Terms and Conditions

1. Scope and contracting parties

TEXFY is operated by ARTIO Mining GmbH, Chapfstrasse 58, 8625 Gossau ZH (“we”). The contracting party is the company for which a TEXFY account is used (“the customer”).

TEXFY is intended for companies and self-employed persons in Switzerland who bid for public contracts. Only these terms apply; deviating terms of the customer apply only if we accept them in writing.

The customer accepts these terms when signing in and setting up its company and, for Pro, again when taking out the subscription. We record which version of the terms it accepted and when.

2. Services

TEXFY collects public tenders and building applications from official sources, mainly simap.ch, TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) and the cantonal official gazettes (amtsblattportal.ch), prepares them, shows matching results and helps to plan and track bids.

What the Free and Pro plans include is shown on the start page under “Pricing” and in the profile under “Subscription”.

TEXFY is neither an official publication platform nor a contracting authority. The original publication always prevails. The customer submits bids to the contracting authority, not to TEXFY.

Content that TEXFY creates with AI is marked as such: the summary of a tender (with Pro, also during the trial) and the machine translation of its texts, as well as the answers to questions about uploaded documents (with Pro). It may contain errors or leave something out. The customer checks it against the original publication and the documents before relying on it; these always prevail.

We continuously develop TEXFY and may change, add or discontinue functions. During a paid period, the essential scope of Pro is maintained.

3. Account and team

Sign-in uses the e-mail address with a sign-in link, a password or a passkey. The customer protects access to the registered mailboxes, passwords and devices and does not hand accounts over to third parties.

The owner of a company in TEXFY acts for the customer: they take out Pro and manage the subscription. The owner invites further people of the customer; owners and admins manage the team. With Free one person uses the company, the owner; with Pro the number of members is not limited, and each costs the price under section 4. The customer is responsible for the use by its members.

The details in the profile must be accurate. We may block accounts that are used abusively.

4. Prices and payment

Free is free of charge. Pro costs CHF 49.90 per person per month. Prices are final prices in Swiss francs.

Every member of the company is charged, the owner included, once they have accepted an invitation; open invitations do not count. When someone joins or leaves, we adjust the number of people in the subscription, and Stripe charges or credits the difference pro rata for the current period. Without Pro only the owner has access to the company; the other members stay stored.

For companies that had more than one member before 27.10.2026, these existing members do not count until 27.01.2027.

New companies use Pro on trial for 30 days, without payment details and without a subscription. Afterwards Free applies automatically unless the customer takes out Pro.

If the customer takes out Pro during the trial, the remaining days stay free: the first payment follows at the end of the trial; if the customer cancels before then, nothing is paid. With less than 48 hours left, payment starts when the subscription is taken out.

The owner takes out Pro in the profile with “Upgrade to Pro”. Payment is processed by Stripe; the customer enters the payment details directly with Stripe. The contract for Pro is concluded when the checkout at Stripe is completed successfully.

Pro is charged monthly in advance and renews for one month at a time until it is cancelled. Invoices and receipts are available under “Manage subscription”.

If a payment fails, Stripe retries it and Pro remains active for 14 days from the first failure. Afterwards Free applies until the payment succeeds. If payment is not made, the subscription may end.

We may change prices with effect from the start of a new period. We notify the owner of an increase by e-mail at least 30 days in advance; they may cancel Pro until then.

5. Term and cancellation

Free runs for an indefinite period. Every person can delete their account in the profile; the company is deleted with the account of its last member, with all its data. Whatever the customer wants to keep is downloaded first. The owner of a company with further members transfers the role first.

The owner can cancel Pro at any time under “Manage subscription” with effect from the end of the current period. Until then Pro applies, afterwards Free. The cancellation can be withdrawn until the end of the period. Periods already paid are not refunded pro rata.

