Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of the HiveLever platform (the "Platform", "we", "us"). By registering and using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Provider and scope

The Platform is operated by HiveLever. Contact: legal@hivelever.com. These Terms apply to all users (members of a "Hive") as well as to participating third-party suppliers, merchants and service providers (collectively, "Third-Party Providers").

2. Platform services

HiveLever operates a community platform on which users form permanent communities of interest ("Hives"). In recurring "Buying Rounds", the Platform negotiates bundled offers with Third-Party Providers on behalf of Hive members.

HiveLever is neither a seller nor a broker of any specific purchase contract. Any contract for the product or service is concluded exclusively between the user and the Third-Party Provider. Quality, delivery, warranty and performance are the sole responsibility of the Third-Party Provider.

3. Registration and user account

  • Registration is limited to natural persons aged 18 or older.
  • You must provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information.
  • Credentials are confidential. Report any misuse to us immediately.
  • Only one account per person is permitted.

4. Personal data we collect and store

To operate the Platform, we collect and store the following personal data:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Mobile phone number
  • Home address (street, postal code, city, country)
  • Information about your interests and participation in Hives / Buying Rounds

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and the Swiss Data Protection Act (FADP). Without this data, the Platform cannot provide its core function of aggregating demand and negotiating with Third-Party Providers.

5. Sharing personal data with Third-Party Providers

This is the central data-protection clause of these Terms.

As long as you are only registered, maintain a profile or observe Hives, no personal data is shared with Third-Party Providers. In this phase, Third-Party Providers receive only anonymised, aggregated metrics (e.g. number of interested users, region, desired features) that do not allow identification of individual persons.

Personal data (first name, last name, email address, mobile phone number, home address) is transmitted to the relevant Third-Party Provider only if and when you actively join a specific Buying Round of a Hive and thereby declare your willingness to enter into the negotiated deal with that Third-Party Provider. Such transmission serves the sole common purpose of preparing and executing the contract with the Third-Party Provider (e.g. offer preparation, contract documents, delivery, invoicing, statutory record-keeping).

By joining a Buying Round, you expressly consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / Art. 31 FADP to the transmission of the aforementioned data to the respective Third-Party Provider. You may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future; however, withdrawal may make it impossible to complete a deal you have already entered into.

Third-Party Providers are contractually obligated to use the transmitted data exclusively for the specific deal and are prohibited from using it for advertising, profiling or onward transfer.

6. Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account exists and thereafter only to the extent required by statutory retention obligations (e.g. up to 10 years for accounting records). Data no longer required is deleted or anonymised.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Requests can be sent to privacy@hivelever.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.

8. Hive and Buying Round participation

  • A Hive is a permanent community; membership is non-binding.
  • Joining a Buying Round is voluntary but expresses binding interest in a specific deal.
  • Acceptance of a final offer is legally binding vis-à-vis the Third-Party Provider unless stated otherwise.
  • HiveLever may cancel Buying Rounds if no viable offer materialises.

9. User obligations

  • No false information, multiple accounts, or automated use (scraping, bots).
  • No circumvention of the Platform (e.g. contacting Third-Party Providers directly to use negotiated conditions off-Platform).
  • No unlawful, offensive or discriminatory content.
  • Respectful behaviour in community areas.

10. Fees

Use of the Platform is generally free for users. HiveLever is funded through commissions paid by Third-Party Providers. Vouchers or rewards (e.g. referral vouchers) are granted subject to the applicable promotion terms and do not constitute an enforceable claim.

11. Intellectual property

All rights in the Platform, its software, trademarks, logos and content belong to HiveLever or the respective rights-holders. Any use beyond the intended purpose requires our prior written consent.

12. Liability

HiveLever is liable only for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. For slight negligence, HiveLever is liable only in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the damage typically foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion. HiveLever assumes no liability for the performance of Third-Party Providers (product, service, delivery, warranty). Mandatory statutory liability (e.g. product liability, personal injury) remains unaffected.

13. Availability

We aim to provide the Platform with high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, disruptions or force majeure may cause temporary limitations.

14. Termination

You may delete your account at any time without giving reasons. Ongoing obligations from deals already accepted with Third-Party Providers remain unaffected. We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts in the event of serious or repeated breaches of these Terms.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms. We will notify you of material changes in good time by email or via a notice on the Platform. If you do not object within 30 days, the changes are deemed accepted.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

Swiss law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To the extent legally permissible, the courts at HiveLever's registered seat have exclusive jurisdiction. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the user's country of habitual residence remain unaffected.

17. Severability

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a rule that comes closest to its economic purpose.
