The seller may choose to offer the buyer better terms than what is stated in these Sales Conditions.

For cases in which the contract does not give a direct solution to an issue, the contract must be supplemented by relevant legal provisions.

Fulfillment: If the seller does not deliver the goods at the set time of delivery, the buyer may adhere to the purchase and set a reasonable additional time limit for fulfillment by the seller.

However, the buyer may not demand fulfillment if there is an obstacle to fulfillment which the seller cannot overcome or if fulfillment will involve a disadvantage or cost so great for the seller that it stands in significant disproportion to the buyer’s interest in having the seller fulfill the purchase. If these difficulties cease within a reasonable amount of time, the consumer may require fulfillment.

Termination: The buyer may terminate the contract with the seller if the delay is significant or if the seller does not deliver the products within the additional time limit for fulfillment the buyer has set.

Correction or redelivery: If the product is defective, the buyer may require that the seller correct the error or redeliver an equivalent product. The seller may object to the buyer’s requirement if the fulfillment of the requirement is impossible or involves unreasonable expenses for the seller.

The seller shall complete the correction or redelivery within a reasonable amount of time. The correction or redelivery shall be done without expense for the buyer, without the risk that the buyer will not have his/her expenses covered, and without significant inconvenience for the buyer. The seller may not attempt correction or redelivery more than twice for the same defect unless there are special reasons making further attempts reasonable.

Even if the buyer claims neither correction nor redelivery, the seller may offer correction or redelivery if this is done without delay. If the seller provides such correction or redelivery, the buyer may not demand a discount or termination of the contract.

Discount: If the defect is not corrected or redelivered, the buyer may demand a proportionate discount.

Termination: Instead of a discount, the buyer may terminate the contract, except in the case of insignificant defects.

Compensation: The buyer may also demand compensation for financial losses suffered as a result of the product defect; cf. Consumer Purchases Act section 33.

The buyer must present any claims to the seller; cf. Point 9 of this contract. The regulations concerning claims apply in addition to and independently of the regulations concerning the cancellation right and any warranties given by the seller.

Compensation: The seller may demand compensation from the buyer for financial losses incurred as a result of a contractual breach from the buyer’s side; cf. Consumer Purchases Act section 46.
