10.Seller’s rights in the event of Buyer’s default

The seller may also, according to the circumstances, be able to claim interest on late payment, collection fees and fees for non-prepaid uncollected goods. 

Fulfillment: If the buyer does not pay, the seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pay the purchase price (fulfillment). If the item is not delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits unreasonably long to promote the claim. 

Withdrawal: The seller may terminate the agreement if there is a material payment default or other material breach by the buyer. However, the seller cannot withdraw if the entire purchase price is paid. If the seller determines a reasonable additional deadline for fulfillment and the buyer does not pay within this deadline, the seller may cancel the purchase. 

Compensation: In case of breach of contract by the buyer, the seller may claim compensation from the buyer for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of cf. Section 46 of the Norwegian Consumer Purchase Act. 

Interest on late payment / collection fee: If the buyer does not pay the purchase price in accordance with the agreement, the seller may claim interest on the purchase price according to the delay interest law. In the event of non-payment, the claim may be sent to debt collection upon prior notice. The buyer can then be held liable for fees under the Norwegian Debt Collection Act. 

Fee for uncollected goods: If the buyer fails to collect ordered goods, MIAO will charge the buyer with a fee of NOK 300. This fee covers return and shipping costs.
