Legal Notice (Impressum) and Terms of Use

Last updated: November 10, 2026. This page contains the legal notice (Impressum) of Excel Corner (excelcorner.com) and the terms that apply when you use the Website and download the Templates.

1. Legal notice (Impressum)

Information in accordance with section 5 of the German Digital Services Act (DDG):

Consumer dispute resolution. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act, VSBG).

In these terms, “Excel Corner”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the provider above. “You” means anyone who visits the Website or downloads a template.

2. Purpose and acceptance

The Website offers free Excel templates (“Templates”) with descriptions, previews and guides, organized by category. By browsing the Website or downloading a Template you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

You must be able to form a binding agreement where you live. If you use the Templates on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for it.

3. Using the Website

Access to the Website and the download of Templates are free and do not require registration. You agree to use the Website lawfully, in good faith and in line with these Terms. In particular, you must not:

• use the Website or the Templates for anything illegal, fraudulent or that infringes the rights of others;
• try to disrupt the Website, probe or bypass its security, or overload it with automated requests, scraping or bulk downloading;
• copy, mirror or republish the Website’s content or its structure, or build a competing database from it;
• introduce viruses, macros, malware or any harmful code, or upload anything to the Website;
• pretend to be us, or suggest that we endorse you or your products.

We may block access to anyone who breaks these rules.

4. License to use the Templates

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a free, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to download, open, adapt and use the Templates:

• for your personal use; and
• for the internal use of your business or organization, including your own bookkeeping, planning and reporting, and for the work you do for your own clients, as long as you do not give them the Template file itself as a product or sell it to them.

You may modify a Template to suit your needs, print it, and share the files you create with it, such as a payroll register or a budget with your own data. The sample data in each Template is illustrative and can be replaced.

You are not allowed to:

• sell, resell, license, rent, lend or otherwise transfer a Template, or a modified version of it, for a fee or as part of a paid product, bundle, course or subscription;
• upload, host, mirror or redistribute the Template files on any other website, marketplace, repository, file-sharing service or app store, or send them in bulk, even for free;
• remove or alter any notice of ownership that appears in the files or in the previews;
• use the Templates to build or train a competing template library or database;
• use Excel Corner’s name, logo or preview images to promote your own products without our written permission.

The license ends automatically if you break these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. If you want to share or distribute our Templates in a way that is not allowed here, ask us first at [email protected].

5. Linking to the Website

You are welcome to link to the pages of the Website, for example to recommend a Template in an article or a forum. Please link to the page, not directly to the files. Do not link directly to the .xlsx files, embed our pages in a frame or hotlink our images, and do not present our content as yours. We may ask you to remove links that are misleading, illegal or harmful.

6. Intellectual property and trademarks

The Website and everything on it, including the Templates, formulas, layouts, texts, guides, preview images, design, source code and logo, belong to Sergio Jiménez Canales or are used with permission, and are protected by German, European and international copyright law and by unfair competition law. The name “Excel Corner” and the logo may be protected as business designations. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any of them to you.

Microsoft, Excel, Windows and Office are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Google and Google Sheets are trademarks of Google LLC. We use those names only to say what our files work with. Excel Corner is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft, Google, the Internal Revenue Service or any other company or agency mentioned on the Website, and any other names are the property of their owners.

7. Not professional advice

The Website and the Templates cover personal finance, investing, taxes, payroll, accounting, human resources, project management and similar topics. They are tools and general information, not advice.

• Nothing on the Website is financial, investment, tax, accounting, legal, employment or other professional advice, and nothing creates an advisory, fiduciary or professional relationship between you and us.
• Templates that relate to forms or rules, such as 1099, W-2, Schedule C, state apportionment, payroll, overtime, paid time off or leave, organize and calculate figures for planning and tracking. They do not file, submit or replace any official form. Rates, thresholds, deadlines and rules change and differ by country, state and employer.
• The data in each Template is sample data. Results depend on what you enter, and you are responsible for entering correct information, setting your own rates and checking every result against your records and the official instructions before you rely on it.
• Investment and portfolio Templates show calculations on the numbers you enter. They do not recommend any investment, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
• Before you make financial, tax, payroll, hiring or legal decisions, speak to a qualified professional who knows your situation.

