Questions and Answers

Families

Here at Avion Shopping, we care about families and want to make it easy for you to visit us. That’s why we have family parking spaces that are slightly wider than regular parking spaces and are located near the entrances.

We also have family rooms where you can feed your child in peace and quiet or change a diaper. There’s also a small kitchenette with a microwave and sink so you can heat up food. There’s also a play area for slightly older children to keep themselves occupied.

We also have changing tables in all restrooms, as well as family restrooms with a smaller-sized toilet for our younger visitors. Our wide aisles make it easy to navigate with a stroller, and we also have several play areas both inside the mall and outside where children can take a break to play.

In our family room, you can heat up food in our microwave, change diapers, or breastfeed—in peace and quiet. There’s also a play area here to keep the slightly older children entertained. You’ll find the family room near Entrance 2 on the upper level, next to the restrooms. You can see where they’re located in the center on our store map.

We have 2,200 free customer parking spaces, 68 of which are family parking spaces and 16 of which are accessible parking spaces that are wider than standard parking spaces and are located near the shopping center’s entrances.

We want all children to have the opportunity to play. Play areas are available both outdoors and inside the shopping center; they are intended for children ages 3–10, and all play is at your own risk.

You'll find the indoor play areas on the ground floor outside H&M, by the stairs at Willys, and on the upper floor in the family room and near the Living Room.

The outdoor play area is located between Entrances 1 and 2.

Dogs

Only service dogs on duty are permitted in the shopping center. Unfortunately, service dogs in training are not permitted without permission from the center management.

Guide dogs and service dogs are welcome at Avion—the dog must wear a special harness or vest that indicates it is a service dog. Unfortunately, service dogs in training are not permitted without authorization from center management. Other animals are not permitted.

Gift Cards

Lost gift cards are treated the same as lost cash and are non-refundable. Gift cards cannot be traced back to the recipient.

Microlog handles invoice processing on behalf of the shopping center through Kredinor AB. Payment terms are 30 days net. The invoice fee is 36 SEK.

In accordance with the law on distance contracts and contracts concluded outside of business premises, you have a 14-day cooling-off period (starting on the day your order is delivered) to cancel your order for gift cards purchased online through the Avion web shop and receive a full refund, including standard shipping costs, but excluding the cost of returning the card.

If you’d like to load a larger amount, please contact Info & Lounge at info@avionshopping.se.

If you change your mind about a purchase made with a gift card at one of our stores, you can return the product to that store, and a refund will be issued directly to the gift card.

We do not have camera surveillance in the public areas of the shopping center. However, we use video technology to conduct visitor analysis, which helps us understand how visitors use our shopping center. This technology uses AI-driven algorithms based on clothing recognition to generate these analyses. It does not involve the processing of any biometric data or special category personal data. To be clear: your clothing is the only data we process, and only as part of the larger, overall pattern of movement within the shopping center—not to track how you, as an individual, use our shopping center.

This limited personal data is processed in real time and is not stored. The legal basis for processing this limited personal data is our legitimate interest in collecting analytics on visits to Mötesplatsen in order to improve our visitors’ experiences.

For information on where the data is stored, please contact the center management at info@avionshopping.se. Complaints may be submitted to the responsible authority, the Swedish Data Protection Authority (IMY).
