Maria MarcèsAcceptance of these Terms
These Terms describe the conditions for use of marces.ch (the Website), operated by the person identified in the Imprint (“Marcès”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
By accessing or using this Website you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you must immediately discontinue use of this Website.
Scope
The Website is made available for general information. It is not directed at, and does not constitute an offer or solicitation to any person in a jurisdiction where access to the Website, receipt of the services described or such offer or solicitation would be unlawful or would require registration, licensing or other requirements that Marcès has not met. Persons accessing the Website from outside Switzerland do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
Any advisory engagement is governed by a separate agreement.
Information and independent judgement
The Website presents our approach, services and perspectives for owners, boards and executive teams. Its content is general information and does not constitute advice tailored to any particular organisation, transaction or decision.
You should obtain advice based on the relevant facts before acting on any matter described on the Website. No investment recommendation, legal opinion, tax opinion or statutory audit opinion is provided through the Website.
No engagement through browsing
Viewing the Website or sending an enquiry does not create an advisory relationship, require us to accept an engagement or constitute a binding offer. An engagement begins only when its scope and terms have been separately agreed. Unless expressly agreed in writing, an initial enquiry does not create duties of confidentiality, conflict clearance or exclusivity. We may decline an enquiry or engagement at our discretion, including where independence, conflicts of interest or capacity require this.
Please avoid including sensitive personal data, privileged documents or commercially sensitive detail in an initial enquiry. A suitable channel for exchanging such information can be agreed separately.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, Marcès owns the content and all materials (Protected Materials) presented on this Website, including design, software, branding and other original materials and are protected under applicable intellectual-property laws. Visitors may access and view the Website for lawful personal or internal evaluation. Except as permitted by applicable law or expressly authorised in writing, no right is granted to reproduce, adapt, distribute, publish, commercially exploit or incorporate protected materials into third-party products or services. The Marcès name, logo and distinctive brand symbol(s), further identifiers are proprietary and may be protected under trademark, copyright and other applicable intellectual-property laws. They may not be used in a manner that suggests unauthorised affiliation, endorsement or authorship. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Access to the Website does not transfer ownership of any protected material.
Access to the Website, observation of it, an initial discussion, a proposal or a download does not transfer ownership or grant a licence, whether express, implied or otherwise. Any broader use requires our prior written permission.
Good-faith professional discussion and quotation permitted by applicable law remain unaffected. Any quotation or reference must be attributed appropriately. Where third-party material is used, the relevant rights and obligations remain with its respective owner.
Appropriate and automated use
The Website may be used only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. Except where permitted by applicable law or expressly authorised in writing, automated collection, systematic extraction, reproduction or commercial reuse of Website content or materials is prohibited, including use in artificial-intelligence systems or competing commercial offerings. Users must not interfere with the Website's security, integrity or availability, attempt unauthorised access, misuse its functions or misrepresent the origin or authorship of its content. You must not frame, embed or present the Website or any Protected Materials in a manner that obscures their origin, alters their appearance or context, or suggests endorsement, affiliation or authorship by Marcès.
External links
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or reference. Their operators control their content, availability and privacy practices. A link does not by itself constitute endorsement. You access third-party websites at your own risk. Marcès accepts no responsibility for their content, security, availability or privacy practices.
Accuracy, availability and liability
We take reasonable care in preparing the Website, but do not warrant that all information is complete, current or free of error, or that access will be uninterrupted. We may update, restrict or discontinue Website content.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Marcès excludes liability for loss or damage arising from use of, inability to access, or reliance on the Website, including loss of data, profit, business or opportunity. This exclusion does not apply to intent or gross negligence, or to any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Liability for an advisory engagement is addressed in the separate engagement agreement.
Privacy

Applicable law and updates
These Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy are governed by Swiss law. Subject to mandatory applicable law, the competent courts of Zurich, Switzerland, have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising out of or in connection with those terms and policies, the Website or its use.
We may revise these Terms prospectively. These Terms are issued in English. Translations are provided for convenience only. In the event of inconsistency, the English version prevails. The current version is published on this page. A failure or delay to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive that provision or any other right. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent permitted by law. Questions may be directed to the contact details in the Imprint.
