The right to claim further damages shall be reserved.

Customer shall only be authorised to exercise a right of retention to the extent that its counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

Retention of title

  1. We reserve title to the object of purchase until complete payment of the purchase price. Commodities to which (co-)ownership accrues to us shall be called Conditional Commodities hereinafter. In conduct in breach of conduct by Customer, in particular in arrears in payment, we shall be entitled to demand return of Conditional Commodities. Demand of return by us shall only represent withdrawal from the contract if we expressly declare the same in writing. Seizure of Conditional Commodities shall always mean withdrawal from the contract by us. Following return of Conditional Commodities, we shall be entitled to exploit the same, the yield from the exploitation being offset against Customer's liabilities - less suitable costs of the exploitation.
  2. Customer shall be obliged to treat Conditional Commodities carefully; in particular, it shall be obliged to insure them adequately at the new value against fire, water and theft damage at its own account. Insofar as maintenance and inspection work is necessary, Customer shall carry it out regularly at its own expense. Customer shall notify us of damage to or destruction of the commodities without delay.
  3. In the event of seizures or other interventions of third parties against the commodities, Customer shall notify us in writing with delay. Insofar as the third party is not in a position to reimburse us for the judicial and extra-judicial costs of proceedings, Customer shall be liable for the losses incurred by it.
  4. Processing or reformation of the object of purchase by Customer shall be done on our behalf in every case. Insofar as the object of purchase is processed with other objects not belonging to us, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new object in the ratio of the value at the time of the processing of the object of purchase (final invoice amount including Value Added Tax) to the value of the other objects processed. The same shall apply in the event of blending of the object of purchase with objects not in our possession.
  5. If retentions of title are not applicable in a foreign state, if the latter's law becomes applicable, or if they need not only contractual agreement, but, for example, also registration, Customer shall be obliged at its own expense to become involved in all measures, in particular to make all the declarations necessary on its part in order to make the retention of title effective or to procure securities equivalent to a retention of title for us.

Warranty

  1. Customer's warranty claims shall be limited to start with to the right to after-working or replacement delivery, although Consumer's choice can be rejected by us if it is only possible with disproportionate costs. This right of selection shall not accrue to a businessman. If after-working or replacement delivery fails, Customer shall be entitled to reduce the remuneration or to withdraw from the contract to the extent that the defect is not inconsiderable. Claims to damages shall remain unaffected. Damage through errors in operation, improper use, excess loads, and inadequate storage or by interventions of third parties shall not be a matter for warranty.
  2. For businessmen: Businessman's warranty claim shall presuppose that the latter has properly complied with the obligations to examination and notification of defects owed. For final customers, the period of barring by limitation for new commodities shall be 1 year. Claims from defects for second-hand commodities ("B" class) shall not exist.
  3. For consumers: Obvious defects to the commodities supplied shall be notified to us within four weeks of hand-over of the commodities in writing. If a defect is only seen later than 6 months after hand-over, Customer shall render proof that the object was defective upon passage of risk. Otherwise, we shall be free to render the proof that the object did not manifest any defects in quality upon hand-over.

Industrial protection rights

  1. Insofar as we provide technical documents, illustrations, moulds, tools, samples or also quotation documents, we reserve right to ownership and all industrial copyrights and protective rights, even if Customer has partly or totally assumed the costs therefore. They may not be made accessible to third parties and shall be returned without delay if the order is not placed. Customer shall not be allowed to produce the object of purchase itself or have it produced by third parties making use of the technical documents, illustrations, moulds, tools, samples and/or quotation documents.
  2. If the object of purchase is produced according to documents handed to Customer, the latter shall be liable for the fact that the manufacture and/or the delivery do not breach the industrial protective rights or other rights of third parties.

Data protection

  1. We reserve the right to examine Customer's creditworthiness, identity and/or authorisation to use a credit card stated or to have them examined by third parties in individual cases. In this context, forwarding of a copy of the personal identity card and/or the credit card of Customer stated can be necessary.
  2. The data necessary for handling the transaction shall be stored electronically and forwarded to affiliated companies in the course of the handling of the transaction if need be. All personal data shall naturally be treated confidentially.
  3. By ordering, Customer declares its agreement with electronic storage of its data on our online server. It shall be entitled at any time to insight into its data and to having information amended or deleted and to amend or delete them itself to the extent technically provided for in the system.

Applicable law / place of jurisdiction

  1. The present agreement shall exclusively be governed by Norwegian law. The United Nations Convention of April 11, 1980, concerning contracts for the international sale of commodities shall not be applicable.
  2. For businessmen: To the extent not agreed to the contrary in writing, place of performance for all contractual obligations shall be Gjovik. For all present and future claims from the business relationship with the customer, the exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be Gjovik.
