Usage notes

[edit]
  • Generally, when something is gratis, it is entirely free of charge in every way.[2] If something is included at no extra cost with a purchase, it is på köpet (literally on the purchase). Note, however, that this distinction is weaker in colloquial contexts.

I andra fall är reklamen otillbörlig och därmed otillåten.The use of words such as “gratis,” “free of charge,” “no fee,” “gift,” or similar in advertising is only permitted if the consumer is not required to provide any form of compensation to the advertiser in order to receive the product that is described as “gratis.” In other cases, the advertisement is improper and therefore prohibited.
