Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These Terms and Conditions govern the contractual relationship between LuxPropScout and clients of our luxury property selection services in Switzerland. They apply to all offered property services and supplementary provisions. By engaging our services or scheduling a property viewing, you agree to these conditions.

2. Service Engagement and Contract Formation

Engaging our property selection services can be done in person at our office, by telephone, email, or through our website. The contract is established upon confirmation by LuxPropScout. For property viewings and specialized services, prior scheduling is required as we limit client numbers to ensure optimal service quality. The right to service engagement exists only after receipt of a confirmation and payment processing, where applicable.

3. Service Description

Our services include luxury property selection, property viewings, consultation sessions, and complementary offerings such as personalized property search strategies and exclusive property access. The type, scope, and duration of each service are defined in the current service description or the respective engagement contract. LuxPropScout reserves the right to modify service offerings, schedules, and personnel when necessary for organizational or property-related reasons. If a property specialist is unavailable, we will provide a qualified substitute or offer an alternative viewing where possible.

4. Payment Terms

Service fees are payable in advance unless alternative payment terms have been agreed upon. For comprehensive property packages, installment payments may be arranged. Payment is processed via bank transfer or, in special cases, directly at our office. Prices for specialized services or custom property search strategies are indicated separately and due by the specified date. In case of payment default, we reserve the right to exclude the client from further service engagement or to charge interest according to legal provisions.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

  • Cancellation by Client:
    • Individual Property Viewings: Cancellation up to 48 hours before the viewing is free of charge
    • Multi-Property Tours: Up to 7 days before commencement, 80% refund; after that, 50% refund
    • Comprehensive Service Packages: Individual cancellation terms as specified in the service contract
  • Cancellation by LuxPropScout:
    • If a service must be cancelled due to property unavailability or other significant reasons, payments already made will be fully refunded or an alternative viewing will be offered.

6. Return Policy

At LuxPropScout, we are committed to client satisfaction and excellence in property selection services. If you are not satisfied with our services, please notify us within 14 days of service completion. We will work with you to resolve any concerns and ensure your property objectives are met. Returns are handled on a case-by-case basis according to the following principles:

  • For viewing-based services: Returns will be considered for the portion of viewings where demonstrable issues with service quality occurred.
  • For package-based services: Partial returns may be issued proportionate to the incomplete or unsatisfactory portion of the service package.
  • For ongoing search arrangements: Unused prepaid amounts are always returned upon termination of services.
  • No returns will be issued for completed services that met the agreed-upon scope and professional objectives, even if the property selection outcomes differed from client expectations.

All return requests must be submitted in writing to info@luxpropscout.com with detailed explanation of the concerns and specific service elements that did not meet expectations. Each request will be reviewed within 7 business days, and we commit to fair resolution that supports both client satisfaction and service integrity.

7. Viewing Times and Participation

Current viewing times are available on our website and in service descriptions. We request punctual attendance. Late arrivals exceeding 15 minutes may result in denied access to ongoing viewings out of consideration for property owners and to maintain service quality. Missed viewings or services cannot be made up or refunded unless expressly agreed upon or individually arranged in special circumstances.

8. Confidentiality and Liability

Engagement of our property selection services is at your own responsibility. All personal information and property details shared during our consultations are subject to strict confidentiality. LuxPropScout commits to maintaining the highest confidentiality standards and expects the same from all clients. We request that existing property requirements or special circumstances be disclosed before service commencement. LuxPropScout is not liable for self-inflicted inconveniences or indirect consequences of service engagement.

9. Use of Properties and Materials

Properties and facilities must be treated with utmost care during viewings. Property information and materials are provided for the services and included in the service fee unless otherwise indicated. LuxPropScout assumes no liability for personal belongings and valuables. The properties and viewing areas should be left in their original condition.
