Terms of Use — Fundraiso

Version effective from 1 July 2026 — Version 2026-07-01

§ 1 Scope

1.1 These Terms of Use apply to the Fundraiso platform operated by InternetTime GmbH, accessible at www.fundraiso.ch and www.fundraiso.com (hereinafter uniformly «the Platform» or «Fundraiso»), irrespective of which of these domains the user accesses or has registered through. Note: for ease of reading, the masculine form is predominantly used in the following sections.

1.2 Acceptance of these Terms of Use by users of the Platform begins with the use of the Platform for all areas that do not require separate registration or sign-in. For the areas for which the user must create a profile, acknowledgement of the Terms of Use in the version valid at the time of registration begins upon completion of registration. During the registration process, the user is informed directly at the confirmation button («Create account» or «Continue with Google») that, by clicking the button, he accepts these Terms of Use as well as the Privacy Policy in their respective valid version; both documents are linked directly at the notice. By clicking the confirmation button, the user declares his consent; the accepted version is logged with a timestamp.

1.3 These Terms of Use govern exclusively the contractual use of the Platform, of the content, data, export functions, interfaces and other digital services of Fundraiso available thereon, by the user. Deviating terms of the user do not apply unless InternetTime GmbH expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

1.4 Where special terms are agreed for particular products, data packages, interfaces, trial access, partner programmes or paid additional services, those terms prevail over these Terms of Use in the event of conflict.

1.5 These Terms of Use apply equally to access via application programming interfaces (APIs) and other machine-readable means of access. In particular, the data-use and redistribution restrictions under § 4 (namely §§ 4.5 and 4.11) apply without limitation to use via the API; API access confers no broader rights of use or redistribution than an ordinary subscription.

§ 2 Services

2.1 No guarantees or other assurances apply to the services offered by InternetTime GmbH.

2.2 Use of the paid content of the Platform is tied to the conclusion of an annual subscription. The Platform clearly declares which subscriptions include which additional functions. The product description on the Platform applies.

2.3 InternetTime GmbH is entitled to temporarily shut down the Platform. This is necessary in particular for updating web content as well as for server maintenance and inspection. The user of the Platform accepts the temporary shutdown of the Platform, including without prior notice, in particular where this is done for the reasons stated above. InternetTime GmbH endeavours to carry out such shutdowns only at times of low visitor numbers. InternetTime GmbH is not liable for a shutdown of the Platform — and thereby also the unavailability of queries to the underlying database — due to force majeure, such as power outages arising for various reasons.

2.4 InternetTime GmbH reserves the right to modify the content offered on the Platform in whole or in part, or to remove irrelevant information. InternetTime GmbH decides independently on the publication and removal of content on the Platform.

2.5 The services are provided as a data-driven information and research service. Fundraiso owes no particular research success, no particular number of eligible funding matches and no suitability of the data for any specific funding application, investment decision or other economic decision of the user.

2.6 Where Fundraiso offers export functions, downloads, APIs, integrations or other machine-readable access options, these are available exclusively within the scope of the respective booked product, the technical documentation and the agreed usage limits.

2.7 The price is agreed, upon each booking or active renewal, as the price then in effect; a price change becomes effective only upon such an active booking or renewal and is never applied unilaterally to an ongoing period. Excepted is the pass-through of statutory levies (in particular changes to value-added tax), which may take place without separate consent. In all other respects, § 9 applies to amendments of these Terms.

§ 3 Registration

3.1 Various services/content of the Platform are visible to users only after conclusion of an annual subscription. During registration, personal information (email address and name) is requested via an input form, all of which is required for complete registration.

3.2 Users of the Platform are given the opportunity at any time to change their details and to update information about themselves. Users may furthermore delete their account independently at any time. Deletion of the account has no effect on the duration of a subscription, which in each case runs for one year until renewal.

3.3 During registration, the user may freely choose his password. The email address can be adjusted by the user. Upon request, InternetTime GmbH can carry this out.

