Legal
Terms & Conditions
The terms on which Grows builds websites: services, cooperation, prices, rights and liability.
1. Scope
These terms and conditions apply to all contracts for design, development and related services between the provider named in clause 2 and its clients. Differing terms proposed by a client apply only where the provider agrees to them in writing.
The version in force at the time the contract is concluded applies. Clause 16 governs mere use of the website and the free AI check.
2. Provider
The provider is the sole proprietorship named at the end of these terms (the “provider”).
3. Offers and conclusion of contract
The packages shown on this website (“Simple”, “Professional” and “Growth”) are a non-binding invitation to request a quote, not an offer. Price indications such as “from CHF 599” state the lowest entry price, not the price of every project.
A contract becomes binding only with the provider's written quote and the client's acceptance in text form, for which email suffices. The quote sets out the scope, price and dates; in case of conflict it prevails over these terms.
4. Services
The provider performs the services described in the quote, typically concept, design, copywriting, technical implementation, basic search engine optimisation and launch of the website.
The provider may engage third parties. Statements about rankings, visibility or the number of future enquiries are based on experience and are not warranted characteristics; they depend on competition, the market and third-party algorithms over which the provider has no influence.
5. The client's cooperation
The stated delivery times depend on the client's cooperation. The client undertakes in particular to:
- supply all content (logo, images, text, information about the business) in full and in usable quality,
- provide access to the domain, hosting and any other necessary accounts in good time,
- give feedback and approvals within the agreed period,
- name a contact person with authority to decide.
The client warrants that it holds the necessary rights in the material supplied and indemnifies the provider against third-party claims relating to that material.
6. Dates
“Live in 7 days” refers to the “Simple” and “Professional” packages and describes the usual implementation time from the moment all content and access required under clause 5 is complete. “Growth” runs for the period agreed in the quote, usually 3–5 weeks, because positioning and concept precede the build. Both are guides, not a fixed date within the meaning of art. 108 no. 3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, unless a fixed date is expressly agreed.
If the client's cooperation is delayed, the dates shift accordingly.
7. Prices and payment
The fixed price stated in the quote applies, in Swiss francs. The provider is not liable for VAT, so no VAT is owed or shown (art. 10 para. 2 lit. a VAT Act). Should the provider become liable for VAT, the tax will be added to the stated prices from that point.
Unless the quote provides otherwise, 50 per cent is due on placing the order and 50 per cent on launch of the website, each within 14 days of the invoice date, net. Once that period expires the client is in default without further reminder (art. 102 para. 2 CO), and default interest of 5 per cent accrues (art. 104 para. 1 CO).
Third-party costs (in particular domain, hosting, licences for images or fonts, and paid services) are not included in the fixed price unless the quote expressly names them.
8. Additional work
Requests going beyond the scope described in the quote are quoted separately and invoiced additionally once accepted. The provider says so before carrying out such work.
9. Acceptance
The provider makes the website available for acceptance. The client reviews it within seven days and reports defects in text form. If no response is given within that period, or the website is taken live, it is deemed accepted.
10. Rights in the work
On payment in full, the provider transfers to the client the exclusive rights of use, unlimited in time and territory, in the work created specifically for it, for the agreed purpose. Until then all rights remain with the provider.
Not transferred are rights in tools, components, templates and methods the provider uses generally, and in third-party services; in these the client receives a non-exclusive right of use within the scope of the relevant licence.
11. Reference
The provider may name and show the website created as a reference, naming the client. The client may object at any time in text form.
12. Warranty
The provider remedies defects reported in text form within 30 days of acceptance free of charge by rectification. If rectification does not succeed within a reasonable period, the client may request a reduction in price.
Impairments caused by changes made by the client or third parties, by outages of hosting or third-party services, by changes to browsers or search engines, or by omitted updates do not count as defects.
13. Liability
The provider is liable for intent and gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence and for indirect damage, consequential damage, lost profit and data loss is excluded so far as the law permits. Art. 100 para. 1 of the Swiss Code of Obligations prohibits excluding liability for unlawful intent or gross negligence, and no such exclusion is intended here.
So far as permitted, liability is otherwise limited to the amount paid for the engagement concerned. The provider is not liable for damage arising from the operation of third-party services.
14. Confidentiality
Each party treats the other's non-public information as confidential and uses it only to perform the contract. This duty survives the end of the contract. The processing of personal data is governed by the privacy policy.
15. Termination
The contract ends when the agreed services have been performed in full. If the client withdraws before completion, it owes payment for the services performed up to that point and compensation for expenditure incurred (art. 377 CO).
Either party may terminate with immediate effect for good cause, in particular a material breach of contractual duties that continues despite warning.
16. The website and the free AI check
The AI visibility check and the content of this website are provided free of charge and without warranty as to accuracy or completeness. A result is an automated snapshot of publicly available characteristics, not advice, and there is no entitlement to availability.
The check may only be used for addresses you are entitled to test. Automated bulk querying is prohibited, and the provider may limit use by technical means.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
Swiss law applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
The place of jurisdiction is the provider's seat. Mandatory places of jurisdiction are reserved, in particular the consumer's place of domicile under art. 32 of the Swiss Civil Procedure Code.
18. Final provisions
Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force; the invalid provision is replaced by one that comes as close as possible to its intended purpose. Changes to these terms are notified to the client in advance and apply to contracts concluded thereafter.
