Sales conditions

Introduction

This purchase is governed by the below standard sales conditions for consumer purchases of goods over the Internet. By consumer purchase here is meant the sale of goods to a consumer who does not mainly act as part of a commercial activity, and when the seller acts in a commercial activity with the sale of goods over the internet. The contract has been drawn up and recommended for use by the Consumer Ombudsman.

Consumer purchases over the Internet are mainly regulated by the Contracts Act, the Consumer Purchases Act, the Marketing Act, the Right of Cancellation Act and the E-commerce Act, and these laws give the consumer inalienable rights. The terms of the contract are not to be understood as any limitation of the statutory rights, but set out the parties' most important rights and obligations for the trade. The seller can choose to offer the buyer better terms than what appears in these sales conditions.

In cases where the contract does not directly provide the solution to a problem, the contract must be supplemented with relevant legal provisions.

In the event of a conflict between the information the seller has provided about the purchase in the order solution in the online store, direct correspondence between the parties and the conditions in the sales conditions, direct correspondence between the parties and the information provided in the order solution takes precedence over the sales conditions, as long as it does not conflict with binding legislation.

11. Complaints in the event of a deficiency and deadline for reporting a claim in the event of a delay

If there is a defect in the goods, the buyer must, within a reasonable time after he or she discovered it, notify the seller that he or she wants to claim the defect. The deadline can never be shorter than two months from the time when the consumer discovered the defect. Complaints must still be made no later than two years after the buyer took over the item.

12. Buyer's rights in case of delay

If the seller does not deliver the goods or delivers them late in accordance with the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the buyer or conditions on the buyer's side, the buyer may, in accordance with the rules in Chapter 5 of the Consumer Purchase Act, withhold the purchase price, demand fulfillment , terminate the agreement and demand replacement from the seller.

Fulfillment: If the seller does not deliver the goods at the time of delivery, the buyer can maintain the purchase and set a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment by the seller. However, the buyer cannot demand fulfillment if there is an obstacle that the seller cannot overcome or if fulfillment will cause such a great inconvenience or cost to the seller that it is significantly out of proportion to the buyer's interest in the seller fulfilling. If the difficulties disappear within a reasonable time, the consumer can demand fulfillment.

Elevation: The buyer can terminate the agreement with the seller if the delay is significant or if the seller does not deliver the goods within the additional deadline for fulfillment that the buyer has set. The buyer cannot nevertheless cancel the agreement while the additional deadline is running, unless the seller has said that he or she will not fulfill within the deadline.

Replacement: The buyer can also claim compensation for losses he or she suffers as a result of the delay on the part of the seller, cf. Section 24 of the Consumer Purchase Act.

The buyer must report claims to the seller in the event of a complaint, cf. clause 11 of this contract.

13. The buyer's rights in the event of a defect

If the item has a defect and this is not due to the buyer or circumstances on the buyer's side, the buyer may, in accordance with the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act, Chapter 6, depending on the circumstances, withhold the purchase price, choose between correction and redelivery , demand price reduction , claim the agreement raised and replacement from the seller.

Correction or redelivery: If the item has a defect, the buyer can demand that the seller correct the defect or re-deliver an equivalent item. The seller can object to the buyer's claim if the implementation of the claim is impossible or causes the seller unreasonable costs.

The seller must carry out the correction or redelivery within a reasonable time. Correction or redelivery must be carried out at no cost to the buyer, without the risk that the buyer will not be able to cover his expenses and without significant inconvenience to the buyer. The seller cannot make more than two attempts at correction or redelivery for the same defect, unless there are special reasons that make further attempts reasonable.

Even if the buyer neither requires correction nor redelivery, the seller can offer correction or redelivery if this takes place without delay. If the seller arranges for such rectification or redelivery, the buyer cannot demand a price reduction or cancellation.

Price discount: If the defect is not corrected or re-delivered, the buyer can demand a proportionate price discount.

Elevation: Instead of a price reduction, the buyer can cancel the agreement, except when the defect is immaterial.

Replacement: The buyer can also claim compensation for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of the goods having a defect, cf. Section 33 of the Consumer Purchase Act.

The buyer must report claims to the seller in the event of a complaint, cf. clause 11 of this contract. The rules on complaints apply in addition to, and independently of, the rules on the right of withdrawal and any guarantees given by the seller.

14. The seller's rights in the event of the buyer's default

If the buyer does not pay or fulfill the other obligations under the agreement, and this is not due to the seller or conditions on the seller's side, the seller may, in accordance with the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act, chapter 9, depending on the circumstances, withhold the goods, demand fulfillment of the agreement, demand the agreement terminated as well as compensation from the buyer. The seller may also, depending on the circumstances, be able to demand interest for late payment, debt collection fees and fees for non-advance-paid uncollected goods .

Fulfillment: If the buyer does not pay, the seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pays the purchase price (performance). If the goods have not been delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits an unreasonably long time to make the claim.

Elevation: In the event of significant payment default or other significant default by the buyer, the seller can terminate the agreement. The seller cannot withdraw after the purchase price has been paid.

The seller can also cancel the purchase if the buyer does not pay within a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment that the seller has set. However, the seller cannot withdraw while the additional period is running, unless the buyer has said that he or she does not want to pay.

Replacement: The seller can demand compensation from the buyer for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of the buyer's breach of contract, cf. Section 46 of the Consumer Purchase Act.

Interest in case of late payment/collection fee: If the buyer does not pay the purchase price in accordance with the agreement, the seller can demand interest on the purchase price in accordance with the Act on Interest in Late Payment. 9 In the event of non-payment, the claim may, after prior notice, be sent to debt collection, and the buyer may then be held liable for fees in accordance with the law on debt collection activities and other collection of overdue monetary claims. 10

Fee for uncollected, non-prepaid goods: If the buyer fails to pick up unpaid goods, the seller can charge the buyer a fee of NOK + return shipping. The fee shall at most cover the seller's actual outlay for delivering the goods to the buyer. Such a fee cannot be charged to buyers under the age of 18. 11

15. Warranty

A warranty given by the seller or the manufacturer gives the buyer rights in addition to the rights the buyer already has under non-derogable legislation. A guarantee thus implies no restrictions on the buyer's right to complaint and claims in the event of delay or defects according to clauses 12 and 13.

16. Personal data 12

Unless the buyer agrees otherwise, the seller can only obtain and store the personal data that is necessary for the seller to be able to carry out the obligations under the agreement. The personal details of buyers under the age of 15 cannot be obtained unless the seller has consent from parents or guardians.

The buyer's personal data must only be disclosed to others if it is necessary for the seller to complete the agreement with the buyer, or in statutory cases.

The seller can only obtain the buyer's social security number if there is a material need for secure identification and such collection is necessary.

If the seller wants to use the buyer's personal data for other purposes, for example to send the buyer advertising or information beyond what is necessary to complete the agreement, the seller must obtain the buyer's consent when entering into the agreement. The seller must provide the buyer with information about what the personal data will be used for and about who will use the personal data. The buyer's consent must be voluntary and given by an active action, for example by ticking the box.

The buyer must be able to easily contact the seller, for example by phone or e-mail, if he or she has questions about the seller's use of personal data or if he or she wants the seller to delete or change the personal data.
