The Statistical Database STATcube of STATISTICS AUSTRIA is publicly available and may be used, in a restricted scope, free of charge ("Guest Access"). The Guest Access offers access to overview data; the data available is restricted with respect to structural depth and volume and the size of query tables is limited. 

For accessing the Pay for Use Services, which exceed the Guest Access services and offer, for example, retrieval of large volumes of data and access to data locked in the Guest Access, a user has to register with STATcube and purchase a subscription. Queries in STATcube may only be performed by using the STATcube-access-web-application offered on the website. Use of automatic retrieval systems is not allowed for retrieving data from STATcube.
Access to the Pay for Use Services requires registration of a user with STATcube and purchase of a subscription in the webshop (online-order). The types of subscription offered in the webshop provide the user with restricted rights to access the STATcube in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the webshop (e.g. term of and data volume included in the subscription). Submitting an online-order in the webshop by the user qualifies as a binding offer for conclusion of a purchase contract on the acquisition of products in the Shopping Cart. The contents of such offer are limited to the products offered and the conditions set forth in the webshop. The purchase contract becomes effective upon receipt by the user of STATISTICS AUSTRIA's e-mail confirming the order and submitting the information required to activate the subscription (Activation Code). Prior to purchasing a subscription the user must satisfy himself that (i) the web application of STATcube is compatible with the inquiry device (data processing equipment) used, (ii) the pertinent data, also with respect to the structural depth, is available in STATcube, and whether (iii) there are any indications in the comments to the pertinent data that data protection issues may restrict the accessible data. By purchasing a subscription the user confirms that he has examined the availability and accessibility of the pertinent data and waives his right to rescind the purchase agreement on account of mistake or frustration of contract. A subscription may only be activated for one user. A subscription can be activated by entering the information (activation code) submitted by e-mail in the login page. The term of the subscription starts with activation and ends automatically upon expiry. A subscription must be activated within 367 days following acquisition, or will otherwise become forfeited. The user will not be reimbursed for unused or unactivated subscriptions. If the user exceeds the data volume included in the subscription for the respective term, access to STATcube will be restricted to overview data (Guest Access) for the remaining term of the subscription. Data volumes not used within the term subscribed will be forfeited upon expiry of the term and will not be transferred to subsequent subscriptions. STATISTICS AUSTRIA notifies the user at login on the data volume used. If the user activates additional and, as regards subject matter, similar subscriptions during the term of an activated subscription, the term of the activated subscription will be extended until the expiry date of the additionally activated subscription that offers the longest term; and the data volumes included in the additionally activated subscriptions increase the unused data volume of the activated subscription. Subscriptions will be billed immediately upon purchase and must be paid by using one of the payment options offered in the webshop. Upon payment an email containing the information required for activation will be submitted to the registered email address of the user. Exclusion of Rescission of Contract:Â the right to rescind an activated subscription is excluded. Non-availability of specific data or temporary non-availability of STATcube (e.g. due to maintenance measures or malfunction) do not provide the user with the right to rescind the subscription. Due to restrictions imposed by data protection laws data may not be displayed even if available in the pertinent structural depth; also in this case user is not entitled to rescind the subscription.