3.4 By registering and accepting the Terms of Use, the user consents to receiving emails from InternetTime GmbH. Emails are sent solely on matters relating to the user account (forgotten password, account creation), news relating to the Platform, and further thematically relevant points directly connected with the use of the Platform.

3.5 User accounts are personal and non-transferable. The shared use of an account by several persons, the sharing of login credentials outside the authorised group of users, or the passing on of access to third parties is prohibited, unless expressly provided for in the booked licence model.

3.6 The user is obliged to provide complete and accurate information upon registration and throughout the entire term of the contract, and to update it without delay in the event of changes.

3.7 Team and multi-seat licences (seats)

3.7.1 InternetTime GmbH may offer licence models under which a subscription covers use by several authorised natural persons (members) within the same customer (team). Within such a model, the prohibition on shared account use (§ 3.5) is correspondingly relaxed for the permitted number of seats.

3.7.2 Each member receives a personal, non-transferable access (seat). The number of concurrently permitted seats depends on the booked package; use beyond this requires the booking of additional seats.

3.7.3 The team is administered by an owner/administrator (Owner), who can invite and remove members and manage seats. The Owner is responsible towards InternetTime GmbH for compliance with these Terms of Use by all members as well as for the accuracy of the member details.

3.7.4 Billing of all seats is bundled via the Owner or the contractually obligated customer.

3.7.5 The rights of use granted to a member correspond to those under § 4; a team licence extends the permitted internal use to the members of the team but creates no rights of transfer, resale or sublicensing towards third parties (§ 4.5).

3.7.6 Upon termination of the membership or of the team subscription, the access and use rights of the relevant member end; § 4.10 (use of data after termination of contract) applies accordingly.

3.7.7 Where separate product terms exist for team/multi-seat licences, those prevail in the event of conflict (§ 1.4).

§ 4 Obligations of the users / ownership of the data

4.1 The user of the Platform must keep his password secret. The user himself bears responsibility for damage arising from misconduct in the form of disclosure or other publication of the password. If the user learns that his password is being misused, e.g. by being used by third parties, he is obliged to notify InternetTime GmbH thereof immediately in writing.

4.2 Users of the Platform are prohibited from infringing copyrights, protective rights or other rights, or from infecting the Platform or parts thereof with viruses and other programs.

4.3 The paid content of the Platform may neither be copied nor collected in a third-party database. InternetTime GmbH remains the owner of the data, whereby the right to commercial use of the data lies solely with InternetTime GmbH. A contractual penalty (Konventionalstrafe) of CHF 100,000 falls due in the event of a breach. InternetTime GmbH furthermore reserves the right to take further legal steps.

4.4 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the user receives merely a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the data and content accessible on Fundraiso, during the term of the contract, exclusively for his own internal research, analysis and fundraising purposes.

4.5 It is prohibited in particular to sell, rent, license, sublicense, publish, pass on to third parties, feed into own or third-party databases, transfer into data lakes or training datasets, use to build competing products, or make available as a standalone data service, the data or substantial parts thereof, whether directly or indirectly.

4.6 Likewise prohibited are automated forms of access outside the expressly provided interfaces, in particular scraping, crawling, harvesting, automated mass downloads, circumvention of technical protection measures, use of bots or comparable technologies, as well as any use that may impair the stability or security of the Platform.

4.7 The internal creation of analyses, reports, shortlists and decision templates on the basis of the data remains permitted, provided that no raw data or substantial parts of the datasets are thereby disclosed to third parties.

4.8 Where the user submits information, corrections, comments, additions or other content to Fundraiso, he grants InternetTime GmbH a right of use thereto that is unlimited in time, territory and substance, free of charge, to the extent necessary for the review, processing, storage, publication and further development of the Platform. The user warrants that he is entitled to do so.

4.9 Where data or insights from Fundraiso are quoted to third parties in a permitted manner or used in reports, an appropriate attribution, at least «Source: Fundraiso.ch», must be made.

