Saifion ApS
Last updated: April 2026
CVR: 46208145
These terms of service (“Terms”) constitute the legal agreement between you (“User”, “Customer”) and Saifion ApS (“Saifion”, “we”, “us”, “our”) regarding the use of the Saifion platform and related services.
By creating an account, requesting freight quotes, or otherwise using the service, you accept these Terms. This applies regardless of whether you represent a company that needs goods shipped (shipper), are a carrier (partner), or are simply visiting the website. Read them carefully.
1. Definitions
The Saifion Platform: The AI-powered import and logistics platform, including data processing, landed cost calculation, inventory-based reorder recommendations, Live Tracking, Shopify integration, and AI features for automatic generation of document drafts (Bill of Lading, invoices and customs documents), freight price analysis and optimization of logistics routes based on Customer Data. The definition also includes associated software, API, web application and integrations.
User: The legal entity (e.g., the customer or carrier) and its employees who have access to an account on the Saifion Platform.
Integrations: Connections between Saifion and external systems such as Shopify, ERP systems, customs systems, carrier APIs or other logistics management tools.
Customer Data: All data processed through the platform, including shipment details and metadata, document content, communication between parties, tracking data accessed via integrations, product and inventory data from Shopify integrations, and other data provided or accessed through the services.
Shipping Agent: The independent third-party freight forwarding agent that Saifion connects the Customer with for the purpose of arranging transport. The Shipping Agent is solely responsible for the physical handling, transport and delivery of goods. The contractual relationship for freight services is between the Customer and the Shipping Agent.
Carrier: The independent third party, such as a shipping line, airline or trucking company, that carries out the physical transport of goods, as engaged by the Shipping Agent.
AI-Generated Content: Any output produced by Saifion's artificial intelligence tools, including but not limited to document drafts, HS code classifications, duty estimates, CO₂ calculations, landed cost calculations, reorder recommendations, route suggestions and freight rate analyses. Saifion's primary AI tools are Anthropic's Claude (including Claude Code) and Google's Gemini. All AI-Generated Content is provided as preliminary drafts or estimates only.
Sub-processor: Any third-party service provider engaged by Saifion to process data on behalf of the Customer, including but not limited to Clerk (authentication), Convex (database hosting), Chroma DB (vector database), Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini (AI processing), and Dinero/Visma (accounting and invoicing).
Confidential Information: All non-public information disclosed by either party, whether orally, in writing, or through the Platform, including but not limited to business data, pricing, technical specifications, trade secrets, algorithms, Customer Data and any information marked as confidential.
2. Purpose
Saifion provides an AI-powered import and logistics platform that helps businesses gain transparency and control over their global freight and import operations. The platform consolidates data, pricing, tracking and documentation in one place, reducing manual administrative work and minimizing the risk of hidden costs and errors in the import process.
The platform offers two core services that can be used independently or together:
- Data processing and overview: The platform consolidates the entire import process, providing visibility into landed costs, product and freight expenses, and inventory-based reorder recommendations, integrated with the Customer's webshop (including Shopify). The goal is to replace scattered emails, supplier invoices, spreadsheets and Alibaba data with one unified overview.
- Freight brokerage (speditørmægling): Through the Platform, Saifion connects the Customer with independent Shipping Agents who handle the actual freight forwarding. Saifion facilitates the relationship and provides full cost-breakdowns and tracking, but the contractual agreement for freight services is entered into between the Customer and the Shipping Agent. Saifion does not itself transport, store or physically handle any goods.
The service uses artificial intelligence to process import data, generate drafts of transport documents, calculate costs, and automate administrative tasks based on the data that the User enters or transfers via Integrations. All AI-generated outputs are provided as drafts and estimates for the Customer's review and approval. The Customer remains solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of all information and documents before submission to carriers, customs authorities or other third parties.
3. Saifion's Role — Platform and Freight Broker
3.1 Platform provider and data processor
In its capacity as a platform provider, Saifion is a technology company that processes data, automates workflows and provides transparency into the import process. Saifion acts as a data processor (databehandler) for Customer Data and as a technology service provider. Saifion does not provide customs, tax or legal advice through the Platform.
3.2 Freight brokerage (speditørmægling)
When the Customer chooses to use Saifion's freight brokerage services, Saifion acts exclusively as an intermediary (speditørmægler) that connects the Customer with independent Shipping Agents. Saifion's role is strictly limited to:
- Connecting the Customer with suitable Shipping Agents
- Facilitating cost transparency through full cost-breakdowns
- Providing shipment tracking and status updates via the Platform
- Automating document generation and data processing related to shipments
Saifion does not:
- Transport, store or physically handle any goods
- Act as a carrier, freight forwarder or principal for the transport
- Assume responsibility for the acts or omissions of Shipping Agents or Carriers
- Issue transport documents (Bills of Lading etc.) in its own name
- Take custody of or assume risk for any goods at any point
3.3 Contractual structure for freight services
The contractual relationship for all freight services (transport, customs clearance, storage, etc.) is between the Customer and the Shipping Agent. By using Saifion's freight brokerage services, the Customer acknowledges that:
- The Customer enters into a direct agreement with the Shipping Agent for freight services, facilitated through the Saifion Platform;
- The Shipping Agent's own terms and conditions, including any reference to NSAB 2015 or other standard conditions, govern the freight services;
- Saifion is not a party to the agreement between the Customer and the Shipping Agent;
- Any claims relating to lost, damaged or delayed goods must be directed at the Shipping Agent or the Carrier, not at Saifion;
- Saifion's sole obligation in relation to freight brokerage is to exercise reasonable care in the selection of Shipping Agents.
3.4 NSAB 2015 reference
The Shipping Agents used by Saifion typically operate under NSAB 2015 (Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders General Conditions). The Customer should familiarize itself with NSAB 2015, which among other things limits the Shipping Agent's liability to 8.33 SDR per kg of damaged or lost goods and establishes claims deadlines (visible damage: immediately upon receipt; non-visible damage: within 7 days).
Saifion recommends that the Customer reviews the specific terms and conditions of the Shipping Agent assigned to each shipment.
4. Account Creation and Use
The service is exclusively intended for commercial use within logistics and transport. By creating an account, you warrant that you are acting in a commercial capacity as a business entity or sole proprietorship (B2B) and not as a consumer. The User must provide correct and complete information when creating an account, including a valid business registration number and relevant company information, and keep these updated to ensure correct document handling and invoicing.
The User is fully responsible for protecting passwords and for all activity that occurs on the account. This includes responsibility for all bookings, document approvals and instructions made via the account. Authentication is provided through Clerk, a third-party authentication service. The User shall immediately notify Saifion of any unauthorized use of the account or any other breach of security.
Saifion reserves the right to suspend or close accounts with immediate effect upon suspicion of misuse, non-payment or breach of these Terms. Saifion will provide the User with a clear explanation of the reasons for suspension, and the User shall have the opportunity to address the issues before permanent closure, except in cases of suspected fraud or illegal activity.
Saifion may suspend access to the Platform immediately and without liability if: (i) there is a security risk or attack on the Platform; (ii) continued access would violate applicable law; (iii) a third-party technology provider terminates or suspends its services to Saifion; or (iv) Saifion reasonably determines that suspension is necessary to protect the Platform or other users. Saifion shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such suspension and to restore access as soon as practicable.

