Plintle is a web based digital platform where you can upload and store media content (“User Content”) through a third party media library provider (Vidispine AB) integrated on Plintle and where you can order our localization and subtitling services (the “Service”).
We can unfortunately not give you an unlimited right to store User Content. The from time-to-time applicable storage limitations and fees, if any, for storing User Content on Plintle will be made available to you on Plintle. You should not use Plintle as your sole storage for User Content. It shall only be used as a place to store User Content which you expect be the object for our Service.
Because we continuously develop our Service, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the Service hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions may be incorporated in a new version of these Terms or provided separately. Either way, such new terms and conditions then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services.

We reserve the right to make changes to Plintle at our sole discretion.
However, if you are a consumer and we make such changes to our digital service that are stated in mandatory Swedish consumer legislation (Konsumentköplagen [2022:260]) then we are required to have a valid reason to make such changes. Such valid reasons could encompass cases where the modification is necessary to adapt our digital content or digital service to a new technical environment or to an increased number of users or for other important operational reasons.

This means that you may be held liable for any violation of these Terms made by a third party accessing Plintle through your account and credentials.

YOUR ORDER
Through Plintle you may place an order to purchase our Services. You place an order by following the different steps as provided on Plintle, such as choosing language/s and which User Content to be subject of our Service.
The from time-to-time applicable rates for our Services are found on Plintle. The “duration” of the User Content to be subject for our Service denotes the full running time of any item of video or audio that forms part of the User Content and is calculated from the first frame of displayable video to the last, not including any part breaks but including all silences and pauses that form part of the User Content which is subject of our Service. Any partial minute of duration will be rounded up to the next minute.
All amounts quoted by us are based on our applicable rates and the information supplied by you when you prepare your order on Plintle.
Unless specifically stated, our rates do not include any usage fees (i.e., web rights, commercial advertisement rights, merchandising rights) for performers as required in certain countries.
Before placing an order, you will be able to review an order summary which contains a price quotation for the Service and an estimated time of delivery. Whilst we will try to fulfil any orders placed with us within any stated time, we shall not (save as otherwise required by law) be liable for the consequences of any delay or failure to deliver. The stated times for delivery are preliminary and may be subject to change.
We may or may not accept your order at our discretion. You will be notified if the order is not accepted.
When you place an order, you may provide us with additional information and requests, however, we are never bound by any such additional information or requests, even if we accept the order, but we will do our best to meet your expectations.
These Terms shall apply on all orders placed and confirmed through Plintle.
PAYMENT METHODS
The available payment methods are found on Plintle.
When preparing your order, you may choose from the different payment methods available for you. Sometimes we require a pre-payment in order to commence the project. All payments for Service are non-refundable since we start incurring costs as soon as soon as we accept an order made by you.
In the event of late payment, we reserve the right to apply an interest rate of 8 (eight) percent on an annual accrual basis for all past due amounts until payment is made in full.
PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE AND OUR DELIVERY
We will perform any Service with due care and in a professional manner.
You are responsible that the User Content which is the subject of our Service is of sufficient quality in order for us to perform our Service in a satisfactory manner (e.g., that the audio is of such quality that all words to be translated are easily heard). If we believe that the User Content does not allow us to perform our Service in a satisfactory manner, we will stop our Service and inform you that you need to provide us with User Content of better quality in order for us to resume the Service. We reserve the right to charge you an additional fee if this happens.
Since translation is a subjective process through which different individuals may express the same meaning using different word choices, we will not be liable for such variations, provided that reasonable persons proficient in the applicable language would deem all such word choices to be equally applicable.
You will be notified when the result of our Service (the “Material”) has been delivered and made available to you on Plintle.
In the unfortunate event that you have any complaints regarding the Material you may contact us no later than two (2) weeks after delivery and we will rectify any defect within reasonable time. We do not have any obligation to rectify a defect which you inform us about after the two (2) week period has expired.
To the extent allowed according to applicable law, what is stated above is your sole remedy against Material you find to be defective.

OWNERSHIP OF THE MATERIAL

CONSUMER RIGHTS
General
If you are deemed a consumer in accordance with Swedish legislation, we acknowledge that you may have mandatory rights which are greater than the rights provided in these Terms. In case of conflict between these Terms and mandatory consumer protective legislation the latter shall prevail.
The right to file a complaint
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these terms, if you are deemed a consumer in accordance with Swedish legislation and you have any complaints regarding the Material you may contact us within a reasonable time after detecting the defect, but no later than three (3) years after delivery.
If you wish to file a complaint regarding the Service, you shall send us a written notice by e-mail or by post on the contact details set forth below.
THE ACT ON DISTANCE CONTRACTS AND OFF-PREMISES CONTRACTS
If you are considered a consumer in accordance with the Swedish act “The Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts” (Sw. Lag [2005:5] om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler) (the “Act”) you have a right of withdrawal that can be exercised within fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of the contract pursuant to the Act.
However, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts regarding a Service which has been performed and delivered if the consumer has expressly consented to the service being commenced and has agreed that there is no right of withdrawal when the service has been performed.
The date on which our Services commence is the date when you enter into a binding agreement with us and the date when our Service is delivered is the date when the Material has been made available to you on Plintle.
By placing an order on Plintle you hereby expressly consent to service being commenced and you agree that there is no right of withdrawal when the Material has been made available to you.
If you wish to withdraw the purchase, during your period of right of withdrawal but always prior to our delivery of the Material, you shall send us a written notice within the abovementioned withdrawal period, where you clearly state that you want to withdraw your purchase as well as specify the order that you want to withdraw. You may send the written notice by e-mail or by post on the contact details set forth below, or you may use the standard form found here: https://www.konsumentverket.se/globalassets/publikationer/kontrakt-och-mallar/angerblankett-2021-konsumentverket.pdf.
If you exercise your right of withdrawal and you have a right for such withdrawal, you will be refunded any fees for the Service that you have paid in advance. However, you will still have to pay us a proportional amount of our fee corresponding to the work actually performed by us at the time of withdrawal.
