Terms and Conditions

These Terms govern your use of this website and the advisory services offered by 2S-Consulting GmbH ("2S-Consulting", "we", "us" or "our"), Berghaldenstrasse 6, 8127 Forch, Switzerland. By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, unless a written engagement letter expressly provides otherwise.

Scope of Advisory Services

2S-Consulting provides management consulting services, which may include strategy and business advisory, finance, controlling and risk, digital transformation and process optimisation, Swiss market entry support and interim management. The exact scope, deliverables, timeline and fees of each mandate are set out in a written proposal or engagement letter signed by both parties before work begins.

Nature of the Mandate

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, our services are provided as a mandate (Auftrag) under Articles 394 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations. We owe diligent and professional performance but not a specific outcome. We do not provide legal, tax or audit services.

Timelines and Deliverables

We endeavour to meet all agreed timelines. Dates are estimates where they depend on information, access, approvals or decisions from the client or third parties. 2S-Consulting is not liable for delays caused by such dependencies.

Fees and Payment Terms

Fees are set out in the engagement letter and are quoted in Swiss francs (CHF), exclusive of value added tax unless stated otherwise. Unless agreed differently, invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Out-of-pocket expenses agreed in advance are charged at cost. In case of late payment, we may suspend services and charge default interest at the statutory rate.

Client Responsibilities

The client agrees to provide timely access to the information, systems and people required for the mandate, to review and approve deliverables promptly, and to ensure that all materials provided are accurate and do not infringe third-party rights. Decisions based on our recommendations remain the sole responsibility of the client.

Confidentiality

Both parties shall treat confidential information received in connection with the mandate as strictly confidential and use it only for the purposes of the mandate. This obligation continues after the mandate ends. Specific non-disclosure agreements may supplement this clause.

Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, the client receives a non-exclusive, perpetual right to use the final deliverables for its internal business purposes. 2S-Consulting retains ownership of its pre-existing methods, templates, tools and know-how. We may refer to the existence of the engagement for reference purposes only with the client's prior consent.

Termination

Either party may terminate a mandate at any time in accordance with Article 404 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, or as stipulated in the engagement letter (typically with 30 days' written notice). Services rendered and expenses incurred up to the termination date remain payable.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability

We cannot warrant that specific savings, growth or regulatory outcomes will be achieved. To the extent permitted by Swiss law, our liability is limited to direct damages caused by our gross negligence or intent, and shall not exceed the fees paid for the relevant mandate. Liability for indirect or consequential damages is excluded. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.

Changes to Terms

2S-Consulting reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. The version published on this website applies to new mandates and to the use of the website from the date of publication.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and all mandates are governed by Swiss substantive law, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is the competent court in the Canton of Zurich, subject to mandatory places of jurisdiction.
