IKEA Retail and INBAB offer IKEA Family and provide the IKEA Family account together and are hereinafter referred to as “IKEA”, “we”, “us”. However, each of the entities above has distinct responsibilities and liabilities under these Terms and Conditions, and this will be made clear from the context in which they are used in these Terms and Conditions.

- content moderation of the Marketplace,

This means that IKEA Retail is not responsible for the operations of or service provided through the Marketplace and that there is no contractual relationship between you and IKEA Retail for your use thereof.

If you continue to use your Account following an update of the Terms and Conditions, this will be an acceptance by you of such revised new terms and conditions. Significant changes and updates may in some cases be notified to you via email. If you don’t agree to the changes, you will have the option to actively withdraw from these Terms and Conditions by terminating your Account (see section 14).
3. Contacts and complaints

4. The IKEA Family Account
The IKEA Family Account is available to individuals that are 18 years or older and is for personal use only. You are responsible for all activities on your Account.
To join IKEA Family, you must be at least 18 years old, have your primary IKEA store in Sweden and have a valid e-mail address that your Account will be tied to. IKEA Family is intended for private use only, so you are not allowed to create an Account on behalf of a company (we invite companies to join our IKEA for Business network instead). We only allow you to have one valid Account at a time and your Account and connected IKEA Family membership card are personal and you cannot transfer it to another person. If the application is illegible (if you use a physical form) or otherwise incomplete, we may not be able to register you as an IKEA Family member. The membership is free of charge.
The IKEA Family membership card is not a payment card.
We trust you to keep your email and contact details up to date and you can update your information at any time by logging into your Account. You are responsible for all activities that occur on your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
Creating an Account means that we will collect and process your personal data. Please read the IKEA Family Privacy Notice for more information.
You are responsible for all User Content, including reviews, published listings and any actions that happen under your Account as well as for all products listed sold and transferred by you to buyers on the Marketplace. IKEA is not responsible for any dispute or claim that you may have relating to another user of the Marketplace nor for any tax liabilities or reporting obligations that may apply to you as a user of the IKEA Family services, benefits or rewards.
5. Services, benefits and rewards
When you're a member of IKEA Family, you get the tools, support, and benefits you need to make your home improvement plans a reality. To make sure you never miss out on your instant benefits and rewards, always remember to log in or identify yourself as an IKEA Family member.
We offer a great variety of services, benefits and rewards to our Family members and we are constantly working on new services, incentives and offers to be added to IKEA Family. To enjoy all of this, you must identify yourself as an IKEA Family member and you can do this in the following ways: in our stores you can use your IKEA Family membership card or identify with your phone number or personal identity number. On our website https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/, on the Marketplace and in the IKEA app you identify by logging in to your Account with your email address and password, BankID (or other available log-in options that may be offered from time to time).
Please keep in mind that the IKEA Family services, benefits and rewards may change over time and are subject to availability. Such changes will not affect your preexisting rights. Current and up-to-date IKEA Family services, benefits and rewards are always made available on our website. Benefits communicated individually (including tailored offers) may be available only to selected members based on certain individual criteria established by IKEA (e.g. interests). Individually communicated benefits are non-transferable unless otherwise stated. Here are some key benefits that may be available to you as an IKEA Family member:
6. Ratings and reviews
You can rate and review IKEA products and services on www.IKEA.com/se, as well as other IKEA Family users on the Marketplace. If you choose to do so, we expect you to do it in a kind and constructive way. You also accept that others can rate you and share reviews of their experience of buying from or selling to you on the Marketplace. IKEA may remove reviews if we find them illegal or inappropriate.
As an IKEA Family member, you may receive a proposal from IKEA Retail to share your experience of purchasing from IKEA Retail and using our products and services, to be posted on our website, Marketplace and the IKEA app. Please note that your review should only relate to the features and properties of our IKEA products and services. You acknowledge and agree that your ratings and reviews will be published anonymously but with an abbreviation of your name or a nickname, such as only the first name or initials.
All buyers on the Marketplace will have the possibility to rate and review the sellers that they have engaged with, once the transaction has been completed. By using the Marketplace, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the ratings and reviews that you give, and that other buyers will be able to rate and give a review of you. The statements, information and ratings contained in any such review must be fair and honest (and comply with section 7 below) and are solely the opinion of the one submitting the review.
