Document background
The Discontinuing Service Letter is a crucial document used in the Swiss business environment when a service provider needs to formally terminate their service relationship with a client, or vice versa. It must comply with Swiss federal and cantonal laws, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) regarding service contracts and termination notices. This document is typically used when either party wishes to end an ongoing service arrangement, whether it's a regular service contract, professional mandate, or continuing service agreement. The letter must include specific elements required under Swiss law, such as clear identification of the service being terminated, explicit termination date, reference to contractual or legal basis for termination, and any final obligations or settlement terms. It serves as official documentation of the service termination and helps prevent future disputes by clearly outlining the termination process and requirements.
