3.1 Introduction
These Assignment and Assumption Terms apply to the assignment and assumption of a Claim (or a part thereof) between a Lending company and an Investor whose assignment and assumption have been mediated by SaveLend through the SaveLend Marketplace. These Assignment and Assumption Terms also apply to the reassignment and assumption of a Claim (or a part thereof) from an Investor to another Investor mediated by SaveLend through the SaveLend Marketplace.
By offering a Claim (or a part thereof) for sale or accepting an Offer to purchase a Claim (or a part thereof) on the SaveLend Marketplace, each Lending company and each Investor accepts the general terms and conditions for assignment and assumption of claims applicable on the date of the registration of the Offer on the relevant User Account.
The specific terms for each individual assignment and assumption of a Claim (or part thereof) made through the SaveLend Marketplace will be concluded and documented through an automatically generated confirmation of assignment which will be made available on the relevant User Accounts.
3.2 Offering, assignment and assumption of Claims
3.2.1 The making of an Offer
A Lending Company offers to assign a Claim (or a part thereof) on the SaveLend Marketplace in accordance with the terms and conditions separately agreed with SaveLend.
A Reassigning Investor offers to assign a Claim (or a part thereof), and an Investor assumes a Claim (or a part thereof), on the SaveLend Marketplace in accordance with the General Provisions.
An Offer to assign a Claim (or a part thereof) is binding on the Lending company or the Reassigning Investor (as applicable) from and including the time of registration of the Claim for assignment on the User Account of the assignor to and including the earlier of (i) the last day of the term of the Offer and (ii) the day SaveLend has registered the outcome of the Offer on the relevant User Accounts.
3.2.2 Reassignment of an Assigned Claim
A Reassigning Investor who wants to reassign an Assigned Claim shall register an Offer in respect of the Assigned Claim on its User Account. When registering the Offer, the Reassigning Investor shall specify the details of the Assigned Claim, the term for the Offer and the Purchase Price. SaveLend will, on behalf of the Reassigning Investor, publish the Offer on the SaveLend Marketplace and thereby make the Offer available to the other Investors.
3.2.3 The acceptance of an Offer
An Investor, who wants to assume a Claim (or a part thereof), in accordance with an Offer, shall register its acceptance of the Offer on its User Account. The amount of the Claim accepted to be assumed by the Investor shall be specified on the Investor’s User Account. Alternatively, the Investor may use SaveLend’s automated assignment service to register acceptance of Offers based on a set of pre-selected rules chosen by the Investor on its User Account.
An Investor’s acceptance of an Offer is binding on the Investor until SaveLend has registered the outcome of the Offer on the relevant User Accounts.
An Investor cannot register its acceptance of an Offer if the Purchase Price for the part of the Claim to be assumed by the Investor exceeds the amount of available funds deposited by the Investor with SaveLend. Provided that there are sufficient funds deposited by the Investor, SaveLend shall reserve an amount corresponding to the Purchase Price for the account of the Lending company or Reassigning Investor (as applicable) immediately when the Investor registers its acceptance of the Offer on its User Account.
3.2.4 The assignment and the assumption
A Claim (or a part thereof) will be deemed assigned by a Lending company or a Reassigning Investor (as applicable) to an Investor, and will be deemed assumed by the Investor, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer and the General Provisions when the Investor has paid the Purchase Price in respect of the relevant part of the Claim and the assignment has been registered on the relevant User Accounts.
Any interest, received in respect of a Claim until the time of assignment, shall not be transferred from the Lending company or the Reassigning Investor (as applicable) to the Investor by the assignment of a Claim (or a part thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, only the interest related to an Assigned Claim received from the time of the assignment of the Claim (or the relevant part thereof), shall be transferred from the Lending company or the Reassigning Investor (as applicable) to the Investor.
The Lending company reserves its rights towards the Debtor for payment of interest as well as other Claims under a Loan Agreement or an Invoice to the extent that any such Claim is not assigned to an Investor.
