With the confirmation of the booking, “How to join the City Pop Tribe” becomes legally binding.
Substantial or repeated failure to comply with ” How to join the City Pop Tribe ” entitles City Pop to terminate the agreement.
We thank you for embracing our concept and our values, and for following the Pop-rules: your contribution is the most important one! Let’s go! Skip to “How to join the City Pop Tribe”
We want to make sure City Pop always shines: we count on your precious help to use carefully all the installations of City Pop and to leave them as you would like to find them, and especially by following our Pop-rules.
17.1. City Pop Tribe rules
We want to make sure City Pop always shines: we count on your precious help to use carefully all the installations of City Pop and to leave them as you would like to find them, and especially by following our Pop-rules.
17.1.1. We decided on specific and high-quality designs for City Pop. For this reason, there is a ban on changes to the furniture and other furnishings of the living space. Structural changes are strictly prohibited. The furniture must not be altered, or damaged with nails or otherwise. The use of the furniture and the equipment has to be carried out as normal, resulting in normal wear and tear. Pictures, posters, etc. may be hung in the designated places if you wish to bring your personal touch. The hammering of nails in the walls etc. is not permitted.
17.1.2. You are allowed to dispense with individual, movable furnishings and equipment. We advocate a green and recyclable world without waste, so you can hand them over to City Pop if they are not to be used any more after your check-out – only if they can be used further and if City Pop accepts to hand them over. Not using parts of the furniture or the equipment does not entitle you to a price reduction, as City Pop pays for the costs of storage. If you wish to use the returned items, they will be given back to you.
17.1.3. You may bring your own, movable, small furniture items, which may not be permanently mounted or installed in the living room. The small furniture brought in may not damage the existing equipment or remaining furniture.
17.1.4. The permanent installation of satellite dishes or other technical equipment as well as the insertion of further cables is prohibited.
17.1.5. We offer you a Pop which is fully equipped with furniture and inventory: use everything while you are at City Pop, but please, remember that inventory, furniture, upholstery, equipment and household textiles may not be removed from the living space, given away, sold or given to third parties. Their use takes place exclusively together with the living space and/or with activities in the building (e.g. also the gym, the sauna, the solarium etc.).
17.1.6. Something is broken or is not working as it should and you are trying to fix it by yourself? We applaud your manual skills but stop, wait a minute! You do not have to carry out any independent repairs to the living space, to the installations, to the other equipment or to the furniture. You are obliged to report damages and any repairs required to the MPOP and/or to City Pop.
17.1.7. Do you like to find a common space clean and ready to use? So do we! When using all the common spaces of the City Pop building, please do it with care and clean up, after private parties or events requiring simultaneous use by more than one person.
17.1.8. We thank you for taking care of your Pop and all the common spaces of City Pop with common sense, following the specific rules mentioned in the Terms of use, in this term and on place.
17.2.Obligation to consider other guests
17.2.1. First rule of respect by City Pop: claiming respect for yourself from others, means having respect for others first.
17.2.2. Noise
17.2.3. We all love music! Rock, Pop, classical music… to everyone his/her own passion! But we agree with you: sound reproduction devices of any kind are to be operated in the living spaces at the customary domestic noise level. Common areas may not be used for the operation of sound reproduction equipment, not for private concerts, not for other performances and not for private parties with exclusive groups of persons (except for the organisational availability booking of the common room as ONDE). Multi-person singing events or band rehearsals in the living spaces are not permitted.
17.2.4. You are a musician, and we are so proud that you are part of our Tribe. We love to embrace different cultures and musicianship. But to respect the peace and quiet of everyone, playing music with any kind of musical instruments is not permitted. Amplifier systems for musical instruments are not allowed to be used in the living spaces. Private singing is equivalent to making music with musical instruments.
