The Non Reliance Letter Hold Harmless Letter is commonly used in Swiss business transactions where one party needs to protect itself from liability arising from information shared with another party. This document type is particularly relevant in due diligence processes, financial transactions, advisory services, and business partnerships where substantial information exchange occurs. Under Swiss law, specifically the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO), parties can limit their liability through such letters, though certain mandatory provisions cannot be excluded. The document typically includes specific disclaimers regarding the accuracy and completeness of provided information, statements about independent verification requirements, and hold harmless provisions protecting the information provider from future claims. It's essential in establishing clear expectations and legal boundaries in business relationships while maintaining compliance with Swiss legal requirements.
