Terms and Conditions (Terms of Service)

1. Scope

These Terms of Service apply to the use of the Clino web application (hereinafter "Service"), operated by Salvador Jovells, Loogartenstrasse 17, 8048 Zurich (hereinafter "Operator"). By registering or using the Service, you accept these Terms.

2. Description of services

Clino is a SaaS platform for employers with small workloads: private individuals who employ domestic workers, as well as sole proprietorships, general and limited partnerships, associations and foundations. The Service is not intended for a company limited by shares (AG), a limited liability company (GmbH) or a cooperative itself; their owners can use Clino for their own household. The Service includes:

• Payroll calculation (gross/net, social deductions, holiday compensation)
• Generation of payslips (PDF)
• Generation of employment contracts (PDF)
• Annual overviews and AHV registration aids for compensation offices
• Compliance reminders and deadline overview
• Insurance guidance (UVG accident insurance) with forwarding of application data at the user's request
• Referral and partner programme
• Connection to bexio (optional): booking payslips with the PDF as a voucher into your bexio accounting and filing year-end documents in your bexio inbox
• Read-only access for your fiduciary (optional)
• Free tools (calculators, templates, certificate)

3. No advisory service

Clino is a calculation and document generation tool. The Service does not constitute tax advice or legal advice. Clino does not broker insurance; it merely points to providers and forwards application data at the user's request. Any referral fees received are disclosed. The responsibility for correct declarations to authorities (AHV compensation office, tax authorities, accident insurance) lies solely with the employer.

4. Prices and payment

The Service costs CHF 19.90 per month. The subscription can be cancelled monthly. New subscriptions start with a free 30-day trial; no charges are incurred until it ends. In addition, a 30-day money-back guarantee applies from the first payment: upon notice to hallo@clino.ch, we will fully refund the first monthly fee. Prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable). Price changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance.

5. User obligations

You agree to:

• Provide correct and complete information (in particular AHV numbers, wages, cantons and, for businesses, the legal form)
• Keep your login credentials confidential
• Only give the link for your fiduciary to people who may see your payroll data
• Independently fulfil your legal obligations as an employer
• Not misuse the Service

6. Calculation accuracy

We use the official contribution rates from the BSV and cantonal compensation offices and update them annually. Despite the greatest care, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the calculations. It is the employer's responsibility to verify the calculations.

7. Limitation of liability

The Operator's liability is limited to the subscription fees paid by the user in the last 12 months. The Operator is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, fines, or back payments to authorities arising from the use of the Service. Mandatory statutory liability for intent and gross negligence remains reserved.

8. Connection to bexio and read-only access for your fiduciary

These features are optional and included in the price.

• bexio is software of bexio AG. You set up the connection yourself ("Connect bexio" or "Sign in with bexio"). Clino then reads details from your bexio, such as company name, legal form, address, chart of accounts and business years.
• At your request, or automatically if you switch this on in Settings, Clino books each payslip as a compound entry into your bexio accounting and attaches the payslip PDF. On request, Clino also places year-end documents such as the salary certificate in your bexio inbox.
• Clino suggests the accounts from your chart of accounts; you can change them. Check the entries in bexio, with your fiduciary if need be. You remain responsible for your accounting and your annual financial statements.
• If you delete a booked payslip, Clino also removes the entry in bexio. If the period is closed in bexio, the permission is missing or bexio cannot be reached, the entry remains in bexio. Clino then gives you the reference so that you can correct it in bexio yourself.
• You can disconnect at any time in Clino (Settings) or in bexio. After that, Clino no longer has access to your bexio. Entries already created remain in bexio.
• bexio AG is responsible for the operation, features and changes of bexio and for the data in your bexio; its terms apply to them. The Operator is not liable for outages or changes of bexio, even if an entry is therefore not made or made late.
• You can give your fiduciary a personal link with which they can view your payslips at clino.ch/t and download them as CSV. They cannot change anything. You decide who gets the link and can revoke it at any time in Settings. This does not make the fiduciary a contracting party of the Operator.

9. Data processing on behalf (data protection)

Where the user records personal data of employees in the Service, Clino processes this data as a processor within the meaning of Art. 9 nDSG, exclusively on the user's instructions and for the provision of the Service. The user confirms that they have informed the data subjects about the processing of their data. The technical and organisational measures are described in the privacy policy. The transfer to your bexio and the read-only access for your fiduciary only take place if you set up these features, and count as the user's instructions.

10. Data protection

Our Privacy Policy applies. The Operator processes personal data exclusively in the context of service provision and in compliance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG).

11. Termination

Either party may cancel the subscription at any time effective at the end of the current month. After cancellation, stored data will be retained in accordance with statutory retention obligations (10 years for payroll data) and subsequently deleted.

12. Changes to the Terms

The Operator reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Changes will be communicated by email or in-app notification and are deemed approved if the user continues to use the Service after they take effect.

13. Applicable law and jurisdiction

Swiss law applies. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich, Switzerland. Mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction remain reserved.

14. Severability clause

If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects its economic purpose.