IKEA is under no circumstances liable in any way for the content of the ratings and reviews, including, but not limited to, errors, omissions, or defamatory statements in such reviews or for any loss or damage of any kind that you may incur as a result of someone’s review.
You have no right to remove or correct a review that another IKEA Family member has made about you. However, if you find a specific review about you to be incorrect or unfair, you can reach out to the Marketplace customer support to give your explanation. IKEA reserves the right to decide on any corrective measures of specific reviews. We also reserve the right to not publish or to later delete (in whole or in part) reviews that are in breach of applicable legislation or violating these Terms and Conditions (according to section 7 below).
7. User Content and messages
Don’t publish or message anything that is illegal or confidential and remember to only upload photos that you have a right to share. IKEA has a right to use all User Content for its own business-related purposes. If you see any inappropriate content uploaded by someone else, please report it to us.
When you use the Marketplace and interact with INBAB and other IKEA Family members, or if you publish a review on our retail website, you will upload photos, write descriptions, comments, messages, ratings and reviews etc. and otherwise create different type of content (all such content hereinafter referred to as “User Content”). You hereby acknowledge that you are fully responsible and liable for all User Content that you publish, and specifically agree to:
a) not share User Content which is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, that may be invasive of another’s right of privacy or publicity, is racially or ethnically hateful, or otherwise objectionable;
b) only share User Content that you have a right to share (i.e. don’t share any information that you have an obligation to keep confidential);
c) not share User Content (e.g. photos of or information) about someone else (except within the context of ratings & review on the Marketplace), unless you have secured that you have that person’s consent to share the information;
d) not share User Content (especially photos) that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any party;
e) not use the comment and/or discussion possibilities in a way that adversely affects the usability of the Marketplace for other users (e.g. shouting BY USING ALL CAPS, or flooding the Marketplace by listing the same Product repeatedly); and
f) not use the Marketplace for the purpose of promoting your religious beliefs or political opinions, sending unwanted emails, comments or other content (“spam”) and other types of unsolicited advertising and solicitation.
IKEA reserves the right to block or remove, at any time and after having issued a prior warning, User Content and Accounts that contain content which is in violation of these Terms and Conditions or applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you hereby grant to IKEA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, perpetual license to use and modify such User Content (except for messages), and create, use and dispose of derivative works created based on the User Content, for any purpose (especially for promotional and marketing purposes), including a right to reproduce, manufacture, copy, adapt, crop, modify, shorten or combine with other material, translate, perform, display, publish, sell, broadcast, transmit, or communicate to the public by any means and in any media whether now known or unknown and to distribute your User Content.
Although we do our best to review User Content, you understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate or otherwise unsuited to your purpose. If you identify any conduct or User Content of a fraudulent, offensive, illegal or abusive nature, please report it through the available support chat so that IKEA can, where appropriate, take the necessary measures to ensure that our website, IKEA app and Marketplace are safe spaces for our IKEA Family members. As explained in section 8 below, all User Content is subject to content moderation.
Messages that are exchanged between buyers and sellers on the Marketplace are not private and shall be exchanged only for the purpose of the transactions. They are subject to moderation by INBAB to keep the Marketplace secure. INBAB may also access the messages in case of disputes between Marketplace users.
8. Content moderation
We want to keep our online spaces friendly and free from harmful content and will take various actions to secure that this is always the case.
We use manual and automatic intervention to ensure that content on our website, IKEA app and Marketplace do not violate laws or these Terms and Conditions. We also offer the ability for users of the Marketplace to report issues directly through the Marketplace or to the Marketplace customer support. We determine the appropriate actions for moderation on a case-by-case basis.
9. Things we ask you not to do
Let’s work together to ensure that IKEA Family is a safe space for everyone loving IKEA. You cannot misuse or tamper with our website, app or Marketplace and you need to treat other IKEA Family members with respect.
