ThermSwiss AG Imprint supplementary legal information and general terms. This section provides additional context regarding ground energy systems, installation conditions, safety standards, environmental compliance, warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, and data protection policies.
The following clauses form an integral part of the contractual framework between ThermSwiss AG and its clients, subcontractors, partners, and third-party entities involved in subsurface energy services.
All operations comply with cantonal regulations, SIA standards, and the Swiss Federal Act on the Protection of the Environment (EPA). Field operations require geological surveys, permit approvals, and compliance with groundwater protection zones.
ThermSwiss AG provides HDPE probe systems, double-U pipe configurations, coaxial solutions, pressure testing, and thermal response analysis (TRT) to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability.
Installation includes grouting with thermally enhanced bentonite-cement mixtures to prevent aquifer contamination and optimize underground heat transfer performance.
Any deviation from the approved installation plan must receive written approval from ThermSwiss AG technical supervision.
Clients are responsible for securing land access rights, identifying underground utilities, and providing adequate workspace for drilling equipment and material storage.
ThermSwiss AG may suspend operations if unexpected geological conditions, including karst formations, artesian aquifers, or bedrock fractures, create safety risks.
Additional costs caused by difficult subsurface conditions, casing extensions, stabilization fluids, or re-drilling are invoiced based on documented actual effort.
All probe systems undergo a 24-hour pressure test at a minimum of 1.5 times operating pressure before backfilling. Test records are archived for at least ten years.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and leakages caused by material fatigue within 24 months after commissioning, provided certified annual maintenance is performed.
Warranty exclusions include corrosive groundwater, lightning strikes, frost heave, third-party excavations, and force majeure events.
ThermSwiss AG maintains liability insurance coverage for bodily injury and property damage up to CHF 10 million per event.
Clients must provide a valid building permit before works begin. Failure to do so voids any performance guarantees.
In case of disputes, jurisdiction lies with the competent court at the registered seat of ThermSwiss AG in Walterswil, Switzerland, under substantive Swiss law.
The field team prepares daily progress reports including drilling depth, geological changes, fluid usage, and incident documentation.
Upon project completion, clients receive an as-built documentation package containing depth logs, pressure test certificates, grouting records, and commissioning protocols.
Energy systems should be integrated with heat pumps certified under the Swiss MINERGIE standard or equivalent efficiency certifications.
ThermSwiss AG also offers remote monitoring solutions and predictive maintenance alerts to improve system uptime.
Personal data collected during inquiries, contracts, or site visits is processed exclusively for project execution, billing, and statutory reporting requirements.
Users may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data by contacting the ThermSwiss AG data protection officer.
Website cookies are limited to essential session cookies unless explicit user consent is provided.
These terms incorporate relevant provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) regarding work contracts and acceptance procedures.
Equipment supplied by ThermSwiss AG remains company property until all outstanding invoices have been paid in full.
Late payments are subject to interest charges and administrative reminder fees.
For projects exceeding 500 meters of borehole depth, additional machinery deployment charges may apply.
Sustainable practices include recycling drill cuttings, using biodegradable lubricants, and reducing nighttime noise emissions.
ThermSwiss AG participates in the “Geothermie Schweiz” quality seal program, promoting transparency, ethical conduct, and advanced technical training.
Any modifications to standard contractual terms require written approval from both parties.

Disputes regarding subsurface energy systems, borehole heat exchangers, or energy piles may be resolved through arbitration in Zurich.
ThermSwiss AG rejects liability for third-party links included in electronic communications.
The company holds ISO 9001:2024 certification for quality management and ISO 14001:2024 certification for environmental management.
Compliance audits are conducted annually by the Swiss Quality Testing Association.
Confidential whistleblower reports regarding compliance violations may be submitted through the designated ethics channel.
If any provision of these conditions becomes unenforceable, all remaining provisions remain fully valid and effective.
The official language for contractual documents and dispute resolution is German, while English translations are provided for convenience only.
