Clevver reserves the right to caution the Customer, terminate the Customer's Account or modify or delete content transmitted by the Customer, if the Customer violates any of the provisions of this § (virtual house right). Any claims for damages by Clevver remain unaffected.
When concluding contracts on clevver.io, the Customer contractual partner is solely Clevver. Clevver.io is operated in German and English; Contracts on clevve.io are conclude in German and English. German law is applicable. The presentation of the various Clevver products does not constitute a binding contract offer within the meaning of § 145 BGB but is to be understood as an invitation to to submit an offer (invitatio ad offerendum). By clicking on the button "confirm with obligation to pay" or "Order Now" the Customer make a binding purchase offer (§ 145 BGB). Upon receipt of the purchase offer by Clevver, the Customer will receive an automatically generated email confirming that Clevver received the order (acknowledgment). This acknowledgment of receipt represents the acceptance of the Customer purchase offer. A contract is concluded by the acknowledgment of receipt. By submitting the offer, the Customer assures that he is of legal age and - if the Customer wishes to conclude the contract in the name of a company - that the Customer is entitled to conclude this contract.
The Customer is obliged to state truthfully whether the Customer is a private or business Customer. Clevver may verify this information. At Clevver's request the Customer is obliged to prove the position as a business Customer, for example by presenting a trade license.
As part of the ongoing service of a Clevver product, the Customer is responsible for the permanent validity of the Customer personal information (such as current address) and account information. The Customer will inform Clevver about this immediately. Disadvantages resulting from a lack of updating of this data are at the Customer expense.
It is the Customer sole responsibility whether the individually account the Customer created comes to the attention of third parties, e.g., in the case of a lack of password protection. In the event of suspicion that the Customer access data are being used by third parties unauthorized, Clevver reserves the right to temporarily suspend the account.
Contract Term and Termination
The contract period begins with the confirmation email and runs for the contract period that was selected in the purchase then automatically renews for the same time span if the contract is not terminated.
Termination notices must be received by Clevver no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the next renewal date of the respective contract; otherwise the contract automatically renews for a further term of the same length. Termination can be effected by deleting/cancelling the product directly in the customer account or in writing to: Clevver GmbH, Friedrichstraße 155, 10117 Berlin, Germany. The aforementioned 14-day notice period applies to monthly contracts. For contracts with a term of 3 months, the notice period is one (1) month prior to the renewal date; for contracts with a term of 6, 12 or 24 months, the notice period is three (3) months prior to the renewal date. The relevant date is the date the termination notice is received by Clevver.
Special rules for consumers (B2C). For Customers who are consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB, the following deviations apply pursuant to mandatory German consumer law: A fixed-term contract does not automatically renew for another fixed term. Instead, after expiry of the initially agreed contract term, the contract continues for an indefinite period and may be terminated by the consumer at any time with a notice period of one (1) month. The 14-day, 1-month and 3-month notice periods set out above only apply to terminations during the initially agreed fixed term. Statutory rights of withdrawal and termination remain unaffected.
Termination by Customers before the expiry of the contract period does not entitle to repayment of the advance payment. This shall be subject to any repayment claims arising from circumstances for which Clevver is responsible. The Customer acknowledges that the use of the Services must in this case cease no later than on this contract end date of the Entity. The continued use of the Services will entitle Clevver to invoice the Services provided and consider the cancellation notice to be withdrawn and void.
Each product and therefore, each contract shall be terminated separately, or the Customer must clarify in his/her statement that the entire account with all products should be terminated.
In order to terminate a contract, the Customer may delete a product in his own account. That does not require any support from Clevver.
Termination can only be carried out if no further services are claimed by Clevver after expiry of the current contract period and after all outstanding claims have been settled.
The right of extraordinary termination remains unaffected. An important reason, which entitles to the extraordinary termination, exists in particular, if
- payment is not made within two months of an invoice
- there is a culpable breach of the terms of the contract, and this is not remedied within a reasonable period of time after being warned by Clevver;
- insolvency proceedings or similar legal proceedings have been instituted over the assets of the Customer, or the opening has been requested or this application has been rejected for lack of assets;
- there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the Customer intends to use the services of Clevver abusively.
