Terms and Conditions

1. Scope and general provisions

These General Terms and Conditions (Terms) of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH, Bahnhofstrasse 21, 6300 Zug, apply to all online services of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH offered via www.transparenzregister.ch and the web app app.transparenzregister.ch (together the “Portal”).

Via the Portal, Buchhaltungsabo GmbH provides services relating to the analysis of reporting obligations under the Transparency Act (TJPG), the identification of beneficial owners, the preparation of register filings and – within the Management tool – the submission of filings on the basis of a power of attorney granted by the customer.

A customer is any natural or legal person who, as a business customer, acquires services from Buchhaltungsabo GmbH via the Portal.

These Terms apply exclusively. Conflicting, supplementary or deviating terms are valid only if expressly confirmed in writing by Buchhaltungsabo GmbH.

By using the services of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH and the Portal, or upon conclusion of the contract, the customer confirms that they accept these Terms in full.

For better readability, these Terms use the masculine form for designations of persons and certain nouns in the German original. Such terms apply to all genders in the interest of equal treatment. The shortened form is used for editorial reasons only and implies no judgement.

2. Information provided by Buchhaltungsabo GmbH

Brochures and advertising material of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH as well as the Portal and posts on social media contain general information about the online services offered by Buchhaltungsabo GmbH. Changes to prices and services as well as technical adjustments are reserved. All information (service descriptions, images, videos and other information as well as prices) is non-binding and in particular constitutes no assurance of characteristics, no guarantee of a certain number of views, enquiries or increases in turnover and no other guarantee, unless expressly stated otherwise. Buchhaltungsabo GmbH endeavours to provide all information correctly, completely, up to date and clearly, but cannot warrant this either expressly or tacitly.

Buchhaltungsabo GmbH cannot guarantee that the services offered can be provided at all times and without interruption. All information on availability and scope of services is provided without warranty and may change at any time and without notice before the contract is concluded.

3. Prices

Unless otherwise offered, all prices are gross prices in Swiss francs (CHF), including VAT. The price shown on the Portal at the time of the order applies.

4. Conclusion of contract

The offers of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH constitute an invitation to the customer to use its services. The offers are not binding on Buchhaltungsabo GmbH. Offers and information communicated by Buchhaltungsabo GmbH before the conclusion of the contract are subject to change and non-binding, subject to mandatory statutory provisions.

The contract is concluded exclusively via the Portal: for the detailed TJPG check and the “Identify beneficial owners” tool upon completion of payment; for the Management tool upon completion of the order in the web app. Use of the free Express Check does not give rise to any payment obligation.

5. Terms of payment

The customer may use the means of payment indicated during the ordering process. Payments are processed by an external payment service provider.

By choosing an online means of payment, the customer authorises Buchhaltungsabo GmbH to collect the payment by the corresponding method. For the Management tool, this also applies to the amounts of each renewal period.

6. Services and obligations of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH

Unless otherwise agreed, Buchhaltungsabo GmbH fulfils its obligations by providing, reviewing and forwarding the agreed information. Where the customer uses the Management tool and grants a power of attorney, section 9 applies to the submission to the transparency register.

The results of the check tools do not constitute a binding assessment. The final legal assessment remains reserved to the competent authorities. The customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the data they enter.

The information, check tools, analyses and notes provided on the Portal do not constitute legal advice and do not replace individual advice from a qualified lawyer or another duly authorised professional.

All results serve solely as initial guidance. Buchhaltungsabo GmbH does not owe any outcome with regard to an entry, registration or official approval.

7. One-off online services

The detailed TJPG check and the “Identify beneficial owners” tool are one-off digital services.

The result is displayed upon completion and sent to the e-mail address provided by the customer. For security reasons, the result cannot be retrieved again on the Portal. Buchhaltungsabo GmbH keeps a copy of the result (see privacy policy).

The service is deemed rendered once the result has been provided. Refunds are excluded to the extent permitted by law. In the event of technical problems, the customer contacts info@transparenzregister.ch, stating the receipt number.

