Membership terms and conditions

The Swedish Tourist Association (STF) is a non-profit organization working to ensure that everyone who wants to can discover Sweden and our fantastic nature and culture. We aim to inspire travel, activities, and adventures throughout Sweden, and we have been doing so since 1885. As a member of the Swedish Tourist Association, you are part of the organization and contribute to everything we achieve together. You have the opportunity to influence our operations through your democratic rights, and you receive many benefits and offers as a thank you for being a member. Welcome as a member! Below you will find the Swedish Tourist Association’s membership terms.

These membership terms apply between you as a private individual and the Swedish Tourist Association (802003-5955), hereinafter referred to as STF. By becoming a member, you accept these membership terms, which may be updated. This is the latest version. If you do not accept our changes, you always have the right to end your membership with STF.

How we process your personal data

When you become a member of STF, we store the information you provide in your application as well as your payment details in our membership system. STF is the data controller for this information. In our Privacy Policy, you can find more information about how we process your personal data and what rights you have regarding this information. Your personal data will be deleted 36 months after your membership has ended.

If you provide personal data about other individuals, you are responsible for ensuring that STF is permitted to process that personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy. This may occur, for example, when applying for membership for more than just yourself.

Membership categories

You can become a member of STF from the year you turn 16. STF has three membership categories: adult member from the year you turn 26, senior member from the year you turn 75, and youth member from the year you turn 16 through the year you turn 25.

Your membership is personal and cannot be transferred or used by anyone else.

Multiple members in the same household at the same address are eligible for STF’s family price once the combined membership fees reach the maximum fee amount. The family price includes a maximum of two adult or senior members and an unlimited number of youth members at the same address.

Membership period

STF has a rolling membership year, meaning your membership period is valid for 12 months from the date your payment is registered in STF’s membership system. If you wish to end your membership before the period expires, you can request to leave STF. To do so, contact STF Member Services by email at medlemsservice@stfturist.se or by phone at +468 463 21 00. Membership fees are not refunded.

If you register more people in your household for membership, they will all receive the same membership period as you. This also applies if you add more household members at a later time.

Well before your current membership period ends, you will receive a notification offering you the option to extend your membership for another year. If you use Kivra, the notification will be sent to your digital mailbox; for others, we send the notification by post. Your new membership period begins when the old one ends, even if you pay your membership fee in advance.

Democratic rights

The right to participate in STF’s democratic processes is granted to members from the year they turn 16.

Benefits

As a member, you receive a range of benefits; read more about them here.

To access some benefits, you must be able to show proof of valid membership. Show a valid membership certificate or log in to Mina sidor on STF’s website, where you’ll find all your offers and membership details. To receive the membership discount at all STF accommodations, it is important to make your booking on STF’s website, through our phone booking service, or directly at the accommodation. Children under 16 stay at membership prices when traveling with an STF member.

You receive five issues of the member magazine Turist. Members living abroad receive digital access to the magazine.

As a member, you also receive benefits from our external partners, such as train companies, car rentals, and outdoor equipment providers. Each partner is responsible for its own benefits, and their current terms apply. The Swedish Tourist Association cannot guarantee that these benefits are always available or function flawlessly, and we are not responsible for technical issues or other factors that may affect the use of a member benefit. Terms for partner offers may change without notice. We reserve the right to correct any errors in published offers.

Membership certificate

Once you have paid your membership fee, you can download your membership card in the STF app or log in to Mina sidor, where you’ll find all information related to your membership and can download your membership certificate. You will also receive a welcome letter with your membership details. If you use Kivra, the welcome letter will be delivered to your digital mailbox; for others, we send it by post.

Limitation of liability

We are not liable for losses or damages caused by technical errors, reduced functionality, or other similar issues related to your membership. This does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory legislation.

Term and termination of membership
These terms take effect when you register as a member and remain in force until further notice.