17.2.5. We know how much the hours of sleep are precious: even at City Pop, from 9pm to 8am, the legal requirement for quiet at night applies. During the night, the use of the living space should be limited according to the requirement of consideration. Only correspondingly quiet multi-person events (private parties and invitations, etc.) may be held, and sound reproduction devices must be used only in a correspondingly quiet setting. The active playing of musical instruments is prohibited during this time. Guests are advised that the nightly period of quiet can be enforced by the police and that the police can be called in by the local custom to enforce a night’s sleep without the involvement of City Pop.
17.2.6. City Pop aims to be a zen and quiet place for every member of the Tribe. You must avoid any actions that will disturb, such as slamming doors, talking out loud in common areas or in your Pop, etc. City Pop reserves the right to take action if these rules are not respected.
17.2.7. Bad smells
17.2.8. For security reasons and out of respect for all non-smokers living at City Pop, smoking in the living rooms and on the balconies is prohibited. Barbecuing is also prohibited on the balconies or in outside areas. We know barbecuing is good fun but there are many wonderful places out there where preparing a barbecue is cooler!
17.2.9. When preparing odour-intensive meals, the living space must be adequately ventilated each time so that the aromas do not settle in the fittings. Ventilation by opening the entrance door must be avoided, so that the general areas are not affected by odour emissions.
17.3. Appropriate operation of living space, installations, furniture and equipment
17.3.1. All items provided are to be used according to their purpose. Damage must be prevented as far as this is within your power!
17.3.2. Open fires in the living room, on balconies or in the general area are strictly prohibited. Excluded from this rule are candles – maybe for your romantic evening or at Christmas – which may be and must remain lit only in your presence. You will be held responsible for any negligence.
17.3.3. The operation of additional, private radiators of any kind is prohibited. To reduce any kind of wasted energy, windows should not be kept permanently open during the heating season and should not be permanently tilted.
17.3.4. Before using electrical devices, check if they are suitable for the national voltage of 220 to 230 volts and that they have a safety seal of a globally recognised organisation (e.g. “CE”). If not, stop! Do not use them.
17.3.5. You cannot make any electro-technical changes to the sockets and other electrical installations. If a plug does not fit, use a mobile adapter plug (use the City Pop ones, even better!). If you are not following our suggestions, you are fully liable for any damage caused by failure to comply with these regulations.
17.3.6. Sun protection systems are not to be used in bad weather.
17.3.7. For security reasons and to avoid bad smells, the storage of objects, clothing, shoes, racks, waste, sports equipment, etc. in the public areas, especially in front of the front door or in the corridors, or on the balcony is prohibited.
17.3.8. The guest is responsible for proper cleaning and simple maintenance of the drains (clean and unclog shower, sink, etc.). The disposal of solids, such as leftovers, hygiene articles, wet wipes etc., through the toilet or other siphons is strictly prohibited. The costs for any work needed to solve problems due to improper use or lack of simple maintenance as described at this point, will be borne entirely by the guest who assumed the improper behaviour and thus caused the problem (clogging of ducts, etc.).
17.3.9. The use of the lift system must be carried out according to the conditions listed in the lifts. Lifts are used for passenger and material transport and are not for entertainment: they are also good looking at City Pop, we just like beautiful things for you and we count on your support to keep them always nice. The emergency call installation in the lifts may only be used in case of emergency. Heavy transport or the transport of large goods in the lifts is not allowed. You are liable for damages to lifts due to improper or prohibited use.
3.10. Any damage to your Pop, to the common areas or to the installations, will be charged to you proportionally to the costs and eventual administration fee that City Pop might have
17.4. Moisture
17.4.1. You must follow the safeguarding rules that are to be undertaken daily or, when necessary, as ventilation and regeneration of the air in the living space is essential in order to avoid the formation of mould in the apartment.

