6.1 You may share information about card transactions with other users and in that way make it possible for other Users to gather their card transactions in a group in order to share joint expenses directly in the group through a Settlement Payment. Group members and card transactions can be added at any time after a group has been created until that group is deleted, but members cannot be removed from or leave a group. A group can be deleted at any time by a group member, which means that that group is deleted for all members of the group and that all transaction history in the group is deleted. However, the executed card transaction information remains in the individual users’ own transaction history and can, if necessary, be re-added to one or more groups.
6.2 All members of a group can see all of the card transactions that the group members have added to the group. A group member can at all times track the total sum of the card transactions that each and every one of the group members have added to that group ("Group Balance"). The total sum of all card transactions that group members have added to the group and how the Group Balance is distributed to the group members as set out in point 6.3 below.
6.3 Each individual member's share of the Group Balance is calculated according to the equation below where a positive balance means that the group member has paid more than his/her share of the Group Balance and a negative balance means that the group member has paid less than his /her share of the Group Balance:
-a/b+c+d-e = Group Balance
a = the sum of all transactions added by the members of the group, b = number of members of the group, c = the sum of the transactions in the group added by the group member and d = the sum of the Settlement Payments made by a group member and charged his/hers P.F.C. Account and e = the sum of the Settlement Payments received by the group member and credited to his/her P.F.C. Account.
6.4 Groups shall only be considered an aid to keep track of and calculate the distribution of shared expenses and to easily transfer money between members of a group. The use of a group does not result in any debts among the members of a group or between the group members and us. We have no responsibility for or connection to any underlying debt relationship between possible debts among the members of the group and the numbers of which the calculations are based on. We will not offer any aid (except for the transaction history) if a user wishes specifications to be able to calculate the financial situation between the members of a group.

You can choose between different options for when and how much money to earmark for a specific goal. The purpose of the feature Goals is that the funds earmarked for a specific goal shall be used for future Payment Transactions at the time specified by you. You can remove the earmark of the funds at any given time which makes the funds available for Payment Transactions.
7.2 You may not save funds without purpose and indefinitely by earmarking them in a goal or by placing funds on the P.F.C. Account or Duo Account for indefinite time.

35.3 You are not entitled to transfer any rights or obligations under these terms and conditions without our prior written consent. However, we have the right to transfer our respective rights and obligations under these conditions to a third party. We shall inform you about the transfer in writing.
36.1 Swedish is used for the contractual relationship and communication between the parties. Written messages from us to you are sent primarily by notice to your account in the App and shall be deemed to have been received by you no later than the following day. It is therefore important that you ensure that you have enabled the notification features via the App for notifications to your e-mail address, mobile phone, and user account in the App. Messages that are not considered urgent may be sent to you by email or text message to the email address or phone number specified by you in the contact information in the App. We will only send information to the contact information you have provided in the App. We may not be held liable for notifications that have not been obtained by you because you have entered incorrect or outdated contact information. We may in specific cases also correspond with you by letter to your registered mail address.
36.2 If we suspect unauthorized use of the Service or security information, we may contact you in other ways than stated above, provided that we find it suitable in the individual case. We may for example ask about if a specific transaction has been made or which date a specific transaction was made. We will never ask you to provide security information such as codes.
37.1 Under the Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts (2005:59) (Sw. lag om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler), you are entitled to withdraw certain financial services with us (withdrawal) if the agreement has been concluded at a distance or elsewhere than in our business premises. The right of withdrawal for agreements outside our business premises is valid only if the price that you will pay in total under the agreement exceeds 400 SEK. Distance agreement is an agreement where we and the customer have not met personally, e.g., when contracts are concluded via the Internet.
37.2 If you want to exercise their right of withdrawal under the law may do so by sending a message to us within 14 days from the date of the agreement with us or from the date you received these terms and conditions if at a later date than upon entering into the agreement. The right to withdrawal only applies to these general terms and conditions and not the transactions made before you exercised your right of withdrawal.
37.3 If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we have the right to compensation for the contracted service for the time you have had the service and for costs incurred before the right of withdrawal was exercised.
* Politically exposed persons (PEP)
The Act (2017:630) on Measures against Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (2017:630) (Sw. lagen om åtgärder mot penningvtätt och finansiering av terrorism) contains certain provisions for the establishment of business relations with politically exposed persons (PEP), including requirements for stricter measures to achieve knowledge about customers. The PTL defines a PEP as “a) physical person who has or has had an important public function in a state; and b) a physical person who has or has had a role in the management of an international organization.” Furthermore, the kind of provisions mentioned above shall also apply to a PEP’s family members and close associates. The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has issued supplementary regulations in this area (FFFS 2017:11).
The notion of important public function refers to functions held by:
a. heads of state or government, ministers and deputy and assistant ministers;
b. members of parliament;
c. members of the boards of political parties;
d. judges of the Supreme Court, constitutional courts or other high-level legal bodies whose judgments can only be appealed against in exceptional cases;
e. senior officials at audit authorities and members of central banks’ governing bodies;
f. ambassadors, heads of mission and high-ranking officers in the Armed Forces;
g. people included in the administration, management or supervision of state-owned companies; and
h. people in the management of international organizations.
Family members mean:
1. spouses;
2. registered partners;
3. cohabitants;
4. children;
5. children’s spouses, registered partners or cohabitants; and
6. parents.
Close associate means:
1. a physical person who, according to what is known or can reasonably be assumed, is jointly with a PEP a beneficial owner of legal entities or legal arrangements or who otherwise has or has had close links with a PEP; and
2. a physical person who is the sole beneficial owner of a legal entity or legal arrangement which, according to what is known or can reasonably be assumed, has actually been established in favor of a PEP.
The notion of close links in clause 1 refers to close business relationships and other relationships that may cause the close associate to be linked to an increased risk of money laundering or terrorist financing.