3.3 Payment of the Purchase Price
The Purchase Price for the part of the Claim to be assumed by an Investor will be paid by way of SaveLend using the Funds deposited with SaveLend by the Investor and transferring an amount corresponding to the Purchase Price to the relevant Lending company or Reassigning Investor.
Any payment of the Purchase Price received by SaveLend on behalf of the Lending company shall be treated as “escrow funds” (Sw. redovisningsmedel) and shall be held separately for the account of the Lending company in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
3.4 Payment of the Lending company Interest
The Lending company shall pay the Lending company Interest in respect of an Assigned Claim on the dates specified in the Offer. Payment of the Lending company Interest shall be made to SaveLend. SaveLend shall receive the Lending company Interest on behalf of the Investor entitled thereto and distribute the amount to the Investor within five (5) Business Days.
SaveLend, or any third party appointed by SaveLend, is authorised by the Investor to, on behalf of the Investor, demand and collect from the Lending company any payment of the Lending company Interest fallen due.
3.5 Payments by the Debtor
After the assignment of a Claim (or a part thereof), the Debtor shall continue to make all payments under the Loan Agreement or the Invoice (as applicable) to the Lending company in its capacity as Administrator unless otherwise instructed by SaveLend (acting on behalf of the Investor). The Investor is aware that this arrangement constitutes a risk that the Assigned Claim will not be protected from the Lending company’s creditors in case of an Insolvency Event. Neither the Lending company (or an Reassigning Investor), the Administrator nor SaveLend shall incur any liability or be held responsible for the failure by the Debtor to comply with its payment obligations under a Loan Agreement or an Invoice (as applicable) and SaveLend shall not incur any liability in respect of an assignment of an Assigned Claim not being duly perfected.
SaveLend (acting on behalf of the Investor) may request that the Lending company notifies the Debtor of the assignment of a Claim (or a part thereof) and instruct the Debtor to make future payments in relation to the Assigned Claim to a successor Administrator. If such request is provided to the Lending company, the Lending company shall promptly send such notification and instruction to the Debtor. However, SaveLend shall always have the right to, on behalf of the Investor, give such notification and instruction directly to the Debtor.
3.6 Distribution of Funds
Any Funds received by the Administrator in respect of an Assigned Claim shall be distributed by the Administrator as follows:
(a) if all Claims under a Loan Agreement or an Invoice have been assigned, the Administrator shall transfer all Funds to the relevant Investor(s) through SaveLend; and
(b) if only a part of the Claims under a Loan Agreement or an Invoice has been assigned, Funds in the same proportion as the Assigned Claims bears to the Claims kept by the Lending company, shall be transferred to the relevant Investor(s) through SaveLend and the remaining part shall be retained by (or, if the Lending company is not the Administrator, transferred to) the Lending company.
Provided that if the Lending company Interest is less than the interest to be paid by the Debtor in respect of the Assigned Claims, an amount corresponding to the difference between the Lending company Interest and the interest paid in respect of the Assigned Claims shall be deducted from the payment to the Investors and retained by or transferred to (as applicable) the Lending company.
If the Lending company Interest exceeds the interest to be paid in respect of an Assigned Claim, the Lending company shall pay an amount corresponding to the difference between the Lending company Interest and the interest paid in respect of the Assigned Claims to SaveLend for distribution by SaveLend to the relevant Investor(s).
Upon receipt of Funds or Lending company Interest from the Administrator, SaveLend will distribute the Funds and the Lending company Interest among all the Investors having assumed a Claim (or a part thereof) arising from the relevant Loan Agreement or Invoice in the following order:
(i) first, in or towards payment pro rata by the relevant Investors of any unpaid amount owing to SaveLend in respect of the Assigned Claims;

SaveLend will normally give the Investor notice of any limitation, suspension or termination of a User Account but may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example we consider it advisable for security reasons), limit, suspend or terminate your user account without prior notice.
The Investor understands that the decision to limit, suspend, terminate or terminate a user account, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to risk management, anti-money laundering or other policies by SaveLend. SaveLend has no obligation to disclose the details of such policies and security procedures.
