I'm helping a friend in the Romandie update their website and I noticed that the site doesn't include an Impressum, and from recent work I thought that it was required if one was operating a business in a German-speaking country.

Does anyone know if this is also required in the Romandie, or does it fall under Terms & Conditions?

Thanks in advance for the help.

  2. Ici, une explication de tes obligations :

    [https://www.hostpoint.ch/fr/blog/mentions-legales-obligatoires-pour-site-web/](https://www.hostpoint.ch/fr/blog/mentions-legales-obligatoires-pour-site-web/)

    La loi (suisse) exige que les mentions légales contiennent des informations claires et complètes sur l’identité et l’adresse de contact, y compris l’adresse e-mail.

    Exemple :

    `Exemple SARL`
    `1 rue Exemple`
    `8009 Ville exemple`
    `E-mail:` [`info@exemplesarl.ch`](mailto:info@exemplesarl.ch)

  3. It’s only required if you “offer goods, works or services online”. The German legal text also explicitly refers to it applying only to business transactions: “Waren, Werke oder Leistungen im elektronischen **Geschäftsverkehr** anbietet”.

    So for just a private or club homepage or potentially also a free forum without any commercial interest, an “Impressum” is legally not required.
