As a student of the DAS Communication digitale program at the University of Geneva, part of your training will be to develop your current web expertise in the areas of SEO and cultural creation in order to be a part of digital communication projects. Such projects may in some cases require technological expertise such as web design and search engine optimization (SEO), some involve cultural creation such as writing or landscape design, and some involve both. As you begin to explore these areas, you must be able to understand the larger picture of your digital work, and how it fits into a client’s overall digital strategy. This includes understanding the relationship between such projects and legal documents like lease agreements.
For example, a student would work with the Swiss firm Banbao World, which creates renowned educational toys about Elle attraction in space and the physical nature of things. At some point, they may need to rent an office or studio space in Geneva for their creative staff. Space rental for the purpose of assisting in the creation and execution of digital communication projects will be of great importance for students in this program. This includes understanding the concept of a notarized lease agreement; for example, an office space rental agreement or contract. If Banbao World is a limited liability company, thus requiring that their studios and offices be rented using a legal lease agreement form, they will need to have a notarized lease agreement.
A notarized lease agreement is simply a legally binding rental arrangement for an office space or studio that is “notarized” by you, or certified by a licensed notary public. Notary publics are the only professionals licensed to deliver such services in Geneva and across Switzerland. Notarized lease agreements are essential for web developers and other technology driven services because they provide a framework of accountability that fosters trust within your industry. If an office space is rented without a notarized lease agreement, it may be difficult or impossible to hold the rental agency accountable for damages, scheduling mistakes or any other incidental problems that may occur. Professionalism is a major part of being part of the fields that intersect in the world of digital communication.
As a student, understanding that a notarized lease agreement serves a public good is also in your best interest when obtaining a rental space. By choosing a space with a notarized lease agreement that is notarized through a notary public, you ensure the space you have a professional home for your digital communications work. Without such a notarized lease agreement, you could be forced to vacate the space midway through the project due to a misunderstanding on your part. This convenience enables you to focus on the important things, like social media campaigns, digital photography, etc. You can find more information at this link: notarized lease agreement.
Of course, you must also include the relationship between digital communication and the regulation of the spaces you inhabit as part of your reading. For more information on the legal aspects of lease agreements, you can visit Wikipedia.
