Our assessment of Switzerland
The legal analysis for Switzerland is published once, in the Jurisdiction Matrix, alongside the other eight regions and the method behind the ratings — so there is one version to correct rather than two that drift apart. Read the Switzerland assessment.
What a copyright complaint does here
It is acknowledged inside 24 hours, logged, and forwarded to you. Nothing is removed and no instance is suspended on the complaint itself. In Switzerland a removal follows from one thing, and only this:
- an order from a court in Switzerland
A notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512 is not on that list. That section conditions a United States liability shield we do not hold — no US entity, infrastructure, bank account or assets — and it carries no extraterritoriality provision. The copyright policy sets out the rest of the procedure, including what we tell a complainant and what we do not.
Pricing in this region
The regional factor is ×1.25, applied to the whole configuration. Transit and power cost us more here than in our EU regions, and we pass that through rather than averaging it into everyone's bill. The table below applies it to every plan, and the configurator applies it to custom builds the same way.
Every plan, at the Zürich factor
What each plan costs once the ×1.25 Zürich factor is applied. Specifications, included features and the configurator are on the plans page — they are identical in every region, so only the price is worth restating here.

Switzerland is outside EU jurisdiction, and is not part of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangements. Mutual legal assistance is slow here. The full assessment, with the method behind those ratings, is published on the Jurisdiction Matrix.
