4. Payment Terms

A rent period is always calculated based on the number of days in a month. The rental cost for one day is indicated in the order confirmation to the customer. The Supplier offers various payment terms depending on the customer and how the booking is made. The Supplier will clarify the payment terms for each specific booking before the booking is made. The customer must always pay the full outstanding amount for all bookings to the Supplier before the Supplier grants the customer access to the accommodation. The rent must always be paid in advance according to the terms on the issued invoice.

4.1. Booking via a salesperson. The Supplier’s salesperson may offer payment by invoice, credit card, and debit card. If payment is made by invoice, the payment terms are stated on the invoice. If payment is made by credit or debit card, the payment is due immediately.

4.2. Booking via an online booking platform. The Supplier's online booking platform only accepts payment by credit or debit card. If the booking is made through the booking platform, the payment is due immediately.

4.3. Booking via an online travel agency or agent. Online travel agencies or agents set their own payment terms. Some of them offer the customer the option to pay at the accommodation, i.e., on-site. If the Customer chooses this option, the Supplier offers payment by credit card or debit card on the day of check-in.

The Supplier is entitled to take out a security deposit on all bookings. If the Supplier takes a security deposit on a booking, the amount of the security deposit will be stated in the order or booking confirmation. The security deposit will be refunded to the Customer when the Customer has moved out of the accommodation and the accommodation has been approved upon inspection by the Supplier. The Supplier's costs for remedying damages caused by the customer or the customer's guest(s) intentionally or through negligence will be deducted from the deposit. This does not prevent the supplier from demanding additional compensation from the customer to cover damages caused by the customer or the customer's guest(s) through intent or negligence. The Supplier has the right to regulate unpaid rental costs and cancellation fees by using the deposit.

6. Cancellation

Cancellations must be made in writing, via email to info@swedenlongstay.se. A cancellation request made via voicemail, social media, or any other channel that is not listed as an approved channel will not be accepted. The Supplier reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee if the cancellation is made at short notice. The size of the cancellation fee depends on the booking. To cancel without a fee, the cancellation must be made by the customer and confirmed by the supplier no later than: 2 days (48 hours) before if the booking length is 1-6 nights, 7 days before if the booking is 1-3 weeks, 30 days before if the booking is 1 month or longer. If cancellations are not made according to the above, the customer must pay for the entire booking.

7. Termination of Rental Agreement

If the tenant or contract has a monthly rental agreement or monthly payments that have been ongoing for more than a month (30 days), the notice period is always at least one (1) calendar month. If the parties agree on other terms, they must always be in writing. The tenant or the company that wishes to terminate a rental agreement must do so in writing, via email to info@swedenlongstay. A request for termination made via voicemail, social media, or any other channel not listed as an approved channel will not be accepted. If you are a private individual and rent the property directly on a rental agreement, the notice period is three (3) months according to Swedish law. If you are a private individual and rent the property directly on a rental agreement, you are the right person to make the termination. However, if it concerns a company's rental agreement, meaning that your employer rents the property, the notification of termination must come from an authorized person at the company.

8. Move-In

The Supplier is responsible for ensuring the accommodation is clean and tidy before the customer moves in. By signing the order confirmation, the customer agrees to instruct the people who will live in the accommodation on the internal rules of conduct and to ensure that the customer's staff understands and follows these rules (see house rules below). The customer is obliged to inform the supplier of any changes in the number of people staying in the accommodation. The supplier has the right to limit the number of people staying in the accommodations.

Before moving into the accommodation, you as a customer will receive an email confirmation regarding how the Customer will gain access to the property. Any key handovers should be performed, and complete details about the number of keys, any access cards, and pictures of the keys and parking permits should be provided. At the time of moving out, the customer must return all keys, access cards, and parking permits. Information on how the key handover should be performed in connection with moving out will be sent by mail. If the correct number of keys, access cards, and parking permits is returned, the customer will receive a composite picture of this as confirmation of the correct return. If keys, access cards, or parking permits are missing, the customer will be invoiced as follows; lost apartment key – 2500 SEK plus VAT, lost property key – 950 SEK plus VAT, lost digital keys/access cards - 1000 SEK plus VAT, lost laundry cylinder- 1000 SEK plus VAT, lost parking permit – 500 SEK plus VAT. The customer is obliged to follow these rules regarding keys/cards/tokens: Always keep keys/cards/tokens in a safe place Never lend keys/cards/tokens to

unauthorized persons Do not make copies of keys/cards/tokens Do not mark keys/cards/tokens so that unauthorized people can identify and link the information to the current address and associated lock Never mark, write on, or engrave anything on keys/cards/tokens Always report immediately to the supplier if you lose keys/cards/tokens. The customer must always return keys/cards/tokens when the supplier requests it.

8. Moving Out / Normal Wear and Tear

Moving Out Upon moving out, a mandatory cleaning fee applies unless another agreement exists. The cleaning fee is stated in the booking, order, or booking confirmation. The cleaning fee is based on the size of the accommodation and the number of people who have lived in the property.

All keys and access cards must be returned to the supplier on the day of departure. If they are not returned on the departure day, the customer will be charged for a lock change, lost laundry cylinder/token, or lost parking permit. When the customer has moved out, an inspection will be carried out of the accommodation within 7 days. The customer is welcome and encouraged to be present at the inspection. If no violations have been committed by the customer; the customer's staff or visitors staying in the accommodation, the supplier will transfer the entire deposit back to the customer within 14 days. If any violations or damages have occurred, the supplier will inform the customer about these and issue an invoice to cover the losses. This will then be sent to the customer. In the case of damages or violations, an hourly rate of 450 SEK + 25% VAT for administrative work will be added. If the deposit has insufficient funds, the customer is obligated to pay an additional invoice within 10 days of receiving the invoice.

Normal Wear and Tear The supplier accepts normal wear and tear on the accommodation and its furnishings. This means that the customer is responsible for all damages that occur due to intent or negligence and are more than what can be considered normal. This applies to damages caused by the Customer, the tenants, or the guests, or if the accommodation has been left unlocked and a burglary or other intrusion has occurred. The supplier has the right to repair damages that occur in this way at the customer's expense. The customer is also responsible for any income losses that occur due to the accommodation not being rentable during the repair period.

9. Third-Party Claims

If the customer breaches their contract, these terms and conditions, or house rules that are specific to the accommodation in such a way that the supplier becomes liable to a third party, for example, a landlord, the customer becomes responsible to the supplier for the same claims that the third party has against the supplier.
