Terms
Last updated: 22 October 2026
These terms apply to the use of LovAPI, meaning the API at api.lovapi.dk and the account page at dashboard.lovapi.dk, and to the purchase of LovAPI's plans.
LovAPI is provided by Alkvantor Intelligence ApS, CVR 45021467 (see the company in the Danish business register). You can always write to us at support@lovapi.dk.
1. The agreement
You enter into the agreement when you log in for the first time and your account is created. If you buy a paid plan, the terms also apply to the purchase. If you use LovAPI on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm that you may enter into the agreement on its behalf. If we have agreed something else with you in writing, that agreement applies instead of these terms.
2. The service
LovAPI gives access to Danish law from Retsinformation as data: laws, statutory orders, guidance and other documents, split into sections and passages, with search and information about amendments. The API is described in the documentation.
The legal texts themselves are public and not protected by copyright. You may store, index and use data from LovAPI in your own products and services, including commercial ones and AI systems, and you may show it to your users. You may not make all or substantial parts of our dataset available to others as a dataset, a mirror or a replacement for LovAPI. We hold the database right to the dataset under section 71 of the Danish Copyright Act (ophavsretsloven).
3. Not legal advice
LovAPI is a data service. We do not give legal advice, and the content is not an official edition of the law. Retsinformation is the official source.
- We fetch and update the documents daily, but we do not guarantee that the data is complete, free of errors or up to date at all times. Errors in how the text is split up, and delays, can occur.
- Search results are found and ranked by machine. They can be incomplete or less relevant than you expect.
- It is your responsibility to check the content against Retsinformation before you use it for anything that matters, and it must not be the only basis for legal advice or legal action.
4. Account and API keys
- You log in with a link we send to your email. You create and revoke your API keys on the account page.
- Keep your keys secret. You are responsible for the use of your account, including use with a key that has fallen into the wrong hands. Revoke a key at once if you think others know it.
- You may not create several accounts to get around the limits of the plans.
5. Plans and limits
Each plan has a limit on requests per minute and per day. The limits apply to the account and are shared by all its keys. Over the limit, the API rejects requests until there is room again. The plans and their limits are listed on the front page.
We may change or close the free plan with reasonable notice. Changes to a paid plan are announced as described in section 6.
6. Prices and payment
- Paid plans are subscriptions, paid monthly in advance by card through our payment provider, Stripe. The subscription renews automatically every month until you cancel it.
- Prices on lovapi.dk are in Danish kroner (DKK) excluding VAT. VAT of 25% is added, and the total price is shown before you pay.
- You get a receipt and an invoice by email. The invoices can also be found under Manage subscription on the account page.
- If a payment fails, we try again a few times. If the payment does not go through, the subscription ends and the account continues on the free plan.
- If we change the price of a plan, you are told by email at least 30 days before. The new price applies from the first billing period after the notice, and you can cancel the subscription before then.
7. Changing plan and cancelling
- You change plan and cancel the subscription under Manage subscription on the account page.
- If you move to a larger plan, it applies at once, and you pay the difference for the rest of the current period. If you move to a smaller plan, it applies from the next period.
- You can cancel the subscription at any time. It runs until the end of the period you have paid for, and then the account continues on the free plan. Apart from the right of withdrawal below, we do not refund a period that has started.
8. Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal when you buy a subscription. The period runs from the day you buy. If the last day falls on a public holiday, a Saturday, a Sunday, Constitution Day (5 June), Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, the period is extended to the next working day.
When you buy, you ask for the subscription to start at once. If you withdraw, you therefore pay for the part of the period that has passed until you tell us. We refund the rest.
You withdraw by writing to support@lovapi.dk before the period ends, with a clear message that you want to withdraw from the purchase. We refund the amount no later than 14 days after we receive your message, to the card you paid with.
The right of withdrawal does not apply when you buy as a business.
You can use this withdrawal form if you like:
To LovAPI, support@lovapi.dk: I withdraw from my purchase of the LovAPI subscription [plan], bought on [date]. [Your name], [today's date].
9. Faults and defects
If LovAPI does not work as described, write to support@lovapi.dk as soon as you notice. If you are a consumer with a paid plan, you have rights under the law: we fix the fault, and if we do not manage within a reasonable time, you can get a proportionate price reduction or end the agreement. These rights apply for as long as the subscription runs.
10. Availability and changes to the API
We aim for LovAPI to be available at all times, but maintenance, faults and circumstances outside our control can cause interruptions. We do not promise a specific uptime.
We develop the API continuously. New fields and features can arrive at any time. Changes that could make existing integrations fail will be launched in new versions of the API. We keep old versions running for as long as possible, so you do not have to rebuild your integration. If it becomes necessary to close a version, you will be told well in advance, with a solid transition period to switch.
11. Fair use
You may build products and services on data from LovAPI. You may not:
- give others access to the API itself, for example by sharing your keys or by running a relay that lets others use the API outside the plans,
- try to get around the limits, put unnecessary load on the service or access anything other than what the API exposes,
- use LovAPI in breach of the law.
12. Liability
We are not liable for indirect loss, including operating loss, lost profit and loss of data, or for loss resulting from decisions made on the basis of content from LovAPI. Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid for LovAPI in the last 12 months.
If you are a consumer, this section does not limit the rights you have under mandatory law.
13. Closing the account
If you want your account deleted, write to support@lovapi.dk. If you have a paid subscription, we cancel it at the same time.
If you misuse the service or materially breach the terms, we may block your keys or close the account, without notice if necessary. If we close an account without you asking, we refund the payment for the rest of a paid period, unless the closure is due to your breach.
14. Changes to the terms
We may change the terms. You are told about material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can cancel the subscription before then.
15. Personal data
How we process your information is described in the privacy policy.
16. Complaints, governing law and venue
If you have a complaint, write to support@lovapi.dk, and we will find a solution.
If you are a consumer and we cannot agree, you can complain to Center for Klageløsning (the Centre for Complaint Resolution) at Nævnenes Hus, Toldboden 2, 8800 Viborg, Denmark, through naevneneshus.dk.
The agreement is governed by Danish law, and disputes are settled by the Danish courts. If you are a consumer, the general rules on where you can be sued apply.