8. The Templates are provided free of charge and “as is”

We test the Templates in Excel before publishing them, which includes opening the files, recalculating the formulas, checking the charts and fixing the errors we find. Even so, spreadsheets can contain mistakes, and Excel versions, regional settings and add-ins can change how a file behaves. The Website and the Templates are offered free of charge and, to the extent permitted by law and subject to section 9, “as is” and “as available”, without warranty that they are error-free, complete, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose.

• The Templates are designed for Microsoft Excel and use standard formulas without macros. We do not guarantee compatibility with every version of Excel, with Excel on other devices, or with Google Sheets, LibreOffice and other programs, where formatting, charts or formulas may differ.
• Keep backups of your own files. You are responsible for the data you store in them, and for protecting files that contain personal or confidential information.
• If you find an error, please tell us and we will do our best to correct it, but we are not obliged to.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation:

• for intent and gross negligence;
• for injury to life, body or health;
• for defects we have fraudulently concealed and for guarantees we have expressly given;
• under the German Product Liability Act and in any other case where the law makes liability mandatory.

For slight negligence we are only liable for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible and on which you can regularly rely. In that case our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage that is typical for this kind of relationship. Otherwise our liability for slight negligence is excluded. Where the law treats the free provision of a Template as a gift, we are only liable for intent and gross negligence.

Subject to the rules above and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses that come from relying on the Templates or the information on the Website, from errors in the data you enter, from penalties, interest or assessments that arise from your taxes, payroll or filings, from lost profits, savings, data or business, or from technical problems, viruses or interruptions of the Website. These limits also apply to our legal representatives and assistants. Nothing in these Terms limits the mandatory rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.

10. If you use the Templates for a business

If you use the Website or the Templates for your business and you break the license in section 4, you are responsible for the claims and reasonable costs that third parties make against us because of it. This clause does not apply to consumers.

11. Messages, requests and suggestions you send us

When you use the contact form or email us you agree to send accurate information and not to send anything unlawful, abusive, infringing or confidential. Do not send us passwords, financial account numbers, government identification numbers or other sensitive information.

If you suggest a template, a feature or an improvement, you agree that we may use it, adapt it and publish it without any payment, credit or obligation to you, and that it is not confidential. We handle your personal data as explained in our Privacy Policy.

12. Third-party content, links and services

The Website may link to third-party websites, and it uses services provided by others, such as content delivery and security. We do not control them and we are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. When we linked to them we saw no illegal content, and if you tell us about an infringement we will remove the link promptly. A link is not an endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their own terms.

13. Copyright complaints

We respect the rights of others. If you believe that content on the Website infringes your copyright, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject “Copyright notice” that includes: your name and contact details; a description of the work you say has been infringed; the address (URL) of the content on the Website; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized; a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.

We will review the notice and may remove or disable access to the content and tell the person who provided it, who can send us a counter-notice. We may end the access of people who repeatedly infringe the rights of others. A false notice can have legal consequences.

14. Changes, availability and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Website, add or remove Templates, or change these Terms at any time. When we change the Terms, the date at the top will show it, and the new version applies from the moment it is published. If you keep using the Website after a change, you accept the new Terms. Templates you have already downloaded remain under the license in section 4 that applied when you downloaded them, unless you break these Terms. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available.

15. Privacy and cookies

How we process personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy, and the cookies and similar technologies we use are explained in our Cookie Policy.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute that comes from the Website or the Templates are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory consumer protection rights of the country where you live.

If you are a merchant, a legal entity or a public-law entity, the courts of Oldenburg (Germany) have exclusive jurisdiction, as far as the law allows. If you are a consumer, the courts that the law gives you jurisdiction over remain competent. Before going to court we encourage you to write to us at [email protected] so that we can try to solve the problem.

17. General

• Severability. If a part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and the invalid part is replaced by a valid one that is as close as possible to its purpose.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, we are not giving it up.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Website.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a successor of the business.
• Language. The English version is the one that applies. A translation is only for convenience.
• Notices. We may give you notices by posting them on the Website or by email when you have contacted us. You can write to us at the address in section 1 or at [email protected].
