General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
Advelyon by Claudio Frehner
1. Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all service contracts between Advelyon by Claudio Frehner (hereinafter "Contractor") and its customers (hereinafter "Client"). Deviating conditions of the Client are not recognized unless the Contractor expressly agrees to their validity in writing.
2. Contract Formation
A contract is formed when the Client accepts an offer from the Contractor in writing (by email or signature) or when the Contractor issues an order confirmation. Oral agreements require written confirmation for validity.
3. Scope of Services
The scope of services results from the respective offer or order confirmation. Changes or additions to the scope of services require written agreement and may lead to an adjustment of the agreed price. The Contractor is entitled to subcontract partial services to third parties.
4. Client's Cooperation Obligations
The Client is obliged to support the Contractor in fulfilling its services. In particular, it provides all necessary information, documents, and access data in a timely manner. Delays due to insufficient cooperation are at the expense of the Client.
5. Prices and Payment Terms
The prices specified in the offer in Swiss Francs (CHF) plus statutory value-added tax, if applicable, apply. Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date without deduction. In the event of late payment, the Contractor is entitled to charge default interest of 5% per year and to suspend the service until full payment.
6. Dates and Deadlines
Delivery dates are, unless expressly designated as binding, non-binding. Binding deadlines presuppose the timely cooperation of the Client. In cases of force majeure, illness, or other unforeseeable events, agreed deadlines are extended accordingly.
7. Intellectual Property and Usage Rights
All works created by the Contractor in the context of the order (concepts, texts, graphics, presentations, etc.) remain the property of the Contractor until full payment. After full payment, the Contractor transfers to the Client a simple, non-transferable usage right to the created works for the agreed purpose. Further usage rights require a separate written agreement.
8. Confidentiality
Both parties undertake to keep all confidential information of the other party obtained in the course of the cooperation secret and not to disclose it to third parties. This obligation continues even after termination of the contractual relationship. The Contractor is entitled to name the cooperation with the Client as a reference, unless the Client expressly objects.
9. Liability
The Contractor is liable only for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence as well as for indirect damages, lost profits, and consequential damages is excluded, to the extent legally permissible. The total liability is limited to the amount of the agreed order value. The Client is responsible for ensuring that the contents created by the Contractor comply with applicable legal provisions.
10. Warranty
The Contractor will remedy identified defects attributable to its performance within a reasonable period. Defects must be reported in writing immediately, at the latest within 14 days after discovery. After acceptance of the service, it is deemed free of defects if no objection is raised.
11. Termination
Both parties may terminate ongoing projects with 30 days' notice in writing. In the event of termination, the services provided up to the termination date will be invoiced. In the case of termination for good cause (e.g., payment delay, breach of material contractual obligations), the contractual relationship may be terminated without notice.
12. Data Protection
The Contractor processes the Client's personal data exclusively for the purpose of contract fulfillment and in accordance with statutory provisions. Details on data processing are governed by the privacy policy on the website.
13. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
These GTC and all legal relationships arising therefrom are governed exclusively by Swiss law, excluding the UN Sales Law. Exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes is Zurich, to the extent legally permissible.
14. Severability Clause
Should individual provisions of these GTC be invalid or unenforceable, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid regulation that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