17.4.3. You are responsible for the formation of mould in your apartment if the specified safeguard rules are not observed or if the mould is caused by careless use of the living space. In that case you will bear the costs if damages occur and if reparation or replacements are needed.

17.7. Pet prohibition
17.7.1. City Pop is a real fan of pets. Even so, keeping pets is prohibited. There is no entitlement to the grant of an exception.
17.7.2. If you keep a pet contrary to the contract, which leads among other things to noise or odour nuisance for the other guests and/or to multiple use or damage to the living space, this represents a fundamental breach of contract, which authorises City Pop to terminate the contract immediately. In other cases, you have to remedy the situation within a reasonable period in order to fullfil the contract as agreed.

The building does not have specially trained security personnel who could be contacted in an emergency. Therefore, the following applies:

19.2. However, City Pop is not liable for problems with access to the building, in the context of the standard local, possibly even extreme weather conditions (snow, ice, hail, heavy rain, etc.), since the guarantee of safe use at any time cannot be guaranteed, and also the personal, weather-adequate equipment of guests and the degree of familiarisation of guests with the local climate can vary greatly.

City Pop strives to keep the additional comforts available, but cannot guarantee it. The liability for the comforts, which was agreed directly between the guest and the supplier of them, is exclusively based on the provisions of the supplier of the comfort in question. Any City Pop collection or billing services under the additional comfort provided by third parties do not result in City Pop being liable for the comforts rendered or for damage caused to third parties as a result of the provision of comforts by the third party.
19.7. City Pop excludes liability for auxiliary persons to the extent permitted by law. City Pop takes care of the proper selection, instruction and supervision of its staff, in line with legal requirements.
19.8. In the event of the above agreements, City Pop shall be liable for at most the damage directly to the guest, i.e. not for indirect, further damages, nor for types of damage not typical locally and not covered by Swiss law, such as loss of enjoyment or multiple punitive damages with penalties and the like.
19.9. This limitation of liability is subject to the mandatory statutory provisions of Swiss law, substantive law, to the exclusion of international private law and to the exclusion of state contract law which is subject to the party’s position.
19.10. City Pop is not liable for loss or theft of the guest’s property, unless the loss or theft has been proven to be caused by poor service on the part of City Pop. The guest is required to keep his/her valuables in a locked cupboard, especially if she/he is not in the living room at the time when services are provided. The guest makes sure that he has adequately insured high value items, and/or has protected against access by unauthorised persons.
19.11. Insofar as City Pop is liable, this is limited to the amount of CHF 1,000.00 per claim.

20. Completeness of the booking conditions / Deviating agreements

20.2. If the guest desires special conditions and/or deviations from these terms and conditions, these are to be agreed with City Pop specifically and expressly.

The sense and spirit of the previous booking and the associated regulations and agreements made are to be preserved as far as possible. The highest guideline is an appropriate, substitute, universally applicable, but also fair in a concrete individual case, solution that is appropriate for the operating concept of City Pop.

19.2. If the Guests desire special conditions and/or deviations from these terms and conditions, these are to be agreed in writing with City Pop specifically and expressly.
19.3. Any changes and additions to the regulations and the agreements must be made at least in electronic form. Electronic written form means a printable, two-sided correspondence, from which the concurrent will of the Guests and City Pop is clear.
19.4. City Pop and/or the Mr. Pop are entitled to warn the Guests, within the framework of the regulations, agreements and legal provisions, to comply with them and to issue corresponding instructions (right of instruction / house rules / code of conduct, etc.).
19.5. For special, additional agreements with the Guests in individual cases, the requirement for at least the electronic written form applies, which must include the express acceptance and confirmation by City Pop. Acceptance by silence mechanism is explicitly excluded.
20. Unscheduled gaps in regulations and contract terms
Should it become apparent during the booking period that a legally relevant issue was not, or not adequately, regulated, or if a provision originally or subsequently does not prove to be legally feasible, the filling of the gap will be done primarily in analogy to the provisions already made and the economic intent and purpose. The sense and spirit of the previous booking and the associated regulations and agreements made are to be preserved as far as possible. The highest guideline is an appropriate, substitute, universally applicable, but also fair in a concrete individual case, solution that is appropriate for the operating concept of City Pop.