It is the responsibility of the Customer to secure data upon termination of the contract before the end of the contract, as all data of the product will be deleted upon termination
Clevver shall be entitled by written notice to cease to provide the Services, if:
- the Customer or the Customers' Appointees in the reasonable opinion of Clevver fail to observe to the fullest extent these General Terms and Conditions;
- it comes to the attention of Clevver that the Entity is being used for activities which were not referred to in the application delivered by the Customer to Clevver or as subsequently advised and accepted in writing by Clevver;
- In the event of the death of Customers, including in the case of joint persons, the death of any one person, and the Customers fail or have failed to make adequate provision for the disposition of the affairs and the ownership of the account;
- in the event that any legal proceedings are commenced against the Entity, the Customers or the Customers' Appointees (including any injunction or investigative proceedings).
In any of those circumstances, Clevver reserves the right to take action pursuant these General Terms and Conditions and to treat these General Terms and Conditions as terminated without further liability on the part of Clevver.
The Customer and their representatives, acting on behalf of the Entity, understand that even after the Services have ended, Clevver may still have certain legal obligations and responsibilities based on regulatory or fiduciary requirements. Therefore, Clevver has the option to continue providing Services to fulfill these obligations, but it is not required to do so. If Clevver does choose to continue providing Services, they have the right to charge fees at their standard rate for doing so.
Verification
For each mailbox, telephone number, Business and Registered Address and Company Incorporation Service the Customer must verify him/herself according to the respective country-specific requirements. For that, one or more personal ID documents or a document confirming the leadership of a company or address must be uploaded. Verification is done by completing the provided online form and uploading the relevant documents. We work with sumsub.com for verification, which also includes liveness checks. The process and confirmation of the verification can take up to 72 hours (working days only). Our verification team will confirm your successful verification or ask you more questions for clarification. You can find the current status of your review under Services / Verification.
Without verification, Clevver may already receive and retain mail and parcels for the Customer for the selected mailbox, however, scanning, forwarding and destruction of the mailings may not occur until the verification has been successfully completed.
Even without verification, the contract is effectively concluded and the fee for the selected product is payable.
Prices
For orders of a product on clevver.io, the prices indicated on the price list for the selected product apply at the time of your order. The prices quoted are exclusive of any taxes, duties or fees imposed by the tax authorities and the Customer is responsible for the payment of all such taxes or duties. The prices are payable in main currency of your account, regardless of the currency displayed. If a currency other than the main account currency is specified in the price list, the current exchange rate will be used on the settlement date. The price overview can be found at www.clevver.io/pricing/ or on the information page in the Customer portal.
Advance payment may also be required to continue processing Customer requests.
A prepayment is only valid if made by bank transfer, 3D secured credit card payment or confirmed PayPal payment.
Terms of payment and delay
Payment may be made by credit card, bank transfer, Paypal or Cash at a Clevver Location.
If the Customer has deposited a credit card as the default payment method, the open invoice amount will normally be deducted from the credit card on the 1st of each month. For unpaid open bills, the credit card can be charged at any time. Once a charge is rejected, access to the booked Clevver products will automatically be reduced by the system until the balance is cleared. The account is still accessible. The Customer must provide proof of identity or proof of possession of the credit card used to pay Clevver upon request from Clevver.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Customers, Clevver will not pay any interest on any monies held by Clevver on behalf of the Entity and / or the Customers and / or the Customer's' Appointees.
If the Customer has selected Invoice as the default payment method, the access and use of the booked Clevver products will be blocked unless outstanding invoices are paid by the 10th of each month.
Invoices are generated electronically and can be accessed in the system at any time.
If the Customer has designated a dedicated invoicing email address in the account, all invoices, credit notes, order confirmations and payment-related notifications will exclusively be sent to that designated email address. The Customer is responsible for keeping the designated invoicing email address up to date and accessible. Invoices, credit notes and order confirmations are deemed delivered when sent to the designated invoicing email address; if no dedicated invoicing email address is designated, the primary account email address applies.
Entrepreneurs / Business Customers fall within two weeks after the receipt of the invoice without receipt of a reminder in default.
For the timeliness of the payment, it depends on receipt of the money in the account of Clevver. The Customer must bear all bank fees that might occur from either the sending or the receiving bank. The Customer must bear all costs incurred as a result of a chargeback of a payment transaction due to insufficient funds or due to incorrectly transmitted bank details. Clevver will charge a 3,5% fee for PayPal transactions.
