application or a right to approval.

Nothing on the site replaces advice from an appropriately qualified architect, engineer, legal adviser or other professional. Always verify current requirements against the responsible authority’s official sources and the applicable legal framework. Where sources conflict or the route is uncertain, seek clarification rather than relying on a generated summary.

Use of the local tool

The contact query composer produces editable plain text from the information you enter. It does not assess a design, contact an authority, transmit a message or upload a file. Copy and download functions operate only when you choose them. Review the output before using it and select the appropriate recipient yourself.

Do not enter information you are not authorised to use. Avoid unnecessary personal data, security-sensitive details and confidential project records. A downloaded or copied draft becomes subject to your device, storage and onward-sharing arrangements. See Privacy for more detail.

Accuracy, availability and external sources

We aim to explain documentation methods clearly, but laws, forms, technical standards and portal requirements change. Content may contain errors or become outdated. Source links are provided for reference; external services control their own content and availability. A link does not guarantee that a particular page remains current.

The site and its local tools may be updated, interrupted or withdrawn. Maintain your own project records and do not rely on the website as a repository. Save any draft you need before leaving the page.

Permitted use and content rights

You may read the guidance, link to the site and use the administrative methods in your own work. You may use, edit and share the query text you generate from your own inputs. Site editorial content and visual design remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law; statutory exceptions, including lawful quotation, remain unaffected.

Do not interfere with website operation, attempt unauthorised access, distribute malicious content or misrepresent this website as an authority approval service. Do not present example records as genuine authority determinations.

Responsibility and mandatory rights

You remain responsible for project decisions, submissions, professional appointments and verification of sources. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses caused by treating general information as project-specific advice or relying on an unreviewed draft.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is unlawful, including applicable liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or mandatory statutory rights. Any applicable consumer protections remain unaffected.

Changes and contact

These terms may change as the website evolves. Review the current version when using the site’s tools or guidance. For an editorial correction, identify the page, passage and supporting source through the contact page.