While a Pro subscription is running, even a cancelled one until the end of the period, the company cannot be deleted; the owner cancels the subscription first. If the company is to be deleted sooner, the owner writes to info@texfy.ch; we then end the subscription early. Periods already paid are not refunded pro rata.

We may terminate the contract with 30 days' notice to the end of a period and then refund what has already been paid for the time after it. For good cause, such as abuse or a breach of section 6, we may block access immediately and terminate the contract without notice.

6. Use of the content

The customer may use the content of TEXFY for its own business, that is to find and assess tenders and building applications and to prepare bids.

It is not permitted to retrieve content automatically (for example with scrapers or scripts), to pass it on in bulk, sell it or make it publicly available, to use TEXFY for a competing offering or to let people outside the customer's own company use its access.

For building applications from the cantonal official gazettes, the SECO terms for the Amtsblattportal and any conditions of the publishers (cantons and municipalities) also apply. Anyone who reuses such content names the respective official gazette as the source and states that it is not an official publication. The customer may process personal data from these notices only within the Data Protection Act, as a rule not beyond the publication period.

For tenders and awards from simap.ch, the conditions of the simap.ch association for the use of the platform and its interface (www.simap.ch) also apply. If the customer passes such content on, it reproduces it without changing its content, keeps it clearly apart from its own comments and additions and marks summaries and translations from TEXFY as such, adds the notice required by simap.ch “Dies ist keine amtliche Veröffentlichung. Massgebend sind die auf der Plattform www.simap.ch veröffentlichten Daten.” (this is not an official publication; only the data published on the platform www.simap.ch is authoritative) and does not give the impression that it is an official publication. It complies with restrictions on reuse stated in tender documents.

The customer gives access to this content only to people of its company who know these conditions and reports any misuse it learns of to info@texfy.ch. If the simap.ch association restricts or prohibits the use of its data, we may restrict or remove the affected content and functions without notice.

The software, design, analyses and texts of TEXFY remain ours. For the term of the contract the customer receives a simple, non-transferable right to use TEXFY.

Data that the customer enters in TEXFY (profile, notes, bids, uploaded documents) belongs to the customer. It can be downloaded at any time, the profile data as a file and documents one by one. We use it only to provide TEXFY.

7. Availability

We aim to run TEXFY with as few interruptions as possible but do not guarantee any particular availability. Maintenance and disruptions at service providers or sources can cause interruptions.

We take over new publications regularly, but not in real time. If a source is unreachable or changes its conditions, it may be missing temporarily or permanently.

We keep uploaded documents until the customer deletes them or the company is deleted. We also back them up; after an outage, whatever was added since the last backup may still be missing. We currently do not scan the files for viruses. The document storage is not an archive. The customer itself keeps the originals and everything it must keep by law. It uploads only files that it may upload and that, as far as it can tell, are free of malware.

8. Warranty and liability

The content comes from public sources. We give no warranty for its completeness, accuracy or timeliness. Results, matching, analyses, deadlines and reminders are aids; the original publication and the documents of the contracting authority prevail. The customer checks deadlines itself.

We are liable for damage that we cause intentionally or through gross negligence. Any further liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law, in particular for slight negligence, for auxiliary persons, for loss of profit, for missed tenders or deadlines and for indirect damage.

9. Data protection

How we process personal data is described in the privacy policy.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that the details it and its members enter in TEXFY, for example in notes and uploaded documents, are lawful. If it uploads CVs or other documents with personal data, it makes sure it may use them for this purpose.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. We notify owners of changes by e-mail at least 30 days before they take effect. If the customer continues to use TEXFY afterwards, they are deemed accepted. If the customer does not agree, it may cancel Pro with effect from that date and delete its account.

Earlier versions remain available on this page.

11. Final provisions

Swiss law applies. The place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the operator, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

If a provision is invalid, the others remain valid; it is replaced by a provision that comes closest to its purpose.

The German version of these terms prevails. We answer questions at info@texfy.ch.