8. Management tool subscription

8.1 The Management tool is offered as a subscription per company. The prices shown in the web app at the time the contract is concluded, including VAT, apply; the price per company depends on the number of companies in the customer’s account.

8.2 The term is one year from conclusion of the contract. The subscription renews automatically for a further year each time unless it is cancelled before the end of the current period.

8.3 The customer may cancel at any time themselves in the web app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current annual period. Amounts already paid or invoiced are not refunded, either in full or in part.

8.4 Buchhaltungsabo GmbH notifies the customer by e-mail in good time before the automatic renewal.

8.5 Buchhaltungsabo GmbH may adjust prices for future renewal periods. Price changes are communicated to the customer before the start of the new period; in this case the customer may cancel with effect from the end of the current period.

9. Power of attorney and submission

9.1 At the customer’s request, Buchhaltungsabo GmbH submits the filing to the transparency register via the electronic platform of the Confederation on the basis of a power of attorney granted by the customer or its authorised signatories.

9.2 The customer expressly authorises Buchhaltungsabo GmbH to check the information entered in the Portal for obvious omissions, to correct it after consultation and to submit it after approval by the customer.

9.3 The statutory reporting obligation and responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information remain with the customer or its responsible bodies. Buchhaltungsabo GmbH submits the information entered and approved by the customer.

9.4 Buchhaltungsabo GmbH is not liable for delays or failures attributable to the Confederation’s platform, the authorities, or missing or late information, powers of attorney or authentications of the customer.

10. Consultation

Personal consultation appointments are provided at the price stated at the time of booking. Cancellation is free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. The consultation provides practical support regarding the reporting obligation and the reporting procedure and does not constitute legal advice from a lawyer.

11. Warranty

www.transparenzregister.ch is a private information service with paid online services; it is not the official register of the Confederation. Legislation, ordinances, administrative practice and case law in the area of transparency obligations may change at any time. Buchhaltungsabo GmbH does not warrant that all content, analyses and notes provided on the Portal are at all times complete, correct, up to date or suitable for the specific case. Any warranty is excluded in full to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory statutory rights of the customer remain reserved, in particular under the provisions on liability in tort (Art. 41 et seq. CO).

12. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Buchhaltungsabo GmbH excludes all liability, regardless of its legal basis, as well as claims for damages against Buchhaltungsabo GmbH and any auxiliary persons and agents. In particular, Buchhaltungsabo GmbH is not liable for indirect and consequential damage, lost profit, data loss, business interruption, unauthorised third-party access to systems or data, or other personal injury, property damage or pure financial loss of the customer or third parties in connection with the operation or use of the Portal, in each case only to the extent permitted by law. Liability for slight negligence is expressly excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Further mandatory statutory liability under Swiss law remains reserved, in particular for damage caused by gross negligence or unlawful intent on the part of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH.

13. Amendments

These General Terms and Conditions may be amended by Buchhaltungsabo GmbH at any time and apply to all contracts concluded from the respective date of publication. For current Management tool subscriptions, amended Terms apply from the next renewal period unless the customer cancels beforehand; Buchhaltungsabo GmbH informs the customer of this in good time.

14. Confidentiality

Buchhaltungsabo GmbH and its auxiliary persons undertake to treat as confidential all information submitted to or obtained by them in connection with the services of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH within the Portal that is not publicly known. This obligation continues after the service has been rendered.

15. Other provisions

Should individual provisions of these Terms be wholly or partly void and/or ineffective, the validity and/or effectiveness of the remaining provisions or parts thereof shall not be affected. The invalid and/or ineffective provisions shall be replaced by legally valid provisions that come economically closest to the meaning and purpose of the invalid and/or ineffective provisions. The same applies to any gaps in these Terms.

In the event of disputes, Swiss substantive law shall apply exclusively, to the exclusion of conflict-of-laws provisions.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms and the contracts based thereon is the registered office of Buchhaltungsabo GmbH in Zug, unless the law provides for mandatory places of jurisdiction.

These Terms are translated into various languages. Only the German version is legally binding.
