Re: How to freelance in CH?

Quote:
You got to be kidding about not being allowed to have an exact matching web address! I know lot (ok some) of self-employed people who have it matching. Could you give me more info? Links or something like that I have both .ch and .com registered already.

So you are saying that if my comapany is called BOB MARLEY then I cannot have www.BOBMARLEY.com OR www.BOBMARLEY.ch?

What about Bobdesign.com? Or does it still need to have the surname thing going on? Marley.com, Marleydesign.com.

AbFab is living proof atleast that you can have it OR maybe get away with it. Don't want to get burnt twice though
Now I have to be totally honest here. I read this with respect to the domain name thing a while, say 6 months, ago somewhere, and I could not believe it therefore I reread it checked it verified it asked a few lawyers and in the end believed it. Now you want me to go and find again where I read it. Okay give me a while though... The name of your website can be anything you want and must not have any part of your name in it. However, and be aware of this your AGB's must reference your trading name. Furthermore, to be legally valid they must pop-up in a window that forces you to acknowledge having read them every time you make a transaction for them to be valid ie legally enforceable.
