These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access and use of the website Leez.ch and the online platform for business transfer and acquisition (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Leez SA (c/o eFoundr SA, c/o DM Fiduciaire Sàrl, Rue des Jordils 40, 1025 St-Sulpice, Switzerland). By creating an account or using any part of the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as by our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the user) and Leez SA. Please read them carefully. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
The Service is intended for use by individuals and organisations located in Switzerland. By registering for an account, you confirm that you are a resident of Switzerland or that your organisation is established in Switzerland. You must also be at least 18 years old (or of legal age in your canton) and be capable of entering into a binding contract to use Leez.ch.
The Service is intended for three categories of users: business sellers, potential buyers, and professional partners (including fiduciaries, accountants, and merger and acquisition consultants). Each category accepts these Terms according to their use of the Service.
We reserve the right to refuse access to the Service to anyone, or to limit access to users outside Switzerland, at our discretion.
Account creation: To use the Service, you must register for a user account. During registration, you must provide a valid email address and your name, and choose a secure password. If you create an account on behalf of an organisation or business, you must provide the organisation's details and have the authority to do so.
User roles: Leez.ch offers three main user profiles:
Sellers: Can create listings to sell their business, manage buyer applications, and share confidential documents via confidentiality agreements (NDA).
Buyers: Can browse available businesses, submit information requests, and access data according to defined confidentiality levels.
Partners: Can publish business listings on behalf of their clients, manage requests, and benefit from additional features.
Account information: You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information up to date. Leez SA is not responsible for losses or problems arising from inaccurate or outdated information you provide.
Single account: Each user or business entity must maintain only one account, unless expressly authorised by us. You may not create an account using a false identity or in the name of someone else without authorisation.
Security of credentials: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials (email and password). Do not share your password with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, you must inform us immediately via our contact page.
Account use: You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. Any action taken through your account is presumed to have been authorised by you. We strongly recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication if available. Leez SA is not responsible for losses or damage resulting from your failure to protect your account credentials.
Unauthorised access: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that we believe has been compromised or is being used fraudulently or in violation of these Terms.
Leez offers different payment models depending on your user profile. The specifics of plans, including prices and features, are described on our website.
Buyers - Free offer: Basic access to browse businesses with public information only. You can create a profile for free and receive notifications about new opportunities.
Buyers - Premium subscription (annual): Access to advanced search filters, alerts for new businesses, access to restricted information after identity verification, ability to submit NDA requests to access confidential data, and priority support.
Sellers - One-time listing fee: Fixed fees to publish a listing for your business. Once paid, your listing remains active during its publication. Payment is non-refundable, except where required by law.
Partners - Premium subscription (annual): Unlimited listing publications during the subscription period, access to advanced management tools, dedicated support, and increased platform visibility. Annual fees billed in advance. Cancellation during the period entitles you to no pro-rata refund.
Optional advertising packages: Visibility and marketing packages can be added to increase the reach of your listing. These services are charged separately according to the specific conditions of each package.
Free offer: Our free plan for buyers allows you to use the Service with certain limitations. Leez SA reserves the right to modify the features of the free offer, impose additional limitations, or remove the free offer entirely at any time. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice if modifications could significantly affect you.
Non-refund policy: All payments are final. Once paid, there are no refunds or pro-rata cancellations, whether you fully use the Service or not. If you cancel your subscription during a paid period, you will not receive a refund for the remaining period. This also applies if your account is terminated due to a violation of these Terms. We provide a free offer specifically so you can evaluate the Service before committing to a paid plan.
Payment processor: All payments for Leez are processed by our secure payment provider, Stripe. By providing payment information, you accept Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy. We do not directly process or store your complete credit card details.
For sellers (one-time payment): Listing fees are charged once at the time of publication. Stripe will charge your provided payment method for the publication fees. You can view your transaction history from your account.
For subscriptions (buyers and partners): Stripe will automatically renew your subscription at the end of each paid period (annual) by charging the same payment method, until you cancel. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of your current subscription period.
Taxes: Stated fees are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise indicated. You are responsible for paying any VAT or other applicable taxes according to your jurisdiction and tax status.
Price changes: We may update fees or introduce new plans from time to time. Any price change will only apply to new subscription periods and will not affect your current paid period. We will notify you by email of any price changes before they take effect.
Overdue payments: If a payment fails or is not authorised, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service until payment is successfully processed. You remain responsible for all fees incurred.
By using Leez, you commit to complying with these guidelines and must not:
Use the Service for illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful activities.
Create multiple accounts to circumvent Service limitations or the conditions of these Terms.
Violate intellectual property rights, privacy, or other legal rights of others.