Clevver reserves the right to suspend all services in the event of late payment and to block access to your account or not to display the received shipments in the account until the outstanding amounts have been paid. In addition, Clevver reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service if your account becomes delinquent (in default).
The Customer acknowledges that, after several reminders, Clevver will have the right to remove the telephone numbers from the Customer Account at the latest after a grace period of one month from Clevver's first attempt to deduct charges from your Clevver Prepaid Account for the Services and your ownership rights to the numbers are forfeited and that Clevver is under no obligation to compensate the Customer for any resulting direct or indirect loss that this permanent removal of telephone numbers could cause, whether purchased by Clevver or by any other provider ported to Clevver.
Clevver may request proof of identity or proof of ownership of credit cards or payment forms for payment to Clevver, and upon receipt of such proof, Clevver may decide to unblock and re-activate the Customer Account if Clevver deems such proof to be acceptable. If the Customer account is permanently suspended or the Customer unwilling to provide the requested proof, Clevver will reimburse the Customer for all payments the Customer has received, deducting any money already spent on the use of the Services.
The overdue invoices (outstanding invoices) bear interest at a rate of 1.0% per month on a pending amount or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is higher, plus all handling costs. During a suspension period (e.g., auto-deactivated), the monthly costs still incurred will continue to be charged. If the Customer or Clevver initiate termination of this Agreement, the Customer shall pay the fees due on the Customer Account. The Customer agrees that Clevver may charge the Customers credit card for such unpaid charges or charge unpaid fees in this way.
Clevver also reserves the right to use any of the stored payment methods at any time to cover a Customer's outstanding balance. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the standard payment method is always covered by the amount of pending charges and that the charge is possible.
Clevver may make use of external debt collection agencies for the collection of outstanding invoices.
If the Customer initiates a chargeback without authorization from Clevver, Clevver will forward the incurred fees plus a handling fee of € 50 to the Customer.

Product Terms and Conditions
ClevverMail & ClevverAddress
Clevver offers worldwide legal addresses and associated postboxes where we digitize incoming mail for the customers. In the Clevver platform, the Customer has control over what should be done with the mail and can order scanning, forwarding and trashing.
Use and Scope of Service of ClevverMail Account:
To receive mail into the booked account, the Customer shall fill in the power of attorney for Clevver. If the Customer opens a PO Box at a US site, each natural person or association of individuals must complete a separate United States Postal Service Form 1583 ("Form 1583") to receive mail and / or parcel mail in the mailbox.
For a P.O. box at Clevver locations in Switzerland, a sub-address must be registered with the Swiss Post Office, which is charged with an annual fee (1.1.-31.12) ofEUR 80and is due every year on the 1 st of January. The annual fee of 80 EUR is not included in the monthly/annual basic fee. On top of the Swiss Post Registration Fee mentioned in the first sentence, Clevver charges a fee of 19,95 Euro per calendar year for the registration with Post CH AG . In case the customer account details, the First Name, Last Name or the Company Name, change within the current calendar year, Clevver needs to adjust the sub-address with the Post CH AG accordingly. For that adjustment a service fee of 19,95 Euro will apply. However, this adjustment is only possible if the company has been legally renamed, which shall be proven by a legal document. In case the adjusted company name represents a new entity, the registration fee from will apply again according to the terms and conditions of Post CH AG. If the customer account details have been adjusted, please allow us a preparation time of at least 2 to max. 4 weeks since we need to wait for the final confirmation of Post CH AG. The required legal document to prove a legal adjustment of the company name shall be sent to [email protected] within 2 weeks after the adjustment has been made by the customer. In case Clevver does not receive the document within the two weeks, Clevver assumes that the adjusted company name represents a new entity and the registration fee of 80 Euros will apply again according to the terms and conditions of Post CH AG.
The Customer may use the features of the Clevver website and the account you have booked immediately after the conclusion of the contract. Clevver can begin digitizing letter and parcel shipments immediately if the postal service provider (such as Deutsche Post AG) handles the forwarding of the Customer addressed mail to Clevver.
Clevver accepts mail and parcel shipments for the Customer at the booked postbox address and informs the Customer about them, unless the Customer has changed the default setting for notification. Subsequently, the Customer has the option to scan only the envelope as well as the contents of the letter or to send the letter / post to the forwarding address.
