Terms of use

1. Scope and contract partner

Your contract partner is the operator of SchweizerIMG named in section 14 (“SchweizerIMG”, “we”, “us”). These terms apply to the website and the web application at schweizerimg.ch (the “service”) and to everyone who uses it with an account (“you”).

You accept these terms when you create an account. If you use the service for an organisation, you confirm that you may act for it, and our data processing agreement applies as well. Other terms, such as your own general terms and conditions, apply only if we have agreed to them in writing.

2. The service

SchweizerIMG provides image tools that run in your browser — for example to compress, convert, resize, crop and edit images, add watermarks, blur or hide areas and view or remove metadata. Your images are processed on your device and are not sent to us (see the privacy policy). Results exist only in your browser until you download them. The service needs a current browser and enough memory on your device; some tools need additional browser features.

We provide the service as it stands at any given time. We do not guarantee any particular availability, and there is no service level agreement. Maintenance, updates, faults or events beyond our control may interrupt the service. We may change, extend or remove tools and functions at any time. The free plan may be limited, changed or ended.

3. Account

• The service is intended for users in Switzerland. Sign-up may be limited to connections from Switzerland.
• You must provide a valid e-mail address that you have access to. An account is personal and may not be shared.
• You keep access to your e-mail account and, if you set one, your password secure, and you are responsible for activities under your account. Tell us without delay if you suspect misuse.
• You can delete your account at any time in the settings (see section 10).
• We may occasionally send you e-mails about new features and improvements of SchweizerIMG — a new account from the start (the sign-up form says so), an account from before October 2026 only once you switch them on in the settings. Every such e-mail contains an unsubscribe link, and you can switch them off at any time in the settings; e-mails necessary to operate your account and keep it secure are not affected. Details are in the privacy policy.

4. Your responsibilities

You use the service lawfully. In particular, you may not use it to create, edit or spread unlawful content, to infringe the rights of others, to attack, overload or probe the service, to access other users' accounts, to circumvent usage limits (for example by modifying the application or automating requests) or to resell the service without our consent.

You are responsible for having the necessary rights to the images you edit — in particular the copyright of photographers and other right holders — and for respecting the personality rights of the people shown, including their right to their own image.

Check every result before you rely on it, publish it or pass it on. This applies in particular to blurring, pixelating or hiding areas and to removing metadata: make sure that nothing you want to hide is still visible or contained in the file. Whether a result is sufficient for your purpose is for you to judge.

Keep your own copies of your images and results. We do not store them and therefore cannot restore them.

5. Plans, limits and payment

• The plans, their prices, limits and included tools are shown on the pricing page at the time you order. Prices are in Swiss francs. No VAT is charged, as we are not subject to Swiss VAT.
• Each plan includes a monthly number of operations and limits such as file size and the number of files per run. An operation is one run of one tool, however many images it contains; failed or cancelled runs do not count. Plans without a monthly limit are subject to fair use.
• Paid plans are paid in advance, monthly or yearly, and renew automatically for the same period until you cancel them.
• Card and TWINT payments are processed by Stripe. Payment by Swiss QR-bill may be offered on request.
• Plan changes by card or TWINT: an upgrade takes effect immediately, and the prorated difference for the rest of the current billing period is charged at once. A downgrade, or a switch to a cheaper billing period, also takes effect immediately; the unused value of your current plan is credited against your next invoices. This credit is not paid out. The customer portal shows the amount before you confirm the change.
• Plan changes on a Swiss QR-bill: an upgrade takes effect immediately, and we invoice the prorated difference for the rest of the current period. A downgrade or a change of billing period takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; nothing is credited or refunded. If you pay more than an invoiced amount, we return the excess by bank transfer on request.
• You can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current paid period. Fees already paid are not refunded in any case — not on cancellation, the deletion of your account, the suspension or closure of your account or the discontinuation of the service, and not for unused parts of a period — except for the credit on a plan change described above, and except where mandatory law requires a refund.
• We may change prices. We announce a change at least 30 days in advance; it applies from your next billing period, and you may cancel before it takes effect.

6. Warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We give no warranty that it is free of errors or interruptions, that it is suitable for a particular purpose or that its results meet particular requirements, for example legal requirements for anonymisation or publication. This does not limit our liability for intent or gross negligence (section 7).

7. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence and for personal injury (death, bodily injury or harm to health).

Otherwise, as far as the law permits: liability for slight negligence is excluded; liability for our auxiliaries, such as hosting and e-mail providers, is excluded (Art. 101 para. 2 of the Swiss Code of Obligations); and we are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, lost profit or lost data or files.

In all remaining cases, our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event that caused the damage. On the free plan, our liability is therefore limited to the cases named in the first paragraph.

8. Indemnity

If a third party makes claims against us because you used the service unlawfully or in breach of these terms — for example because of an image you had no right to edit or publish — you indemnify us against these claims, including reasonable costs of legal defence.

9. Data protection

We process personal data as described in the privacy policy. If you use the service for an organisation, our data processing agreement governs the personal data of its users that we process in their accounts; it is accepted together with these terms.

10. Account deletion, suspension and termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period and ends when you delete your account. You can delete your account at any time in the settings. An active paid plan is then cancelled immediately, without refund. You can also cancel your plan first and delete your account later.

We may suspend or close your account without notice if you breach these terms, misuse the service or endanger its security, or if the law requires it.

We may also end the contract, or discontinue the service as a whole, with 30 days' notice by e-mail.

Fees already paid are not refunded in any of these cases, except where mandatory law requires a refund (section 5).

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. We announce changes at least 30 days before they take effect, by e-mail or on the website. If you continue to use the service after that date, the changed terms apply. If you do not agree, you can delete your account, and if you have a paid plan, cancel it, before the changes take effect.

12. Assignment and severability

We may transfer this contract with all rights and obligations to a successor, for example a company that takes over the service; we will inform you. You may transfer it only with our written consent.

If a provision of these terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid.

13. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland, subject to mandatory places of jurisdiction — consumers may in particular also sue at their place of residence.
