Application<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These general terms and conditions apply to all services provided at any time by Wellstep AB, org.no 559322-5187 (&#8220;Wellstep&#8221;). These general terms and conditions supplement the provisions set out in the order confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions of the order confirmation and those of the General Terms and Conditions, the order confirmation shall prevail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2. Services<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wellstep offers wellness challenges for companies that want to motivate their employees to be more active and improve their health. The order confirmation specifies which challenge or challenges were ordered. The current selection and content are available on the Wellstep website.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The step challenge is a traditional approach to a fitness activity. Wellstep&#8217;s walking competition is simple and flexible, where participants record the number of steps they take throughout the day using their pedometer (in their pocket or via an app). Moreover, other types of activities such as cycling, weight training and floorball can be converted into steps to be credited to the walking competition.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Activity Challenge is a competition in which all participants are motivated to do physical activity for at least 30 minutes each day. The activity type is less important, what matters is that you do some physical activity. Each activity scores 1 point per minute and many companies decide to award prizes to participants who meet the 30-minute target, whether for the whole competition and\/or for each week.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to these, Wellstep also offers other challenges, such as diet challenges and combined health challenges, the content and structure of which are outlined in the respective descriptions on the website or in the order confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The services are provided through the website www.wellstep.se and the Wellstep app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. Ordering and confirmation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The services and pedometers can be ordered directly from the Wellstep website by filling in a form (https:\/\/www.wellstep.se\/en\/order\/) or by email or telephone. Once Wellstep receives an order, an order confirmation will be sent to the Customer. The Customer chooses the time for his\/her competition and the competition may continue for a maximum of one year.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. Access to services<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In order for participants to access the service, Wellstep needs the names, email addresses, and team assignments (for team competitions) of all participants. We can obtain this information in a variety of ways, but the most common is for the client\u2019s contact person to email us, for example, an Excel list containing the information.   We then add all participants (at no extra cost) and send out emails to all participants with login details and instructions a few days before the competition starts. It is the customer&#8217;s responsibility to ensure that the information provided to Wellstep is accurate and up to date. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alternatively, Wellstep can create a registration form so that participants can register themselves and enter their details. The registration page can be accessed through e.g. www.wellstep.se\/f\u00f6retagsnamn.   Registration can either be set up so that each participant registers, but more commonly one person in the team registers everyone in their team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. Pedometer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wellstep also offers pedometers for purchase. The pedometer can be ordered via our Customer Service or directly in the order form on our website. Pedometers purchased by the Customer from Wellstep are covered by a two (2) year warranty. The warranty does not apply to defects caused by misuse or external impact.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The pedometer will be delivered in good time before the start of the competition, usually within 10 days of the order date, but for larger orders, the delivery time may be slightly longer. A shipping charge will be applied per shipment, the customer chooses how many and to which addresses the pedometers will be sent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. Conducting the competition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During the competition, participants can choose to either log their steps\/activities manually from any pedometer\/app and calculate them via the wellstep.se website or by using the Wellstep app to log them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our activity challenge does not require any tools, as time and activity are recorded on Wellstep.se or in the Wellstep app. 1 minute scores 1 point and the goal is at least 30 minutes of activity\/day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the step challenge, participants can also choose to connect the app to a health service on their device\u2014such as Apple Health or Health Connect\u2014so that step data is automatically synced. Participants activate this connection themselves and can turn it off at any time in their device\u2019s settings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>7. Monitoring<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wellstep&#8217;s system allows participants to easily track their progress. Each participant has a personal page displaying their company\/organisation&#8217;s competition. There, participants can see how many steps\/activities or how many points have been earned in the activity challenge as well as individual and team scores. The walking competition also includes a map of the distance they have covered during the competition, the milestones passed and their next milestone.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8. Price and terms of payment<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The price for the relevant order is specified in the order confirmation. Prices are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once the competition has started, Wellstep will send an invoice for the entry fee and the participation fee based on the number of participants. Terms of payment are 30 days from the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Payment must be received by Wellstep no later than the due date stated on the applicable invoice. Should payment of compensation be delayed, Wellstep reserves the right to charge a penalty interest following \u00a7 6 of the Swedish Interest Act and to demand compensation for reminders and collection charges. If payment is not received within the specified time, Wellstep also has the right to cancel the ongoing competition until payment has been received.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>9. Cancellation and rebooking terms<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Client has the right to cancel a competition free of charge before it has been added to the Wellstep system. If the competition has already been registered, the start date and the payment may be postponed. If the Client chooses to cancel the competition completely at this stage, the entry fee will be invoiced.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In case of postponed or cancelled competitions where pedometers have already been delivered to the Customer, these will be invoiced. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>10. Support<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Contestants who have questions during the contest period may contact Wellstep support via email at: support@wellstep.se. Support queries will normally be answered within 24 hours during office hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>11.

The item must be returned to Wellstep, and after it has been inspected and approved, a replacement product will be sent to the customer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the Customer discovers other defects or flaws in the goods, other than defects discovered upon unpacking, these must be reported within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered, but no later than two (2) years from the date the goods were received.
