2. Characteristics of the product and typical risks

“Pay in 30 days” is a credit that allows you to pay thirty (30) days after the shipment of the goods/availability of the service by choosing Klarna as your payment method. The card you added at the point of purchase will be charged, thirty (30) days from the shipment of the goods/availability of the service.. The “Transaction Amount” is the value of your purchase. There are no interest charges with Pay in 30 days, and no fees when you follow your automatic payment schedule. If you are delayed in making a payment, we may charge late fees. Any missed instalments, including any added late fees, will be rolled over to the next scheduled due date. 

Payment is made by valid debit or credit card issued to you (no prepaid cards).

“Pay in 30 days” is a credit. A credit is a binding commitment and shall be reimbursed. If you miss a repayment this could have severe consequences for you, and Klarna can, amongst other actions: (a) charge the outstanding balance, including late fees, on your Pay later in 30 days purchase immediately, using any card we have on file for you or by a separate invoice; (b) employ a debt collection agency to receive payment and you will have to pay all reasonable costs (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Klarna and/or the debt collection agency; and (c) report default information to credit reporting agencies.

5. Complaints

For complaints regarding the Klarna Services, the information provided on https://www.klarna.com/it/ applies. 

If you have a complaint towards Klarna, you can submit your complaint to Klarna’s complaints office by regular mail to Klarna, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, or by e-mail to service@klarna.com.it. We will try to solve your complaint as soon as possible and in any case within 14 days. If we are unable to solve your complaint, or you have been dissatisfied with Klarna’s response, or have not received a response within the said time limit, you may choose between the following two routes to pursue your claim: 

You may address it to the Italian Banking Financial Arbitrator (Arbitro Bancario Finanziario or “ABF”). In a nutshell, the ABF is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) institution which is frequently used by customers in Italy because it is generally speedier and cheaper than the Court. Should you be dissatisfied by the ABF’s resolution or should Klarna not comply with a resolution which is favorable to you, you may still go to Court. For further information about the ABF you can either consult the website www.arbitrobancariofinanziario.it or enquiry the Branches of the Bank of Italy or Klarna; 

You may opt for the Court route rather than the arbitration alternative above, but you are obliged to first attempt finding a solution through a mediation procedure which you may start with:

The Italian Banking Financial Mediator (Conciliatore Bancario Finanziario or “CBF”). For further information about the CBF, please consult the website www.conciliatorebancario.it; or

One of the other available mediation bodies which are specialized in banking and financial matters, registered in the special register held by the Italian Ministry of Justice.