When a "content scan" is ordered on a package, Clevver takes a picture of the content without removing it from the box. If the package is an Amazon / Ebay / etc. return package, the image will contain the return barcode. If an article contains several other articles, such as letters or individual packages, each article in a scan article order is added to the Customer account as a new article. The included articles will not be opened.
If an item contains a PIN document (for example, a bank card, rear view of a credit card), the PIN document is registered as a new item in the postbox and can be assigned as a "content scan". This is only at the expressly written request of the Customer.
If an oversize item is received, it will be registered as an oversize item / box in the system. An article is considered as an "oversized package" if it exceeds the following dimensions: Length: 60 cm; Width: 40 cm; Height: 40 cm or 65 kg or if a dimension is greater than 100 cm. Such articles do not have a free storage period in any of the bookable mailbox types. On these postal items daily storage fees are charged according to the price list of this box. The calculation for the daily storage fee is: (length x width x height) /1.000.000 x price factor. (The price factor is a factor in the price list that is determined for each postbox.) If no price factor is determined, the standard price factor is 50.)
If it is not possible to determine to whom an item belongs, the item of mail will be returned to the appropriate delivery service stating that the item was undeliverable.
The exact scope can be found in the performance overview, which is available for private and business Customers at https://www.clevver.io/pricing/prices.html . Clevver is also not obliged to provide services if a postal service provider refuses to deliver to Clevver. Letters or documents that violate legal or official prohibitions are excluded from digitization.
The digitization of the mail or the documents takes place exclusively on working days and within approximately 24 to 48 hours from receipt of the mail or the documents at Clevver. This period is extended for 100-page mail or if necessary, information for a shipment (e.g., customs information) is not provided by the Customer.
The displayed processing times are not binding in any way. Binding processing periods must be agreed with Clevver in advance. The observance of processing periods depends on the timely and proper fulfillment of the contractual obligations of the Customer. Clevver may set a grace period if the specified deadline is not met, and the Customer can only withdraw from the contract after the grace period expires without result.
Due to these processes, it can occasionally come to damage of individual documents of the correspondence or to the non-registration of individual pages of a document within the digitization of correspondence. Should this be the case, Clevver shall be entitled to make changes required to the correspondence service to the individual correspondence documents concerned for the purpose of improving their identifiability ("correction process"). To clarify this, the customer affected by the correction process is not entitled to any price reduction or other claims for defects.
In addition, clarifying and beyond the correction process, there is no review of the letter and parcel traffic on its substantive plausibility and its legality.
Clevver is free to have the service performed in whole or in part by a third party (e.g., subcontractor).
Clevver reserves the right to cancel an order or the contract for events where Clevver cannot process a scan or forwarding order.
The forwarding of parcels usually requires a pre-payment or a payment of a deposit in the Customer's Account.
Mail items that need to be paid upon delivery can generally not be accepted by Clevver. However, if Clevver accepts a delivery that requires a payment, the Customer will be charged for the amount paid plus the fees according to our price list.
Once the mail has been scanned, the Customer can obtain the scan result in the booked postbox in his account for a one-year period. After the item of mail has been destroyed or forwarded to the Customer, the digital document is placed in the trash and automatically deleted after 30 days, or the Customer carries out the deletion himself.
If received mail and parcels are not destroyed or forwarded, they will be stored. The storage will be charged to the customer as shown in the price list.
Clevver may, at its sole discretion, suspend your account temporarily or permanently if it suspects that the account is being used for fraudulent activity or if Clevver suspects that a payment received may be fraudulent.
If authorities, postal operators, payment providers and banks or the sender of an item claim fraudulent or illegal activity in relation to a Customer's account, Clevver will ask the Customer to comment on the case. The Customer has two weeks to comment on the case. All account activity may be suspended by Clevver until the matter has been resolved. Clevver may in such cases ask the customer to confirm the account verification with notarized documents or to provide legitimacy documents for the mailing or payments. Customer agrees that Clevver may use Customer's name, documents and statements, including the termination of the Agreement between the sender of a product and a Clevver customer.
If a sender of an item proves the termination of the contract with a Customer of Clevver, this item will be made available to the sender so that he can pick up the item or have it returned. The Customer will be informed and has two weeks to respond.
