Terms and Conditions

Swedish Match North Europe AB, corp. reg. no. 556571-6924, Swedish VAT number: SE55657169240, SE-118 85 Stockholm, Sweden (“Swedish Match”) operates the www.zyn.com website (the “Website”) (except for the subdomain zyn.com/us/en/). Products from Swedish Match can be purchased through the Website. 

You can contact us by writing to us at customerservice@swedishmatch.com or Swedish Match North Europe AB, SE-118 85 Stockholm, Sweden.

These general terms and conditions of purchase (the “Terms”) apply for all orders of products completed by consumers (that is, persons acting outside the scope of their trade or profession) through the Website. 

By placing your order, you confirm that you have read, accepted and agreed to comply with these Terms. 

Provided that you are habitually resident in an EEA country, and are acting wholly or mainly outside your business, nothing in these Terms shall exclude or restrict the mandatory rights that you as a consumer have under the laws of the country in which you are habitually resident.

These Terms will be governed by Swedish law, but if you are acting outside the scope of your trade or profession, Swedish law will not be applied so as to deprive you of the consumer protection you would otherwise have by the mandatory laws of the country in which you are habitually resident. You can bring legal proceedings in the Swedish courts, or if you are habitually resident in any country in the EEA, in the courts of that country.

Swedish Match treats your personal data in accordance with Swedish Match’s Privacy Notice.

By completing an order, you accept these Terms. A contract (purchase agreement) is not entered into until your order has been confirmed by Swedish Match through a confirmation email to the address you stated on your order.

Note that you must have reached the age of eighteen (18) years old to enter into an agreement with Swedish Match and that agreements are only entered into with consumers who have a delivery address in Sweden or in one of the other countries to which Swedish Match delivers ZYN at the order date.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because your age verification is not satisfactory, because of unexpected limits on our resources, because your payment is not accepted, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product, because the product is out of stock or because we are unable to meet our usual delivery deadline or any suspicion of any irregularities or misuse of our ordering services.

To place an order, you may either need to provide evidence of your age or confirm that you are above 18, both when you enter the Website and also when you place an order. The reason for this is that ZYN is a product solely intended for adults aged 18 or older. The age verifying procedure may vary depending on from which country you place the order.

If Swedish Match is not satisfied that you are over 18 and not ordering on behalf of someone under 18, you will not be allowed to place an order. If you place an order, we may at any time reject an order, even after confirmation, if we consider that you are under 18 or placing an order for someone under 18.

Actions which Swedish Match considers to be a criminal offence, such as orders placed in another person’s name, will be reported to the police.

The images of the products and their packaging on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Your product and/ or its packaging may vary slightly from those images. Swedish Match may change the product to reflect changes in the relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

All prices on the Website are given in the stated currency.

Separate charges may apply for invoicing, payment by installments and for unclaimed packages. Before completing your order at the checkout, you have to choose the delivery method, after which the total price payable, including shipping costs, will be calculated. The total price is calculated automatically based on your selections and is presented prior to your completion of the order. 

Any inaccurately stated prices may be corrected when Swedish Match sends a confirmation to your e-mail address. If the price is changed from that previously provided to you, this will be made clear to you and you will be asked to confirm that you still want to go-ahead with the order. If you accept the order with the changed price, the contract will then come into existence between you and Swedish Match.

Payment on the Website is made via Swedish Match’s payment partner Klarna Bank AB (publ) (556737-0431, Sveavägen 46, SE-111 34 Stockholm, Sweden) (“Klarna”).

Swedish Match imposes no extra charges for any of the payment options. Klarna may apply charges for some of the payment options and, if so, will state those charges in conjunction with the purchase.

The information that you need to provide for identification purposes may vary between purchases and between customers. By providing information during checkout you also accept Klarna’s terms and conditions and Klarna’s Privacy Notice.
