3. Description of Services
WILLEN:ORG is a pay-it-forward initiative of W89 GmbH, supporting non-profits in Switzerland. The Website itself is a single page carrying our name, that one line, and an email address. It describes no services and sets out no terms of any support.
All information on the Website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute a legally binding offer of services, an invitation to negotiate, or professional advice of any kind.
W89 GmbH is a commercial company registered in Switzerland. WILLEN:ORG is not a charity, not a foundation, and not a tax-exempt organisation. Nothing on the Website constitutes a claim to charitable status, and contributions made to us are not tax-deductible donations.
4. Support
Any support we provide is given voluntarily and at our sole and absolute discretion. There is no entitlement to receive it, the Website publishes no criteria for it, and we may refuse, discontinue, or modify it at any time without providing reasons.
Whether and on what terms we can help is discussed individually by email. Anything agreed there is agreed separately and is not governed by the Website.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on the Website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, design, layout, and software, is owned by W89 GmbH and is protected by Swiss and international intellectual property laws, in particular the Swiss Federal Act on Copyright and Related Rights (CopA, SR 231.1).
No part of the Website may be reproduced, distributed, modified, publicly displayed, or otherwise used without our prior written consent, unless expressly permitted by mandatory law.

We will process the data you provide in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by Swiss law, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to:

- Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages

- Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Website

This applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Mandatory statutory liability (e.g. for wilful misconduct or gross negligence) remains unaffected.
10. External Links
The Website may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of linked websites and accept no responsibility for them.

11. Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. The current version will always be available on this page with the date of the last update.
Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you must discontinue use of the Website.
12. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict of laws provisions and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts at the registered seat of W89 GmbH in Cham, Canton of Zug, Switzerland.