If Clevver receives reports / messages from prosecuting authorities suspecting that your account has been misused for fraudulent activity or other criminal activities, Clevver reserves the right to share information and data about your account and service usage with these prosecuting authorities.
If Clevver receives reports / messages from the police or other trusted authorities that the Customer has used the service for fraudulent or unlawful activities, Clevver has the right to immediately terminate the Customer access to this Service.

AI features in the postbox (Google Gemini)

Further details on the data processing are set out in our Privacy & Data Protection Policy.

The amount of the deposit will be deducted, if the Customer has outstanding invoices or fines. The Customer shall for the return of the deposit provide his bank details. The deposit does not dispense the Customer from the obligation of the contract or the enforcement of claims for damages on behalf of Clevver.
If the Customer does not want to use the service anymore before the Expiry Date of the contract, the Customer will be released from the Contract and the associated obligations, if the Customer paid the full amount of fees for the contract term.

ClevverNumber
Clevver offers international telephone numbers (local, national, mobile and toll-free, depending on country availability) which can be ordered, managed and forwarded through the Clevver platform and APIs.
Use and Scope of Service:
The Customer can order numbers in the available countries from the Clevver pricing page. Activation of a number is subject to the country-specific verification, address and documentation requirements imposed by the respective local regulators or carriers (e.g. proof of local presence, business registration, ID document). The Customer is responsible for providing the requested documents and for ensuring that the use of the number complies with all applicable local laws and regulations. Some countries require an additional setup or registration fee, which will be charged in addition to the monthly fee shown in the price list.
Forwarding of incoming calls and SMS to a destination of the Customer's choice (mobile, landline, SIP, voicemail or other supported endpoints) is subject to the per-minute or per-message rates set out in the price list. Charges for outbound forwarding are deducted from the Customer's prepaid balance or are invoiced post-paid, depending on the applicable account setup. The Customer is responsible for maintaining a sufficient prepaid balance; if the balance falls below zero or charges cannot be deducted, Clevver may suspend forwarding without prior notice.
Number portability and ownership: Telephone numbers are made available to the Customer for the term of the contract; legal ownership of the number remains with the underlying carrier or registry. Porting a number to or from Clevver requires a separate request and may be subject to additional fees, lead times and the cooperation of the receiving or releasing carrier. Clevver cannot guarantee that any specific number can be ported.
Termination and forfeiture: The Customer acknowledges that, after several payment reminders, Clevver has the right to remove telephone numbers from the Customer Account at the latest one (1) month after the first failed deduction attempt and that any ownership or usage rights to the numbers are forfeited without compensation. Clevver shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from such removal, regardless of whether the number was originally ordered through Clevver or ported in from another provider.

Violations entitle Clevver to immediately suspend or terminate the Service and to charge the Customer for any resulting damages, fines or carrier penalties.
Service availability: Clevver provides the ClevverNumber service on a best-effort basis. Service quality, call completion rates, latency and feature availability depend in part on third-party carriers and on the public switched telephone network. Clevver does not guarantee uninterrupted service, emergency call routing (where not technically supported), or the availability of any specific feature.

ClevverAccounting
Clevver offers preparatory accounting and bookkeeping services to Customers in Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, and other countries upon request. Clevver performs these services exclusively as preparatory bookkeeping based on the data and documents provided by the Customer. The final year-end process and tax advisory are conducted in partnership with licensed law and tax consultants.
Scope of Service and Data Responsibility
The Customer acknowledges that Clevver’s preparatory bookkeeping relies entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the data provided by the Customer. Clevver shall not be liable for any wrong bookings, incorrect outputs, or late filings that result from incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed data provided by the Customer. Clevver expressly disclaims liability for errors arising from data that does not reflect the true financial status of the Entity if such data was not provided by the Customer in a timely manner.
Procedures and Timelines (Germany)
For services provided in Germany, Clevver utilizes the DATEV system. The Customer must adhere to the following data delivery timelines:
- OSS (One-Stop Shop) filings: The Customer is required to provide all data and documents required for the OSS filing within 10 days after the end of the respective quarter.
- VAT filings: The Customer is required to provide all data and documents required for the VAT filing within 20 days after the end of the respective VAT period (whether monthly, quarterly or otherwise as applicable for the Entity).
