Electrician partnership terms

Version dated 01.10.2026

1. Subject matter

OIBT pro puts partner electrical installers (each a “Partner”) in contact with owners whose installation has defects identified during an OIBT inspection and who request a quote for remedial work. The Partner receives the defect report, the photographs, the client's contact details and the deadline set by the distribution system operator (DSO).

2. Requirements

The Partner holds a general installation authorisation issued by the Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations (ESTI), has professional liability insurance and carries out work in accordance with the Low-Voltage Installation Standard (NIBT/NIN). It invoices its work directly to the client, under its sole responsibility.

3. Referral fee

For each job accepted, the Partner owes OIBT pro CHF 60 excluding VAT (detached house, apartment, photovoltaic installation, charging station) or CHF 150 excluding VAT (apartment building, commercial premises, industrial premises, farm). A job that is declined or not allocated incurs no fee.

4. Plus subscription (optional)

CHF 120 excluding VAT per month: priority allocation in the Partner's area and greater visibility to clients. May be cancelled with effect from the end of any month.

5. Invoicing

Monthly statement, payable within 30 days. If payment is more than 30 days late, the allocation of new jobs is suspended.

6. Quality

Clients and inspectors rate the Partner. An average rating below 3.5 out of 5 over at least 5 ratings, or a serious breach (safety, improper invoicing), may lead to suspension of the partnership.

7. Data

Client data may be used only for the job concerned, in accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). The Partner keeps it only for as long as necessary for the quote, the work and its legal obligations, and does not disclose it to any third party.

8. Term, governing law and place of jurisdiction

The partnership is of indefinite duration and may be terminated by either party with effect from the end of a month, subject to 30 days' notice. The agreement is governed by Swiss law; the place of jurisdiction is the place where Piol Sàrl has its registered office.