We know it might seem obvious, but when using the IKEA Family services, benefits and rewards, you must comply with applicable legislation and respect these Terms and Conditions. This means, among other things, that you must not:
a) harass, stalk threaten, scam or otherwise intentionally mislead or deceive other IKEA Family members, or copy their photos or other User Content and represent it as your own;
b) misuse or tamper with our website, Marketplace or the IKEA app, or the features and services that you get access to through your IKEA Family membership (e.g. hack our website, introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other technologically harmful material or carry out denial of service attacks etc.) or otherwise mess with our technologies or functionalities;
c) copy or download any content from our websites or apps unless you are expressly authorized to do so;
d) use software and/or data mining tools (including but not limited to crawling and screen taping) on the Marketplace;
e) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, national or international law, rule or regulation; or
f) use the Marketplace to promote your own business and/or to sell any items or services, whether physical or digital, in breach of these Terms and Conditions.
10. Intellectual property rights
Except for User Content, all content on our websites and apps belong to IKEA or its licensors.
As stated above, you are the holder of all rights in and to your User Content that you publish on our websites, apps or on the Marketplace.
If you find that any content on our websites, apps or Marketplace (whether User Content or otherwise) infringes your intellectual property rights, you can flag the content by contacting us through the relevant support chat. Please note that you should only flag content if you are the rights holder or an agent thereof.
With the exception of User Content, all title, ownership, rights, and intellectual property and industrial property rights in and to IKEA Family, our websites and apps and the IKEA brand shall remain with IKEA, other companies within Ingka Group, our franchisor, Inter IKEA Systems B.V. or our licensors. Your use of any of our IKEA Family services, benefits or rewards does not in any way imply the granting of any rights, authorizations, or licenses of any kind to the IKEA trademark, IKEA logo or any of the content on any IKEA websites or apps.
IKEA reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including judicial and extrajudicial actions, against you for any infringement of the intellectual and/or industrial property rights owned by or licensed to IKEA or any company in Ingka Group.
11. Third party materials
IKEA is not responsible for links to any non-IKEA websites. If you click on a link that takes you to another website, you do so at your own risk.
When browsing our websites and using our apps, you may find links to other non-IKEA websites or third party content. Links to third party websites and content are provided for your convenience only, and IKEA makes no representations or warranties with respect to any third party websites linked to or from an IKEA website or app. All access to linked third party websites is at your own risk and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, IKEA will not be liable in any way for any damages arising from your access to such websites.
12. Interruptions, viruses etc
Our websites, apps and Marketplace might look different every time you visit. We are trying new things to improve the experience, but this also means that our websites, apps and Marketplace may be unavailable at times when we perform maintenance or when something unforeseen has happened.
While we will do our best to ensure the availability and function of all the IKEA Family services, benefits and rewards, interruptions will happen from time to time for both foreseen maintenance and unforeseen events. If possible, we will try to inform you about planned interruptions, and we will plan downtime outside of peak usage hours. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, IKEA will not be liable for any losses suffered by the interruption in the availability of our websites or apps, delay or failure to perform resulting from any causes whatsoever.
IKEA cannot guarantee the absence of viruses or other elements that could damage or alter the user’s computer system (both hardware and software) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, doesn’t assume any liability arising from it. It is the user’s responsibility to have appropriate tools for the detection of viruses or any other harmful computer element.
13. Our Termination & Suspension Rights
If we suspect that you are in breach of these Terms and Conditions, we have the right to terminate your IKEA Family Account. In such case, vouchers and reward points may be cancelled. The same could happen if your Account has been inactive for more than three years.
We may terminate or suspend your Account, or restrict access to certain IKEA Family services if (a) your use of the IKEA Family membership is in breach of these Terms and Conditions or applicable legislation; or (b) your use of the IKEA Family membership is fraudulent, unauthorised or abusive of our services, benefits and rewards.
In such instance, IKEA will contact you via email to notify you and to provide you with a clear explanation for the restricted access, suspension or termination of your Account (as the case may be), including the expected period for suspension or restricted access (as relevant). We may also report any breach or illegal activity to the relevant law enforcement authorities and take any necessary action. The payment service provider may also hold payment (in transactions on the Marketplace) in transit if there is a suspicion that you are acting in breach of these Terms and Conditions.
Should you wish to challenge a decision made by IKEA regarding the restriction of your access to any IKEA Family service or the suspension or termination of your Account, you have the option to submit a complaint. You will find information on how and where to submit such complaint in the notification from IKEA. Note that a complaint must be submitted to IKEA within six (6) months from the day you receive the notification.
