  • The General Terms and Conditions apply in the version in force on the date of the transfer of the donation.
  • The general terms and conditions of the association shall apply at all times and exclusively. The donor expressly accepts these general terms and conditions by transferring the donation or membership fee. Donation conditions that are contrary to or deviate from these general terms and conditions of the association are not recognised, unless the association has expressly and individually agreed to them in writing.
  • The association reserves the right to modify these general conditions at any time.
  1. Purpose and conclusion of the contract
  • There are two ways to make a donation/contribution:
  • In the form of a one-off donation to the association in the amount selected or entered by the donor in the input mask, which is recognised as a tax-deductible donation by the Swiss cantonal tax authorities.
  • In the form of a non-taxable annual fee, which provides the donor with the services defined on the website www.charliechaplinmuseumfoundation.com. The membership fee is automatically renewed from year to year and can be terminated at any time until the annual fee is sent.
  • The contract for the donation/contribution is made by transferring it.
  1. Use of donations
  • The association is in principle entitled to use the donation freely within the framework of the association’s purpose (non-earmarked donations). There are no other conditions or limitations attached to non-earmarked donations. The donation does not confer any right to support certain projects or other claims of the donor.
  • The association is entitled to proceed with earmarked donations in the same way as with non-earmarked donations if there are important and objectively justified reasons for doing so. Examples of such reasons are the discontinuation of projects or programmes or errors in the communication of the purpose of the donation.

    • Credit cards: Mastercard, VISA

  1. Taxes and fees
  • In accordance with current Swiss tax legislation, donations to the association are tax deductible under certain conditions. However, the association does not guarantee the deductibility of donations. A possible absence of deductibility does not give the right to cancel donations that have been made.
  • For donations of CHF 20 or more, the donor receives a donation certificate from the association in January of the following year.
  • If, contrary to expectations, the donation gives rise to taxes or royalties payable by the donor, these taxes and royalties are payable by the donor.
