When making a purchase with Klarna you may configure and use a number of different funding sources, including debit, credit or prepaid cards. Your funding source will be saved to your Klarna User Account until you edit/remove it from your user account or if the user account is deleted. By choosing to save your card details with Klarna you authorise Klarna to charge this funding source for any subsequent usage of Klarna when making purchases with us. You will not be charged until you make a purchase. If your default card funding source can’t be charged for a purchase, including instalment plans or subscriptions, if applicable, you authorize Klarna to attempt to charge your other card funding sources, registered to your Klarna User Account.
9. Your obligations
You shall always provide correct information and use your own and correct identity. Any use of information that does not belong to you or that you for other reasons are not authorised to use, or the use of the Service in a non-prescribed way, will be seen as a misuse. Any data relating to misuse or suspected misuse may be saved and used for future risk assessment and for the protection of involved parties. Klarna reserves the right to block the Service from further usage.
If you upload, import or share content to Klarna, like images, texts, receipts, information on goods, service or deliveries, or other content, you grant Klarna a royalty-free right to use and display the content for purposes of delivering the Service. We have the right to remove any content uploaded or shared by you if we are required by law, or believe it is offensive, inappropriate, unlawful, violating the rights of others, or otherwise objectionable. You are liable for any content uploaded or shared by you. You acknowledge and agree that if you upload, import or share content that is abusive, threatening or offensive, or violates, or Klarna may reasonably assume to violate, law or your agreement with Klarna, we may terminate or deactivate your use of the Klarna App.
You may not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, alter or modify any part of the Loyalty Cards Service, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or algorithms of the Loyalty Cards Service.
10. Third party services
Some features used by you, for example parcel tracking, may include services provided by a third party. Logistic companies’ tracking functions is an example of this. When you use features which rely on third party services, you authorize Klarna to utilize those services on your behalf.
Your use of Google Maps in the checkout (for example by searching for your address in the address field) and the Klarna App is subject to the then-current Google Maps/Google Earth’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Furthermore, to prevent abuse of the Klarna’s App via the web portal, Klarna may use reCAPTCHA, making you subject to Google’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
The Klarna App is available through third-party distribution platforms (“Application Stores”). You may require prior registration with the relevant Application Store. Klarna has no influence on the collection, processing and use of personal data by the respective Application Store operators.
11. Changes to these terms
In order to provide you with an increasingly smooth user experience, we may make changes to these terms from time to time so you should check back regularly to see if anything has changed. However, if we make significant changes, we will give you two months’ advance notice of those changes. If you gave us your email address when you created your Klarna User Account, we will send the notice to that email address, but otherwise you will need to review these terms each time you log in to check for changes. We will make all changes easy to identify. You will need to agree to the changes the next time that you log in after the end of the notice period. If you do not agree to any changes, you may contact Customer Service to terminate this Agreement.

12. Duration and termination of this Agreement
This Agreement is for an indefinite period of time and continues until it is terminated by you or Klarna.
You may request to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, by contacting us directly. Klarna will terminate your access to the App provided that all amounts owed to us by you (including late fees) have been paid in full, and no disputes and/or refunds are in progress.
You will remain liable for all outstanding amounts that you owe to Klarna (including late fees) even after this Agreement has been terminated (by you or Klarna). In that scenario, we will provide information to you on how to make payments to us.
Klarna may suspend, limit your access to our Services and/or terminate this Agreement where we reasonably consider it necessary to comply with our legal obligations or because you have not complied with this Agreement, for example:
for the prevention of fraud;
to limit the risk of money laundering and/or terrorism financing;
to protect us against any legal or regulatory risks;
we reasonably suspect, or are aware, that you have breached this Agreement in a material respect; or
we otherwise reasonably consider your activity associated with the Klarna User Account to be in breach of the law.
Klarna will give you a three months’ advance notice of any suspension, limitation or termination, but sometimes Klarna will not be permitted to tell you by law or where it will prejudice any investigation.
If Klarna cannot provide the Service for any reason or ceases to provide the Service, Klarna may terminate this Agreement by providing three written months’ notice. Such notice will be provided to the email address registered to the relevant User Account.
Please note that in the event of termination of this Agreement, the use of the Service, including any features provided in, or managed via, the Klarna App, will no longer be available.

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under these terms.
