Terms of Service

alpflo (the "Service") provides Swiss property due-diligence briefs at alpflo.dev/property. The Service is operated by the alpflo sole proprietor (the "Provider"), domiciled in Switzerland. alpflo is the merchant of record for every brief you order: you contract directly with the Provider, not with a reseller.

A property brief is a one-time digital report. From a Swiss address you supply, alpflo resolves the parcel and assembles facts drawn from public Swiss registers and open geodata — building facts, zoning, ÖREB restrictions, and modelled context such as transit quality and solar potential — with provenance stated on every field.

Every field carries exactly one of four honesty states: On record (confirmed in a primary register), None recorded (the register was queried and held nothing for this parcel), Modelled (derived from a calculation, API, or model — real, but not register-direct), or Could not resolve (an edge case alpflo could not complete). These states are the product. They are stated so you can judge each fact for yourself.

alpflo reports what the public record states. Swiss registers — including the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (GWR) — can contain entries that are incomplete, out of date, or that deviate from physical reality. A value marked "On record" means the register holds it, not that it is correct. You must not treat any field as ground truth. For any binding decision, verify at the authoritative source.

A brief is an information product. It is not legal advice, not a property valuation or price estimate, and not an adjudication of what may be built on a parcel. Nothing in a brief creates an attorney–client, surveyor, appraiser, or advisory relationship. Zoning and ÖREB content describes the public record; only the competent authority can decide what a given project may do. Use a brief to orient yourself, then confirm with the relevant register, authority, or a qualified professional before you act.

By design, a brief permanently excludes the following. Their absence is a deliberate scope choice, not an oversight:

• Natural-hazard exposure — flood, landslide, rockfall, and avalanche risk are not assessed. Consult the official federal and cantonal natural-hazard maps for these.
• Property valuation — no price, market value, rent, or yield estimate is provided.
• Heritage / ISOS status — protected-site and inventory classifications are not assessed.

A brief covers the themes alpflo states it checks for the parcel in question. Coverage varies by canton and by what each register publishes.

The price of a brief is shown before you order and is payable in Swiss francs (CHF). Payment is processed by Stripe; see the privacy notice for how your payment data is handled. A brief is delivered electronically, on screen and as a downloadable PDF, immediately after it is generated.

A brief is a digital good delivered electronically. It is non-refundable once delivered, except where generation fails. The refund policy forms part of these terms.

You may use a brief for your own due diligence on a property you have a legitimate interest in. You must not resell, redistribute, scrape, or bulk- extract briefs or the underlying data, nor use the Service in a way that breaches the terms of the upstream data providers (including swisstopo / GeoAdmin, the Federal Statistical Office, and the cantonal ÖREB cadastres). Source attributions shown in a brief must be preserved.

The Service is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law, the Provider's liability is limited to the price you paid for the brief in question, and the Provider is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on a brief. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory Swiss law (including for intent or gross negligence).

These terms are governed by Swiss law. The place of jurisdiction is the Provider's Swiss domicile, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection venue available to you.

The Provider may update these terms; the version in force when you order governs that order. Questions about these terms can be sent to the contact address published at alpflo.dev/property.
