These terms govern the relationship between Theme Park AG ("Host", "we") and any group, project, or initiative ("Collective") that applies to and is accepted for fiscal hosting by the Host, including via the Open Collective platform. By applying, the Collective's administrators ("Collective Admins") accept these terms in full.

Last updated: 10 June 2026 · Version 1.0
The Host provides legal and financial infrastructure under which it collects, holds, and disburses funds on behalf of accepted Collectives. A Collective is not a separate legal entity and is not an employee, partner, agent, or joint venturer of the Host. No partnership or agency relationship is created. The Host holds Collective funds as administrator and retains legal title to those funds while they are held.
The Host is a for-profit Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft). It is not a charity, foundation, or tax-exempt organisation.
Contributions made to a Collective through the Host are not tax-deductible donations, and no donation or charitable-giving receipts will be issued. Contributions are received as ordinary commercial revenue of the Host, earmarked for the relevant Collective's stated purpose.
Where applicable, value-added tax and other indirect taxes are calculated and collected at the point of contribution by the Host's payment processor and are included in or added to the amount charged to the contributor. The Host is responsible for remitting collected taxes to the relevant authorities. Contributors are responsible for any taxes arising on their own side.
The Host hosts Collectives that are aligned with its lawful business and community objectives. Acceptance is at the Host's sole discretion; the Host may decline or remove any Collective without obligation to give reasons. The Collective must accurately describe its purpose, ownership, and activities in its application and on its public profile, and keep that information current.
A Collective must not, directly or indirectly, use the Host's infrastructure for:
Breach of this section is grounds for immediate suspension or termination and may require reporting to authorities.
The Host currently charges no host fee. The Host may introduce a host fee in future on 30 days' prior notice posted to the Collective. Payment-processor fees and Open Collective platform fees are borne by the Collective and deducted from contributions.
Funds raised for a Collective are held by the Host restricted to that Collective's stated purpose. If a Collective becomes inactive, dissolves, or leaves without nominating a successor host, the Host may apply remaining funds to a purpose consistent with the Collective's original mission.
Expenses must support the Collective's stated purpose and comply with these terms and the Host's expense policy. The Host reviews and approves payments and may reject any expense that is undocumented, unlawful, off-mission, or in breach of these terms. The Host pays approved expenses only to the extent of available Collective funds.
Host: maintain banking, bookkeeping, tax remittance, and compliance for funds held; process approved contributions and expenses.
Collective Admins: ensure all activity and expenses are lawful, accurate, on-mission, and compliant with these terms; maintain at least the minimum number of administrators required by the platform.
The Collective retains ownership of intellectual property it creates. The Host claims no ownership of Collective intellectual property by virtue of hosting, except as needed to operate the hosting relationship.
The Host provides the service "as is" and is not liable for the acts, omissions, debts, or content of any Collective. To the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law, the Collective and its Admins indemnify and hold the Host harmless against any claim, loss, tax, or liability arising from the Collective's activities or breach of these terms.
Either party may end the hosting relationship on written notice. The Host may suspend or terminate immediately for breach of Section 5, legal risk, or payment-processor requirement. On termination, remaining funds (net of fees and liabilities) are transferred to a successor fiscal host or mission-aligned recipient nominated by the Collective and approved by the Host; failing that, Section 7 applies.
These terms and any dispute arising from the hosting relationship are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Exclusive jurisdiction lies with the competent courts of Zürich, Switzerland.
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version always lives at this URL with the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes apply to the continued hosting relationship from the revised version date.
