Disclaimer

1. Not Legal Advice

The documents generated by Swiss Shield are based on publicly available templates and information. They are provided "as is" without any warranty of legal validity or acceptance by any church authority.

If you have complex circumstances (e.g., ongoing disputes with a church, questions about retroactive tax implications, or multi-canton situations), we recommend consulting a qualified legal professional or tax advisor.

2. No Guarantee of Outcome

We cannot guarantee that:

Your church resignation will be accepted
Your church tax will be refunded retroactively
The address we provide is 100% current (parishes may change boundaries)
Processing times will meet any specific deadline

3. Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

Verifying that you are a registered member of the stated confession
Providing accurate personal information
Printing, signing, and mailing the letter correctly
Following up with the church office if needed

4. Variations by Canton

Church tax and resignation procedures vary by canton. We currently support Zürich (ZH), Basel-Stadt (BS), Bern (BE), and Zug (ZG). Each canton has slightly different procedures, addresses, and processing times.

5. No Relationship Created

Using Swiss Shield does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, or any other professional service relationship.
