General Terms and Conditions and Data Protection Policy and Cookies Introduction

The present document sets out the contractual conditions for joining the loyalty circuit called “MyLugano”, consisting of the MyLugano App and the homonymous physical cards (hereinafter, the “Circuit”), provided by the Municipality of Lugano (hereinafter, the “Municipality”).

Circuit components, costs and membership conditions

The MyLugano fidelity circuit is structured in two types of programs depending on the users concerned: MyLugano Card and MyLuganoPass. Both programs can be used either in a completely digital (App) or analogue form (physical card).

I. The MyLugano Card program

MyLugano Card is addressed to citizens living in the Municipality of Lugano from 14 years of age. To join, it is necessary to be regularly registered with the Municipal Population Control and to have deposited in the database of the Population Control a copy of an identity document (passport, identity card, Swiss driving license or permit for foreigners).

The program is also aimed at employees of the City of Lugano. Upon specific request and if decided by the Municipality, the program may be extended to the employees of bodies and companies linked to the City itself, as well as to entities outside the City, for example in the field of education, and to private businesses in the Lugano area. 

The MyLugano Card allows holders to obtain a discount in the form of “cashback” for each purchase made within the Circuit. Unless otherwise specified within a specific promotion, the amount of the digital “cashback” corresponds to 10% (ten percent) of the value of the transaction made. The maximum amount of cashback issued for each individual transaction amounts to 500 CHF.-. It is recognized in the form of loyalty points (“LVGA”) which can be spent within the entire Network. The digital cash back is converted into LVGA at a fixed ratio of 1 LVGA = CHF 0.01.

If the goods are returned, the user must return the digital “cashback” without delay to the merchant who issued it according to the instructions given by the same.

LVGA can be purchased by users through the MyLugano App in packages of 2000, 5000 and 10’000 LVGA. The Municipality of Lugano may (without being obliged) grant discounts or free LVGA.

Conditions and costs for the digital MyLugano Card:
• 1 year – CHF 4.- but with the allocation of the same amount as initial assets in the form of “LVGA points” (400 LVGA)
• – 5 years – CHF 10, but with the allocation of the same amount as initial assets in the form of “LVGA points” (1000 LVGA)
Conditions and costs for the analogue MyLugano Card:
• 1 year – CHF 5.
• 5 years – CHF 11.

II. The MyLuganoPass programme

MyLuganoPass is open to all citizens from 14 years of age who are not domiciled in the Municipality of Lugano, including tourists, students and people passing through.

Possession of MyLugano Pass allows holders to obtain a discount in the form of “cashback” for each purchase of more than CHF 5.- made within the Circuit for a maximum amount of CHF 500.00. Unless otherwise indicated in the context of a specific promotion, the amount of the “cashback” corresponds to
5% (five percent) of the value of the transaction made. The maximum amount of “cashback” issued for each single transaction amounts to CHF 500.00.-. It is recognized in the form of loyalty points (“LVGA
Points”) which can be spent within the entire Circuit. The “cashback” is converted into “LVGA Points” according to a fixed ratio of 1 LVGA Point = CHF 0.01. Any further discounts are managed at the sole discretion of the Circuit partner before the “cashback” is applied. Special promotions carried out by the partner are reserved, all of which do not apply the “cashback” cumulatively.

Possession of the MyLugano Pass allows holders to pay in “LVGA Points” for any purchase of product or service within the Circuit. In the event of a return of goods, the user must return the digital“cashback” without delay to the merchant who disbursed it according to instructions given by the same.

“LVGA Points” can be purchased by users through the MyLugano App in packages of 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 points. The Municipality will be able (without being obliged) to grant concessions through discounts or free points.

Conditions and costs MyLuganoPass Digital:
• 1 year – CHF 6.-
• 5 years – CHF 12.-
Conditions and costs analogue MyLuganoPass:
• 1 year – CHF 7.-
• 5 years – CHF 13.-

III. Vouchers

The Municipality of Lugano can issue (without being obliged to do so – except for recognizing a “cash-back” to MyLugano Card analogue users) nominative vouchers in the name of the user containing predetermined packages of points that the user can load on the MyLugano App at Studio Foce or info point (Puntocittà – Centro, Pambio-Noranco and Pregassona) or that can be spent directly within the MyLugano Circuit. Replacement and reimbursement of the nominative vouchers is excluded, particularly in the event of loss, theft, damage, tampering and/or incorrect use of the nominative vouchers. The vouchers must be stored carefully and protected from outside influences that could damage them. For the use of the same at a partner of the circuit, the user must provide legitimacy (through an identity document) to prove the legitimacy of use (proof of being the holder and the direct beneficiary).

IV. Common limitations and restrictions inherent in LVGA points

The accumulation of LVGA is subject to an annual (calendar year) cap of 100,000 points. The Circuit also has a monthly cap on incoming and outgoing movements (cumulatively) of 500,000 points. Once one of these thresholds is reached, the user is excluded from the digital cashback program and does not receive any new points for further purchases. For underage users, the consent of the legal representative to the activation of the service is reserved. This consent is considered implicit, it is therefore the responsibility of the minor to have obtained it. LVGA cannot be transferred between private users and are linked to the individual account of the MyLugano Card and MyLugano Pass holder. LVGA can be used as a means of payment for 2 years from the date of issue. If they are not used within the prescribed period, the points are automatically forfeited and deleted from the App. Please note: LVGA received or purchased do not give any right to conversion and/or redemption in Swiss legal tender or any other currency by the issuer or third parties. LVGA do not confer any right, except to be used as a means of payment towards suppliers of goods and/or services that decide to join the MyLugano Circuit in relation to goods and/or services determined by the individual supplier and limited to the period of membership of the supplier. If the MyLugano network is closed, LVGA will automatically expire without the right to conversion and/or refund.

