Coala Solutions expressly disclaims all liability for errors and damages arising from the use of the Coala Heart Monitor and the Coala App and makes no warranties (express or implied) concerning the health information presented in connection with measurement.

Use of HjärtupplysningenTM services

Please note that Coala Solutions is not responsible and cannot be held responsible for the advice of the Heart Information Service or any other external healthcare provider in connection with your subscription. Healthcare professionals at Hjärtupplysningen are subject to the same laws and regulations on care as all other healthcare professionals in Sweden.

Coala subscriptions

There are two types of Coala subscriptions: Coala Basic and Coala Premium. Below in these Terms, “Coala Subscription” means either a Coala Basic subscription or a Coala Premium subscription. To use the Coala Heart Monitor, you must have a valid subscription.

Coala Basic subscription

A Coala Basic subscription consists of access to the Coala Heart Monitor via the Coala app. All subscriptions include an unlimited number of measurements as well as storage, and each subscription is individual and intended for use by the owner of the Coala Heart Monitor.

Coala Premium subscription

A Coala Premium subscription consists of access to the Coala Heart Monitor via the Coala app. In addition to the Basic features, Premium users gain access to Hjärtupplysningen™ and its staff who provide tailored user consultation over the phone based on the results of the ECG measurement, the user’s profile, and the anamnesis provided at the time of the consultation. All this together forms the basis for further analysis and support for the individual’s medical judgment from the healthcare provider.

When you choose to purchase a Coala Premium subscription, you give Hjärtupplysningen™ access to your heart data and stored results. Hjärtupplysningen™ can be reached by phone via the Coala app on non-holiday Mondays to Fridays between 08:00 and 21:00 (Central European Time). The Coala Premium subscription includes 12 phone consultations over a 12-month subscription period.

Please note: If a result shows a deviating ECG, Coala Solutions recommends that you repeat your recording according to the instructions in the user manual and, if necessary, contact your healthcare provider or 112 in case of an emergency. Hjärtupplysningen™ can serve as a point of contact for Premium users when they get a deviating result.

Ordering Coala subscription and contractual content

You can only apply for a Coala subscription if you are 18 years of age or older. You must also have a Swedish social security number, a smartphone, and an email account to be able to create a user account in the Coala app.  More information about the compatibility requirements can be found on the Website under the tab “questions and answers”.

You may only order one (1) Coala subscription for one (1) Coala Heart Monitor, by purchasing a Coala subscription through the Website. We acknowledge receipt of your application by sending an order confirmation to the email address you provided in connection with the application. When you receive a confirmation email from Coala Solutions, an agreement on the subscription has been concluded. However, we reserve the right to refrain from entering into a contract with a party without giving reasons. In such a case, no confirmation email will be sent, and we will instead notify you that we are refraining from entering into a contract with you.

Duration and termination of the agreement

When purchasing a Coala Heart Monitor, you also order a twelve (12) month subscription with the product (Basic or Premium subscription). After the twelve months, you can choose to extend the Coala Heart Monitor system with Basic or Premium subscriptions that can be 1, 6, 12, or 24 months long.

Ongoing subscriptions
A 1-month subscription automatically renews with a new subscription period of 1 month (ongoing subscription), unless the subscription is canceled. You can cancel your subscription at any time and it will expire the following month.

Fixed subscriptions
Subscription periods of 6, 12, or 24 months are fixed subscriptions, and will automatically end when they reach their end date unless you choose to extend your subscription.

Cancel subscriptions
To cancel an ongoing subscription, we ask you to visit My Pages and make the necessary changes to your subscription settings.

Subscriptions can be canceled before the subscription expires but are valid until the end date.

Please note that Coala Solutions reserves the right to cancel your Coala subscription without giving reasons, in which case Coala Solutions will refund all applicable prepayments.

After the subscription has reached its end date, Coala Solutions will retain your heart data for at least one (1) year for Basic subscribers and three (3) years for Premium subscribers. This allows you to use historical data when purchasing a future subscription. We refer to our Privacy Policy for more information on this matter.

If you wish to delete historical data stored at Coala Solutions, support should be contacted for this action to be carried out by our Privacy Policy.

Withdrawal

As a consumer, you have the right to cancel your purchase (right of withdrawal) made at a distance by the Act (2005:59) on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises. The withdrawal period is 14 days and starts to run the day after you have received the Coala Heart Monitor. The right of withdrawal means that you have the right to withdraw from the agreement within the withdrawal period without giving any reason, provided that the conditions for the right of withdrawal are met.

You have the right to open the packaging to examine the Coala Heart Monitor, to determine its functions and characteristics, but if a decrease in value has occurred because you have handled the Coala Heart Monitor to a greater extent than was necessary to establish its properties or function, you shall reimburse us for the decrease in value.

By accepting these terms and conditions, you agree to the commencement of your Coala Solutions subscription (which may be within the withdrawal period).

You may be liable for a part of the service that has been partially performed and/or used until you exercise the right of withdrawal.  If you exercise your right of withdrawal, you shall reimburse us for a pro-rata share of the agreed price and/or the ongoing fee for the time that the service was available before you exercised the right of withdrawal.  The compensation can be calculated based on the regular price of the service in question.

You exercise your right of withdrawal by contacting us within the withdrawal period and returning the unused Coala Heart Monitor to us without delay in accordance with the instructions of Coala Support. You may contact us through your account on the Website or by sending a message to info@coalasolutions.com or by posting to the following address: Coala Solutions AB, Östermalmstorg 1, 114 39 Stockholm. You can, but are not required to, use the standard form that we have developed for the exercise of the right of withdrawal. The form is available on our Website here.

If you choose to exercise your right of withdrawal, the Coala Heart Monitor shall be returned to us, in any way and well packaged, at the latest within 14 days from the day you notify us that you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal. You are responsible for the return costs when exercising the right of withdrawal.

If you return your Coala Heart Monitor by exercising your right of withdrawal, we will make a refund within 14 days from the date we received your notification that you wish to exercise the right of withdrawal, provided that we have also received a Coala Heart Monitor in return or that you have proven to us that the Coala Heart Monitor has been returned. We will refund the amount paid for Coala’s Heart Monitor and/or Coala Subscriptions, less any depreciation that has occurred due to your handling of the returned Coala Heart Monitor, delivery costs, and other overheads.

The payment method for the refund is the same as the one you have used for purchases unless you have expressly agreed otherwise with us.

Responsibility

If you are a consumer, our responsibility for the Coala subscriptions is described by applicable consumer law. Otherwise, we will only be liable for the violation of these Villkor and a total amount equal to your annual fee for the Coala subscription, unless the reason is serious negligence or willful misconduct. The restrictions do not apply to the extent that they limit your statutory rights as a consumer.

Reasons for exemption from liability

If the fulfillment of our obligations is materially blocked or prevented due to circumstances beyond our control, such as labor disputes, fire, lightning, terrorist attacks, changes in legislation, government intervention and failed or delayed subcontracting services due to the circumstances set forth herein, this shall constitute grounds for relief of liability which means that the date of validity is extended as well as relief from damages and other penalties. However, this shall not limit your rights under the Consumer Sales Act or other consumer protection legislation.
