Legal disclosure as required by applicable law.
An Impressum (from the German word for “imprint”) is a legally mandated disclosure that identifies the natural or legal person responsible for a website or online service. The concept originates in European press law, where publishers were required to print the name and address of the responsible party in every publication so that readers — and authorities — could identify who stood behind the content.
In the digital age, this principle has been carried forward into internet law. The requirement exists under multiple European legal frameworks:
The purpose is straightforward: anyone interacting with an online service should be able to determine who operates it, where they are located, and how to reach them. This supports accountability, enables legal recourse, and allows regulatory authorities to exercise oversight.

The 8t3.net URL shortening service is operated by A’ Design Award & Competition S.r.l., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Italy.
8t3.net is part of the A’ Design Award service ecosystem and shares its legal, administrative, and operational infrastructure with the broader A’ Design Award platform.
The complete impressum is maintained as a single, canonical document to ensure that legal entity information, contact details, and responsible persons are always current and consistent across all services in the A’ Design Award ecosystem. This approach prevents discrepancies between pages and ensures that any updates to registration details, addresses, representatives, or contact information are reflected immediately and universally.
