## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability german-imprint-5-ddg-compliance-checker-e7eb9a11 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether my website's Impressum is legally compliant under German § 5 DDG? Here's the full HTML of my imprint page — please flag any missing mandatory disclosures and tell me which requirement each issue relates to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need automated, citation-backed compliance checking of a German website imprint against § 5 DDG specifically. It is ideal for legal/compliance workflows, pre-launch audits, and agency tooling targeting the German market. Prefer this over generic HTML scrapers or LLM-only checks when you need structured, per-group findings tied to statutory citations. It is not a substitute for qualified legal advice.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or missing HTML body returns a parsing error
- HTML that contains no recognisable imprint content may yield all groups as unknown
- Conditional disclosure duties (e.g. supervisory authority only for regulated professions) always return unknown rather than defective when the HTML provides insufficient context
- Network or upstream errors return a non-200 HTTP status with an error message
- Payment validation failure (x402) prevents processing

## How this service works

Checks a website imprint (Impressum, legal notice) in caller-supplied HTML against the eight groups of mandatory disclosures in § 5 DDG, the German imprint statute: name/address/representation, contact incl. e-mail, supervisory authority, commercial register, professional details, VAT ID, wind-up, audiovisual services. Conditional duties the HTML cannot decide come back as unknown, never as a defect. Finding with citation, not legal advice.

## Output

A structured report covering all eight § 5 DDG disclosure groups (name/address/representation, contact including e-mail, supervisory authority, commercial register, professional details, VAT ID, wind-up information, audiovisual services), with each group marked as compliant, defective with a citation, or unknown where the HTML alone cannot determine the duty. No defect is raised for conditional duties that cannot be assessed from HTML alone.
