Klarna’s discretion
Klarna determines, in its reasonable discretion, if your claim is eligible for the Buyers Protection Policy.
Your claims DO NOT QUALIFY for a refund under Klarna’s Buyers Protection Policy under any of the following conditions:
The defect in the purchased goods was correctly described by the seller in its description of the item. For example: The phone you bought has a broken screen which was highlighted in the store’s description.
Your ordered food does not match your personal expectations but does match common requirements. For example: The ice cream is not as creamy as you expected it to be. The burger does not look exactly like the advertised picture.
You ordered the wrong color or material for a ‘made-to-order’ item
A product you purchased does not meet your expectations regarding quality or performance, but otherwise matches the store’s description. For example: You bought a TV, but the image quality is not as high as you expected it. It does however match the store’s description.
The product has minor scratches and was described as “used.” For example: You purchased a ‘used’ table that has some scratches.
You buy in-store and take the goods with you
You made your purchase online, but picked up the goods in-store
The store provided valid proof of delivery to the correct shipping location.
You have to ensure that it’s possible to deliver the goods to you. If your purchase could not be delivered, you’re not entitled to a refund. If you don’t pick up your delivery from the agreed pick-up location or don’t accept the delivery, after receiving a notification, you might be liable to pay a fee as set out in the store’ terms & conditions.
How to raise a claim under Klarna’s Buyers Protection Policy
Please follow the below instructions in order to receive support under Klarna’s Buyers Protection Policy.
Note: If you are waiting for your goods, make sure that you waited long enough to receive your package. Please allow for the goods to be delivered in accordance with the information that the store gives you. Also, note — depending on the store, you may have to pay a return fee if you don’t pick up the goods.
Klarna’s Buyer Protection Policy: Once you’ve reported a problem following the guide above, Klarna will pause your payment until the issue is solved. If you’ve fully or partially paid for a purchase upfront, we’ll refund your payment if the dispute is resolved in your favor. In the event of any refunds, we’ll return the funds to the same method of payment you used to make your payment.
Klarna’s Buyer Protection Policy is here to assure you that you can shop safely and securely with Klarna.
Please note that in the event that you have rights that fall under mandatory consumer protection legislation — and those go beyond what’s covered by Buyer Protection — those rights are not affected by this policy. If you use a card to make a Klarna purchase, this policy does not limit any rights you may have under applicable law or network rules to dispute a transaction with your card’s issuer.
Please further note that Klarna’s Buyer Protection does not affect the legal and contractual rights between you and the seller and is to be considered separately from them. Klarna does not act as an agent of the buyer (you) or seller. Klarna only decides on the claim under Klarna’s Buyer Protection. This also means that the seller can still take legal action against you even if you have been successful with your Buyer Protection claim and have been refunded by Klarna. Likewise, you can still take legal action against the seller if you have not been successful with your Buyer Protection claim and have not been refunded by Klarna.
This policy is in effect for eligible Klarna purchases made after 05.08.2023.