Harass, threaten, intimidate, or abuse other platform users.
Upload or transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code.
Attempt to bypass platform security measures or access unauthorised data.
Use the Service to send unsolicited bulk messages (spam) or abusive marketing content.
Scrape, automatically extract, or massively copy data from our platform without authorisation.
Post content containing false, misleading, or deliberately inaccurate information.
Circumvent or disable any security or access restriction feature we implement.
We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate any account that we believe violates these guidelines, without prior refund.
Content ownership and responsibility: You retain complete ownership of any content you publish (business listings, documents, descriptions, financial data, etc.). However, by publishing content on Leez, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, and transferable licence to host, display, reproduce, and distribute your content as needed to operate the platform.
Content accuracy: You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of any content you publish. You warrant that you have the right to publish this content and that it does not violate the rights of third parties. You also agree that the information you provide about your business is truthful and honest. Any misrepresentation or deliberately inaccurate information may result in immediate account termination.
Confidentiality levels: Leez offers three confidentiality levels to control access to your business information:
Public: Information is visible to all platform visitors, including non-registered users. Use this level for general business information (sector, general location, number of employees).
Restricted: Information is accessible only to verified premium buyers who have completed their identity verification. Use this level for sensitive information such as complete address, weaknesses, competitive structure, or presence of real estate.
Private (via NDA): Information is accessible only to buyers who have signed a confidentiality agreement (NDA) approved by you. Use this level for detailed financial data, contact information, debt structures, or other highly confidential information.
You have complete control over the confidentiality level of each piece of information. Leez strongly recommends that you do not share information that immediately identifies your business at public or restricted levels if you wish to maintain confidentiality of your transfer project.
Leez is not responsible for published content: Although we actively moderate the platform, Leez SA primarily acts as a showcase and information relay. We are not responsible for content published by sellers or partners, including the accuracy, completeness, or legality of that content. Leez does not conduct independent verification of listed businesses, their financial data, or their legal status.
Buyers and all users accept that Leez cannot guarantee the truthfulness of any listing or information published. It is the buyer's responsibility to conduct their own due diligence, including consulting professional experts (lawyers, accountants, acquisition consultants, etc.) before making decisions.
Removal or suspension of content: We reserve the right to remove or suspend any listing or content that violates these Terms, does not comply with Swiss law, or that we consider contains falsehoods, scams, or abusive content. If your listing is removed, we will notify you by email. Fees paid for a removed listing will not be refunded.
How NDAs work: Leez facilitates the digital signature of confidentiality agreements between sellers and potential buyers. These NDAs allow a buyer to access confidential information whilst committing to maintain its confidentiality.
Electronic signature: By accepting the terms of an NDA via our platform, you consent to the use of electronic signatures, which are legally valid in Switzerland under the Federal Law on Electronic Signatures. The date and time of signature are recorded and linked to your identity for proof purposes.
Signatory responsibility: Each party signing an NDA remains responsible for complying with its terms. Leez cannot guarantee or enforce the NDA if a party violates it. In case of alleged violation, the parties must pursue appropriate legal remedies independently of Leez.
Leez is not party to the NDA: Leez acts only as a technical facilitator for NDA signature. We are not party to confidentiality agreements and have no responsibility in case of breach or dispute between parties to the NDA.
Buyer verification: Before accessing certain restricted or confidential data, buyers may be invited or required to complete identity verification. This verification may include submitting identification documents (identity card, passport) and confirming your address.
Verification process: Leez uses third-party identity verification services to validate your identity. By submitting documents, you accept that Leez shares necessary information with these service providers according to our Privacy Policy.
Verification refusal: If your identity verification is refused, you can contact Leez via our contact page to learn more about the reasons. Access to restricted data will remain limited until you have successfully completed an approved identity verification.
Leez content: The Leez.ch website, its design, layout, and all proprietary content (text, graphics, logos, images, videos, source code) are the exclusive intellectual property of Leez SA or our licensors. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or exploit this content without express written permission from Leez.
Trademarks: Leez and the Leez logo are registered trademarks of Leez SA in Switzerland. You agree not to use these trademarks without prior written authorisation.
User content: Although you retain ownership of your user content (listings, documents), you accept that Leez may use this content for operational and marketing purposes (for example, presenting your listing to buyers, using your listing in platform notifications, etc.).
External links: Our platform may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of these external sites. Use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms of use.
Payment services: As mentioned earlier, all payments are processed by Stripe. The use of Stripe is subject to its terms of service and privacy policy. We have no control over how Stripe handles your payment information.
