Legal information
IMPRESSUM
This page is a working English draft. It is not legal advice and it is not the final legal notice for this website. Several operator facts are still missing (legal form, street address, register and tax numbers, and other ECG § 5 items). Do not treat this text as a published Impressum until an Austrian lawyer has locked the facts and the wording. Until then, the statutory information duties are not fully met.
Last drafted: 26 August 2026.
ECG § 5
This website is an information-society service. Austrian law requires the service provider to keep the following information permanently easy and immediately accessible (E-Commerce-Gesetz. ECG. § 5; RIS Gesetzesnummer 20001703, BGBl. I Nr. 152/2001).
Name or company name
ECG § 5(1) Z 1
Sebastian Olesko
Legal form: [TO FILL. e.U. / GmbH / other, or “natural person, no registered firm”]
Trading name if different from the legal name: OLESKO / OLESKO Studio [TO FILL. confirm the exact registered or used name]
Geographic address of establishment
ECG § 5(1) Z 2
[TO FILL. street, number, postcode]
Vienna
Austria
The city of establishment is Vienna. The street address required by ECG § 5(1) Z 2 is not yet stated on this draft.
Contact details for rapid, direct contact
ECG § 5(1) Z 3
Email: sebastian@oleskostudio.com
Phone: [TO FILL. or “no telephone number published”]
Website: https://oleskostudio.com
The statute requires particulars that let users contact us rapidly and directly, including an electronic mail address. The studio mailbox above is that address.
Firmenbuch number and Firmenbuch court
ECG § 5(1) Z 4. only if one exists
Firmenbuch number (FN): [TO FILL. or “none; not entered in the Firmenbuch”]
Firmenbuchgericht (commercial court): [TO FILL. or “not applicable”]
This item is required only “sofern vorhanden” (where it exists). A lawyer must confirm whether an entry exists.
Supervisory authority for the trade
ECG § 5(1) Z 5. only if the activity is subject to official supervision
[TO FILL. name and address of the competent authority, or “the activity is not subject to a specific official supervision beyond ordinary trade law”]
This item applies “soweit die Tätigkeit einer behördlichen Aufsicht unterliegt”. Typical Austrian trades are supervised by the local Gewerbebehörde (in Vienna, usually the Magistrat). A lawyer must name the correct authority for this operator’s actual trade.
Chamber, professional title, and applicable professional rules
ECG § 5(1) Z 6. only if trade or professional rules apply
Chamber or similar body: [TO FILL. e.g. Wirtschaftskammer Wien, or “none”]
Professional title and Member State in which it was awarded: [TO FILL]
Applicable trade or professional rules, and how to access them: [TO FILL. e.g. Gewerbeordnung 1994, RIS Gesetzesnummer 10007517]
This item applies only if the provider is subject to trade or professional rules (gewerbe- oder berufsrechtliche Vorschriften).
VAT identification number (UID)
ECG § 5(1) Z 7. only if one exists
UID: [TO FILL. or “none issued / not required”]
This item is required only “sofern vorhanden”.
Prices
ECG § 5(2)
[TO FILL. either: “This site does not currently state prices for the commission offer.” or, if prices are shown, a clear statement whether they are gross (including VAT and other charges) or net, and whether any shipping is included.]
If prices are stated in an information-society service, they must be easy for a reasonably attentive reader to read and assign. It must be clear whether they include VAT and other charges, and whether shipping is included. Other information duties remain unaffected (ECG § 5(3)).
What this site offers
We make commissioned owner films from images the client supplies. A submission on /commission is a request, not an order. We do not send an automatic reply. A contract is formed only if we later agree terms with the person who wrote.
Media-law disclosure (Offenlegung)
MedienG § 1(1) Z 5a lit. b; § 25, in particular § 25(5); RIS Gesetzesnummer 10000719
A website is a “periodisches elektronisches Medium” under MedienG § 1(1) Z 5a lit. b. Section 25 therefore applies to websites. Section 24 (the printed-work / newsletter Impressum) is, on the official USP reading, not written for ordinary websites; the ECG § 5 block above is the website Impressum.
Whether this studio site is a “small” site under § 25(5) (presentation of the media owner / the personal sphere, with no further content capable of influencing public opinion) or a “large” site (full § 25(2)-(4) disclosure, including ownership and a statement of editorial direction) is not locked. Commissioned films shown as the studio’s own work can reasonably be read as product presentation. A lawyer must classify the site.
Until that classification is locked, we state only the minimum that § 25(5) itself requires for a small site:
Media owner (Medieninhaber): Sebastian Olesko
Object of the undertaking (Unternehmensgegenstand): [TO FILL. registered object if any.] Known activity: commissioned owner films from supplied images.
Place of residence or seat (Wohnort oder Sitz): Vienna, Austria. Street address: [TO FILL]
If a lawyer classifies the site as “large”, the fuller § 25(2)-(4) particulars (including ownership and a statement of basic direction) must be added. We do not invent those particulars here.
MedienG § 25(1) allows these particulars to be published together with the ECG § 5 information.
This draft is not legal advice. It is not final. Do not treat it as a published Impressum until a lawyer locks it.
