The service is provided by the owner of Varta. Contact via the form on our Contact page or the Telegram bot @vartahelp_bot.

Payments are processed by Ko-fi. Varta never sees or stores your card details.

Country pages with available confirmed information, news, the date checker, the comparison, the 90/180 calculator and the quiz are free and stay free. The paid "Varta Personal" plan adds: monitoring of accessible official sources for your countries, alerts about confirmed rule changes, and reminders for dates you save.

Access is personal. Sharing it with third parties is not allowed.

Varta Personal costs €3.99 a month or €29.99 a year. You can create an account and save your dates without paying; reminders start after payment and turn on automatically once Ko-fi confirms it.

The monthly subscription renews each month on Ko-fi until you cancel it. The annual plan is a single yearly purchase: it does NOT renew automatically, and access simply stops when the year ends. You can pay for the next year early, 30 days before the current one ends: it starts after it.

If your free access started before this change, it runs until its end date unchanged and without any charge.

Within 14 days of payment you may withdraw and get your money back in full, without giving a reason: through the “Withdraw from contract here” page (see below) or simply by writing to us through the form. We do not ask why and we do not keep a share for the days already used.

After 14 days we do not refund the current paid period, but you can cancel the renewal at any time and you do not pay for the next period: a payment Ko-fi still takes after the cancellation is refunded.

If the service did not work as promised, write to us even after 14 days. We will sort it out separately.

You can cancel the subscription on the “Cancel subscription” page without signing in: the email you paid from is enough. The statement takes effect when you press “Confirm cancellation”; you see the confirmation with date and time on screen and get it by email. The contract ends at the end of the paid period: Varta does not extend access. Early cancellation for good cause is on the same page, with the reason.

Ko-fi takes the monthly payments, so cancel the monthly subscription there too: in your Ko-fi account (Account Settings → Subscriptions → Don’t Renew), through the Manage Subscription link in the Ko-fi email if you paid by card without an account, or in PayPal if you paid with it. If Ko-fi still takes a payment after your statement on the site, it does not extend access and we refund that payment. The annual plan needs no cancellation: it does not renew anyway.

Anyone who knows the address can send a statement without signing in. That is why the confirmation email has an “It wasn’t me” link: the subscription owner uses it to cancel a statement they did not send, and the subscription returns to its earlier state (the link works for 48 hours from the email for a withdrawal and 30 days for a cancellation). If a statement comes from another address but gives the subscription’s payment reference, the email with the details and this link goes to the address the subscription was paid from.

Within 14 days of payment you can withdraw from the contract without giving a reason. Use the “Withdraw from contract here” page: enter the email you paid from and, if you like, your name and payment reference, then press “Confirm withdrawal”. The deadline is met if the statement is sent before it ends. You immediately see an acknowledgement with the content, date and time of the statement on screen and receive it by email at the same address.

With the withdrawal the contract ends, and we refund the full amount by the same method you paid with (via Ko-fi), no later than 14 days after we receive the statement. Access to reminders stops 48 hours after the confirmation email, once the “It wasn’t me” link expires. You may also tell us with any other clear statement, for example through the contact form.

We regularly compare accessible information with official sources and show when it was last checked. A rule-change article is published after checking the authority’s current text. We are not a government authority or lawyers; the relevant authority makes the final decision.

Before any step your status depends on, check the primary source — every guide links to it.

What we store and how to delete it is on the privacy policy. You can delete your account and export your data in settings, or on request through the form.
