The risk for the item passes to the buyer when the item has been taken over by the buyer in accordance with the agreement. If the delivery time has arrived and the buyer fails to take over an item that has been made available to him or her in accordance with the agreement, the buyer nevertheless bears the risk of loss or damage due to properties of the item itself.
9. Right of withdrawal
The buyer can cancel the purchase of the item in accordance with the provisions of the Right of Withdrawal Act 7. The right of withdrawal means that the buyer can return the item to the seller without reason, even if there is no defect in it and even if it has not been delivered.
The right of withdrawal is 10 days of open purchase on unused goods.
The buyer must notify the seller of the use of the right of withdrawal within 10 days after the item, the prescribed information about the right of withdrawal and the withdrawal form have been received. If the buyer receives the withdrawal form and the necessary information at a later time than upon delivery of the item, the withdrawal period begins to run from the day the buyer receives the withdrawal form and the information. If the buyer has not received sufficient information or a withdrawal form, the withdrawal period will nevertheless expire 3 months after the item has been received. If the buyer has not received information about the right of withdrawal at all, the deadline will be 1 year.
For reasons of evidence, the notification from the buyer to the seller regarding the use of the right of withdrawal should be in writing (withdrawal form, e-mail, fax or letter), and it must contain information on how the buyer will return the item to the seller.
When using the right of withdrawal, the item must be returned to the seller within a reasonable time. The seller is obliged to repay the entire purchase price to the buyer within 30 days from the day the seller receives the item or collection note or the item is made available to the seller. The seller cannot set fees for the buyer's use of the right of withdrawal, but the seller can demand that the buyer pay the costs for the return shipment.
The buyer can examine the product before he or she cancels the purchase. However, the item must be able to be returned to the seller in approximately the same condition, unused and quantity as it was when the buyer received it. The buyer should send the item back to the seller in the original packaging if this is possible.
The buyer cannot cancel the purchase of goods that deteriorate quickly or goods that by their nature cannot be returned. By accepting the terms of sale, you consent to UniformPartner AS being able to apply a logo to a product before the withdrawal period expires. This will mean that a product with a logo applied according to your wishes is not covered by the right of withdrawal. However, applying a logo to a product does not affect the right to make a complaint about the product.
10. Examination of the goods
When the buyer receives the item, it is recommended that he or she, to a reasonable extent, examines whether it is in accordance with the order, whether it has been damaged during transport or whether it otherwise has defects.
If the item does not correspond to the order or has defects, the buyer must notify the seller by complaint cf. point 11 of the contract.
11. Complaint in case of defect and deadline for reporting claims in case of delay
If there is a defect in the item, the buyer must, within a reasonable time after he or she discovered it, notify the seller that he or she will invoke the defect. The deadline can never be shorter than two months from the time the consumer discovered the defect. However, complaints must be made no later than two years after the buyer took over the item. If the item or parts of it are intended to last significantly longer, the complaint period is five years.
In case of delay, claims must be directed to the seller within a reasonable time after the delivery time has arrived and the item has not been delivered.
If the item is paid for with a credit card, the buyer can also choose to complain and send claims directly to the credit provider (credit card company). The notification to the seller or credit provider should be in writing (e-mail, fax or letter).
12. The buyer's rights in case of delay
If the seller does not deliver the item or delivers it 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, in accordance with the rules in chapter 5 of the Consumer Purchases Act, withhold the purchase price, demand fulfillment, cancel the agreement and claim compensation from the seller, depending on the circumstances.
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 cannot demand fulfillment if there is an obstacle that the seller cannot overcome or if fulfillment will entail such a great disadvantage or cost for the seller that it is significantly disproportionate 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 can cancel the agreement with the seller if the delay is significant or if the seller does not deliver the item within the additional deadline for fulfillment that the buyer has set. However, the buyer cannot
