These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") govern the use of the platform and website (together, the "Platform") operated by PORT Real Estate Development AG, Lucerne (CHE-269.769.643) (hereinafter "PORT", the "Provider", or individually a "Party" and together with the User the "Parties"). By accessing or using the Platform, end users ("Users") agree to these GTC. For simplicity, gender-neutral multi-form designations are not used in these GTC. All personal designations apply to all genders.

PORT is entitled to adjust or update the Platform, its content and functions, and these GTC at any time. By each use, Users declare that they have reviewed the GTC then in force and accept them in full.

1. Subject of the Platform

The Provider makes available a web-based software and information platform that enables the analysis, visualisation and evaluation of land and parcel data in Switzerland. The Platform covers in particular the presentation of building usage possibilities, density and exploitation potential as well as relevant planning, legal and structural conditions which may be relevant for the analysis, planning and development of real estate projects.

The purpose of the Platform is to support Users in the analysis, planning, development, advice and preparation of marketing of real estate projects, in particular in connection with the acquisition, modernisation, extension, management or sale of land and real estate. The Platform serves exclusively as information and decision support and does not constitute legally binding planning, technical or legal advice.

The end user is entitled to use the Platform exclusively for their own internal information, analysis and planning purposes, in particular for the preparation of project decisions, the evaluation of development potential or to contact the Provider for further services. Any further use, in particular passing on to third parties, commercial exploitation, automated data collection, reproduction or integration into third-party software, is prohibited without the Provider's prior express written consent.

The User acknowledges that:
