FOR EXPATS IN GERMANY
Never miss a German cancellation deadline again.
Upload your gym, mobile, or DSL contract. We translate it to English, tell you exactly when you need to cancel, and flag the auto-renewal traps most people only find out about after it's too late.
THE PROBLEM
German contracts are written to be missed.
A German gym, mobile, or internet contract is legally allowed to auto-renew for another full term if you don't cancel by a specific date, sometimes three months before the contract ends, in a clause you'd need to actually read the fine print to find. If you don't read German, or you just didn't know to look, you find out when the next payment goes through.
This first version covers these three contract types in German only. Anything else comes back as unsupported rather than a guess.
TRE PASSI
Upload it once. We watch the date.
01 /
Upload your contract.
A PDF or a clear photo of the pages. It's stored the same way as everything else in your vault: encrypted.
02 /
We translate and extract the key dates.
Within a few minutes, you get a plain-English summary: the notice period (Kündigungsfrist), the exact cancel-by date, the renewal terms, and the price, plus any auto-renewal traps flagged in plain language.
03 /
One alert before the deadline.
Notenz emails you ahead of your cancel-by date, with enough runway to actually act, instead of finding out when the next payment already went through.
WHAT THIS IS, AND WHAT IT ISN'T
A translation and a reminder. Not a lawyer.
Contract Guardian is informational, not legal advice. It reads the contract you give it and tells you, in plain English, what it says and when you need to act. If a contract is unusual, disputed, or has real money on the line, talk to a lawyer or a consumer-protection body (Verbraucherzentrale). What Contract Guardian is good at is the ninety percent case: a normal gym, mobile, or DSL contract with a notice period buried in German legal language that nobody has time to read closely.
PRIVACY
The same encrypted vault. Your file isn't kept anywhere else.
Your contract file lives in your encrypted Notenz vault, the same way any other document does. To produce the translation and extracted dates, the file is sent once to a zero-retention AI model. It is not stored there, and only the structured result, dates, terms, a short summary, comes back and is saved to your account. Nobody at Notenz reads your contract to produce this.
WHY THIS LIVES INSIDE NOTENZ
Everything you'd need someone else to know, in one vault.
Notenz started as a way to make sure your passwords, accounts, and instructions reach the right person if something happens to you. Contract Guardian is the same encrypted vault, working for you day to day instead of waiting for an emergency: one place for the contracts you signed in a language you don't fully read, and the dates that actually matter.
