Welcome to Apostrophy.
These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website https://www.apostrophy.ch/ (the “Website”), operated by Apostrophy AG (“Apostrophy”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, you are expected to comply with these Terms and applicable laws. Where your express agreement is required, we will request it separately.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue your use of the Website.
2. Scope of Application
The Website provides information about Apostrophy, its mobile operating system, digital services, technology, products, partnerships and business activities.
These Terms apply specifically to the use of the Website and its publicly accessible content.
The use of Apostrophy OS (“AphyOS”), subscriptions, cloud services, user accounts and other digital services is governed by our separate Terms of Service, together with any additional terms expressly applicable to the relevant product or service.
Purchases of hardware or other products through third-party websites are subject to the contractual terms of the relevant seller.
Where specific contractual terms apply to a product or service, those terms take precedence over these Website Terms in relation to that product or service.
3. Permitted Use of the Website
You may access and use the Website for lawful personal, informational and legitimate business purposes.
When using the Website, you agree not to:
- Engage in unlawful, fraudulent or misleading activities.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its systems or connected infrastructure.
- Introduce malicious software or other harmful code.
- Interfere with the security, availability or proper functioning of the Website.
- Use automated tools to extract substantial amounts of Website content in a manner that violates applicable law or our intellectual property rights.
- Infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other legal rights of Apostrophy or third parties.
We reserve the right to take reasonable and proportionate measures to prevent misuse, protect the Website and maintain its security.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its content, including text, graphics, images, design elements, logos, trademarks, videos and other materials, are owned by Apostrophy or used with permission from their respective rights holders.
Such materials may be protected by Swiss and international intellectual property laws.
You may view, download or print Website content for personal reference or legitimate internal business purposes, provided that you do not remove copyright notices or other proprietary information.
Any reproduction, modification, distribution, republication or commercial exploitation beyond what is permitted by applicable law requires prior authorisation from the relevant rights holder.
Apostrophy, AphyOS and associated names, logos and brand elements may be protected trademarks or other intellectual property.
Third-party trademarks and product names remain the property of their respective owners.
Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of, or any licence to, intellectual property beyond the limited permissions expressly described above or provided by applicable law.
5. Website Information and Accuracy
We aim to ensure that the information published on the Website is accurate, clear and up to date.
However, Website content may occasionally contain errors, omissions or outdated information.
Descriptions of products, services, features, specifications, availability and other information may be updated as our technology and commercial offerings evolve.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, information published on the Website is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute a binding contractual offer.
Any binding agreement concerning a product or service will be governed by the terms expressly applicable to that transaction.
We encourage users to contact Apostrophy for clarification when specific information is required before making a commercial or technical decision.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
6. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to external websites, platforms, products or services operated by third parties, including technology partners, distributors and other independent organisations.
These links may be provided for informational purposes, to facilitate access to complementary services or as part of our commercial partnerships.
External websites and services are operated under their respective terms, policies and privacy practices.
Although we aim to reference relevant and reliable resources, Apostrophy does not control the operation, security or availability of independent third-party websites.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Apostrophy is not responsible for third-party content, transactions or services that it does not provide or control.
We recommend reviewing the applicable terms and privacy policies before using any external website or service.

When submitting information through the Website, you agree to provide accurate and relevant details and to avoid submitting unlawful or harmful content.
Submitting an enquiry, requesting a demonstration or contacting Apostrophy does not, by itself, establish a commercial agreement or create an obligation for either party to enter into a contract.
Any subsequent commercial relationship will be governed by the terms agreed between the relevant parties.
Where the Website offers newsletter subscriptions or marketing communications, these will be managed in accordance with the applicable consent requirements and our Data Protection Policy.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the relevant message.
8. Privacy and Data Protection
Apostrophy is committed to respecting personal privacy and handling personal data responsibly.
Personal data collected through the Website is processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
For information about the categories of personal data we process, the purposes of processing, applicable rights and how to contact us regarding privacy matters, please consult our Data Protection Policy.
The use of cookies and similar technologies is described separately in our Cookie Policy.
These Terms do not replace or override the information and rights described in those policies or provided by applicable data protection law.

We take reasonable measures to maintain the security, reliability and availability of the Website.
Nevertheless, access may occasionally be interrupted or restricted due to maintenance, technical issues, security requirements or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We may modify, update, suspend or discontinue Website features where reasonably necessary for operational, technical or security purposes.
While we endeavour to maintain a secure browsing environment, no internet-based service can be guaranteed to operate without interruption or technical vulnerabilities.
Users are encouraged to maintain appropriate security measures when accessing online services.
Nothing in this section limits our obligations under applicable law or any separate contractual commitments.

Apostrophy takes reasonable care in operating the Website and maintaining its content.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Apostrophy is not liable for losses arising solely from temporary Website unavailability, technical interruptions or reliance on general informational content, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for wilful misconduct, gross negligence or any other liability that cannot be excluded or restricted under applicable law.
These limitations apply only to the use of the Website and do not modify any warranties, statutory rights or contractual remedies applicable to products or services supplied under separate agreements.

The latest version will be published on this page, together with its effective date.
Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
Updated Terms apply prospectively from their effective date, subject to applicable law.
Changes to these Website Terms do not automatically amend existing contracts for products or services governed by separate agreements.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, subject to any mandatory legal provisions that may apply.
Any dispute relating to the use of the Website shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Lugano, Switzerland, unless mandatory law provides for a different jurisdiction.