21.8. City Pop cannot guarantee that the City Pop App is free from viruses or anything else that may damage or affect any technology.
21.9. City Pop reserves the right to change, add or cancel at any time without notice, any information or functions of the City Pop App.
21.10. City Pop reserves the right to suspend the use of the City Pop App if City Pop believes that Guests or users have committed any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or that Guests or users have committed any fraud against us or any person.

Housing rules – How to join the City Pop Tribe |
“How to join the City Pop Tribe” is the internal Code of Conduct regulated by the Pop-rules, in order to ensure a healthy and peaceful Guests coexistence. It is designed to facilitate the coexistence of all the members of the Tribe, to maintain the City Pop atmosphere zen and quiet, and to learn how to treat the infrastructures (your Pop and everywhere around and within the building managed by City Pop) carefully and respectfully not only for you, but for all other members that will join us too. By illustrating our easy but precious Pop-rules, we will address them directly to YOU, dear member who has already joined us or who will join us soon!
Being a real City Pop Tribe member means being civilized and considerate to people of different backgrounds and cultures in an atmosphere of mutual respect: amazing things can happen when like-minded people come together!
“How to join the City Pop Tribe” also contains all the information you need to maintain your day-to-day relationships with City Pop and its service staff, as well as all the information you need to manage the activities associated with your stay.
You undertake to electronically confirm the code of conduct “How to join the City Pop Tribe” at the time of booking and to declare that you have understood and agreed to all provisions and to observe the rules, which is also in your own interest. With the confirmation of the booking, “How to join the City Pop Tribe” becomes legally binding.
Should the Guest fail to comply with ” How to join the City Pop Tribe”, City Pop shall have the right to terminate the agreement.
We thank you for embracing our concept and our values, and for following the Pop-rules: your contribution is the most important one! Let’s go!
1.1 Duty of care
We want to make sure City Pop always shines: we count on your precious help to use carefully all the installations of City Pop and to leave them as you would like to find them, and especially by following our Pop-rules.
1.1.1. We decided on specific and high-quality designs for City Pop. For this reason, there is a ban on changes to the furniture and other furnishings of the living space. Structural changes are strictly prohibited. The furniture must not be altered, or damaged with nails or otherwise. The use of the furniture and the equipment has to be carried out as normal, resulting in normal wear and tear. Pictures, posters, etc. may be hung in the designated places if you wish to bring your personal touch. The hammering of nails in the walls etc. is not permitted.
1.1.2. You are allowed to dispense with individual, movable furnishings and equipment. We advocate a green and recyclable world without waste, so you can hand them over to City Pop if they are not to be used any more after your check-out – only if they can be used further and if City Pop accepts to hand them over. Not using parts of the furniture or the equipment does not entitle you to a price reduction, as City Pop pays for the costs of storage. If you wish to use the returned items, they will be given back to you.
1.1.3. You may bring your own, movable, small furniture items, which may not be permanently mounted or installed in the living room. The small furniture brought in may not damage the existing equipment or remaining furniture.
1.1.4. The permanent installation of satellite dishes or other technical equipment as well as the insertion of further cables is prohibited.
1.1.5. We offer you a Pop which is fully equipped with furniture and inventory: use everything while you are at City Pop, but please, remember that inventory, furniture, upholstery, equipment and household textiles may not be removed from the living space, given away, sold or given to third parties. Their use takes place exclusively together with the living space and/or with activities in the building (e.g. also the gym, the sauna, the solarium etc.).
1.1.6. Something is broken or is not working as it should and you are trying to fix it by yourself? We applaud your manual skills but stop, wait a minute! You do not have to carry out any independent repairs to the living space, to the installations, to the other equipment or to the furniture. You are obliged to report damages and any repairs required to the MPOP and/or to City Pop.
1.1.7. Do you like to find a common space clean and ready to use? So do we! When using all the common spaces of the City Pop building, please do it with care and clean up, after private parties or events requiring simultaneous use by more than one person.
1.1.8. We thank you for taking care of your Pop and all the common spaces of City Pop with common sense, following the specific rules mentioned in the Terms of use, in this term and on place.
1.2 Obligation to consider other guests
1.2.1. First rule of respect by City Pop: claiming respect for yourself from others, means having respect for others first.
1.2.2. Noise
1.2.2.1. We all love music! Rock, Pop, classical music… to everyone his/her own passion! But we agree with you: sound reproduction devices of any kind are to be operated in the living spaces at the customary domestic noise level. Common areas may not be used for the operation of sound reproduction equipment, not for private concerts, not for other performances and not for private parties with exclusive groups of persons (except for the organisational availability booking of the common room as ONDE). Multi-person singing events or band rehearsals in the living spaces are not permitted.
1.2.2.2. You are a musician, and we are so proud that you are part of our Tribe. We love to embrace different cultures and musicianship. But to respect the peace and quiet of everyone, playing music with any kind of musical instruments is not permitted. Amplifier systems for musical instruments are not allowed to be used in the living spaces. Private singing is equivalent to making music with musical instruments.