In the event that the SaveLend limits, suspends or terminates an Investor User Account, SaveLend will lift the suspension as soon as possible once the reasons for the suspension or termination no longer exist.

3 RISK PARTICIPATION IN LOANS BY GRANTING OF LENDING COMPANY LOANS
3.1 Introduction
SaveLend may act as an intermediary in respect of a Lending company Loan Offer originating from a Lending company.
A Lending company Loan Offer from a Lending company which has been approved by SaveLend will be published on the SaveLend Marketplace and Investors will be offered to grant a Lending company Loan to the Lending company.
An Investor, who wants to invest in Loans by granting a Lending company Loan to a Lending company on the basis of a Lending company Loan Offer, shall register its acceptance of the Lending company Loan Offer on its User Account. The amount of the Lending company Loan accepted to be granted by the Investor shall be specified on the Investor’s User Account. Alternatively, the Investor may use SaveLend’s automated assignment service to register its acceptance of a Lending company Loan Offer based on a set of pre-selected rules (of which Lending company Loan Offers to accept) chosen by the Investor on its User Account. An Investor cannot register its acceptance of a Lending company Loan Offer if the amount of the Lending company Loan to be granted by the Investor exceeds the amount of available funds deposited by the Investor with SaveLend. Provided that there are sufficient funds deposited by the Investor, SaveLend shall reserve an amount corresponding to the amount of the Lending company Loan to be granted by the Investor for the account of the relevant Lending company immediately when the Investor registers its acceptance of the Lending company Loan Offer on its User Account.
When one or more Investors have registered its acceptance to grant a Lending company Loan in a total amount corresponding to the requested loan amount set out in the Lending company Loan Offer (or an accepted minimum percentage of requested amount), and, where applicable, other terms set out in the Lending company Loan Offer have been met, the amount of the Lending company Loan will be paid out to the relevant Lending company by SaveLend.
The relevant Investors and Lending company will be deemed having entered into a Lending company Loan Agreement with each other in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Lending company Loan Offer, these Special Provisions and the General Provisions when the Investor accepts the Lending company Loan Offer in accordance with these terms. The specific terms for each Lending company Loan Agreement entered into with SaveLend as intermediary will be concluded and documented through an automatically generated confirmation of the Lending company Loan Agreement which will be made available on the relevant User Accounts.
3.2 Administration of payment of interest and fees under Lending company Loan Agreements
SaveLend will, on behalf of the Investor, administer any interest accruing on a Lending company Loan granted with SaveLend as intermediary and transfer any accrued interest due for payment in respect of such Lending company Loan to the Investor(s) entitled thereto.
Each Investor accepts that a payment of interest in respect of a Lending company Loan Agreement where there are several Investors will be distributed to all Investors pro rata to their part of the total amount of the Lending company Loan.
SaveLend, or any third party appointed by SaveLend, is authorised by each Investor to, on behalf of the Investor, collect from the relevant Lending company any payment, fees or interest fallen due in accordance with these terms.
SaveLend has the right to charge the Investor for all costs SaveLend has for administering the Lending company Loan Agreement entered into with SaveLend acting as intermediary.
In case the Lending company is replaced as Administrator, SaveLend has the right to charge the Investor for any fees and costs incurred in connection with the replacement and the new Administrator’s appointment.
3.3 Payments by the Debtor
After the disbursement of the Lending company Loan, the relevant Debtor to which the Lending company Loan is linked in accordance with the Lending company Loan Offer shall, for the avoidance of doubt, continue to make all payments under the relevant Loan Agreement to the Lending company in accordance with the terms thereof. The Investor is aware that the Lending company Loan is an unsecured loan to the Lending company and that this arrangement constitutes a risk that the Loan will not be protected from the Lending company’s creditors in case of an Insolvency Event. Neither the Lending company, the Administrator nor SaveLend shall incur any liability or be held responsible for the failure by the Debtor to comply with its payment obligations under a Loan Agreement.
