Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2026 · The service is a paid offering in beta.
This is a convenience translation. The German version (AGB) is the legally binding text.
1. Scope and acceptance
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the use of the “TV Horst” digital signage platform (the “Service”), operated by aplis AG, Rümlang ZH (the “Provider”). By registering an account, taking out a subscription or using the Service, the user accepts these Terms. The Service is intended for businesses, not consumers. Enterprise offerings are governed by individually negotiated contracts, whose provisions prevail over these Terms where they differ.
2. Beta status
The Service is in a beta phase and is under continuous development. Features may change, be added or be removed. The beta status does not release the user from the agreed payment obligations; conversely, payment does not create any entitlement beyond these Terms. If the Service is permanently discontinued during a prepaid period, the Provider refunds the unused portion on a pro-rata basis (see section 8).
3. Services
The Service lets you manage and play content on screens. During the beta phase, the Provider does not owe any particular level of availability (no service-level agreement) and no support within a defined response time. The Provider strives for stable and uninterrupted operation.
4. Free trial
On registration, a one-time free trial of 30 days is granted. It requires no credit card and is limited to two screens. After the trial ends, the account and any uploaded content remain in place; screens can only be used again once a paid subscription is taken out. There is no entitlement to a further or extended trial, and an account that has already had a subscription cannot fall back into the trial.
5. Prices and payment
The prices published on the website at the time of the order apply. Prices are in Swiss francs (CHF) and exclusive of any value-added tax. The Provider is currently not liable for VAT; for as long as that is the case, no value-added tax is charged. Once the Provider becomes liable for VAT, value-added tax will be shown and charged in addition to the published prices, and users will be informed in advance. Billing is per screen and, depending on the chosen billing cycle, monthly or yearly. Payments are processed by our payment provider Stripe; by taking out a subscription, the user consents to the necessary transfer of data to Stripe (see Privacy policy).
6. Billing, renewal and cancellation
The subscription is invoiced in advance at the start of each billing cycle and renews automatically for the same period unless cancelled beforehand. The user may cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing cycle; the Service remains available until then. Price changes are announced in advance and apply from the next billing cycle.
7. Late payment and suspension
If a due payment is not made, the Provider may, after an unsuccessful payment attempt, suspend access to the Service and the playback of content on the affected screens until the outstanding amounts are settled. Content already playing may stop as a result.
8. Refunds
Amounts already paid are generally non-refundable, in particular on cancellation before the end of a prepaid period. If the Provider permanently discontinues the Service during a prepaid period, the unused portion is refunded on a pro-rata basis.
9. User obligations
Users may only upload and display content for which they hold the necessary rights and which does not infringe applicable law or the rights of third parties. Responsibility for the content displayed lies entirely with the user. Access credentials must be kept confidential.
10. Content and removal
The Provider does not monitor content uploaded by users. However, if the Provider becomes aware of content that breaches section 9, applicable law or the rights of third parties, it may block or remove that content and suspend the affected playback. In the event of serious or repeated breaches, the Provider may suspend the account and terminate the contract for cause. The Provider informs the user of any such measure to the extent legally permitted and practically possible.
11. Warranty and liability
The Service is provided with due care, but without any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, the Provider’s liability for damages (in particular for data loss, business interruptions, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages) is limited to the amounts paid for the Service in the preceding twelve months. Liability for intent and gross negligence remains reserved.
12. Data backup
Users are responsible for backing up their own content. During the beta phase, the Provider gives no guarantee for the recovery of data.
13. Availability and changes
The Provider may further develop the Service and change or limit individual features. A permanent discontinuation of the Service will be announced to the user with reasonable notice; prepaid, unused amounts are refunded on a pro-rata basis (see section 8). These Terms may be amended; the version published on the website at the relevant time applies. Material changes are announced in advance.
14. Governing law and jurisdiction
Swiss law applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is, to the extent permitted by law, the Provider’s registered seat.
