These Terms and Conditions (T&C) govern the business relationship between LegalForCode and its clients. They form an integral part of all contracts regarding our IT legal services. By engaging our services or concluding a contract, the client fully accepts these T&C.
A contract with LegalForCode is formed either through mutual signing of a written agreement or through our written confirmation of a client order. The exact scope of services, project objectives, timeframe, and fees are defined in individual contracts or order confirmations. Changes or additions require written form.
Our service offerings include in particular:
Our fees are stated in Swiss Francs (CHF) and include applicable value-added tax. For long-term consulting projects, we reserve the right to issue monthly interim invoices. Unless otherwise agreed, the following payment terms apply:
LegalForCode values client satisfaction and the following refund policy applies to our services:
This refund policy does not limit any statutory rights that consumers may have under applicable Swiss consumer protection law.
Agreed appointments for consultation sessions or meetings are binding. For cancellations or postponements by the client, the following rules apply:
In justified exceptional cases (such as serious illness with medical certificate), we strive for accommodating solutions. LegalForCode reserves the right to cancel or reschedule appointments for important reasons. In this case, the client will not incur any costs.
The success of our services depends significantly on the client's cooperation. The client therefore undertakes to:
LegalForCode commits to strictest confidentiality regarding all client information and data. This also applies after termination of the business relationship. We treat all information about our clients' business activities and legal situations with utmost discretion and do not disclose it to third parties without express consent. The collection and processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection regulations.
All documents, reports, analyses, legal templates, and other work products created by LegalForCode are protected by copyright. The client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use these materials for the contractually agreed purpose. Disclosure to third parties or commercial use beyond the agreed scope is not permitted without our express written consent. The use of standard templates and models remains unaffected by this.
LegalForCode is entitled to name the client as a reference unless the client expressly objects. The use of logos or detailed case descriptions for marketing purposes, however, always requires the client's express consent. At the client's request, specific confidentiality agreements can be made to regulate this point in more detail.
LegalForCode provides its services with the greatest care and to the best of its knowledge and belief. We guarantee the professional and timely execution of the agreed services, but do not assume any guarantee for a specific economic success. Our consulting services are based on the information provided to us and the current state of legislation. The client remains responsible for decisions made based on our advice. Our liability is limited to intent and gross negligence and is limited to the amount of the agreed fee. Liability for slight negligence, indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profits is excluded to the extent legally permissible.
Should individual provisions of these T&C be invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. In place of the invalid provision, a valid provision shall apply that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. Changes or additions to these T&C must be made in writing. Swiss law applies exclusively, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is Zurich, to the extent legally permissible.
