In this case, the Customer is entitled to a proportional refund of any pre-paid fees for the affected part(s) of the Service.
- WEIQ reserves the right to change these GTC and other terms for the delivery of the Service with 60 days’ notice.

8. Customer’s responsibilities
- The Customer bears sole and full responsibility for all sales of goods and services made through the Service to End Customers or other third parties, and for all obligations, liabilities, and consequences arising from or in connection with such sales, including without limitation the delivery of goods and services as described to the End Customer, the timely fulfilment of orders, and the handling of all complaints, refunds, returns, and disputes. This responsibility applies irrespective of any allocation of payment processing responsibility set out in WEIQ’s terms of service applicable to End Customers.
- The Customer shall ensure that the Service is used only for the sale of goods and services that the Customer is lawfully entitled to offer, including but not limited to food, beverages, tickets, and other merchandise. The Customer shall not offer any goods or services that appear on Adyen’s list of prohibited and improper products and services referred to in Section 1.3(ii). The Customer shall bear any fines, penalties, or other sanctions imposed in connection with any breach of this Section 8.2 and assume full legal responsibility in relation thereto.

An order is automatically deemed delivered when it is placed. It is the Customer’s responsibility to close the Seller if it is no longer accepting orders.
- In respect of tickets sold through the Service, the Customer shall be responsible for delivering the event or experience as described to the End Customer. The Customer shall at all times maintain sufficient funds in its settlement account to cover any refunds that may be required. Where the Customer’s account has insufficient funds to cover required ticket refunds, WEIQ shall be entitled to claim reimbursement of the full amount of such refunded tickets, together with an administrative fee of SEK 500 per affected ticket, subject to a maximum aggregate administrative fee of SEK 5,000 per event.

- WEIQ provides the Service as a technical platform. All sales of goods and services made through the Service occur directly between the Customer and its End Customers. WEIQ is not a party to, and does not assume any responsibility or liability for, any such transaction.
- WEIQ may review the Customer’s content to determine whether it is illegal or violates WEIQ’s policies. However, such review does not constitute an approval or endorsement of the content, and the Customer retains sole responsibility for all content it uploads to or makes available through the Service.
- WEIQ reserves the right to immediately suspend the Customer’s access to the Service, in whole or in part, without prior notice if: (a) the Customer uses the Service in a manner that constitutes, or is reasonably suspected to constitute, fraudulent or illegal activity; (b) the Customer’s use of the Service poses an imminent risk of harm to WEIQ, WEIQ’s trademark or goodwill, End Customers, or third parties, including reputational harm; (c) the Customer materially abuses the Service or uses it in a manner inconsistent with its intended purpose; (d) suspension is required by law, regulation, or by order of a competent authority; or (e) the Customer fails to pay the Subscription Fee or any other fees due under the Agreement.

- Parts of the Service that, where applicable, have a fee per transaction are typically billed in arrears on a monthly basis.
- WEIQ reserves the right to change the price of the Service for future periods. Information regarding price adjustments will be sent out at least three months before they take effect. If the Customer does not accept such price adjustments, the Customer may terminate the subscription with effect from the date on which the new prices would otherwise take effect, by giving WEIQ written notice of termination no later than 30 days before that date. Until such termination takes effect, the previous prices remain applicable to the Customer.
- Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, payment terms are 30 days net from the date of invoice. Ancillary fees, such as invoice fees, are charged in accordance with WEIQ’s applicable price list from time to time. All fees are exclusive of value-added tax, withholding tax, and any other applicable taxes or public charges.
- Interest on overdue payments is the reference interest rate set by the Swedish National Bank (Sw. Sveriges Riksbank) plus eight percentage points in accordance with the Swedish Interest Act (1975:635).
11. Termination
- The subscription is valid from the Start Date. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, the initial contract period is twelve months from the Start Date, after which the Agreement is automatically renewed for successive periods of three months each, unless either party terminates the Agreement in writing at least three months before the end of the then-current contract period.
- WEIQ may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if (a) the Customer is in default in the payment of fees and has failed to remedy such default within 15 days of receiving written notice from WEIQ, (b) the Customer is insolvent, has been declared bankrupt, or is for any other reason unable to fulfil its payment obligations, or (c) the Customer materially breaches the Agreement and, where such breach is capable of remedy, fails to remedy the breach within 30 days of receiving written notice from WEIQ.