3.4 Payment of the Lending company Interest
The Lending company shall pay the Lending company Interest in respect of a Lending company Loan on the dates specified in the Lending company Loan Offer, in each case provided that a corresponding amount of interest has been received by the Lending company on or prior to such date from the relevant Debtor under the relevant Loan Agreement. Payment of the Lending company Interest shall be made by the Lending company to SaveLend. SaveLend shall receive the Lending company Interest on behalf of the Investor entitled thereto and distribute the amount to the Investor within five (5) Business Days.
The Lending company reserves its rights to payment of interest as well as other Claims under a Loan Agreement to the extent that any such Claim relates to the period prior to the date of disbursement of the Lending company Loan. SaveLend, or any third party appointed by SaveLend, is authorised by the Investor to, on behalf of the Investor, demand and collect from the Lending company any payment of the Lending company Interest fallen due, in each case provided that the Lending company has received the relevant amounts from the relevant Debtor.
Any payment of the Lending company Interest received by SaveLend on behalf of an Investor shall be treated as “escrow funds” (Sw. redovisningsmedel) and shall be held separately for the account of the Investor in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
3.5 Payment and distribution of Funds
Funds received by the Administrator in respect of a Loan Agreement shall be distributed to the relevant Investor(s) in the same proportion as the Lending company Loan bears to the underlying Claims kept by the Lending company relating to the relevant Lending company Loan. Such amount shall be transferred to the relevant Investor(s) through SaveLend and the remaining part shall be retained by (or, if the Lending company is not the Administrator, transferred to) the Lending company, provided that if the Lending company Interest is less than the interest to be paid by the Debtor in respect of the Loan Agreement, an amount corresponding to the difference between the Lending company Interest and the interest paid in respect of the Loan Agreement shall be deducted from the payment to the Investors and retained by or transferred to (as applicable) the Lending company.
If the Lending company Interest exceeds the interest to be paid in respect of the underlying Loan, the Lending company shall, for the avoidance of doubt, not be obliged to pay the difference between the Lending company Interest and the interest paid in respect of the Loan. Upon receipt of Funds or Lending company Interest from the Administrator, SaveLend will distribute the Funds and the Lending company Interest among all the Investors having provided the Lending company Loan (or a part thereof) arising from the relevant Lending company Loan Agreement in the following order:
- first, in or towards payment pro rata by the relevant Investors of any unpaid amount owing to
SaveLend in respect of the Lending company Loan;
- secondly, in or towards payment pro rata to the relevant Investors of any accrued interest
(including any default interest payment) in respect of the Lending company Loan;
- thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata to the relevant Investors of any principal due but
unpaid in respect of the Lending company Loan; and
- fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata to the relevant Investors of any other sum due but
unpaid in respect of the Lending company Loan.
The calculation of any amount subject to transfer by Savelend in accordance with this paragraph shall
be performed by SaveLend based on the information provided by the Administrator.
3.6 Credit losses
The granting of a Lending company Loan (or a part thereof) can result in losses for the Investor. The Investor is solely responsible for its use of the SaveLend Marketplace and for any possible losses that may arise as a result of any agreements entered into with a Lending company on the SaveLend Marketplace.
If the Debtor fails to make full payment under the Loan in which the Investors have invested by way of granting a Lending company Loan, the Investors will receive payment pro rata in accordance with Clause 4.5 (Payment and distribution of Funds) above. If the Administrator has, as a result of a Debtor being in default under a Loan Agreement, sold the Claim to a third party in accordance with paragraph 8 of Clause 5.5 (Investor’s authorisation to SaveLend) of the General Provisions, the Administrator shall distribute the selling price between the relevant Investors in accordance with the provisions for distribution of Funds set out in Clause 4.5 (Payment and distribution of Funds) above.
4 GOVERNING LAW
Unless otherwise stipulated in any applicable mandatory law or regulation, these terms and conditions shall be governed by Swedish law.
5 DISPUTES
In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to these Special Provisions (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination), the parties involved shall first seek settlement of that dispute by mediation or negotiation. If the dispute is not settled by mediation or negotiations, the dispute shall be settled by the District
Court of Stockholm.
