It is a condition that the User, when creating a user account, purchasing a subscription and or using or purchasing other services (hereafter Services) offered by BostadsZonen, has read and accepted these Terms and Conditions.
Only people who are 18 years or older can buy a subscription or create Housing Ads at BostadsZonen.

BostadsZonen is basically free to access. You can search for rental housing at any time, as well as create a user account for free. You can also create a Profile, a Housing Search Ad, a Housing Ad and a HousingMatcher for free.
If you wish to access the landlords' contact information it is required that you purchase a subscription-based access.
When access to the landlords' contact information is purchased on BostadsZonen, an ongoing subscription is created. The subscription gives you access to the landlord's contact information until the subscription is terminated.
The purchase of access to the landlord's contact information is, like the other services on BostadsZonen, an online service with the simultaneous creation of an ongoing subscription that gives you access to the landlord's contact information on the active housing ads available at www.BostadsZonen.se
BostadsZonen is not involved in either the contact between the tenant and the landlord, or the actual rental of the respective rental housing.
A Profile is a short description of you as either a tenant or a landlord. The Profile can be seen by you and the people you are in contact with on BostadsZonen.
A Housing Search Ad is a completed ad that presents you as a housing searcher, indicating information about you and your criteria for your future rental housing. A Housing Search Ad can be seen by all visitors on BostadsZonen.
A HousingMatcher is a service that, based on some of the criteria you specify, notifies you of new relevant rental housings per. mail.

When you buy access to the landlords' contact information on BostadsZonen, the first 4 days of access cost 29 kr.

When the first four days have expired, the subscription costs is 349 kr. per month. This is an ongoing subscription, which is periodically renewed every 30 days.
This also means that at the same time as your purchase of 29 kr. (for the first 4 days) you accept that BostadsZonen may raise the agreed monthly subscription price of 349 kr. until the subscription is terminated.
A subscription period begins at the time the purchase is completed - which means at the time the subscription is created. Therefore, it is not the time at which the amount is deducted from your bank account that is decisive for the length of the period.
You can always log in to "My page" under "Account" and see the status of your subscription, including when it is renewed, just as you will also be able to see your completed payments.

If you do not receive the email confirming your termination, or if you experience other problems in connection with your termination, you must immediately contact our customer service so that we can help and check whether the termination has gone through correctly.
It is the User's responsibility to save the receipt for the termination as documentation that the termination has taken place.
The termination of your subscription will step into effect by the end date of your current payment period. For you, this means that there will be no further payments due after the valid expiration date ends.
Once you have canceled your subscription at BostadsZonen, future withdraws will therefore lapse and the subscription will be terminated, unless you reactivate your subscription.