Professional partners: Leez facilitates connections between sellers, buyers, and professional partners (fiduciaries, lawyers, etc.). However, Leez does not control, formally recommend, or endorse the services provided by these partners. Any transaction or agreement between you and a partner is independent of Leez, and you are responsible for verifying the qualifications and integrity of partners.
Service interruptions: Leez may conduct scheduled maintenance or updates that may temporarily interrupt the Service. We will endeavour to minimise interruptions and notify you in advance where possible. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
Account suspension: We may suspend your account immediately if we have reason to believe that:
You violate these Terms or our policies.
You use the Service for illegal or deceptive purposes.
You have exceeded the usage limitations of your plan.
Your account is involved in fraudulent or spam activities.
Termination by user: You can terminate your account at any time by contacting us via our contact page or using your account settings. Termination takes effect immediately. However, this does not affect fees already paid and does not trigger any refund.
Termination by Leez: We reserve the right to terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, with 30 days' notice (except in case of serious breach, where termination may be immediate). In case of termination by Leez, no refund will be given for active paid subscription or listing fees.
Effect of termination: Once your account is terminated, you lose access to all Service features and content. Your listings will be unpublished. We may retain your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and legal obligations.
Content 'as is': The Service is provided 'as is' without any warranties, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content published on the platform, including business listings, financial data, or buyer information.
Exclusion of legal warranties: To the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law, we exclude any implied legal warranty, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
User responsibility: You use Leez entirely at your own account and risk. You understand that Leez cannot examine each listing or each seller in detail. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of any information, including by consulting experts (lawyers, accountants, acquisition consultants) before making important decisions.
No guarantee of data availability: Although we implement backups, we do not guarantee that your data will never be lost or that the Service will always be available. Our backup systems are a protective measure, not a promise of complete restoration in all scenarios. You are responsible for keeping copies of your important records (for example, regular exports of your documents).
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no case shall Leez SA, its directors, officers, employees, or agents be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or business opportunities, arising from or related to your use or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Liability cap: In no case shall the total liability of Leez SA for all claims arising from your use of the Service exceed the amount you have paid us for the Service during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you are on the free offer or have paid no amount, our total liability shall be limited to a minimal amount or to that permitted by Swiss law.
These limitations apply to any cause of action, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory.
Exceptions: Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability in case of gross negligence, wilful misconduct, fraud, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under Swiss law (for example, certain statutory liabilities or liability for bodily injury caused by negligence).
Your use of Leez involves the collection and processing of certain personal data. For more information on how we collect, use, store, and protect your data, please see our Privacy Policy at https://www.leez.ch/en/privacy.
By accepting these Terms, you also accept the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept our processing of your personal data, you must not use the Service.
Leez SA may revise or update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will inform you by email (sent to the address associated with your account) or by posting a clear notice on our website (for example, via a banner or announcement in your dashboard).
Effective date: Updated Terms will be indicated by an updated 'Last updated' date at the top of this document. Changes become effective after a 30-day period following notification, unless they result from legal requirements or urgent security changes (in which case they become effective immediately).
Continued use equals acceptance: By continuing to use the Service after updated Terms have been posted and become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the Service and, where applicable, cancel your subscription before the changes take effect.
These Terms and any dispute arising from the Service or these Terms shall be governed exclusively by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
Jurisdiction: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Service that cannot be resolved amicably shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland (or the competent Swiss federal courts, as appropriate).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a consumer residing in Switzerland, you may have the right to pursue legal proceedings in your canton of residence under certain consumer protection laws. Nothing in this clause affects any rights you may have as a consumer under mandatory Swiss law provisions.
Entire agreement: These Terms (as well as the Privacy Policy and any other guidelines or policies that we expressly incorporate by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and Leez SA concerning the Service and supersede all prior agreements or understandings (whether written or oral) relating to the same subject matter.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found by a competent court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (or, if not possible, deleted), and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain fully in effect.
No waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of a provision of these Terms shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Leez SA.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party without our prior written consent. Leez may assign or transfer this agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or by operation of law. These Terms shall bind and benefit the parties, their successors, and authorised assignees.
No partnership: No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms. You use the Service as an independent party and are solely responsible for your own transactions, taxes, and legal compliance.
Notice and communication: We may provide you with notices concerning changes to these Terms or matters relating to your account by email or by posting on the Leez.ch website. Notice shall be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent or notice is posted on the website.
If you need to give us notice, you can do so via our contact page at https://www.leez.ch/en/contact or by mail to: Leez SA, c/o eFoundr SA, c/o DM Fiduciaire Sàrl, Rue des Jordils 40, 1025 St-Sulpice, Switzerland.
