If the claim for damages arises from a uniform act or a uniform event causing damage against several members and this is not based on an intentional tortious act, the liability for damages shall be limited to CHF 500,000.00, notwithstanding the above. If the claims of several members exceed this maximum limit, the claim of the individual member shall be reduced in proportion to the sum of all claims for damages to the maximum amount. The above limitation of liability does not apply to claims for compensation of the damage caused by the delay in payment of damages. The liability limit includes all extrajudicial and judicial costs.

The operator is not liable for personal injury or damage to property. In the case of grossly negligent or intentional causation of such damages by the operator or a legal representative or a vicarious agent (consultant, supervisor, etc.), the operator is liable within the framework of the existing insurance contracts.

In the case of simply negligent breaches of contract, the operator is only liable if it is an essential obligation for the execution of the contract.

Any asserted claims are to be asserted immediately against the operator.

Further claims for damages are excluded.

9 Liability of the member

The member is liable for all self-inflicted damage to rooms, equipment and items borrowed or provided by the operator to the full amount of the replacement value. This also applies in the event of loss, damage by third parties or theft of an item lent or given to the member by the operator. The member is also liable for all consequential damages caused by failure or impairment of the operation or an object of the operator.

10 Internet access

The member undertakes not to misuse the Internet access. The operator does not guarantee a certain quality of the Internet connection.

The member has to respect all national and international copyrights. In case of violation of copyrights, the member is solely liable. As far as the operator is used for this, the member commits himself to release the operator from these demands immediately on first request. It does not depend on a justification of the claims asserted against the operator according to the reason and the amount. The member can only assert these objections against the claimant.

It is the member's sole responsibility to take precautions against all types of data loss, transmission errors, operational disruptions, etc. to take precautions. It is also the member's responsibility to take appropriate security and safety measures.

The operator grants the member access to the Internet and establishes the connection. The contents accessible via the Internet are not offered by the operator, but by third parties. The operator assumes no responsibility and liability for the legality and quality of the contents and services offered by third parties and retrievable by the member as well as their use by the member. The operator is not liable for the use or download of damaged or damage-causing files. Any user fees incurred are to be paid by the member. The member is not authorized to obligate the operator in the external relationship.

The operator points out to the customer that in the Internet abuse by other users is possible and files can be used to endanger the computer system of the member as well as the security of his data. The operator therefore assumes no liability for damages arising from the use of the Internet. The liability for intentional or grossly negligent damages is excluded from this. The services of the operator do not release the member from his obligation to comply with the usual and recognised security standards, such as the use of regularly updated anti-virus and warning programs, plausibility checks for incoming data, regular data backup and password changes as well as normal access control.

13 Data protection

The operator observes the provisions of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG).

The member agrees that his personal data may be stored on data carriers. The member also consents to the transmission of his data to credit agencies for the purpose of credit assessment. The operator may forward the data to third parties, the services for the operator, which are necessary for operation.

The member can demand the deletion of his data after termination of the membership, as far as the operator has no justified interest in the data. A justified interest exists in particular if the operator is still entitled to claims against the member.

14 Accounting and payment

The operator is free to demand advances for booked services. Invoices are usually issued monthly and can be retrieved at any time via the administration system. The invoice is due immediately upon creation and is either automatically collected by credit card or is to be paid upon receipt by bank transfer. In the event of failure to debit by credit card, the member undertakes to inform the operator immediately and to transfer the amount himself to the account specified in the invoice. A processing fee of CHF 5.00 net will be charged to the member for the next billing period.

At the end of five working days, the member is in default and owes the statutory default interest as well as cost-covering dunning charges and, if applicable, collection costs, including court and attorney fees. The operator reserves the right to assign open invoice amounts, including accrued interest on arrears, expenses and costs, to a company commissioned with the collection. In this case, an annual interest rate of up to 15 percent from the due date can be charged on the outstanding amounts. The company commissioned with the collection will assert the outstanding amounts in its own name and on its own account and may charge additional processing fees. The receipt of payment by the operator is decisive.

15 Photos, Livestreams, Events, Media Presence, Press

The member agrees that the operator may take photographs and make video recordings on the operator's premises. The operator is expressly authorized to use the recordings for any business promoting purpose. The member expressly consents to publication on the Internet and all other media.

After the end of the week, the operator is entitled to send the received mail to the address given by the member in the registration. For forwarding, a forwarding fee of CHF 10.00 net plus postage is agreed for each mail item sent.

As an alternative to forwarding, the member can also rent a locker from the operator. The operator is authorised to open the member's locker and deposit the incoming mail there. The operator's responsibility for the member's incoming mail ends when the incoming mail is sent or deposited in the locker.

If the mail received from the member does not fit into the locker, the operator will send the mail items at the end of the storage period at the above fees.

Post of the member, which reaches the operator after expiration of the period of use of the post receiving service or after termination of the membership, can be forwarded by the operator to the last known address of the member under the above conditions. There is no obligation to do so. If the mail cannot be delivered at this address, the mail will become the property of the operator without compensation. Likewise, the ownership is transferred to the operator without compensation if the operator has informed the member at the specified e-mail address about an incoming mail, has stored the mail for two months, without the member has picked up his mail.

If the Member has not reached an agreement with the Operator regarding the receipt of mail and the Member nevertheless receives items addressed to the Member, the Operator shall be entitled to charge the Member a fee of CHF 3.00 net per item received.
