General terms for Eyer Juridik legal services (2026:3)

1.1 Eyer Juridik provides a legal advisory service in which Eyer Juridik guides its clients on legal questions. These general terms apply to all services that Eyer Juridik (“Eyer Juridik”) provides to its clients.

1.2 By engaging Eyer Juridik you are deemed to have accepted these general terms.

1.3 Subject to clause 14.1, any deviation from these general terms must be agreed in writing in order to be enforceable.

2.1 By law, Eyer Juridik must verify, among other things, its clients’ identity and ownership structure and, in certain cases, the origin of funds and other assets. Eyer Juridik may therefore request identification documents in respect of you and the persons who represent you and, if you are a legal entity, the natural persons who ultimately control you (so-called beneficial owners), as well as documentation showing the origin of funds and other assets. Eyer Juridik is also obliged to verify the information provided and may for that purpose obtain information from external sources such as databases. All information and documentation collected as part of these checks will be retained by Eyer Juridik.

2.2 As a rule, Eyer Juridik also needs to process the personal data of your representatives and beneficial owners for the same purposes, and you are responsible for ensuring that these individuals accept such processing. Eyer Juridik is required by law to report suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing to the Swedish Financial Intelligence Unit and is prohibited from informing you that suspicions exist or that a report has been or may be filed. Where suspicions exist, Eyer Juridik is required to decline or withdraw from the engagement.

2.3 Eyer Juridik is the data controller for personal data collected in connection with engagement enquiries and engagements. How, for what purposes and for how long Eyer Juridik processes the data is set out in Eyer Juridik’s privacy policy.

2.4 If you are a legal entity, Eyer Juridik asks you to inform the natural persons who represent you in the engagement, as well as the natural persons who control you, that Eyer Juridik processes their personal data and to refer them to Eyer Juridik’s privacy policy. If you are a natural person represented by a proxy, Eyer Juridik asks you to do the same in relation to the natural persons who represent you.

3.1 By engaging Eyer Juridik you grant Eyer Juridik the right, unless you state otherwise, to take such actions as Eyer Juridik considers necessary or desirable to perform the engagement. For example, Eyer Juridik is entitled to engage other advisers and specialists on your behalf and to otherwise incur reasonable costs on your behalf. If Eyer Juridik engages other advisers or specialists, Eyer Juridik may request that you contract them directly and thereby assume direct liability for their fees and services.

4.1 For each engagement, Eyer Juridik has primary responsibility for the delivery of Eyer Juridik’s services. Eyer Juridik has full discretion to designate the lawyers and other personnel needed to handle the engagement to ensure it is performed in an appropriate manner.

4.2 Eyer Juridik’s services are tailored to the circumstances of each engagement, the facts presented and the instructions you give. You may therefore not rely on a particular piece of advice in connection with any other matter, or use it for any purpose other than that for which it was given.

5.1 Intellectual property rights in the documents and other work product that Eyer Juridik generates in connection with an engagement belong to Eyer Juridik, but you are entitled to use the work product for the purposes for which it was produced. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no document or other work product may be made publicly available or used for marketing purposes.

6.1 Eyer Juridik protects, in an appropriate manner and in accordance with good legal-professional practice, the information you provide to Eyer Juridik. In certain cases, however, Eyer Juridik is required by law to disclose such information. Good legal-professional practice also permits disclosure in certain situations.

6.2 Where Eyer Juridik performs an engagement for more than one client, Eyer Juridik is entitled to disclose to the other clients material and other information provided by one of the clients. In certain cases, Eyer Juridik also has a professional duty to share such material and information with the other clients.

6.3 If Eyer Juridik engages or collaborates with other advisers or specialists in the engagement, Eyer Juridik is entitled to disclose to them material and information that Eyer Juridik considers relevant for the adviser or specialist to be able to advise or otherwise provide services to you. The same applies to material and information obtained as a result of the checks and verifications carried out under clause 2.1.

6.4 If Eyer Juridik does not charge VAT on its services to you, Eyer Juridik is in certain cases required by law to provide the tax authorities with information about your VAT number and the value of the services delivered. By engaging Eyer Juridik you are deemed to have consented to Eyer Juridik providing such information to the tax authorities.

6.5 Once a matter has become public knowledge, Eyer Juridik is entitled to disclose, in its marketing and on its website, information about its involvement in it and other publicly known information about the matter.

