These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website kantonland.com and all related services, tools, and features (collectively, the “Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the Website.

2. Scope of Services

KantonLand is a free, independent information platform providing general guides, comparison tools, calculators, and editorial content about living in Switzerland. The Website is aimed at individuals relocating to or residing in Switzerland.

The services offered include, but are not limited to: informational guides on insurance, finance, housing, mobility, telecommunications, and relocation; interactive calculators and comparison tools; editorial content; newsletters; contact and intake forms; and the facilitation, organisation, forwarding, or coordination of contacts, referrals, offers, quotes, and services with independent third-party advisors, brokers, contractors, workers, agencies, and other service providers.

KantonLand may expand, modify, or discontinue any of its services at any time. New features, tools, or services added to the Website are subject to these Terms.

3. No Professional Advice

All content on this Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, insurance, or any other form of professional advice.

KantonLand is not a broker, insurance provider, financial advisor, or legal counsel. KantonLand acts solely as an information platform and, where applicable, as an intermediary that facilitates connections between users and independent third-party professionals. The information presented may be simplified, incomplete, or not up to date. Swiss regulations, premiums, tax rates, and procedures change frequently.

You should always verify information through official sources (e.g., ch.ch, your cantonal administration, FINMA, BAG/OFSP) and consult a qualified professional before making decisions based on any content found on this Website.

4. Third-Party Referrals and Service Facilitation

The Website may enable you to request or receive contact with independent third-party advisors, brokers, professionals, contractors, workers, agencies, or other service providers (collectively, “Partners”) for consultations, quotes, comparisons, fulfilment, support, or other related services. These Partners operate independently from KantonLand. Any advice, service, product, offer, or agreement between you and a Partner is solely between you and that Partner unless expressly stated otherwise.

When you submit a contact request, service request, quote request, callback request, intake form, or any similar communication through the Website, you acknowledge and agree that KantonLand may review, qualify, organise, and forward your request and the information you provide to one or more relevant Partners or collaborators that are licensed, authorised, qualified, or otherwise suitable to perform the corresponding activity. This may include sharing your contact details, location, preferences, request details, and any other information reasonably relevant to the requested or related service.

KantonLand acts as an information and referral platform and may also coordinate communications between you and Partners. KantonLand is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, legality, availability, pricing, timing, licensing status, or outcome of any third-party advice, labour, product, or service, and your dealings with Partners remain at your own risk and subject to the respective third party’s own terms, conditions, and privacy policy.

KantonLand may receive referral fees, commissions, service fees, or other compensation from Partners or collaborators. Such arrangements do not create a fiduciary duty toward you and do not make KantonLand a party to the underlying transaction unless expressly agreed in writing.
