6. CONSUMER RIGHTS
​
-
In the event Customer is a consumer (hereinafter the “consumer”), all mandatory applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to konsumentköplagen (2022:260) and lagen om distansavtal (2005:29)) shall apply to the consumer.
​
-
This Section 6 aims to provide the Customer with general information about its rights as a consumer under Swedish law. This information contained within this Section 6 is for informative purposes only and is not intended as legal advice. For help in this matter the consumer can contact Konsumentverket (www.konsumenverket.se).
​
-
Consumer’s rights under the Swedish law are the following:
​
a) Right to complain about errors with the Services
If the consumer has a problem with the Services, the consumer has the right to contact us at johan.holtby@cadcog.com and complain about the error. CADcog is responsible for errors in the digital content or digital service that existed at the time of provision of the Services and that appear within three (3) years from the time of such provision. The consumer’s complain must be made within two (2) months from the end of the three (3)-year time period as mentioned above. An “error” may be (i) not receiving updates during the subscription period (when the subscription provides continuous access), (ii) not receiving the latest version that was available when the consumer entered into agreement with CADcog, (iii) that the Services do not work, even though the consumer accessed the Services based on instructions that the consumer received from the CADcog. For the avoidance of doubt, if the error is due to, for example, errors in the consumer’s hardware or software (including any virtual reality hardware systems or related software which was provided by third-parties to the consumer), CADcog shall have no responsibility for the error.
​
b) Right to have the error fixed or receive a redelivery of the Services in case of error with the Services
Provided that CADcog is responsible for the error, the consumer shall have the right that CADcog corrects the error free of charge or to make a redelivery, whichever option would be more reasonable at CADcog’s sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the consumer shall not have the right to a redelivery of the Services if something outside CADcog’s control makes it impossible for CADcog to deliver.
c) Right to receive a price reduction in case of error with the Services
The price deduction must correspond to the error. It means the reduction in value compared to the value that the Services would have had without the error. For Services that are provided continuously during a period, the price reduction shall refer to the part of the time period in which there was an error.
​
d) Right to terminate the subscription in case of error with the Services
By terminating the subscription, the access to the Services shall be lost. The consumer shall receive a refund for the part of the Services which the consumer was unable to use. The refund shall be done to the account used by the consumer to pay for the subscription. No credit receipts or gift cards shall be offered to the consumer.
e) Rights in case of delay in making available the Services
The consumer may choose between demanding that the subscription is completed and cancelling the subscription. However, CADcog shall not be obliged to complete the subscription, if there is an obstacle that CADcog cannot overcome or if it would require unreasonable efforts. If such circumstances cease to exist within reasonable time, the consumer may, however, demand that CADcog completes the subscription. The consumer loses the right to demand that CADcog completes the subscription, if the consumer waits an unreasonably long time to make the demand.
The consumer may cancel the subscription if CADcog’s delay is of significant importance to the consumer or if the consumer has informed CADcog before accessing the Services that it is essential to the consumer to access the Services by a certain day. For the avoidance of doubt “delay” means a case when the Services are not delivered or delivered late without the consumer being at fault for such delay. The consumer may also cancel the subscription if CADcog announces that the Services will not be delivered.
If the consumer has demanded that CADcog makes available the Services within a specified additional time and if the additional time is not unreasonably short, the consumer may cancel the subscription if the Services are not delivered within the additional time. While the additional period is running, the consumer may cancel the subscription only if CADcog announces that the subscription will not be completed within this period. If the consumer has demanded that the subscription should be completed without specifying any additional time, the consumer may cancel the subscription if the Services are not made available within a reasonable time after the demand was made.
In addition, the consumer may claim damages from CADcog, unless CADcog shows that the delay or error is due to an obstacle beyond CADcog’s control. If the Services have been made available too late, the consumer may cancel the subscription due to the delay only if the consumer, within a reasonable time after the consumer became aware of the delivery, notifies CADcog that the subscription is cancelled.
f) Right of withdrawal
The consumer shall have a period of fourteen (14) days, to withdraw from the Terms of Use without giving any reason (“Withdrawal period” or in Swedish; “ångerrättsperiod”). The Withdrawal period shall expire after fourteen (14) days from the day of the conclusion of these Terms of Use. If the consumer wishes to withdraw from these Terms of Use, it can do so by informing CADcog of its decision. CADcog shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to accept a late request of withdrawal sent by the consumer after the Withdrawal period has expired but within maximum 60 days from the day of the conclusion of these Terms of Use. The consumer can complete the forms attached here (https://publikationer.konsumentverket.se/kontrakt-och-mallar/angerblankett) which originate from Konsumentverket (www.konsumentverket.se; in Swedish; “Ångerblankett”).
​
By accepting these Terms of Use, the Customer expressly acknowledges and accepts that at the time of its registration of its free account or of the purchase of its paid subscription, whichever would occur first, the provision of the Services begins immediately after validation of the account and/or of the purchase of the paid subscription.​
If the consumer withdraws from these Terms of Use, CADcog shall reimburse the consumer without undue delay such applicable payments received from the consumer. CADcog shall use the same means of payment for the refund that the consumer used for the initial transaction, unless the consumer has expressly agreed otherwise with CADcog. The refund will not imply any costs for the consumer.
7. DATA PROTECTION

-
The Customer’s personal data shall be treated in accordance with CadCOG’s Privacy Policy, available here and shall be subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, General Data Protection Regulation (the ”GDPR”).
