⚡TL;DR
- The vast majority of contracts under Swiss law can be concluded using a standard digital signature solution (such as AdobeSign or DocuSign). Notable exceptions in practice are the assignment of company shares and certain clauses of the employment agreement.
- While you can contractually limit your liability, your liability clause must always explicitly state that the liability remains unlimited at least for wilful or grossly negligent breach of the agreement or the law and for bodily harm.
- Contracts can be amended if both parties agree - be clear on what is amended and what stays applicable.
- Take the time to always check the applicable law clause in your contract.
