prisfria

Prisfria is a Swedish term used primarily in consumer and business language to describe conditions where a price is not fixed or publicly displayed. The phrase can refer to goods or services offered without a set price, or to sales and quotations where the final price is determined after a discussion between buyer and seller. In practice, prisfria often implies that a price is negotiable or provided on request rather than listed in advance.

Etymology and form: The term derives from pris (price) and fri (free). The compound prisfri is more common, while prisfria is an inflected form used in various grammatical contexts. The meaning is tied to the absence of a posted price rather than the absence of any price altogether.

Contexts and usage: Common in price-on-request models, customized services, or negotiations-based sales, especially in business-to-business settings. Some marketers may use prisfri to signal flexibility or transparency, but the lack of a published price can also create ambiguity for consumers, making clear quotes and total cost disclosures important.

Legal and regulatory note: Many jurisdictions have rules requiring transparent pricing and clear communication of total costs. In such environments, prisfria arrangements typically rely on quotes or negotiated terms, which must be complete and non-misleading to protect consumers and avoid hidden charges.