4.10 Upon termination of the contract, all rights of use to the non-publicly accessible data end, unless mandatory law or an express deviating agreement provides otherwise. Already exported raw datasets must be deleted at the request of InternetTime GmbH, to the extent that their further retention is not legally required.

4.11 Commercial third-party use (agency/reseller licence)

4.11.1 Commercial use of the content for the benefit of third parties going beyond internal use — in particular research, consulting or preparation for the user's clients/mandates — is permitted only to the extent that the user has acquired an express agency/reseller licence from InternetTime GmbH. Without such a licence, § 4.5 (no resale, no sublicensing) remains fully applicable.

4.11.2 The agency licence permits the use of the retrieved content as a basis for derived services (e.g. consulting, research reports) for the number of mandates designated in the booked package. The following remain not permitted: the passing on of raw or bulk data to third parties, the building of an own or third-party competing database, as well as any use that makes the content as such accessible to third parties.

4.11.3 For every derived use towards third parties, Fundraiso must be stated as the source.

4.11.4 Excluded from the licence are data fields whose further licensing is not permitted under the licence or usage terms of their source of origin; such fields are designated in the product terms or in the licence certificate and may not be passed on to third parties.

4.11.5 Scope, number of mandates, price and term of the agency licence are governed by the separate product terms or the individual licence certificate; these prevail in the event of conflict (§ 1.4).

4.11.6 The agency licence is non-transferable and ends with the underlying subscription; § 4.10 (use of data after termination of contract) applies accordingly.

4.12 Indemnification. The user indemnifies InternetTime GmbH against all third-party claims arising from a use of the services or data by the user that breaches the contract or is unlawful, including reasonable costs of legal defence. Towards consumers, this indemnification applies only to the extent that the user is responsible for the underlying breach.

§ 5 Rights of InternetTime GmbH

5.1 InternetTime GmbH reserves the right to revoke the access authorisation of users of the Platform at any time by blocking the access credentials. Subscribers are given a statement of reasons. Towards users acting free of charge (free users), the blocking takes place without a statement of reasons. Revocation is possible in particular if the user has breached his duty of care in handling the access credentials, has violated applicable law when using the Platform, or has engaged in data theft/data misuse.

5.2 In the event of serious or repeated breaches of these Terms of Use, in particular unlawful data extraction, sharing of access credentials or unlawful commercial reuse, InternetTime GmbH is entitled to block access with immediate effect or to terminate the contract extraordinarily. In this case there is no claim to a refund of fees already paid.

5.3 InternetTime GmbH is entitled to employ appropriate technical and organisational protection measures, in particular access restrictions, rate limits, download limits, IP blocks, abuse detection and verification mechanisms.

5.4 InternetTime GmbH may, upon suspicion of misuse, request the user to provide information on the nature and extent of use and, where there is legitimate cause, demand a review of contractually compliant use, to the extent that this is proportionate.

§ 6 Liability of InternetTime GmbH

6.1 The liability of InternetTime GmbH for the Platform is excluded for material and legal defects, in particular with regard to freedom from errors, accuracy, freedom from third-party protective and copyright rights, and the completeness of the information, except in cases of gross negligence or intent.

6.2 The liability of InternetTime GmbH is limited to contract-typical, foreseeable damage, except where such damage was caused by gross negligence or intent or concerns the health of a person.

6.3 InternetTime GmbH is not liable for the content of third-party websites to which links are made, directly or indirectly, on the Platform.

6.4 InternetTime GmbH is not liable for content published for third parties on the Platform (e.g. advertising content). InternetTime GmbH does not adopt as its own the content of third parties published for them on the Platform. If the content of third parties violates applicable law, the respective third party shall indemnify InternetTime GmbH against claims for damages.

6.5 InternetTime GmbH assumes no liability for the activities and content created by the users of the Platform. The content listed there is not represented by InternetTime GmbH, does not reflect the views of InternetTime GmbH and can therefore not be attributed to InternetTime GmbH. InternetTime GmbH does not adopt such content as its own.

