1. The service

Times of Switzerland is an English-language news website covering Swiss politics, law, markets, energy, climate, weather and world affairs. Access to the site is currently free.

2. Accuracy and corrections

We work hard to be accurate. When we get something wrong, we correct it under our corrections policy. News develops quickly; articles are timestamped and updated as facts change.

3. Market data and weather

Market quotes and charts on this site are indicative, may be delayed, and are provided for general information only. Nothing on this site is investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing is an offer or recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Weather forecasts are automatically generated from third-party models; always follow official MeteoSwiss warnings in severe weather.

4. Intellectual property

All content on this site, including text, design, the Times of Switzerland name and logo, is owned by or licensed to Times of Switzerland AG. You may share links and quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link. Reproduction of full articles requires written permission.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site: no scraping at abusive rates, no attempts to disrupt the service, no unlawful use of our forms, and no submitting content that is defamatory or infringes the rights of others.

6. Third-party services

Pages fetch market and weather data from third-party public APIs and load fonts from Google Fonts. We are not responsible for the availability or content of third-party services, and their own terms and privacy policies apply to those connections.

7. Liability

The site is provided as is. To the extent permitted by Swiss law, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the site, including decisions made on the basis of market data shown here.

8. Privacy

How we handle your data is described in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

9. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict of law rules. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich, Switzerland, subject to mandatory consumer rights.

10. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows the current version. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
