Slutkonsumentens

Slutkonsumentens is the genitive form of the Swedish noun slutkonsument, which refers to the end consumer—the person who purchases goods or services for private use, rather than for resale or professional use. The base term slutkonsument denotes this consumer type, and the possessive suffix -ens is used to form phrases that attribute rights, duties, or characteristics to the end consumer. In practice, slutkonsumentens appears in legal texts, contracts, and policy documents to indicate protections or obligations aimed specifically at private consumers.

In Swedish and European consumer law, the end consumer is the primary target group for many protections. Rights commonly associated with slutkonsumentens status include clear pre-sale information, the ability to withdraw from a contract in certain contexts, guarantees and warranty terms, remedies for defects, and privacy protections. Texts that discuss data handling, marketing practices, and sales terms often frame these provisions as applying to slutkonsumentens, distinguishing them from business-to-business transactions.

The term is not a separate legal category; rather, slutkonsumentens functions as a grammatical marker used to specify that a provision or obligation concerns the end consumer. It is frequently encountered in clauses such as slutkonsumentens rätt to information, slutkonsumentens rätt att ångra ett köp, or slutkonsumentens integritet.
