Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These Terms and Conditions (T&C) govern the business relationship between IndieLawHelp and clients who use our legal services, business law consulting, and entrepreneurial legal support. By engaging our services or requesting information through our website, the client accepts these T&C as binding. Any deviating agreements must be made in writing and explicitly confirmed by both parties.

2. Service Agreement

Service requests can be made through our online contact form, email, phone, or in writing. A legally binding service agreement is established only through our written confirmation or the actual commencement of legal services. For specialized legal services, the service relationship begins with the client's written acceptance of our detailed proposal. We reserve the right to decline requests without explanation or terminate scheduled consultations if the client's requirements make service delivery impossible. In such cases, any payments made will be refunded proportionally.

3. Scope of Services

The exact scope of our legal services and business law consulting is specified in the respective service description or individual service confirmation. Our service spectrum includes:

  • Business formation and corporate structure services
  • Contract drafting and legal documentation
  • Regulatory compliance and risk management
  • Intellectual property protection and strategy
  • Legal advisory and ongoing business support
  • Dispute resolution and litigation support

4. Prices and Payment Terms

All prices are listed in Swiss Francs (CHF) and include statutory VAT. Payment for services follows this schedule, unless otherwise agreed:

  • Business formation services: Payment upon service completion
  • Contract services: 50% deposit, 50% upon service delivery
  • Legal advisory programs: Monthly billing after service delivery

5. Cancellation and Appointment Changes

Cancellations and appointment changes must be communicated in writing or via email. The following cancellation policies apply:

  • More than 48 hours before consultation: Free cancellation
  • 24-48 hours before consultation: 50% of service fee
  • Less than 24 hours before consultation: 100% of service fee

One free appointment rescheduling is permitted if requested at least 24 hours in advance. For ongoing legal advisory contracts, a 30-day notice period applies for termination at quarter-end.

6. Refund Policy

At IndieLawHelp, we strive for the highest client satisfaction and maintain a comprehensive refund policy for our legal services:

  • Business Formation Services: If you're unsatisfied with our formation services, you can request a complete refund within 7 days of service completion, subject to review. We may offer to provide additional consultation before processing a refund.
  • Contract Services: For contract drafting services, you can cancel free of charge before active drafting begins. Once contract preparation has started, we offer partial refunds based on the completion stage and resources invested. If contract services are unsatisfactory after delivery, 50% of fees will be refunded.
  • Legal Advisory Programs: For prepaid legal advisory packages, we offer prorated refunds for unused consultations if you wish to terminate, minus a CHF 250 processing fee. Calculation is based on standard rates, not the discounted package price.
  • Consultation Services: Individual legal consultations can be canceled up to 48 hours in advance for a full refund. Bulk consultation packages follow the same prorated refund structure as advisory programs.

All refund requests must be submitted in writing with detailed reasoning. We process valid refund requests within 10 business days. Please note that certain third-party costs or specialized legal assessments may not be refundable. Refunds are processed to the original payment method used.

7. Liability and Warranty

We perform our services with the utmost care and according to professional legal standards. Our services are based on the information and business objectives provided by the client. We assume no liability for damages or disadvantages resulting from incomplete, incorrect, or delayed client information. We recommend thorough discussion of business goals before service commencement. Our liability is limited to intentional misconduct and gross negligence, with maximum compensation capped at three times the amount paid for services in the last six months.

8. Intellectual Property

All legal methodologies, contract templates, and consulting frameworks developed by us are protected by copyright and remain our intellectual property. Clients receive a simple, non-transferable right to benefit from these services exclusively for their business legal needs. Distribution to third parties, reproduction, or commercial use without our express written permission is prohibited. Client-owned materials and business information naturally remain the property of the client.

9. Data Protection

The protection of business and personal data is our top priority. All data collected during service provision is used exclusively for contract fulfillment and legal services, processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. Detailed information on data processing can be found in our Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of these T&C. By engaging our services, you agree to occasionally receive information about legal updates and relevant business law insights. You may opt out of this communication at any time.

10. Final Provisions

Swiss law exclusively governs all contracts. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Zürich. Should individual provisions of these T&C be invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the original provision. No verbal side agreements exist. Changes to these T&C must be made in writing and will be communicated to you in a timely manner.
