Internal note (delete before publishing): This single page is structured to satisfy both the UK requirements (Companies Act 2006; Company, LLP and Business Names Regulations 2015; E-Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002) and the German Impressum requirements (§ 5 DDG, § 18 Abs. 2 MStV) for a shop directed at the German market. Fill in all [BRACKETED] placeholders. If you launch a German-language storefront, publish this page there under the label "Impressum" — German courts expect that exact word in the footer.
