Terms of use & contact

Ziercular is free, unlisted and closed by referral; these terms exist so that expectations on both sides are written down.

Contact point

Ziercular is operated privately by a natural person domiciled in Switzerland. We publish a permanent contact address and answer it:

Boris Hofer
Postfach
4800 Zofingen

Data-protection matters go to the address given in the privacy notice.

The terms

What this is
Ziercular is a private, invitation-only circle offered free of charge. There are no dues, no joining fee and no paid tiers. It is not a public forum, not a media outlet and not a marketplace; it is not open to registration without a referral code scanned from a member.
Who may use it
Members must be at least 18 years old and must have claimed a valid referral code. Accounts are personal; credentials and referral codes may not be shared or transferred.
The club organises nothing
Members share places they favour and hours they intend to be there. Ziercular books no tables, holds no venues and runs no programme alongside any conference. It is neither host nor guarantor of anything that follows from a meeting between members.
Conduct
Nothing said in a direct thread or a place thread is attributed outside it. No press, no recording, no screenshots of member correspondence. Unlawful content, harassment and commercial solicitation end a membership immediately, as does misuse of another member's data.
Content and responsibility
Members are responsible for what they write, share and arrange. Messages are not pre-moderated; we act on reports and on the referral chain, which attaches every account to the member who vouched for it.
Availability and liability
The service is provided free and as-is, without warranty of availability or fitness. To the extent Swiss law permits, liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. Nothing here limits rights that mandatory consumer law grants members in the EU/EEA.
Ending membership
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or remove an account that breaches these terms. A member who issued a referral code may recover it, which deletes the account that claimed it - this is stated at registration.
Law and venue
Swiss law applies, with the ordinary courts at the operator's Swiss domicile, insofar as no mandatory jurisdiction protects a consumer in their country of residence.