Such termination takes effect on the date specified by WEIQ in the notice. In the event of termination under this Section, the Customer is entitled to a proportional refund of any pre-paid fees for the part of the subscription period falling after the effective date of termination.
- The Customer may decrease the number of WEIQ Terminals only after the initial contract period has expired.

13. Security
- WEIQ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain adequate administrative, physical, and technical security measures in connection with the provision of the Service.

For more extensive or customised data export requests, WEIQ may charge consulting fees according to the applicable price list.
- Following the last active subscription day, WEIQ will retain Customer Data for a period of 18 months solely for the purposes of (a) enabling reactivation of the subscription should the Customer choose to resume the Service, (b) handling support cases relating to the prior subscription, and (c) responding to End Customer inquiries. After this 18-month period, WEIQ may permanently delete the Customer Data. The Customer remains responsible for ensuring that all Customer Data it wishes to retain has been exported before the end of the 18-month retention period.
14. Support
- The subscription ensures that the Customer has access to the latest versions of the Service and also entitles the Customer to receive support.
- Unless otherwise agreed, WEIQ provides support via the internet, email, and phone during business hours, Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00, excluding holidays. WEIQ reserves the right to close support on the day before a public holiday, in which case this will be communicated through system messages via email, SMS, or the Admin Interface. Email queries are normally answered by the following business day. Phone queries are prioritised based on their arrival time. Contact details for support are available at www.weiq.tech.
- WEIQ’s support obligations do not extend to: (a) providing instructions or training where the relevant information is available in the Service’s help texts, workflows, or other documentation; (b) making customer-specific adjustments to the Service; (c) rectifying errors caused by the Customer or any third party, including errors resulting from improper handling, third-party products or services connected to the Service, malicious code, or deficiencies in the Customer’s own technical equipment; or (d) rectifying errors in networks, operating systems, or other third-party software.
- WEIQ reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to decline support requests that fall outside the scope of what is reasonably covered by the applicable Subscription Fee.
15. Intellectual Property Rights
- WEIQ — or its licensors — is the sole owner of all intellectual property rights related to the Service (”IPR”). IPR includes, but is not limited to, copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade names, designs, product designs, source code, databases, business plans, and know-how, whether registered or not. All documentation, including manuals, user guides, or other written, electronic, or non-electronic descriptions of how the Service is structured and used, is considered part of the Service and is subject to the same restrictions. All copyrights, trademarks, registered trademarks, product names, trade names, or logos listed in the Service or in connection with the Service are the property of their respective owners.
- WEIQ does not claim any intellectual property rights or ownership of any kind to Customer Data that is transferred to the Service.
- The Service may be integrated with third-party applications, websites, and services (”Third-Party Applications”), to make content, products, and/or services available. These Third-Party Applications may have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and the use of these Third-Party Applications is governed by and subject to such terms and privacy policies. WEIQ does not endorse or assume responsibility for the behaviour, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction the Customer may enter into with the provider of such Third-Party Applications. Likewise, links to websites not owned or controlled by WEIQ that may appear in the Service or related documentation are provided for convenience only, and WEIQ assumes no responsibility for such websites or their content.
- The Customer grants WEIQ a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify (solely for technical purposes such as formatting and display), and communicate to End Customers the content, data, images, and information that the Customer uploads to or makes available through the Service, solely for the purpose of providing the Service to the Customer and its End Customers in accordance with the Agreement. This license terminates upon termination of the Agreement, subject to the data retention provisions in Section 13.
- If the Customer infringes on WEIQ’s IPR, the Customer shall pay a contractual penalty corresponding to the Subscription Fee for five years calculated on the basis of the Subscription Fee applicable at the time of the breach. The contractual penalty shall not constitute the sole or exclusive remedy for such breach and shall not limit WEIQ’s right to claim damages for actual losses to the extent such losses exceed the contractual penalty amount. WEIQ is accordingly entitled to seek any remedies available under Swedish law for the protection of IPR. The same applies if the Customer has, or has attempted to obtain, information or data to which the Customer is not entitled under the Agreement.
16. Third-Party Claims
- Where a third party makes a claim or initiates a lawsuit against WEIQ alleging that Customer Data or the Customer’s use of the Service infringes or violates the third party’s patent, copyright, or other intellectual property rights, or violates applicable laws, the Customer shall defend WEIQ against such claim. WEIQ shall promptly notify the Customer of any such claim. The Customer shall indemnify WEIQ for all damages, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees finally awarded against WEIQ or agreed in a settlement approved by the Customer, provided that (a) WEIQ cooperates with the Customer at the Customer’s expense, (b) the Customer is given sole control of the defence and any settlement, and (c) the settlement fully releases WEIQ from all liability in connection with the claim.
- Where a third party makes a claim or initiates a lawsuit against the Customer alleging that the Service, as provided by WEIQ and used by the Customer in accordance with the Agreement, infringes the third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret rights under Swedish law, WEIQ shall defend the Customer against such claim. The Customer shall immediately notify WEIQ of any such claim and grant WEIQ sole control of the defence and any settlement, provided that any settlement shall not impose any obligation on the Customer without the Customer’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). WEIQ shall indemnify the Customer for all damages, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees finally awarded against the Customer or agreed in a settlement approved by WEIQ. If the Service becomes, or in WEIQ’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, WEIQ may, at its option, (a) procure the right for the Customer to continue using the Service, (b) modify the Service so as to make it non-infringing while preserving substantially equivalent functionality, or (c) terminate the affected portion of the Service and refund any pre-paid fees corresponding to the unused period. This Section 16.2 states WEIQ’s entire liability and the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any third-party intellectual property claims relating to the Service.