If we see that you frequently submit notices or complaints that are manifestly unfounded, we may suspend, for a reasonable period of time, and after having issued a prior warning, the processing of your notices and complaints submitted to IKEA. When assessing whether certain behaviour constitutes misuse and deciding on the duration of the suspension, we will take into account, among other things, the severity of misuse and the number of notices or complaints submitted by you.
In addition to the above, we may also terminate your Account if your Account has been inactive for more than three (3) years. By inactivity, we mean that you have not interacted with IKEA, such as logged in to your Account, opened our emails or made a purchase which has been registered on your Account.
When your IKEA Family membership is terminated, all rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions will automatically terminate except for rights of action occurring prior to termination, payment obligations, and sections entitled “Intellectual property”, “Limitation of liability” and “Applicable law and disputes”. If any rewards or benefits awarded to you under these Terms and Conditions are subsequently found to have been issued as a result of or in connection with a breach of these Terms and Conditions or any fraud or unauthorised use of your Account, IKEA reserves the right to cancel or reverse any reward voucher or reward points or other benefit issued to you.
14. Your Termination Rights
We are sad to see you go, but if you really want to leave IKEA Family, you can do so by simply deleting your Account.
If you decide that you no longer want to be an IKEA Family member you can terminate your membership, without cost, at any point by deleting your Account within the Account settings on our website or the IKEA app or by contacting our Customer Service. If you do so, you will no longer be able to benefit from the IKEA Family membership and its benefits and rewards. Any benefits accrued at the date of cancellation will be forfeited and may not be redeemed following cancellation. Please note that uninstalling the IKEA app from your mobile device does not mean that you have terminated your Account.
Please keep in mind that the obligations you may have in any ongoing transactions on the Marketplace will remain, even if you terminate your Account, and that you are liable for e.g. sending a sold Product to the buyer or confirming receipt of something you have purchased. For this reason, we recommend that you make sure all your transactions have been successfully completed before terminating your Account and we reserve the right to deny your termination request until you have completed all pending transactions. User Content that you have created, such as ratings and reviews will not be automatically deleted if you terminate your membership, but will still be published on our websites and app. Please also remember that you are always welcome back to IKEA Family.
15. Limitation of liability
We are doing our best to make IKEA Family great, but we can’t promise it will be perfect at all times. We will not compensate anyone because IKEA Family did not work out the way they wanted it to.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and not affecting your statutory rights, in no event will IKEA (or its officers, directors, employees, agents) be liable to you for any damages of any kind, including without limitation any indirect or consequential damages, arising out of the use or inability to use IKEA Family, or under these Terms and Conditions even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages or for any claim by any other party. Our services, benefits and rewards (including the Marketplace) are provided “as is” and “as available” with no express or implied warranties of any kind and IKEA doesn’t guarantee the correctness, completeness, up-to-datedness or quality of the information provided. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold IKEA harmless from any losses, liabilities, damages, actions, claims or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising or resulting from your breach of these Terms and Conditions.
16. Miscellaneous
We cannot promise that IKEA Family will stay the same forever and we may need to do changes to the services we offer if needed for e.g. technical or legal reasons. This is the only contract between you and IKEA regarding IKEA Family, and it cannot be transferred to anyone else.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate IKEA Family at any time for valid reasons only, such as adapting IKEA Family to a new technical environment, for other important operational reasons, in the event of changes to the services provided under these terms and conditions, or changes in law. However, this will not affect the rights we have acquired prior to the termination or suspension of IKEA Family. In the event of suspension or termination of IKEA Family, we will notify you in advance.
We may assign, subcontract and otherwise transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions to any other legal person, which you accept, but this will not affect your preexisting rights or our obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and IKEA and supersedes any and all previous agreements, promises and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter (including any previous versions of these Terms and Conditions).
A waiver of any right or remedy is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy.
Each of the clauses of these Terms and Conditions operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
17. Governing law and disputes
Let’s stay friends (hey, we are even Family!), but if we can’t work it out, here is some information on how to get help.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by Swedish law, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. If you have complaints, we encourage you to reach out to us directly to give IKEA the chance to address your concerns. There are also a number of alternative dispute resolution methods available for consumers in Sweden and you can turn to any such mediator for support. Consumers can also use the help of the Swedish General Complaints Board at https://www.arn.se/konsument/.
