Terms
Who these terms are with
These terms apply to k2elk.com and to work carried out by k2elk gmbh, c/o aaretax Treuhand AG, Rain 63, 5000 Aarau, Switzerland (UID CHE-202.208.104). Questions go to info@k2elk.com.
Using this website
You may read, print and share the pages of this website for your own information. The site is provided as it is. We keep it accurate and available as far as we reasonably can, but we do not promise that it is complete, error-free or reachable at all times, and we may change or withdraw content at any time.
Not an offer
Nothing on this website is an offer, a recommendation or advice, and nothing here is an invitation to invest in k2elk gmbh or in any of its businesses. Descriptions of our companies and services are there to explain what we do. A binding agreement is only created by a written offer that we sign with you.
How work is agreed
Client work starts with a written offer covering scope, price, timing and the responsibilities on each side. That offer, together with any annex it refers to, is what governs the project. Where the offer is silent, these terms apply. Your own purchasing conditions apply only if we have accepted them in writing.
Prices, invoicing and payment
Prices are in Swiss francs and exclude VAT unless the offer says otherwise. Unless agreed differently, we invoice per completed milestone or monthly for continuing work. Invoices are due 30 days from the invoice date. Third-party costs such as licences, hosting and services bought for your project are passed on as agreed in the offer.
Changes to scope
Projects change, and that is normal. Work outside the agreed scope is described, priced and confirmed in writing before it starts. Where a change affects the timeline, we say so at the same time.
Your material and our delivery
You keep the rights in the content, data and material you give us, and you confirm that you are entitled to pass it to us. On full payment, the rights in the deliverables we made specifically for you pass to you as set out in the offer. Tools, libraries, components and know-how that we used but did not create for you remain ours or their licensors’, and you receive the licence you need to use the deliverable. Open-source components keep their own licences.
Confidentiality
We keep what we learn about your business confidential and use it only for your project, unless it is already public, you allow us to share it, or we have to disclose it by law. The same applies to you regarding our proposals and methods. We may name you as a client and show non-confidential work in our portfolio only if you agree.
Third-party services
Projects usually involve services we do not operate, such as hosting, model providers, payment services or email delivery. Those services carry their own terms, availability and pricing. We help you choose and set them up, and we flag material conditions, but we are not responsible for their performance or for changes they make.
Liability
We are liable for damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence. For slight negligence, our liability is limited to the amount invoiced for the affected work in the twelve months before the event, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss such as lost profit, lost data or business interruption. Liability that cannot be limited under Swiss law is unaffected. Please keep your own backups of data and content you provide.
Ending an engagement
Either side can end a continuing engagement with 30 days’ written notice, unless the offer sets a different period. Work completed and costs already committed up to that point are invoiced. Either side may terminate with immediate effect for a material breach that is not fixed within a reasonable time after notice.
Trade marks and content
K2ELK, the K2ELK wordmark and the names of our businesses are ours. The text, design, images and code on this website are protected by copyright. Use beyond what the law allows needs our written consent. Third-party material on this site is credited where it appears, including aerial imagery from swisstopo.
Applicable law
Swiss law applies, without its conflict-of-law rules. The place of jurisdiction is Aarau, Switzerland, as far as the law permits. If a provision of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest stays in force.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms for future engagements and website use. The version published here when your offer is signed is the one that applies to that engagement.