General rules of conduct and responsibility Responsibility and safety

The User undertakes to diligently protect and keep confidential all security elements relating to their programs (App, wallet and similar) and mobile devices used to operate within the framework of the Loyalty Circuit (in particular, username, password and temporary codes, correspondence with the Municipality). Passwords must meet the following security requirements: minimum 8 characters, maximum 32 characters, at least one capital letter. It is the user’s responsibility, for security purposes, to change the access passwords himself on a regular basis (recommended frequency: every three months). The application also provides the possibility of activating biometric recognition (face or fingerprint identification – depending on the device used – combined with a 4-digit pin code). By activating this option, the user is aware of the risks involved in using this simplified method. The user acknowledges and accepts that, towards the Municipality and any third party, any activity carried out using his credentials will be attributable to the user himself. The user fully assumes all contractual obligations, as well as expenses or damages that may arise from the misuse of such data (including the theft of “LVGA points” by unauthorized users), holding harmless the City from any liability and / or prejudice. The municipality is expressly released from any liability and/or general obligation to monitor the activities of users. For the sake of clarity, this exemption does not mean that the obligations to monitor transactions for the purposes of the Money Laundering Act (MLA) have been waived. The Municipality takes all reasonable and appropriate measures according to the circumstances and technological evolution to guarantee the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the information accessed or received by the users. On the other hand, communication between the user and the Municipality via the Internet (as an open public network) is under the sole responsibility of the user, who declares himself to be fully aware of the risks involved in such transmission. The Municipality does not assume any responsibility for any violation, direct or indirect, inherent to the confidentiality and/or integrity of the information that takes place outside of its computer network. The user also acknowledges that the Municipality does not guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability of the Circuit, nor the presence of a minimum number of suppliers of goods and/or services. Access may be suspended at any time and without prior notice, in particular but not exclusively due to technical failures, maintenance operations (ordinary and/or extraordinary) or in cases of force majeure (e.g., blackouts, strikes, natural disasters, etc.). In this regard, the user renounces in advance and unconditionally any and all claims based on the lack or deficiency of availability of the loyalty circuit, in particular for compensation.

Exemption from liability for goods and/or services provided by suppliers of goods and services participating in the Affiliate Circuit

It should be noted that the City of Lugano merely offers the user the opportunity to accumulate LVGA that can be spent within a network of independent merchants. As these are goods and services provided by third parties according to separate agreements, the City of Lugano is not liable for the quality, completeness and promptness of the contractual service provided to the user by the third-party supplier.

General waiver of liability in favour of the Municipality of Lugano

Neither the City of Lugano nor any other member of the Circuit shall be liable for any injury, loss of income, direct or indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental damages, including loss and/or theft of tokens/LVGA, loss of data, damage to reputation, person or property related to or arising from the digital services connected to the LVGA Circuit. The City of Lugano provides the digital services linked to the LVGA Circuit as is and without warranty. The City does not warrant or represent that the services (including the App and the digital wallet contained therein) are accurate, reliable, uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that the digital services are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume full responsibility for your use of the services. The City and all other members of the Circuit assume no liability for any loss or damage (including loss and/or theft of tokens/LVGA) arising from or related to the Third-Party Services. Events beyond the sphere of control. The Municipality of Lugano and the other members of the Circuit accept no responsibility for any event beyond the reasonable control of the Municipality of Lugano.

General rules of conduct

The user undertakes to use the Loyalty Merchant Network (and its associated resources: email, telephone, web pages, social profiles, etc.) correctly and with respect for the rights of third parties. In particular, the user undertakes to:

• hold and use LVGA in their own name and on their own account;
• not transmit content that is unlawful, harassing, offensive, discriminatory, threatening, harmful, vulgar or otherwise inappropriate;
• not use the Loyalty Circuit (and related resources) and the information contained therein to engage in any unlawful, fraudulent or infringing acts, including copyright and personality rights;

• not interfere or attempt to interfere with the activity of the Loyalty Circuit or hinder the usability of the services by users.

Payment methods and security through the App

Online payments in connection with the provision of services (in particular the purchase of LVGA by holders of the digital wallet) are made via third-party e-payment platforms. Payment can be made using PostFinance, TWINT and credit cards (MasterCard and Visa), but the payment methods can be changed at any time. The Municipality assumes no liability in this regard, as this is a separate platform operated by a third party. The conditions of use and data protection policy can be viewed on the website of the service provider.

Creating, modifying or deleting a service

The Municipality of Lugano reserves the right to activate, modify, suspend or cancel services and functions of the Loyalty Circuit at any time and without prior notice.

Account deletion by the user

You may cancel your account at any time. This will result in the immediate blocking of access to the Loyalty Circuit and the permanent loss of all accumulated LVGA. The cancellation does not prevent the user from registering again.

Suspension or deactivation of the account by the Municipality

The City shall provide for the suspension or deactivation of an account, specifically, in the following instances: a) Breach of rules of conduct and safety; b) Breach of these general conditions; c) Violation of applicable Swiss or foreign regulations; d) At the written request of the authorities.