7.1 Eyer Juridik’s fees are normally invoiced and determined on the basis of several factors, such as the time spent, complexity, the expertise, skill, experience and resources required, the values involved, any risks, time pressure and the result achieved – what is considered reasonable in each case.

7.2 Where possible, Eyer Juridik may, prior to an engagement and at your request, provide an estimate of the fees that may be charged and keep you informed about fees as they are incurred. An estimate is based on the information available to Eyer Juridik at the time and is not a fixed-price quote.

7.3 In addition to fees, Eyer Juridik charges for expenses. These may include, for example, registration fees, investigation costs, costs for other advisers and specialists, courier and travel costs, costs for hired-in staff, catering, copying, fax and telephone.

7.4 In addition to fees and expenses, VAT is normally charged where Eyer Juridik is required to charge it.

8.1 As a rule, Eyer Juridik invoices you monthly. Invoices may be either on account or final. An on-account invoice does not necessarily reflect an exact estimate of the amount due for the services Eyer Juridik has performed. Where Eyer Juridik has invoiced you on account, the final invoice will set out the total fee for the engagement (or part of it) less the fees invoiced on account.

8.2 In certain cases Eyer Juridik will request advance payment for fees and expenses. Amounts paid in advance will be used to settle future invoices. The total amount for the services and expenses may be higher or lower than the advance amount.

8.3 Each invoice sets out a due date. The due date is normally no earlier than ten (10) days from the invoice date. In the event of late payment, default interest is charged at the rate set out in the Swedish Interest Act from the due date until payment is received.

8.4 In court proceedings and arbitration the losing party may be ordered to pay the winning party’s costs (including legal fees). It is, however, rare for all of the winning party’s costs to be recoverable. Whether you are the winning or losing party, you must still pay for the services Eyer Juridik has performed and for the costs incurred in representing you.

8.5 If Eyer Juridik’s fees and expenses are to be financed through legal-expenses insurance, you must still pay for the fees and expenses to the extent they exceed what is paid out under the insurance.

8.6 If you ask Eyer Juridik to address an invoice to someone else, Eyer Juridik may agree to do so only on condition that it is clearly not unlawful, that the identity and other circumstances referred to in clause 2 have been verified for the invoice recipient and that you, if Eyer Juridik so requests, immediately pay any amounts that have not been paid by the due date. No client relationship arises between Eyer Juridik and the invoice recipient.

9.1 Eyer Juridik is not liable for damage caused to you as a result of error or negligence in legal advice provided by Eyer Juridik. Should Eyer Juridik nevertheless be deemed liable in damages, such liability is limited in amount to what the client has paid for Eyer Juridik’s advice during the most recent six months.

9.2 Eyer Juridik shall under no circumstances be liable for lost production, profit or any other indirect damage, loss, consequential damage or consequential loss.

9.3 Eyer Juridik’s liability shall be reduced by amounts that you may receive under any insurance you have taken out or that otherwise covers you, or under any agreement or indemnity to which you are party or beneficiary, provided that this is not incompatible with the relevant terms and that your rights under the insurance, agreement or indemnity are not restricted.

9.4 Other external partners and specialists shall be considered independent of Eyer Juridik regardless of whether Eyer Juridik has engaged them or whether you have contracted them directly. Eyer Juridik is therefore not liable for other partners or specialists, whether for the selection of them, for having recommended them or for the advice and other services they provide. This applies regardless of whether they report to Eyer Juridik or to you.

9.5 If you have accepted a disclaimer or limitation of liability in relation to any other adviser or specialist, Eyer Juridik’s liability shall be reduced by the amount Eyer Juridik could have recovered from that partner or specialist had liability not been excluded or limited, regardless of whether the partner or specialist would have been able to pay the amount.

9.6 Eyer Juridik shall not be liable for damage arising from your use of Eyer Juridik’s work product or advice in any other context or for any other purpose than that for which it was given. Unless otherwise provided in clause 9.10, Eyer Juridik is not liable for damage suffered by third parties as a result of your use of Eyer Juridik’s work product or advice.

9.7 Eyer Juridik is not liable for damage caused to you by being subject to or risking being subject to tax as a consequence of the services Eyer Juridik has provided.

9.8 Eyer Juridik cannot be held liable for damage arising as a result of Eyer Juridik having complied with applicable good practice in the legal services market.

9.9 Eyer Juridik is not liable for damage arising as a result of circumstances beyond Eyer Juridik’s control which Eyer Juridik could not reasonably have anticipated at the time of accepting the engagement and the consequences of which Eyer Juridik could not reasonably have avoided or overcome.

