The essentials in brief
- Wohnera is currently free. Your dossier is built on your device, and your documents stay there. The few exceptions are listed in the privacy policy.
- You check every filled field before you sign or hand anything in. What you hand in is your own responsibility.
- Wohnera promises no viewing, no flat and no acceptance. Nor does it promise a form filled without errors, even if you have paid for it.
- Wohnera is liable only for damage that Wohnera itself caused intentionally or by gross negligence. Wohnera is not liable for auxiliary persons such as hosting or payment services, to the extent permitted by law (section 7).
- Swiss law applies. If the German and the English versions differ, the German one prevails.
1. Provider and scope
1.1 Wohnera is operated by Catalin-Constantin Mares, Huebstrasse 35, 8317 Tagelswangen, Switzerland, contact@wohnera.ch («Wohnera», «we»).
1.2 These terms apply to every use of the website wohnera.ch, the installable app and all features on them (the «Services»), by every person who uses them («you»). There is no account.
1.3 The privacy policy describes which data we process and why. It is not part of these terms.
1.4 You accept these terms by using the Services. Before Wohnera fills in a property manager’s form for you for the first time, you confirm them expressly.
1.5 Minors use the Services with the consent of their legal representative.
2. What Wohnera offers
2.1 Dossier builder: you enter your details and attach your documents. Wohnera assembles them on your device into an application dossier as a PDF.
2.2 Documents checklist: Wohnera shows which documents property managers usually ask for, and warns you when a document, such as the debt-enforcement extract (Betreibungsauszug), may become too old. Each property manager may ask for something different; the information is a guide.
2.3 Guides and sample dossier: general information as of the date it was published. It is not legal, tax or insurance advice. The sample dossier contains invented people.
2.4 Listing link and address search: if you paste a link to a listing, our server reads details such as the address and the rent from it. When you type an address, swisstopo’s address search suggests addresses. Wohnera does not check the accuracy of these details.
2.5 A property manager’s form (form preview): you upload a property manager’s blank application form. Our server prepares it; it is filled in on your device with the details from your dossier. There you check it in full before you download it or add it to your dossier. You can also complete and sign it there. The form preview is part of Wohnera Plus and is currently free.
2.6 Report a problem: you can report that a form was filled in wrongly. What is sent in that case is stated in the privacy policy.
3. What Wohnera is not
3.1 Wohnera is a tool for people looking for a flat. Wohnera is not a party to your tenancy, does not represent any property manager or landlord, and does not broker flats.
3.2 Wohnera hands nothing in for you. You decide whether, when and to whom you pass on your dossier or a form.
3.3 Wohnera does not give legal, tax, financial or insurance advice.
3.4 Whether you are invited to a viewing, get a flat or are accepted is decided by property managers and landlords alone. Wohnera promises none of it.
3.5 Wohnera is meant to speed up putting your application together: you enter your details once, and Wohnera transfers them into your dossier and into property managers’ forms. A dossier or a form that Wohnera creates or fills in automatically can contain errors, even when you have paid for the feature. Wohnera does not promise an error-free result; what counts is what you have checked and handed in (section 4.1).
3.6 If Wohnera shows an offer from a third party, such as an insurer or a moving service, it is marked as such. If the third party pays Wohnera for it, this is stated with the offer. Any contract is concluded only between you and the third party, on its terms.
4. Your duties
4.1 Check before you hand in. An automatically filled form can contain errors: a wrong or empty field, a box ticked wrongly, a detail in the wrong place. You check every field and every page before you sign or pass anything on. By signing or passing it on, you adopt its content as your own. The same applies to your dossier PDF.
4.2 True and complete details. You enter only true details and genuine, unaltered documents. You may not use Wohnera to create or pass on forged or altered documents.
4.3 Details about other people. If you enter details about other people, such as co-applicants, children or references, you first obtain their consent where it is required.
4.4 Uploaded forms. You upload only forms you may use for your application, for example because the property manager gave them to you or published them. If you confirm that a printed or scanned form is blank, it must be blank.
4.5 Your device. Your dossier exists only in your browser. You are responsible for the security of your device, for backups and for whom you give the PDF to. If you clear your browser data or lose a device, Wohnera cannot restore anything, because we never receive your dossier.
4.6 Permitted use. You use the Services only for applications you are part of or help with privately. In particular, the following are prohibited: automated queries of the form and link services, attacks on the Services, circumventing protective measures and uploading harmful files. Search engines and other crawlers may read public pages within the limits of robots.txt.
4.7 If you breach these duties intentionally or by gross negligence and a third party makes a claim against Wohnera as a result, you compensate Wohnera for the resulting damage.
5. Rights
5.1 The software, the texts, the design and the «Wohnera» trademark belong to Wohnera or its licensors. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services within the limits of section 4.6.
5.2 The details and documents in your dossier remain yours. Wohnera acquires no rights in them; your dossier is not sent to our server.
5.3 By uploading a blank form, you allow Wohnera, to the extent you are entitled to, to process and keep it as described in the privacy policy. Wohnera uses it only to fill in forms and to check and improve how fields are matched. Wohnera does not sell it and passes it on neither to third parties nor to a third party’s AI service. Property managers can ask for their forms to be removed.
6. Availability and changes to the Services
6.1 The Services are currently free and are offered as they are. Wohnera aims for reliable operation but does not promise any particular availability, freedom from errors or fitness for a particular purpose.
6.2 Wohnera may change, restrict or discontinue features at any time, in particular when a form cannot be filled in reliably or the Services are misused.
6.3 The form preview and other features of Wohnera Plus may become paid in the future. Wohnera will then sell them as a pass with a fixed term, which ends by itself and does not renew. You see the price as a final price in Swiss francs before you order. The conditions shown when you order apply as well. Sections 3.5 and 4.1 also apply to paid features: you pay for the time you save, and you still check every field yourself. A PDF you have already created remains yours.
7. Liability
7.1 To the extent permitted by law, Wohnera is liable only for damage that Wohnera caused intentionally or by gross negligence. Liability for slight and medium negligence is excluded.
7.2 Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, Wohnera is in particular not liable for:
- fields filled in wrongly, incompletely or in the wrong place that you could have checked before handing them in (section 4.1);
- the rejection of an application, a flat you did not get, a higher rent elsewhere, moving, accommodation or storage costs;
- the loss of data on your device;
- interruptions, faults or the discontinuation of the Services;
- details from listings, address suggestions from swisstopo, the content of the guides and the checklist, where they are no longer current or not tailored to your case;
- damage caused by malware on your device.
7.3 Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, Wohnera is not liable for indirect damage, consequential damage and lost profit.
7.4 Wohnera is not liable for auxiliary persons, in particular the providers of hosting, backups, address search, e-mail delivery and payment, to the extent permitted by law.
8. Changes to these terms
8.1 Wohnera may change these terms. The new version is published on wohnera.ch and applies to every use from that moment. Before you next use the form preview, you confirm the new version. Earlier versions remain available on wohnera.ch with their date.
8.2 If you do not agree with a change, stop using the Services. Your dossier stays on your device.
9. Final provisions
9.1 These terms exist in German and in English. If the versions differ, the German version prevails.
9.2 If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid.
9.3 Swiss law applies, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions, including those of the country where you live, remain reserved.
9.4 The place of jurisdiction is the provider’s place of residence. As a consumer, you may also sue at your place of residence, and claims against you are brought there.
9.5 Questions about these terms: contact@wohnera.ch.