No liability for late or incomplete data delivery. Clevver assumes no liability for any wrong or missed bookings, late or rejected filings, fines, surcharges, interest, penalties or any other direct or indirect damages resulting from the Customer's failure to provide the data and documents within the timelines set out above. In particular, the Customer shall have no claim whatsoever against Clevver if the data required for OSS filings has not been delivered within 10 days after quarter-end or if the data required for a VAT filing has not been delivered within 20 days after the end of the VAT period. The Customer remains in any event responsible for the timely fulfilment of all tax filing and payment obligations of the Entity.
Procedures and Workflows (United States)
For services provided to Entities in the United States, Clevver utilizes the Xero accounting platform. The standard service offer is strictly based on the automated workflows facilitated by Xero. Consequently, the Customer is required to:
- Connect all US bank accounts directly to the Xero bank feed function;
- Upload all receipts and expense documentation directly into the relevant Xero function; and
- Generate all sales invoices directly within Xero.
If the Customer fails to maintain these connections or upload data directly to Xero as required, Clevver cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the bookkeeping and reserves the right to adjust service fees or decline liability for resulting errors.
Scope of Service – preparatory bookkeeping only. Clevver provides preparatory bookkeeping (vorbereitende Buchführung) on the basis of the data and documents supplied by the Customer. Within Germany, the German Tax Consultancy Act (Steuerberatungsgesetz – StBerG) reserves binding tax advice and certain tax-related acts (including the preparation and signing of annual financial statements, corporate income tax returns and trade tax returns) exclusively for certified tax consultants (Steuerberater). No statement, calculation, recommendation, document, AI-generated output or other deliverable provided by Clevver constitutes legal or binding tax advice. Where the Customer requires such advice, the Customer must obtain it from a qualified professional under a separate engagement.
Year-end and annual filings via partner tax consultant. The annual closing (Jahresabschluss), the corporate income tax return, the trade tax return, the annual VAT return and any other acts reserved under the StBerG are performed by an independent certified tax consultant (Steuerberater) on the basis of a separate mandate concluded directly between the Customer and the tax consultant. Clevver is not a party to that mandate, does not provide such services itself and assumes no liability whatsoever for the work product of the tax consultant. Clevver may, with the Customer's consent, hand over the prepared accounting data to the tax consultant and receive opening balances back, but this exchange does not extend Clevver's scope of service.
Payroll services excluded. Payroll accounting (Lohn- und Gehaltsabrechnung, Personalabrechnung), the registration of employees with social-security funds, the calculation of payroll taxes and the related electronic transmissions are not part of the standard ClevverAccounting service. Such services may be obtained from the partner tax consultant under a separate mandate.
Audit and inspection support. Support in connection with audits and inspections of any kind (including, but not limited to, Außenprüfung, Umsatzsteuer-Sonderprüfung, Lohnsteuer-Außenprüfung, Sozialversicherungsprüfung) – including the preparation of GoBD/GDPdU exports, the compilation and clarification of records, the explanation of individual transactions and any communication with auditors – is not part of the standard package. Such support is invoiced separately on a time-and-materials basis at the hourly rates set out below (see "Hourly rates and time billing") and, where required, at the rates of the partner tax consultant.
Authority communication beyond standard scope. The standard service includes only the routine electronic transmission of preliminary VAT returns and OSS returns. Any representation of the Customer vis-à-vis tax authorities, social-security agencies, customs or other authorities, and any communication with such authorities on behalf of the Customer beyond the routine electronic transmission of preliminary VAT/OSS returns (including, but not limited to, written correspondence, telephone clarifications, objections against tax assessments, deferral or instalment requests, audit response letters and replies to information requests) requires the conclusion of a separate written mandate agreement (Mandatsvertrag) between the Customer and Clevver. Until and unless such a separate mandate agreement has been signed, Clevver is neither obliged nor entitled to act on behalf of the Customer towards any authority. Activities performed under such a separate mandate agreement are invoiced on a time-and-materials basis at the hourly rates set out below.
Transparency Register (Transparenzregister) – Customer's responsibility. The initial and continuous registration of beneficial owners (wirtschaftlich Berechtigte) in the Transparenzregister, as well as the obligation to keep that data up to date, lies with the Customer (or the Entity). Clevver is not obliged to monitor or update the Transparenzregister entries on behalf of the Customer. Upon separate written mandate and against an additional fee, Clevver or the partner tax consultant may support the Customer in fulfilling these duties.