9.10 If, at your request, Eyer Juridik permits a third party to rely on Eyer Juridik’s work product or advice, this shall not increase Eyer Juridik’s liability or otherwise affect it to Eyer Juridik’s detriment. Eyer Juridik may be held liable in relation to such third parties.

10.1 If for any reason you are dissatisfied with Eyer Juridik’s services and wish to make a complaint, Eyer Juridik asks you to notify the responsible engagement partner as soon as possible, within 30 days from when the dissatisfaction arose.

10.2 Claims related to advice provided by Eyer Juridik shall be made to the responsible engagement partner as soon as you have become aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim. Claims may not be made later than 90 days after the later of (i) the date of Eyer Juridik’s last invoice for the engagement to which the claim relates and (ii) the date on which the circumstances giving rise to the claim became known or could have become known to you had you carried out reasonable investigations.

10.3 If your claim is based on a claim made against you by an authority or other third party, Eyer Juridik or its insurer shall be entitled to respond to, settle and conclude the claim on your behalf, provided that Eyer Juridik (taking into account the limitations of liability in these terms and, where applicable, in the engagement letter) holds you harmless. If you respond, settle, agree or otherwise take any action regarding such a claim without Eyer Juridik’s consent, Eyer Juridik shall have no liability for the claim.

10.4 If Eyer Juridik or its insurer pays compensation to you in respect of your claim, you shall, as a condition of payment, transfer to Eyer Juridik or its insurer the right of recourse against third parties by way of subrogation or assignment.

11.1 You may terminate the engagement with Eyer Juridik at any time by requesting in writing that Eyer Juridik withdraws from the engagement. You must, however, pay for the services Eyer Juridik has performed and the costs Eyer Juridik has incurred before the engagement ended. The notice period is 14 days, and the client shall bear the costs of winding down the engagement in accordance with good practice in the legal services market.

11.2 Eyer Juridik is entitled or required to decline or withdraw from an engagement. This may, for example, be the case in the event of unsatisfactory client identification, suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing, conflict of interest, non-payment, lack of instructions or where the trust between Eyer Juridik and client no longer exists. If Eyer Juridik withdraws, you must nonetheless pay for the services Eyer Juridik has performed and the costs incurred before withdrawal. The notice period is 14 days, and the client shall bear the costs of winding down the engagement in accordance with good practice in the legal services market.

12.1 When an engagement has been completed or otherwise ended, Eyer Juridik will archive (at Eyer Juridik or with a third party, and in physical or electronic form) substantially all documents and work product accumulated and generated in the engagement. The documents and work product will be archived for the period that, in Eyer Juridik’s view, is required by the nature of the engagement, but never for a shorter period than required by law.

12.2 Since Eyer Juridik is required to archive virtually all documents and work product accumulated or generated in the engagement, Eyer Juridik cannot accommodate a request to return (without making and retaining a copy) or destroy a document or work product before the archiving period has expired. If you ask Eyer Juridik to clear an electronic file in Eyer Juridik’s document management system, Eyer Juridik will comply with your request to the extent permitted by law (but in such cases will retain a paper copy of the deleted documents or save them on some electronic storage medium) and for a fee. Eyer Juridik is entitled to compensation according to its engagement tariff.

12.3 Unless otherwise specifically agreed, Eyer Juridik will return all original documents to you when an engagement is completed or otherwise ended. Eyer Juridik may, however, retain a copy of the original documents.

13.1 These general terms may be amended by Eyer Juridik from time to time. The current version is always available on request from Eyer Juridik. Amendments apply only to engagements commenced after the amended version has been published on Eyer Juridik’s website.

13.2 If an engagement letter has been provided to you in connection with a specific engagement, the terms of the engagement letter shall prevail over these general terms to the extent that they are inconsistent.

14.1 These general terms and (where applicable) the engagement letter, and any matters arising from them, Eyer Juridik’s engagements and Eyer Juridik’s services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Swedish substantive law.

14.2 Any dispute arising out of these general terms, the engagement letter (where applicable), Eyer Juridik’s engagements or services shall first be sought to be resolved through negotiation between the parties and thereafter finally settled by a general court. The forum is the Gothenburg District Court. The language used shall be Swedish unless the parties agree otherwise.

14.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eyer Juridik is entitled to bring proceedings concerning overdue claims in any court that has jurisdiction over you or any of your assets. Eyer Juridik also has the right to sell the invoice to a third party.
