Terms of service
Introduction:
This purchase is governed by the following standard terms and conditions of sale for consumer purchases of goods over the Internet. By consumer purchases is meant here the sale of goods to consumers who do not mainly shop as part of business activities, and when the seller acts in business activities with sales of goods over the internet. The contract has been prepared 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 Withdrawal Act and the E-Commerce Act, and these laws give consumers inalienable rights. The terms of the contract are not to be construed as limiting the statutory rights, but set out the parties' most important rights and obligations for trade. The seller may choose to offer the buyer better terms than those set out in these terms of sale.
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 provided by the seller about the purchase in the ordering solution in the online store, direct correspondence between the parties and the terms of the terms of sale, direct correspondence between the parties and the information provided in the ordering solution precedes the terms of sale.

The message to the seller or creditor should be in writing (email, fax or letter).
Buyer's rights in case of delay
If the seller does not deliver the goods or delivers them too late in accordance with the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the buyer or circumstances on the buyer's side, the buyer may, according to the rules in Chapter 5 of the Consumer Purchases Act, withhold the purchase price, demand fulfillment, terminate the agreement and claim compensation from the seller.
Fulfillment: If the seller does not deliver the item at the time of delivery, the buyer can maintain the purchase and set a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment from the seller. However, the buyer can not demand fulfillment if there is an obstacle that the seller can not overcome or if fulfillment will entail such a great inconvenience or cost for the seller that it is in significant disproportion to the buyer's interest in the seller fulfilling. If the difficulties disappear within a reasonable time, the consumer can demand fulfillment.
Cancellation: The buyer may 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 set by the buyer. However, the buyer can not terminate the agreement while the additional deadline runs, unless the seller has said that he or she will not fulfill within the deadline.
Compensation: The buyer can further claim compensation for loss 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. the clause in this contract
13. Buyer's rights in the event of defect
If the item has a defect and this is not due to the buyer or conditions on the buyer's side, the buyer can according to the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act chapter 6 depending on the circumstances withhold the purchase price, choose between correction and re-delivery, demand price reduction, demand the agreement terminated and compensation from the seller.
Correction or re-delivery: If the item has a defect, the buyer can demand that the seller correct the defect or re-deliver the corresponding item. The seller may oppose the buyer's claim if the execution of the claim is impossible or the seller causes unreasonable costs.
The seller must make the correction or replacement within a reasonable time. Correction or re-delivery shall be made at no cost to the buyer, without risk that the buyer will not be reimbursed for his expenses and without significant inconvenience to the buyer. The seller may not make more than two attempts at rectification or re-delivery for the same defect, unless there are special reasons that make further attempts reasonable.
Even if the buyer does not require correction or replacement, the seller can offer correction or replacement if this happens without delay. If the seller provides for such correction or re-delivery, the buyer can not demand a price reduction or cancellation.
Price reduction: If the defect is not corrected or re-delivered, the buyer can demand a proportionate price reduction.
Cancellation: Instead of a price reduction, the buyer can cancel the agreement, except when the defect is insignificant.
Compensation: The buyer can also claim compensation for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of the item being defective, cf. the Consumer Purchases Act § 33.
The buyer must report claims to the seller in the event of a complaint, cf. section 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 provided by the seller.
14. 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, according to the rules in the Consumer Purchase Act chapter 9, withhold the item, demand fulfillment of the agreement, demand termination of the agreement and compensation from the buyer. The seller may also, depending on the circumstances, be able to claim interest in the event of late payment, collection fee and fee for non-prepaid uncollected goods.
Fulfillment: If the buyer does not pay, the seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pays the purchase price (fulfillment). If the item is not delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits unreasonably long to advance the claim.
Termination: In the event of a material default or other material default by the buyer, the seller may terminate the agreement. However, the seller can not 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 set by the seller. However, the seller can not withdraw while the additional deadline runs, unless the buyer has said that he or she will not pay.
Compensation: The seller can demand compensation from the buyer for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of a breach of contract on the part of the buyer, cf. the Consumer Purchases Act §46.
Interest on 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 on late payment. (9) In the event of non-payment, the claim the buyer can then be held liable for fees in accordance with the Debt Collection Act and other collection of overdue monetary claims. (10)
Fee for uncollected non-prepaid goods: If the buyer fails to collect 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 18 years of age. (11)
15. Warranty

A guarantee thus does not imply any restrictions on the buyer's right to a complaint and claims in the event of delay or defects pursuant to items 12 and 13.
16. Personal data (12)
Unless the buyer agrees to something else, the seller can only collect and store the personal information necessary for the seller to be able to carry out the obligations under the agreement.

The buyer's personal information shall only be disclosed to others if it is necessary for the seller to implement the agreement with the buyer, or in statutory cases.
The seller can only obtain the buyer's social security number if there is a factual need for secure identification and such collection is necessary.
If the seller wants to use the buyer's personal information 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 at the conclusion of the agreement. The seller must provide the buyer with information about what the personal information will be used for and about who will use the personal information. The buyer's consent must be voluntary and given by active action, for example by ticking.
The buyer must be able to easily contact the seller, for example by telephone or e-mail if he or she has questions about the seller's use of personal information or if he or she wants the seller to delete or change the personal information.
17. Conflict resolution

If an amicable solution is not reached after mediation in the Consumer Council, the parties may request in writing that the Consumer Council submit the dispute to the Consumer Disputes Committee.13 Decisions by the Consumer Disputes Committee are final four weeks after service.
