Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ The debt­or may waive the right to ob­ject on the grounds of pre­scrip­tion, in each case for a max­im­um of ten years from the start of the pre­script­ive peri­od.⁶¹

^1bis The waiver must be made in writ­ing. Only the user of gen­er­al terms and con­di­tions of busi­ness may waive the de­fence of pre­scrip­tion in such terms and con­di­tions.⁶²

² A waiver gran­ted by a joint and sev­er­al debt­or does not bind the oth­er joint and sev­er­al debt­ors.

³ The same ap­plies to co-ob­lig­ors of an in­di­vis­ible debt and to the surety in the event of waiver by the prin­cip­al debt­or.

⁴ A waiver gran­ted by a debt­or shall bind the debt­or’s in­surers and vice-versa, provided a dir­ect claim ex­ists against the in­surer.⁶³
