Section I — Website Use
1. Definitions
- “We”, “us”, “our” — Lorenz Hampl, operating under the trade name “Vishnu Media”, Wildbachstrasse, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland.
- “You”, “Client” — any visitor to this Site or party engaging Vishnu Media for Services.
- “Site” — vishnumedia.com and any related Vishnu Media web properties.
- “Services” — influencer marketing, campaign execution, talent management, and related professional services provided by Vishnu Media.
- “Deliverables” — any creator content, campaign materials, reports, or other outputs produced as part of an engagement.
2. Scope & application
These Terms govern (a) your use of this Site, and (b) service engagements with Vishnu Media where no separate signed agreement exists. Where a separate written engagement letter or contract is signed, that document governs; these Terms fill any gaps left silent by such a document.
3. Acceptance & changes
You accept these Terms by (i) continued use of this Site, (ii) submitting the contact form (which requires explicit T&C acceptance via a checkbox), or (iii) commencing services with Vishnu Media. Changes to these Terms are published on this page; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the changed Terms. Material changes will be visually flagged on this page for at least 30 days.
4. Permitted site use
You may not:
- Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract content from this Site
- Make automated requests beyond reasonable browsing
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any Site infrastructure
- Use the Site to defame, harass, or interfere with Vishnu Media’s business
5. Site intellectual property
All Site content — including copy, design, branding, visuals, and source code — is owned by Vishnu Media unless otherwise indicated, and is protected under Swiss copyright law (URG). Use of the Site does not grant you any rights to this content beyond personal viewing.
6. Contact form
Submission of the contact form does not create a service relationship. We aim to respond within 24 hours on weekdays but do not guarantee a response. Service engagements require separately confirmed scope and pricing.
Section II — Service Engagements
7. Engagement model
These Terms operate as a framework agreement. Specific deals (deliverables, timeline, fees, channels) are defined per engagement via written quote, statement of work, or email confirmation. Each deal incorporates these Terms by reference.
8. Deliverables & approval
Deliverables follow client briefing materials and are subject to client approval rounds as specified per deal. Approval signals acceptance of the deliverable; subsequent change requests may incur additional fees.
9. Payment terms
NET 14 from invoice date. Invoices are issued upon deliverable completion or per a milestone schedule agreed in writing per engagement. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal to the account specified in the invoice.
10. Late payment
Late payments accrue default interest at the Swiss statutory rate per OR Art. 104 from the day after the invoice due date. Vishnu Media reserves the right to suspend services on payment default after written notice and a 14-day cure period.
11. ⚠ Cancellation & expense allowance Acceptance-flagged
Client may cancel any deal in writing. If cancellation occurs after content drafts have been shared with the client for review, a 50% expense allowance is charged to recover paid-out creator costs and engagement work-in-progress. If cancellation occurs before drafts have been shared, no fee is charged. The trigger is the moment drafts are shared with the client; the fee is fixed at 50% of the deal value.
12. ⚠ Intellectual property in deliverables §12.2 acceptance-flagged
12.1 Site IP
Site content is owned by Vishnu Media (per §5).
12.2 Methodology & tooling
Methodology, processes, analytical frameworks, internal tools, and templates used by Vishnu Media to deliver Services remain the property of Vishnu Media regardless of any specific engagement.
12.3 Campaign deliverables
Ownership and usage rights of campaign Deliverables (creator content, campaign materials, reports) are governed by the specific engagement terms agreed in writing per deal. In the absence of specific terms, Deliverable ownership follows industry standard for the relevant type — for creator content, this means the content remains authored by the creator under the platform’s terms, and the client receives a non-exclusive usage right for the campaign purpose. Exclusivity, perpetual rights, or transfer of ownership require explicit written agreement per engagement.
12.4 Case studies
Vishnu Media may reference completed work in case studies and portfolio materials. Client identification (logos, brand names, campaign specifics) requires prior written client approval.
13. Confidentiality
Each party will protect the other’s confidential information with reasonable care and use it only for purposes of the engagement. Confidentiality survives termination of the engagement by 3 years.
14. ⚠ Liability cap Acceptance-flagged
Aggregate liability of Vishnu Media to Client for any claim arising out of or related to a specific engagement is limited to fees paid by Client for that specific engagement. No liability for indirect, consequential, or lost-profits damages. This cap does not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct (mandatory under Swiss law per OR Art. 100).
15. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, casualty, strike, public order, act of God, internet/platform outages, or sanctions.
16. Independent contractor
Vishnu Media is engaged as an independent contractor. No employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship is created. Each party is responsible for its own taxes and social charges.
17. Term & termination
Engagements operate on a deal-by-deal basis. Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach with 14-day written cure notice. Either party may terminate for convenience with 30-day written notice. Cancellation under §11 governs deal-level economics.
18. Performance disclaimers
Case-study figures presented on this Site are illustrative. Campaign performance depends on factors outside Vishnu Media’s control, including platform algorithms, creator delivery, and market conditions. No guaranteed performance metrics are made.
Section III — General Provisions
19. ⚠ Governing law & jurisdiction Acceptance-flagged
These Terms are governed by Swiss substantive law (OR / Code of Obligations and related statutes). Exclusive jurisdiction at the ordinary courts of Zurich, Switzerland. Consumer-mandatory protections are preserved where applicable (e.g., LDIP / IPRG Art. 120 for consumers domiciled in Switzerland).
20. General provisions
Severability: if any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Entire agreement: these Terms (together with any signed engagement letter) constitute the entire agreement between the parties on the subject matter. No waiver: failure to enforce a provision does not waive it. Notices: written notice may be given via the contact form or to the postal address in §1. (Per the project’s cross-page rule, the contact form is the only inbound channel from this Site; email contact details are disclosed only on the Privacy and Imprint pages where Swiss/EU law requires a direct channel.)