Hourly rates and time billing. Where any service is invoiced on a time-and-materials basis under these General Terms and Conditions or under a separate mandate agreement, the following hourly rates apply, billed per started 15-minute increment, plus statutory VAT:
- Clerk / Sachbearbeiter: EUR 20.00 per 15 min (EUR 80.00 per hour)
- Senior Consultant / Senior Berater: EUR 30.00 per 15 min (EUR 120.00 per hour)
- Dipl. Kfm. Director: EUR 50.00 per 15 min (EUR 200.00 per hour)
Clevver may adjust these rates from time to time with reasonable advance notice. The rates set out in a signed separate mandate agreement prevail over the rates listed here for the activities covered by that mandate.
Customer's record-keeping duties (GoBD/AO). The Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable record-keeping, retention, archival and procedural-documentation duties under German tax law (in particular §§ 140 et seq. and § 147 AO and the Principles for the Proper Keeping and Retention of Books, Records and Documents in Electronic Form and for Data Access – GoBD). This includes, without limitation: the proper issuance and receipt of compliant invoices; the orderly, complete, correct, timely and traceable recording of business transactions; the retention of original records (including incoming invoices and contracts) for the statutory retention periods; the existence and maintenance of a written procedural documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation) for the Customer's own document workflow; and the protection of the records against modification or loss. Clevver does not act as the Customer's archive and is not obliged to retain originals on the Customer's behalf. The bookkeeping output produced by Clevver is based on the data and documents provided by the Customer; Clevver assumes no liability for breaches of the Customer's record-keeping duties or for any consequences thereof (including, without limitation, disallowed expenses, denied input VAT deductions, fines or back-tax assessments).
Document submission rules. To enable correct, timely and audit-proof bookkeeping, the Customer shall comply with the following document handover rules:
- Documents must be organized in monthly folders (e.g. "January 2025", "February 2025") and provided via the channel agreed with Clevver (cloud folder, email upload, etc.).
- Documents for a given month must be delivered no later than the 20th of the following month, without prejudice to the OSS (10 days after quarter-end) and VAT (20 days after the end of the VAT period) deadlines set out above for the respective filings.
- Once a folder for a specific period has been submitted to Clevver, the Customer shall not add further files to that folder. Late or subsequently discovered documents must be placed in a separate folder clearly marked "Late Documents" or transmitted in a separate communication with a clear note.
- The Customer shall not transmit the same document via multiple channels (e.g. email and cloud folder) to avoid double-bookings.
Failure to comply with these rules entitles Clevver to refuse re-opening or re-processing of already closed periods, to charge any resulting additional work on a time-and-materials basis, and to decline liability for resulting errors, omissions or late filings.
Default treatment – Soll-Versteuerung. Clevver applies accrual-based VAT taxation (Soll-Versteuerung) as the default method for all German Customers. A switch to cash-based VAT taxation (Ist-Versteuerung) requires the Customer's explicit written request, is subject to the statutory eligibility thresholds, and may result in additional reconciliation effort which Clevver is entitled to invoice separately.
Default treatment – Dauerfristverlängerung. Unless the Customer expressly opts out in writing, Clevver applies for the permanent VAT filing extension (Dauerfristverlängerung) on the Customer's behalf. The Customer acknowledges that the application of the Dauerfristverlängerung typically requires the deposit of a special advance payment (Sondervorauszahlung) with the tax authorities, which is the Customer's obligation.
Legislative changes; no obligation to monitor. Tax, social-security, customs and other regulatory rules may change. Clevver is under no obligation to monitor, assess or notify the Customer of legislative or regulatory changes affecting the Customer's specific situation. Advisory services regarding the impact of such changes are provided exclusively by the partner tax consultant under a separate mandate. Clevver assumes no liability for damages, fines, surcharges or other adverse consequences arising from legislative or regulatory changes that affect the Customer's filings or business operations.
Payment Prerequisite
The execution of filings is strictly conditional upon the Customer maintaining a valid, running subscription. Clevver is under no obligation to process bookings or perform filings if the Customer’s subscription is inactive or if there are outstanding payments regarding the service fees.