6.6 The downloading of files and other information from the Platform is at the user's risk. InternetTime GmbH is not liable for damage that has occurred without fault on the part of InternetTime GmbH (e.g. through the installation of programs, the storage, the downloading or other use of the Platform). Although InternetTime GmbH uses virus-checking programs, no liability is assumed for damage caused by viruses or other harmful programs or files.

6.7 Timely cancellation of a paid subscription is the responsibility of the user. In order to avoid an automatic renewal and further charges, cancellation must take place before the start of the next billing period. A refund in the case of late cancellation is unfortunately not possible.

6.8 The data, content and functions of Fundraiso are provided «as is» and «as available». In particular, InternetTime GmbH gives no warranty of uninterrupted availability, continuous accessibility, currency, completeness, fundability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

6.9 To the extent permitted by law, InternetTime GmbH is not liable for lost profit, missed funding, indirect damage, consequential damage, loss of data, reputational damage or damage arising from decisions made on the basis of Platform content.

6.10 To the extent permitted by law, the total liability of InternetTime GmbH arising out of or in connection with this contract is limited, per incident and in aggregate, to the amount that the user paid for the services in the twelve (12) months prior to the event giving rise to the damage. This limitation does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence, in cases of personal injury, or to the extent that mandatory law provides for more extensive liability.

§ 7 Data protection

7.1 By registering, the user consents to the data protection provisions applicable to the Platform.

7.2 In addition, the separately published data protection provisions, cookie notices and, where applicable, data processing agreements of InternetTime GmbH apply in their respective current version.

§ 8 Deletion of the account by the user / subscription costs

8.1 The services provided by InternetTime GmbH on the Platform can be cancelled at any time. A reclaim of subscription costs by subscribers is thereby excluded. The costs arise as a lump sum upon the one-time activation of access and can under no circumstances be reclaimed. The frequency of use or the premature deletion of the account has no effect on the costs. Cancellation by the user takes place by requesting deletion of his account from InternetTime GmbH in writing or by email. It is made without notice period and without statement of reasons. Cancellation is completed upon deletion of the account.

8.2 Deletion of the user account does not automatically terminate ongoing payment or licence obligations until the end of the agreed billing period, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

8.3 Provisions of the contract which by their nature are intended to continue beyond termination, in particular provisions on intellectual property, data-use restrictions, confidentiality, liability, contractual penalties and applicable law, remain effective even after termination of the contract.

§ 9 Amendment of the Terms of Use

9.1 InternetTime GmbH reserves the right to amend the Terms of Use applicable to the Platform. This applies in particular where an amendment is required due to the legal situation prevailing at the time. By using the Platform, the validity of the Terms of Use in their respective valid version is accepted.

9.2 Material amendments are communicated to the user in an appropriate form, in particular by email or by notice within the Platform, before they take effect. If the user continues to use the Platform after the amendments take effect, this is deemed to be consent, provided that the user was previously informed of this consequence.

§ 10 Final provisions

10.1 The Terms of Use and the entire legal relationship between the user and InternetTime GmbH are subject exclusively to Swiss law.

10.2 Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the original provision.

10.3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by law, is the registered seat of InternetTime GmbH.

10.4 Consumers and mandatory law.

10.4.1 These Terms apply to users acting as consumers (for private purposes) and to users acting as entrepreneurs/commercially. Individual provisions apply depending on this status.

10.4.2 Where the user, acting as a consumer, has his habitual residence in a state whose mandatory consumer law provides for more extensive protection, those mandatory provisions take precedence; the remaining provisions of these Terms otherwise remain unaffected.

10.4.3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction at the registered seat of InternetTime GmbH (§ 10.3) does not apply to the extent that a consumer domiciled in the EU, the United Kingdom or Switzerland may, under mandatory law, sue or be sued at his place of residence or where the law guarantees him a place of jurisdiction.

10.5 These Terms of Use are provided in German and English. In the event of discrepancies or differences of interpretation between the language versions, the German version prevails.