1.2.2.3. We know how much the hours of sleep are precious: even at City Pop, from 9pm to 8am, the legal requirement for quiet at night applies. During the night, the use of the living space should be limited according to the requirement of consideration. Only correspondingly quiet multi-person events (private parties and invitations, etc.) may be held, and sound reproduction devices must be used only in a correspondingly quiet setting. The active playing of musical instruments is prohibited during this time. Guests are advised that the nightly period of quiet can be enforced by the police and that the police can be called in by the local custom to enforce a night’s sleep without the involvement of City Pop.
1.2.2.4. City Pop aims to be a zen and quiet place for every member of the Tribe. You must avoid any actions that will disturb, such as slamming doors, talking out loud in common areas or in your Pop, etc. City Pop reserves the right to take action if these rules are not respected.
1.2.3. Bad smells
1.2.3.1. For security reasons and out of respect for all non-smokers living at City Pop, smoking in the living rooms and on the balconies is prohibited. Barbecuing is also prohibited on the balconies or in outside areas. We know barbecuing is good fun but there are many wonderful places out there where preparing a barbecue is cooler!
1.2.3.2. When preparing odour-intensive meals, the living space must be adequately ventilated each time so that the aromas do not settle in the fittings. Ventilation by opening the entrance door must be avoided, so that the general areas are not affected by odour emissions.
1.3 Appropriate operation of living space, installations, furniture and equipment.
1.3.1. All items provided are to be used according to their purpose. Damage must be prevented as far as this is within your power!
1.3.2. Open fires in the living room, on balconies or in the general area are strictly prohibited. Excluded from this rule are candles – maybe for your romantic evening or at Christmas – which may be and must remain lit only in your presence. You will be held responsible for any negligence.
1.3.3. The operation of additional, private radiators of any kind is prohibited. To reduce any kind of wasted energy, windows should not be kept permanently open during the heating season and should not be permanently tilted.
1.3.4. Before using electrical devices, check if they are suitable for the national voltage of 220 to 230 volts and that they have a safety seal of a globally recognised organisation (e.g. “CE”). If not, stop! Do not use them.
1.3.5. You cannot make any electro-technical changes to the sockets and other electrical installations. If a plug does not fit, use a mobile adapter plug (use the City Pop ones, even better!). If you are not following our suggestions, you are fully liable for any damage caused by failure to comply with these regulations.
1.3.6. Sun protection systems are not to be used in bad weather.
1.3.7. For security reasons and to avoid bad smells, the storage of objects, clothing, shoes, racks, waste, sports equipment, etc. in the public areas, especially in front of the front door or in the corridors, or on the balcony is prohibited.
1.3.8. The disposal of solids, such as leftovers, hygiene articles, etc., through the toilet or other siphons is strictly prohibited. The costs incurred by disregarding this provision resulting in the demolition of WCs and other siphons are fully charged to you if you are causing the problem (not only catastrophic, but also expensive).
1.3.9. The use of the lift system must be carried out according to the conditions listed in the lifts. Lifts are used for passenger and material transport and are not for entertainment: they are also good looking at City Pop, we just like beautiful things for you and we count on your support to keep them always nice. The emergency call installation in the lifts may only be used in case of emergency. Heavy transport or the transport of large goods in the lifts is not allowed. You are liable for damages to lifts due to improper or prohibited use.
1.3.10. Any damage to your Pop, to the common areas or to the installations, will be charged to you proportionally to the costs and eventual administration fee that City Pop might have.
1.3.11. It’s strictly forbidden to smoke inside the building and apartments (including cigarettes, all e-cigarettes, etc.) and in outdoors areas where stated.
1.3.12. Smoking on the private balcony of the apartment might also be restricted to avoid disturbance to neighbours.
1.3.13. Specific areas of the building or apartment could be equipped with fire alarm detectors. Any costs coming from an activation of a fire alarm detector due to improper use of the indoor areas or apartment (smoke, excessive steam from the kitchen, bathroom, dust etc.) will be charged entirely to the guest who undertook an improper behaviour.
1.4 Moisture
1.4.1. You must follow the safeguarding rules that are to be undertaken daily or, when necessary, as ventilation and regeneration of the air in the living space is essential in order to avoid the formation of mould in the apartment.
1.4.2. The residual moisture caused by the operation of the wet cells or by boiling is to be removed by intensive daily ventilation. Intensive ventilation means the complete opening of all windows (but not the front door) for five to a maximum of 10 minutes, three times a day.
1.4.3. You are responsible for the formation of mould in your apartment if the specified safeguard rules are not observed or if the mould is caused by careless use of the living space. In that case you will bear the costs if damages occur and if reparation or replacements are needed.
1.5 Waste Management
1.5.1. Waste disposal and the provision of garbage bags are your responsibility.
1.5.2. Depending on the location of City Pop, only official, paid-for garbage bags may be used: buy them in the main grocery stores of the city or in the appropriate sales centres. Only official, payable garbage bags may be deposited (if supplied) in the container systems of City Pop. If not supplied by City Pop, you must dispose of all the waste in the crop centres managed by the City where City Pop is located.
1.5.3. There are State-run, free collection points for valuables such as glass, metal, waste oil, etc. For more information and explanations, please visit the appropriate community websites and contribute with green and respectful behaviour for our environment and beautiful world.

