5. Pricing and Payment Terms
All prices are quoted in Swiss Francs (CHF) or Euros (EUR) as specified on the website or in the purchase agreement. Prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes, notary fees, or registry charges unless explicitly stated otherwise. Payment in full is due before the share transfer process commences. Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, credit card, cash, and cryptocurrency. Heimat Treuhand will provide payment instructions upon execution of the purchase agreement. The Buyer is responsible for all bank charges, transfer fees, or currency conversion costs associated with payment.
6. KYC and AML Obligations
As a regulated fiduciary service provider in Switzerland, Heimat Treuhand is obligated to comply with Swiss Anti-Money Laundering legislation and international standards for customer identification. The Buyer must provide valid, certified identification documents for all beneficial owners, directors, and authorised signatories. Heimat Treuhand reserves the absolute right to refuse service, suspend processing, or terminate an agreement if KYC requirements are not met to our satisfaction or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful activity. No refund of fees paid shall be due in such circumstances. The Buyer warrants that all information provided is true, accurate, and complete, and agrees to indemnify Heimat Treuhand against any loss arising from false or misleading information.
7. Clean History Guarantee
Heimat Treuhand guarantees that all shelf companies offered for sale have been verified as debt-free, with no outstanding liabilities, legal disputes, or adverse registry entries at the time of transfer to the Buyer. This guarantee is limited to the status of the company at the moment of ownership transfer and does not extend to any events, obligations, or liabilities arising after that date. The Buyer acknowledges that once ownership has been transferred, responsibility for all corporate obligations rests solely with the Buyer. Heimat Treuhand shall not be liable for any debts, claims, or regulatory actions that arise from the Buyer's use or operation of the company following transfer.
8. Limitation of Liability
Heimat Treuhand shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or costs arising from regulatory changes, alterations in tax law, decisions by banking institutions to refuse or close accounts, actions by third parties, or any events beyond our reasonable control occurring after the transfer of ownership. Our maximum liability under these Terms and Conditions, under any purchase agreement, or in connection with any services provided shall be limited to the total purchase price paid by the Buyer for the specific transaction in question. In no event shall Heimat Treuhand be liable for indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, business interruption, or reputational damage. The Buyer acknowledges that the acquisition and operation of a company involves inherent commercial and regulatory risks for which Heimat Treuhand cannot accept responsibility.