17. Confidentiality
- Each party undertakes not to disclose to third parties any Confidential Information it receives from the other party and to use such Confidential Information only for the fulfilment of the Agreement, except as required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party prompt notice of such requirement to allow the other party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
- For the purposes of these GTC, ”Confidential Information” means business secret information including, but not limited to, trade secrets, know-how and software code in whatever form provided by any party under the Agreement, except for (i) information that is in the public domain or becomes public knowledge other than through a breach of the Agreement, (ii) information that the receiving party can demonstrate that it knew before receiving it from the other party, and (iii) information that the receiving party received from a third party without being bound by confidentiality in relation to that third party.
- Each party undertakes to ensure that its employees, consultants, directors and other officers are aware of and undertake to comply with the confidentiality undertaking in this Section 17.
- The confidentiality obligation of each party under the Agreement applies during the term of the Agreement and for a period of five years after the Agreement has terminated.
18. Warranty and warranty limitation
- WEIQ warrants that the Service will function substantially as described. WEIQ does not warrant that the Service meets the Customer’s specific requirements or purposes, that it functions correctly with the Customer’s chosen equipment, systems, or settings, or that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. WEIQ further does not warrant that the Service will function correctly where the Customer’s browsers, PDF readers, antivirus programs, firewalls, or other third-party programs used to access the Service are not properly configured to allow traffic to the Service. The Service is provided on an ”as is” basis, and WEIQ disclaims any express or implied warranty regarding suitability for a particular purpose or system integration capacity.
- If the Service does not function in accordance with the above limited warranty, WEIQ will correct any identified errors or deficiencies in the Service at its own expense. WEIQ will address reported errors that significantly impact the functionality of the Service as soon as reasonably possible. WEIQ will address errors that do not significantly impact the Customer’s use of the Service at the earliest during the next official release of the Service.
19. Limitation of Liability
- WEIQ is not responsible for the content or ownership of Customer Data, nor for any instructions or actions performed by the Customer through the Service, including the User Application, the WEIQ Terminal, any device running WEIQ Tap2Pay, and the Admin Interface.
- WEIQ shall not be liable for indirect losses or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of production, loss of revenue or profit, or third-party claims or regulatory decisions, even if the Customer was informed of the risk of such damages. WEIQ’s liability under the Agreement is limited to direct damages. Nothing in this Section 19 shall limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable mandatory law.
- WEIQ’s total liability under the Agreement during each contract period shall not exceed an amount corresponding to two months of Subscription Fees for the Service during the same period.
- Without limiting the foregoing, WEIQ is not liable for any costs incurred by the Customer arising from (a) service interruptions, whether planned or unplanned, (b) security incidents or breaches affecting the Service, (c) errors or interruptions in the internet, networks, operating systems, or other third-party software or services used to access or interact with the Service, or (d) unauthorised access to or alteration of Customer Data or transmissions by third parties.
- Neither party shall be liable for delays or interruptions caused by a force majeure event, including earthquakes, riots, labour disputes, pandemics, war, cyberattacks, or other events outside the affected party’s reasonable control. Where laws, regulations, or directives are amended or become applicable after the Service has been made available and prevent WEIQ from performing its obligations under the Agreement or require the Service to be suspended, such event shall be considered a force majeure event. In such cases, the Customer shall be refunded for any Subscription Fees paid in advance for the affected Service from the month following the suspension and shall have no further claims against WEIQ.
- Without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities under Section 8.8, WEIQ shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or discrepancy arising from data imported, migrated, or otherwise introduced into the Service from any third-party system or external source, including but not limited to gift cards, balances, codes, or transaction history. Without limitation, WEIQ shall have no liability for invalid or duplicate gift card codes, incorrect balances, failed, partial, or duplicate redemptions, fraud or unauthorised use, or reconciliation or accounting discrepancies. This Section 19.6 applies exclusively to issues arising from the inherent properties, accuracy, or completeness of the imported data itself, and does not exclude WEIQ’s liability for errors caused by defects in the Service’s processing, storage, or handling of imported data attributable to WEIQ’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
20. Specific terms for WEIQ Terminal
- The WEIQ Terminal is at all times the property of WEIQ. The Customer is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the WEIQ Terminal solely for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement and only during the subscription period. The Customer acquires no ownership rights to the WEIQ Terminal.
- WEIQ provides the WEIQ Terminal as technical equipment only. WEIQ shall not be responsible for ensuring the Customer’s compliance with any laws, regulations, or rules applicable to POS systems, cash registers, payment terminals, or similar equipment, including, without limitation, any requirement in the Customer’s jurisdiction to register such systems with the relevant tax authority.
- The Customer is responsible for returning WEIQ Terminals to WEIQ within one month (a) where the WEIQ Terminal is dysfunctional or unusable, or (b) upon expiry or termination of the Agreement. For WEIQ Terminals not returned within one month after the Agreement has ended, WEIQ reserves the right to invoice the Customer the cost of the WEIQ Terminal in accordance with the current price list. The Customer shall exercise due care in its use of the WEIQ Terminal. Upon return of the WEIQ Terminal, the Customer shall compensate WEIQ for any damage exceeding ordinary wear and tear, as assessed by WEIQ in its reasonable discretion. The amount of such compensation shall be determined by WEIQ on the basis of the cost of repair or replacement, as applicable.