1.5.4. The garbage bins supplied by City Pop internally at the buildings are only meant for the waste accumulated in the specific location where the waste bin is located, and not for your personal waste accumulated in your Pop.
1.5.5. Leaving garbage bags or waste of any type within the building (floors, common areas, etc.), not properly in the dedicated containers or external to the building (garden, entrance, etc.) of City Pop is not allowed and is subject to a sanction.
1.5.6. City Pop provides a basic guideline about the waste of management that applies in your City Pop building: if you need more information, it is your responsibility to obtain information from get informed through the competent authority.
1.6 Reporting and rectification of damages and defects
1.6.1. If you observe defects and other damages to be remedied, you are required to report it to the housekeeping of your building or to the Customer Care of City Pop, who is responsible for the organisation and monitoring of the rectification of defects, and is responsible for claims management.

1.6.3. For larger repairs in the living space, City Pop will take appropriate measures to maintain service delivery.

See the terms in the Terms and Conditions.
1.7 Pet prohibition
1.7.1. City Pop is a real fan of pets. Even so, keeping pets is prohibited. There is no entitlement to the grant of an exception.
1.7.2. If you keep a pet contrary to the contract, which leads among other things to noise or odour nuisance for the other guests and/or to multiple use or damage to the living space, this represents a fundamental breach of contract, which authorises City Pop to terminate the contract immediately. In other cases, you have to remedy the situation within a reasonable period in order to fulfil the contract as agreed.
1.8 Security in the building
The building does not have specially trained security personnel who could be contacted in an emergency. Therefore, the following applies:
