2. Description of Service

SwissDocs24 provides a web-based platform for:

  • Transmission of letters to a third-party print/mailing provider (currently Pingen) for printing and enveloping
  • Handover to postal carriers (currently Swiss Post) for physical delivery

  • That letters will be delivered
  • That letters will be delivered on time

All production and delivery timelines shown are estimates only and are not binding. Actual processing and delivery times depend entirely on third-party providers and postal carriers, which are outside our control.

4. Risk Transfer

All risk relating to letters transfers to the print/mailing provider upon successful transmission from our platform. We are not responsible for any loss, damage, delay, or non-delivery occurring after this point.

Production starts immediately after submission. Orders cannot be cancelled, modified, or refunded after submission, except where mandatory consumer rights provide otherwise. If you are an EU consumer, you expressly request and consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that the withdrawal right may lapse once processing starts, to the extent permitted by law.

Carve-outs: These exclusions do not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence, personal injury, or other mandatory statutory liability.

Cap: Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability is limited to (a) for consumers: the amount paid for the affected order, capped at CHF 25; (b) for business users: the amount paid for the affected order, capped at CHF 100; in each case only to the extent permitted by law.

Third parties: Delivery issues are primarily handled with the carrier or print/mailing partner; we support on a best-effort basis but are not responsible for their actions beyond what mandatory law requires.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SwissDocs24, Top Line Electronic GmbH, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:
