These changes apply from 30 May 2022.

Full version only available in Swedish. Translations will follow within shortly.

In case of any inconsistencies between the Swedish and the English version of these General terms and conditions for the service, the Swedish version shall take precedence.

1. General

These general terms and conditions apply when Kivra Sverige AB, reg. no. 556917-3544, or another company within the same group as Kivra Sverige AB ("Kivra") provides private individuals ("Private Users") and companies ("Business Users") - collectively "Users”/”You”- one or more digital services and features, including but not limited to, a digital mailbox to receive, handle, transmit and store digital messages, mail and receipts (the "Service"), including any other features and services that Kivra may from time to time provide ("Additional Services"). The term Service also refers to Additional Services unless otherwise is explicitly stated in these general terms and conditions or in the special terms and conditions for the Additional Service in question. Please note that special conditions may apply to the provision of certain Additional Services, see section 3 below. To access such Additional Services, Users must accept the special terms and conditions that apply to the Additional Service. The special terms and any other written agreements regarding the Service and the Additional Services between Kivra and a User form, together with these general terms and conditions, the agreement between Kivra and the User (the "Agreement").

A User who chooses to register to use the Service undertakes at the same time to comply with these general terms and conditions and any other rules and instructions that Kivra publishes from time to time via the Service. A User is also obliged to comply with applicable laws, regulations and official decisions.

2. The Service

2.1 Registration
Users order the Service by applying for registration of an account in Kivra through one of the registration options offered by Kivra from time to time.

  • All private individuals who have a Swedish social security number as well as electronic identification that Kivra supports can apply for registration of an account with Kivra. In order for a Private User's application for registration of an account to be approved by Kivra, it is necessary that the person is at least 18 years of age or that the person's registration can be done in a manner approved by the User's parent/guardian. A Private User who is a sole trader also receives E-letters (see definition under section 2.3 below) to his or her sole proprietorship in its private digital mailbox. The reason is that in these cases the company registration number is the same as the User's social security number.

  • For Business Users, the application for the Service can only be made by an authorised company signatory (“Signatory”) in accordance with the signatory right that the company has registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (this refers to limited companies, trading companies, limited partnerships and economic associations) or with a, by Kivra approved, organisation (this refers to non-profit organisations). The Signatory that initiates the application for the Service needs to be a User. Companies that have signatory rules that are supported by the responsible authorities’ register service or a register kept by a, by Kivra approved, organisation, can register for the Service.

An agreement on the Service shall be deemed to have been entered into between Users and Kivra once the registration has been completed and the account has been approved. The Service is free of charge for Users.

2.2 Access
Access to the Service is given through one of the access options that Kivra from time to time informs about via the Service. The User is aware of and agrees that the Service may also be used in conjunction with and accessed through external services offered by companies with which Kivra cooperates. Kivra is not responsible for the provision of such external services or for the content or results of such external services.

2.3 Receival of E-letters
The Service means that Kivra, after approved registration of a User's account, for instance receives digital messages,mail including invoices and receipts ("E-letters") to the User's digital mailbox from the companies, organizations, authorities, municipalities and others who have chosen to join Kivra ("Senders"). Digital receipts are, however, not available to Business Users. A more detailed description of the Service and its functions is available through the Service.

In order to receive E-letters from authorities and municipalities, the User must also register as a user of the service Mina Meddelanden, see the description of the general terms and conditions at digg.se. This is done automatically upon registration with Kivra. By being connected to Mina Meddelanden, the User agrees to receive E-letters from authorities and municipalities that are connected to or will join Mina Meddelanden. Mina Meddelanden is not available to Business Users who are non-profit organisations.

Kivra continuously notifies Senders that Users wish to receive E-letters in their digital mailbox. Users can, via settings in the Service, at any time choose to not receive E-letters from one or more Senders. Users can also choose to not receive digital receipts in its digital mailbox via settings in the Service. Following such notification, the User may continue to receive E-letters from the Sender in question for a maximum of fifty-two (52) days and digital receipts for a maximum of three (3) days.

2.4 Uploads
Digital documents can also be uploaded in the Service by a User. The number of digital documents is limited to 20 and from time to time, Kivra may introduce other limitations for such uploads.

2.5 Permission
Within the framework of the Service, a Private User may choose to share their digital mailbox with another User and thus give that person reading and management rights. However, in order to access the Private User's digital mailbox, this User must log in with e-identification and accept the sharing. The sharing can be revoked at any time by the Private User. Digital receipts are not included in the possibility to share its digital mailbox. However, the User can manage its receipts in accordance with the functionality that from time to time is offered in the Service. The User can for example choose forward its digital receipts to one or more systems, for example for expense management.

Signatories (or other Users who represent the Business User and have been granted such authorisation) may grant someone else access rights to part or all of the Company's digital mailbox and then grant that person reader and/or handling rights. Certain handling of the company's mailbox requires the approval of an authorised Signatory. Information on such handling can be found within the Service. Users with handling rights for the company's mailbox can create new access rights as well as revoke issued access rights whenever they wish. Users with management rights can also activate and terminate Additional Services on a Business User’s behalf. Signatories that are Users always have access to the company's mailbox.

2.6 Kivra’s communication with Users
Kivra communicates with Users via e.g. email, SMS, push notifications and E-letters. The User can choose to decline notices via email and push notifications through settings in the Service. The User can also choose to decline email marketing via link in the email itself. Communication regarding the Service is, however, considered an integral part of the Service, which means that it cannot be deselected. It is also not possible to decline Kivra as the Sender in the Service.

2.7 Receipt and responsibility of E-letters
An E-letter is considered to have been delivered to a User when the E-letter has been made available to the User in the User's digital mailbox.

The Sender is responsible for the content of the E-letter.

Users are responsible in the same way as for physical mail to take note of the content of the E-letter.

2.8 Storage
Content in the Service, such as E-letters and the User’s account history, are stored during the period of time Users have an approved account registered in Kivra.

During this time, the User is responsible for any digital documents, including but not limited to E-letters, which he or she chooses to delete. Digital receipts are, however, automatically deleted after eight (8) years. The deleted digital documents will no longer be available to the User.

Upon suspension or termination of the Service for a User in accordance with section 11 below, all the User’s digital documents, including but not limited to E-letters, as well as the User’s account history, that are stored within the Service are deleted after forty-five (45) to fifty-two (52) days.

3. Additional Services

Kivra has the right to introduce and offer Additional Services at any time.

Users automatically gain access to such Additional Services that are provided at no charge to the User. Kivra informs the User through the Service when such Additional Services are introduced. Kivra will inform the Users of any Additional Services offered for a fee through the Service and the User chooses at its sole discretion whether such Additional Services should be added.

As stated above, special terms and conditions may apply to the provision of certain Additional Services.

4. Changes in the Service

Kivra has the right to make changes to the Service at any time and the functions that can be used from time to time via the Service may vary over time in scope and design. Kivra reserves the right to continuously develop, expand, restrict or otherwise change the design of the Service, technical functions, systems, technical conditions for access to the Service and other components and the conditions for these.

5. Accessibility

The Service is normally available 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, year-round. However, Kivra does not guarantee and is not responsible for the Service being free from any errors, delays and/or interruptions. Kivra reserves the right at any time to temporarily suspend the provision of the Service for service purposes, e.g. bug fixes, maintenance and upgrades. Kivra has no responsibility for updating the Service's access rights.

6. The User's responsibility for access to the Service etc.

The User is responsible for:

  • having connections and equipment necessary for the Service, including a functioning Internet connection and digital devices and browsers that enable access to the Service.

  • the accuracy of the information provided in connection with registration and use of the Service and any Additional Services.

  • to continuously update his or her contact details so that they are correct at all times and to ensure that the User has access to the specified contact details and that they are functioning to receive information from Kivra.

  • that personal and user-specific information such as user identity and password or other documents, certificates or devices that may be used for access to the Service are stored in a secure manner and are not used by or disclosed to unauthorised persons. If a User suspects that such information has been obtained by an unauthorised person or is otherwise misused, the User is obliged to take immediate action to restrict access to the Service and inform Kivra about the arisen situation.

Business Users and its Signatories are also responsible for:

  • keeping their access rights updated in the Service.

  • to continuously access E-letters in the role as Business User, even if the Service has been terminated as Private User.

7. The User’s responsibility for use of the Service

The User is responsible for activities undertaken by the User and any other Users to whom the User has given reading and/or management rights. Users are thus responsible, among other things, for any transmission of information and digital documents, including but not limited to E-letters, made by the User in the context of the Service.

The User is responsible for ensuring that the digital documents that the User saves in the Service are not in violation with applicable legislation.

Users may not use the Service in such a way that Kivra or others are affected by inconveniences or damages. Thus, Users cannot manage digital documents, including but not limited to E-letters, that infringe third-party rights or that may be perceived as offensive or disorderly, such as representations with hateful, threatening or pornographic content or that call for violent actions or agitation against an ethnic or national group, through the Service.

If Kivra suspects that a User is using the Service in violation of this section, Kivra is entitled to, without prior notice to the User, delete and/or prevent the User from transmitting information and/or digital documents, including but not limited to E-letters, and suspend the Service for the User and terminate the Agreement with the User with immediate effect, see further section 11.2 below.

8. Processing of personal data

8.1 For Users
If you would like to know how Kivra processes your personal data when You use the Service, read here.

8.2 For Users that also are Business Users
The Business User is data controller for storage and any other processing of personal data in the Business User’s digital mailbox. Kivra is the Business User’s data processor for these processing activities and the relationship is regulated in the data processing agreement (the “Data Processing Agreement”) which forms part of this Agreement. If the Business User has registered for one of Kivra’s Additional Services the Data Processing Agreement also consists of any regulation in the special terms and conditions that apply to the Additional Service.

9. Liability and limitation of liability

Kivra is responsible for the information security in the Service.

Kivra is not responsible for any damages that result from the User providing incorrect information when registering, that result from the User’s incorrect handling the User's digital mailbox or that result from the User’s incorrect handling of the information that is required for access to the Service.

Kivra only reimburses Users for verified and reasonable costs incurred as a direct result of Kivra’s negligence. However, Kivra does not reimburse Users for indirect costs, damages or losses, such as, for example, loss of profit or other consequential damages, unless Kivra has acted willfully or grossly negligent.

Notwithstanding the above, Kivra's total liability towards a User during each twelve-month period is limited to an amount corresponding to a quarter (25%) of the price base amount applicable at the time according to the Social Insurance Code (2010:110).

Users are obliged to make claims for compensation to Kivra within three (3) months after the damage was discovered or should have been discovered. If a User fails to do so, the User loses the right to assert the claim.

The rights conferred on a consumer, or a data subject when Kivra is data controller for the processing in question, under applicable Swedish law are not limited by what is prescribed about Kivra's liability and limitations of liability.

10. Force majeure

Kivra is exempted from liability to indemnify or other liability for damage if failure to act is due to an obstacle beyond Kivra's control which Kivra could not reasonably have expected and whose consequences Kivra could not reasonably have avoided or overcome, including but not limited to, for example, wars, natural disasters, lockouts or other labor conflicts, fires, interruptions in energy supply, and interruptions in the operation of electronic data processing caused by the above. The same applies if a subcontractor to Kivra is affected by obstacles referred to in this section.

11. Suspension and termination of the Service

11.1 The User’s rights
A User has the right to terminate the Agreement at any time by notifying Kivra that the User wishes to unregister his or her account. For Business Users, it is the Signatory that is authorized to terminate the Agreement on behalf of the Business User. After such notice of termination, the User may continue to use the Service for a limited period of time to receive and read such E-letters as Senders at the time of the notice of termination already planned to be delivered via the Service.

The Service is terminated for the User and the Agreement terminates when the affected Senders have been informed of the termination and have been given the opportunity to change delivery method for letters to the User, however not later than fifty-two (52) days from Kivra’s receipt of the User's notice of termination.

11.2 Kivra’s rights

However, Kivra always has the right to immediately make changes and additions that are required by law, regulation or official decisions. If changes and additions are not approved by a User, the User is always entitled to terminate the Agreement in accordance with section 11 above.

15. Assignment and subcontractors

Users may not assign this Agreement, or their rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Kivra.

Kivra has the right, without the User's consent, to assign this Agreement in whole or in part, or its rights and obligations under this Agreement, to companies included in the same group of companies as Kivra.

Kivra has the right to hire subcontractors for the fulfillment of its obligations under the Agreement. Kivra is in such cases fully liable for such subcontractor’s fulfillment of its obligations.
