Advonis AG, Hertistrasse 25, 8304 Wallisellen (company identification number CHE-279.415.069), provides the Advonis platform as software-as-a-service. The platform supports financial intermediaries and other businesses in meeting regulatory obligations, in particular verifications and screening against sanctions, PEP and criminal-record lists.
These Terms govern the use of the platform.
Where an individual agreement exists between you and Advonis - in particular a master agreement with annexes, including the data processing agreement - that agreement prevails over these Terms. These Terms then apply in addition, unless the individual agreement provides otherwise.
Where no individual agreement exists, these Terms apply on their own.
We operate the platform with reasonable care but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We announce maintenance windows in advance where possible. Any committed availability levels follow from the individual agreement, where agreed.
Our rights: All rights to the platform, including its software, models and design, remain with Advonis AG.
Your data: You remain the owner of the data you bring into the platform. We process that data solely in order to provide the service to you, and in accordance with your instructions under the data processing agreement.
We do not use it for our own purposes. In particular, we do not use your data, or the data of the persons and companies you verify, to train, improve or evaluate models, nor for the development of our own products. Any analysis aimed at improving the service is carried out exclusively on an aggregated basis without personal reference.
How personal data is processed is described in the Privacy Notice. For verification data you are the controller and Advonis is the processor; the details are governed by the data processing agreement and, vis-à-vis the verified individuals, by the Verification Privacy Notice.
Each party keeps the other party's confidential information confidential and uses it only to perform these Terms. Further provisions follow from the individual agreement.
The platform supports you in meeting your regulatory obligations and does not replace your own assessment. Responsibility for complying with those obligations and for the decision in the individual case remains with you.
The platform draws on third-party data sources, in particular register, sanctions, PEP, criminal-record and media sources. We select and connect these sources with professional care but do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or currency of their content. Further provisions follow from the individual agreement.
We provide our services with reasonable care. To the extent permitted by Swiss law, Advonis's liability is excluded for slight negligence; liability for willful misconduct and gross negligence remains unaffected (Art. 100 CO). Liability caps and liability for results derived from third-party sources follow from the individual agreement, where agreed.
Term, notice periods and the form of a termination follow from the individual agreement. A termination requires the form provided for there; a function within the product does not replace it.
Advonis may suspend access in the event of misuse or to avert a threat to operations. What happens to your data after the contract ends - in particular export windows and deletion - is governed by the individual agreement.
We may update these Terms. The version published on the website applies. Previous versions remain accessible. Changes to an individual agreement are governed by that agreement.
These Terms are governed by Swiss law. Exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich, Switzerland, subject to mandatory statutory jurisdictions and to any different provision in the individual agreement.
These Terms are published in several languages. The German version is the authoritative version; in case of discrepancies between the language versions, the German version prevails. Published languages: German, English, French, Italian.
