About this statute

This section says the law applies to debts, meaning money debts and other obligations, but not to several listed claims and benefits. Special rules on debt prescription override this law in some cases, but a claim about a debt must still be brought within the set time where those special rules require it. Avtal får inte avvika från lagen till nackdel för gäldenären, och inte heller till nackdel för konsument, enskild borgensman eller enskild pantsättare genom ett lagvalsavtal som annars skulle låta denna lag gälla skulden. En skuld preskriberas tre år efter den tidpunkt som anges i 5–7 §, om preskriptionen inte har avbrutits innan dess. The limitation period starts on the due date if that due date was fixed in advance in a binding way. If the debt can be claimed before that date because of the debtor’s breach or another reason, the limitation period starts when the debt becomes payable due to notice measures.