All such AI-Generated Content is provided on an informational and preliminary basis only.

6.3 AI transparency (EU AI Act compliance)
In accordance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689): the Customer is always informed when interacting with AI-generated outputs; the Customer may request human review of any AI-generated decision that materially affects the Customer's business; and Saifion maintains documentation of its AI systems' risk classification and compliance measures, available upon reasonable request.
6.4 Customer's obligations regarding AI-Generated Content
The Customer shall not present AI-Generated Content to any third party (including customs authorities, carriers, or Shipping Agents) as verified, final, or authoritative without independent verification. Where the Customer passes AI-Generated Content to its own customers, the Customer shall inform them that the content was AI-generated and not independently verified by a qualified professional.
6.5 Ownership of AI-Generated Content
Subject to the Customer's compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, Saifion assigns to the Customer all right, title, and interest (if any) that Saifion may hold in AI-Generated Content created specifically for the Customer. This assignment does not extend to: (a) the underlying AI models, algorithms, or software; (b) the Platform itself; (c) any pre-existing intellectual property of Saifion; or (d) anonymized and aggregated data as described in Section 15. Identical or substantially similar content may be generated for other customers.
6.6 Limitation of AI liability and marketing representations

All descriptions of AI capabilities in marketing materials are illustrative only. No marketing statement shall be construed as modifying the disclaimers in this Section 6 or in Section 10. In the event of conflict between marketing materials and these Terms, these Terms prevail.

Saifion shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the availability of the Platform. However, Saifion does not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free access to the Platform or any of its features.
The Platform may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, system updates, technical failures, third-party service disruptions or circumstances beyond Saifion's reasonable control. Saifion shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising from the temporary or permanent unavailability of the Platform.
Freight rates, tracking data, transit times and other information displayed on the Platform are obtained from third-party Shipping Agents, carriers and data providers.

14. Data Processing
Saifion processes Customer Data in accordance with its Privacy Policy (saifion.com/privacy) and Cookie Policy (saifion.com/cookies). By using the Saifion Platform, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
To the extent Saifion processes personal data on behalf of the Customer as a data processor within the meaning of GDPR, such processing is governed by Saifion's Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which forms an integral part of these Terms. The DPA is available at saifion.com/dpa. By accepting these Terms, the Customer also accepts the DPA; no separate signature is required. This electronic acceptance satisfies the written-form requirement of GDPR Article 28(9). Saifion maintains an audit trail of each acceptance, including the account identifier, timestamp, IP address, and DPA version, and makes the acceptance record available to the Customer on request. Enterprise customers that require a bilateral, individually negotiated DPA may request one by contacting legal@saifion.com before activating the Platform; until an Enterprise DPA is signed by both parties, the click-wrap DPA at saifion.com/dpa governs.
Saifion has conducted a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) in accordance with GDPR Article 35 for its AI systems and automated processing activities. A summary of the DPIA findings is available upon request. Saifion reviews and updates the DPIA annually or when processing activities change materially.
Saifion uses the following categories of sub-processors:
| Sub-processor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk | Authentication and user management | US (EU SCC) |
| Convex | Database hosting and real-time data infrastructure | US/EU (AWS) |

