Note that the change fee is charged from 1 May and in some cases even before if the change is not made on your own. It is the price at the time of the change that applies to the new product/service and to the product/service to be changed.

Where a price difference occurs, no difference will be refunded.

8.2 For transfer of start between different products/class sets where the new product/class set is more expensive today than the previous one is today, the difference must be paid. If the new product/service is (today) cheaper than the previous product/service is (today), no refund will be made.

Changes that can be made on your own online (change of class, name, etc.) always cost SEK 200 via the booking service. There is no change fee until May 1 to add products to your booking.

9.2 From 1 May onwards, all changes/transfers requested by the participant/Booker cost SEK 200 regardless of the change channel (via Booking Service, online or on site during the O-Ringen event via Participant Service). The change fee applies per booking and change occasion, regardless of whether several changes are made (for an individual participant or several participants) at the same individual change occasion. Note that the Booking Portal does not record the type of changes made, whereby a change fee is applied even if the Booker only adds a new participant to the booking (and does not change the information of existing participants). You can avoid a change fee in these cases by creating a new booking for new participants.
