Website Terms of Use
1. Operator and Scope
The website n-line.ch (the Website) is operated by NORTHLINE — HR Operations & Advisory, under the responsibility of Aleksia Rabinovich (the Operator).
Business address: Avenue Viollier 13, 1260 Nyon, Switzerland
General contact: contact@n-line.ch
These Terms of Use describe the conditions relating to access to the Website, consultation of its content and use of its publicly available features.
They concern the Website itself and do not constitute general terms and conditions for the Operator's professional services. Any professional engagement, consultation or other service relationship is governed by the applicable proposal, service definition, contractual terms or other arrangements agreed separately.
2. Purpose and Nature of the Website
The Website presents the Operator's activities, professional expertise and services relating to Swiss human resources operations and advisory matters.
It may also provide articles, professional insights, informational resources, contact facilities and subscription options.
Information published on the Website is provided for general informational purposes. Descriptions of the Operator's services do not, by themselves, constitute an offer to enter into a particular professional engagement.
The Website does not establish an advisory relationship merely because a person accesses its content or submits an enquiry.
3. Information and Editorial Content
The Operator endeavours to ensure that information published on the Website is accurate, relevant and appropriately maintained.
Nevertheless, information concerning Swiss employment administration, HR practices, statutory obligations and related matters may change. Website content may therefore not reflect every subsequent development or the circumstances of an individual organisation or person.
Articles, professional insights, guides, checklists, templates, downloadable documents and other informational resources made available through the Website, including content published in N-journal, are intended to provide general information and illustrative materials, whether made available free of charge or for payment, unless expressly stated otherwise in separately applicable terms.
Such materials do not constitute advice tailored to a particular organisation or individual, nor do they constitute professional instructions or recommendations intended to be implemented without appropriate assessment of the relevant circumstances.
Users are responsible for assessing the suitability and current relevance of such materials before relying upon, adapting or applying them, including verifying any applicable legal, regulatory or contractual requirements.
This provision does not limit obligations arising under a separately accepted professional engagement or mandatory rights applicable to paid materials.
4. Enquiries and Website Forms
The Website provides forms and contact facilities through which visitors may request information, submit professional enquiries or express interest in the Operator's services.
The submission of a form or other enquiry does not automatically constitute acceptance of a service request, confirmation of an appointment or conclusion of a professional mandate.
Where further cooperation is contemplated, the relevant scope, conditions and any applicable fees are established separately before the corresponding engagement is accepted.
Users should provide information that is relevant to their enquiry and refrain from including unnecessary sensitive personal information or confidential third-party documentation in general Website forms.
Where supporting documents are necessary, the Operator may provide separate instructions for their transmission.
The processing of information submitted through Website forms is described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Subscriptions and Communications
Where the Website offers subscriptions to newsletters, editorial publications or other communications, participation is voluntary.
Subscribers may withdraw their subscription using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the relevant communications or by contacting the Operator.
The availability, frequency and content of such communications may be adjusted or discontinued.
Subscribing to Website communications does not establish a professional service relationship with the Operator.
The collection and processing of subscriber information are governed by the Privacy Policy.
6. Intellectual Property and Use of Content
Unless otherwise indicated, the texts, articles, illustrations, graphics, visual elements, designs and other original materials published on the Website belong to the Operator or are used under an applicable authorisation.
Such materials may be protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.
Users may access and consult Website content for lawful informational purposes.
References to the Website, ordinary hyperlinks and quotations permitted by applicable law remain authorised. Where appropriate, the source should be acknowledged.
Reproduction, commercial republication, systematic extraction, distribution or adaptation of protected Website materials beyond what is permitted by law requires the prior authorisation of the relevant rights holder.
Nothing in these Terms restricts uses expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law.
7. Acceptable Use and Website Security
Users shall refrain from using the Website in a manner that is unlawful or that compromises its security, integrity or normal functioning.
In particular, users must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to Website systems, introduce malicious code, interfere with security mechanisms or use automated processes that place an unreasonable burden on the Website's infrastructure.
The Operator may implement proportionate technical measures to protect the Website against misuse, unauthorised access and automated abuse.
8. External Links and Third-Party Resources
The Website may contain hyperlinks to external websites, official publications, professional organisations, service providers or other third-party resources.
These resources are operated independently and may be subject to their own conditions and privacy notices.
The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily imply endorsement of all information or services provided by the third party.
The Operator does not control the availability, content or subsequent modifications of external websites. Responsibility in relation to third-party resources is determined in accordance with applicable law.
9. Website Availability and Responsibility
The Operator may modify, update, temporarily suspend or discontinue Website content or functionality where necessary for operational, technical, security or other legitimate reasons.
Although reasonable efforts are made to maintain the Website, uninterrupted availability and the absence of technical errors cannot be guaranteed.
The Operator does not guarantee that general informational content will be suitable for every individual situation or professional purpose.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not responsible for decisions taken, measures implemented or outcomes arising from a User's independent interpretation, adaptation or application of general Website content or downloadable informational materials outside a separately accepted professional engagement.
Any liability arising in connection with the Website is determined in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law.
The rights and obligations arising under a separately accepted professional engagement remain governed by the terms applicable to that engagement.
10. Protection of Personal Data
The collection and processing of Personal Data in connection with the Website are described in the following documents:
These documents provide additional information concerning the relevant processing activities, technologies and rights of the persons concerned.
11. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Amendments
The operation of the Website and matters concerning these Terms of Use are governed by Swiss substantive law, subject to any mandatory provisions of applicable law.
To the extent legally permissible and validly agreed, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising directly from the use of the Website or these Terms of Use shall be Nyon, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The competent judicial authority shall be determined in accordance with applicable procedural law.
This designation is without prejudice to mandatory rules of jurisdiction, including those protecting consumers, and does not extend to professional engagements governed by separate contractual arrangements.
The Operator may amend these Terms to reflect changes to the Website, its functionality or the applicable legal framework.
The current version and its date of revision will be made available on the Website.
