1.0 KLARNA CHECKOUT

Welcome to Klarna Checkout

With the Klarna Checkout service, you can easily, flexibly and securely shop online. By answering a couple of easy questions, you will conveniently identify yourself in the service and you can choose the payment method that suits you best.

Klarna Checkout is clear because we distinguish between purchase transaction and payment. You first confirm your purchase, after which you select the payment method you want. The options available to you are a Klarna invoice or a Klarna account - or a card or bank account transfer, all equally secure. You can also, if you wish, connect the PIN code to Klarna Checkout.

By providing or requesting information through Klarna Checkout, you agree to our Terms of Use and the processing of your personal information as set forth below.

Klarna Checkout Terms of Use

By using the Klarna Checkout service, you accept the terms and conditions of Klarna AB (556737-0431, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm), "Klarna", as set out below, including any attachments and other materials referenced ("Terms"). By providing or requesting information, you will start using the Klarna Checkout service. By using, you also agree that we will process your personal information and possibly transfer the information to a third party or outside the EU / EEA. You must be at least 15 years old to use Klarna Checkout.

Identification, adaptation and risk assessment

Klarna must verify your identity in order to securely identify you and prevent unauthorized use or misuse of the Klarna Checkout service, as well as to meet the requirements of good credit practice. Klarna also retrieves additional information from various service providers, such as personal identification number, name and address, as well as credit information when selecting credit options. In order to carry out the risk assessment, Klarna must also use any information you may have provided in connection with previous purchases and publicly available information on the Internet, as well as information on how you have previously complied with our payment terms. Klarna Checkout automatically adjusts the risk assessment and thus the content of the service every time you use the service and you do not have to provide any other information in addition to the necessary information. In certain situations, your previously provided address, approved by Klarna, will be displayed immediately after entering your email address and zip code. An approved address may only be used for the purpose of pre-filling address information immediately upon purchase. By enabling a PIN, you can easily avoid pre-filling an accepted address. By completing the purchase, you will confirm your identity and the correct delivery address.

Payment, payments

The payment options available to you are displayed on Klarna Checkout. The payment options currently available on Klarna Checkout are invoice, overdraft, card payment, or direct payment via bank. The default payment option is an invoice, whenever possible. When paying by invoice, Klarna's current invoicing conditions apply; currently a 14-day credit, and in the event of a delay in payment, a € 5 reminder fee and a default interest rate that is 7% higher than the reference rate set by the Bank of Finland at any given time. Use of the Klarna Checkout service is free of charge. However, the selected payment option may result in taxes or fees, see the detailed payment terms for the option you select. Klarna may add or remove one or more payment options available from Klarna Checkout at any time.

By completing the purchase transaction in the Klarna Checkout service, you entered into an agreement with Klarna, in which Klarna e.g. guarantees that you will not have to pay for products not delivered to you. At the same time, Klarna will reimburse the store for the amount of your purchases and Klarna will be entitled to the receivable. Whichever payment method you choose, your payment will be used to settle Klarna's claim.

Operation, PIN code

Klarna owns all rights to the Klarna Checkout service. Klarna grants you a temporary right to use the Service to make purchases in a manner consistent with the use defined by Klarna, in accordance with the then-current Terms.

Klarna Checkout offers the possibility to choose a personal code, the so-called. PIN-code. The PIN code is an optional option for you who want extra protection when making e-purchases. When choosing a code, keep in mind that you will not select a code that resembles your personal ID, phone number, or the like. Do not disclose the code to anyone or make a note of the code that would allow outsiders to assume that it is a PIN.

Insurance

You represent that the information you have provided is correct and that it applies to you. You also represent that you have the right to enter into agreements without the approval of a guardian, trustee or other person.