| Anthropic (Claude/Claude Code) | AI processing: document generation, HS classification, cost analysis, automation | US (EU SCC + DPA) |
| Google (Gemini) | AI processing: data analysis, document processing, classification | US/EU (Google Cloud) |
| Dinero (Visma) | Accounting system and invoicing | EU (Denmark/Visma) |
A complete and up-to-date list of sub-processors is available upon request. Saifion shall provide at least 30 days' notice before adding new sub-processors. If the Customer objects to a new sub-processor, the Customer may terminate the agreement.
Saifion may use anonymized and aggregated data derived from Customer Data for the purpose of improving its services, conducting analytics, and developing new features. Such anonymized data shall not identify the Customer or any individual.
14.1 Cross-Border Data Transfers
The Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors, including Anthropic Claude (AI processing), Google Gemini (AI processing), and Clerk (authentication), are established outside the EU/EEA or may process data outside the EU/EEA. Saifion ensures an adequate level of data protection for all international transfers through:
- EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with all non-EU sub-processors
- Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) documenting the data protection level in each destination country
- Supplementary technical measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), pseudonymization, and access controls
- The EU-US Data Privacy Framework (where applicable)
- Data Processing Agreements with specific data retention and security obligations
When the Customer uses Saifion's freight brokerage services, certain shipment and contact data may be shared with Shipping Agents and suppliers located in countries outside the EU/EEA (including Asian countries). Such transfers are made on the Customer's instruction as data controller and are governed by the DPA.
AI processing via Anthropic's Claude models is subject to a zero-retention policy: Customer Data sent for AI processing is not stored by Anthropic after processing and is not used for model training.
14.2 Data Breach Notification

Such notification shall include: (a) a description of the nature of the breach; (b) the categories and approximate number of data subjects and records affected; (c) the likely consequences of the breach; and (d) the measures taken or proposed to address the breach and mitigate its effects.
Saifion shall cooperate with the Customer and provide all necessary information and assistance to enable the Customer to comply with its own data breach notification obligations under GDPR Articles 33 and 34 and other applicable data protection laws.
15. Confidentiality
Each party shall keep confidential all Confidential Information received from the other party in connection with these Terms and the use of the Saifion Platform.
Confidential Information may only be disclosed: (i) to employees, advisors or subcontractors who need access to perform obligations under these Terms and who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations; (ii) as required by law, regulation or court order (the disclosing party shall provide prior notice to the other party where legally permitted); or (iii) with the prior written consent of the disclosing party.
The following shall not constitute Confidential Information: (a) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) information that was rightfully in the receiving party's possession before disclosure; (c) information independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (d) information rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

These Terms may be amended from time to time by Saifion. Saifion will provide notice to the Customer of any material change at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect, by email or by notice on the Platform.
The Customer's continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms. If the Customer does not agree to the amended Terms, the Customer must cease using the Platform and terminate its account before the effective date.
Notwithstanding the above, Saifion may make non-material changes (such as corrections of typographical errors, formatting updates, or administrative modifications) without prior notice. For the avoidance of doubt, changes to pricing, liability, data processing, or the scope of services are always considered material changes.
20. Notices
All notices under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when: (a) delivered personally; (b) sent by email with confirmation of receipt; or (c) sent by registered mail to the address provided by the party.
Notices to Saifion shall be sent to: contact@saifion.com. Notices to the Customer shall be sent to the email address associated with the Customer's account. Each party shall promptly notify the other of any change to its contact details.
21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with Danish law, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be attempted resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties within thirty (30) days from written notice of the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Maritime and Commercial High Court of Denmark (Sø- og Handelsretten) in Copenhagen as the court of first instance.
For disputes relating to freight services, the Customer should direct claims to the Shipping Agent in accordance with the Shipping Agent's applicable terms, including any arbitration provisions under NSAB 2015.
Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of intellectual property rights or Confidential Information.
22. Assignment
The Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Saifion. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void.
Saifion may assign these Terms in whole or in part: (a) to an affiliate; (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets; or (c) to a successor entity. Saifion will notify the Customer of any such assignment.
23. Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege shall preclude the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under these Terms or applicable law.
24. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that achieves, as closely as possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the invalid provision.
25. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, any applicable Data Processing Agreement and any order forms or service agreements entered into between the parties, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and Saifion with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written.
For clarity: the agreement between the Customer and the Shipping Agent for freight services is a separate agreement to which Saifion is not a party. No amendment to these Terms shall be effective unless made in accordance with Section 19.