WEIQ is not a party to any such agreement and assumes no obligations or liability under it. WEIQ gives no warranties of any kind regarding services provided under such an agreement, and is not liable for any acts or omissions of such third-party service provider.
21. Costs related to Payment Service Provider
- WEIQ shall not be held responsible for any costs, fees, or charges imposed by the Payment Service Provider or its subsidiaries (such as card networks, issuing banks, or acquiring banks), including but not limited to chargebacks, dispute fees, or any other transaction-related costs. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such costs incurred in connection with the use of the Payment Service Provider’s services shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer, and WEIQ reserves the right to pass on or directly charge such costs to the Customer. WEIQ shall provide the Customer with reasonable supporting documentation for any such pass-through charges upon request.
- The Customer shall indemnify and hold WEIQ harmless from any losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), or fines incurred by WEIQ as a result of (a) chargebacks, disputes, or fines imposed by the Payment Service Provider, acquirer, or issuing bank in connection with the Customer’s transactions, or (b) the Customer’s breach of the terms of its agreement with the Payment Service Provider.
22. Miscellaneous
- The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, undertakings, and representations, whether oral or written, relating to its subject matter. The Customer has not relied, and is not entitled to rely, on any statement, representation, or warranty other than those expressly set out in the Agreement.
- If any provision of the Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall, to the extent possible, be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original purpose of the invalid provision.
- A party’s failure to exercise any right under the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right.
23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
- The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement through good-faith negotiations. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days from one party’s written notice to the other party requesting such negotiation, the dispute shall be finally settled by the Swedish general courts, with Malmö District Court (Sw. Malmö tingsrätt) as the court of first instance.
