The place of destination is with the buyer unless otherwise specifically agreed between the parties.
8. The risk of the goods
The risk of the goods passes on to the buyer when the item is taken over by the buyer under the agreement. If the delivery time has come and the buyer fails to take over a product that is at his or her disposal after the agreement, the buyer still has the risk of loss or damage due to the characteristics of the item itself. 9. Right of withdrawal.
The buyer may refuse the purchase of the goods in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act. Right of cancellation means that the buyer can return the item to the seller without reason, even if there is no shortage of it and even if it is not delivered. The buyer must notify the seller of the use of the right of withdrawal within 14 days after the goods, the prescribed information about the right of cancellation and the right of withdrawal have been received.
Exceptions that trigger the cancellation of the right of withdrawal are the purchase of personalized products.
For reasons of proof, the notice from the buyer to the seller of the right of withdrawal should be in writing (cancellation 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 cancellation, the item must be returned to the seller within a reasonable period of time. The seller is obliged to repay the entire purchase price to the buyer within 14 days from the date the seller receives the item or the voucher or the goods are placed at the seller’s disposal. The seller can not set fees for the buyer’s use of the right of withdrawal, but the seller may require the buyer to pay the cost of the return shipment. The buyer can check the product before he or she regrets the purchase. However, the product must be returned to the seller in approximately the same condition and quantity as it was when the buyer received it. The buyer should return the item back to the seller in the original packaging.
10. Examination of the item
When the buyer receives the goods, it is recommended that he or she reasonably investigates whether it is in accordance with the order, if it has been damaged during transport or if it is otherwise missing. If the item does not match the order or is missing, the buyer must report to the seller on complaint, see item 11 of the contract.

In the event of a defect in the goods, the buyer must, within a reasonable period of time after discovering it, inform the seller that he or she will invoke the defect. Zen Products AS provides a normal five-year notice period.
In case of delay, claims must be made within a reasonable period of time after delivery time has come and the product has not been delivered. If the item is paid by credit card, the buyer can also choose to advertise and send claims directly to creditors (credit card company). The notification to the seller or creditors should be in writing (e-mail, fax or letter). The warranty on the product itself is not impaired by the personalization of the product. However, errors due to the buyer’s typos, resulting in errors in the personalization of a product do not constitute grounds for complaint. Should there be a mistake in the personalization of a product due to the seller, ordinary warranty claims apply.
12. Buyer’s right of delay
If the seller does not deliver the item or deliver it too late in accordance with the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the buyer or relationship on the buyer, the buyer may, in accordance with the rules in the Consumer Buying Act’s Chapter 5, return the purchase price, demand fulfillment, terminate the agreement and claim compensation from the seller.
Compliance: 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 claim fulfillment if there is an obstacle that the seller can not overcome or if fulfillment will cause such a major disadvantage or expense to the seller that there is significant discrepancy with the buyer’s interest in the seller fulfilling. Failing the difficulties within a reasonable time, the consumer may require fulfillment.
Elevation: 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 period of fulfillment set by the buyer. However, the buyer can not cancel the agreement while the additional deadline expires unless the seller has stated that he or she will not meet within the deadline.
Compensation: The buyer can also claim compensation for loss he or she suffers as a result of the delay by the seller, cf. section 29 of the Consumer Buying Act. The buyer must report claims to the seller by complaint cf. clause 11 of this contract.
13. Buyer’s rights in case of defectIf the product has a defect and this is not due to the buyer or condition on the buyer, the buyer may, in accordance with the rules in the Consumer Buying Act, chapter 6, in turn, keep the purchase price, choose between rectification and replacement, demand a price reduction, demand the agreement raised and compensation from the seller.
Correction or replacement: If the item has a defect, the buyer may require the seller to correct the defect or return the corresponding item. The seller may oppose the buyer’s claim if the execution of the claim is impossible or the seller may incur unreasonable costs. The seller must make the fix or delivery within a reasonable time.
Correction or redeployment shall be made free of charge to the buyer, without the risk that the buyer will not cover his expenses and without any significant disadvantage for the buyer. The seller cannot make more than two attempts to rectify or resign for the same defect, unless there are special reasons that allow further attempts to be reasonable.
Even if the buyer does not require correction or replacement, the seller may offer rectification or replacement if this happens without delay. If the seller makes such corrections or redeployment, the buyer may not demand a price reduction or cancellation.
Price reduction: If the defect is not corrected or returned, the buyer may request a relative price reduction.
Elevation: Instead of price reduction, the buyer may cancel the agreement, except when the defect is insignificant.Compensation: The buyer may also claim compensation for financial loss he or she suffers as a result of the goods having a defect, cf. section 33 of the Consumer Procurement Act. The buyer must report to the seller by complaint cf. clause 11 of this contract. In addition, and regardless of the rules of cancellation and any warranties made by the seller.
14. Seller’s right to buyer’s default
If the buyer does not pay or meet the other obligations under the agreement, and this is not due to the seller or seller relationship, the seller may, in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Purchase Act, chapter 9, in turn, retain the goods, demand fulfillment of the agreement, demand the agreement as well as compensation from buyer. The seller may also require interest on late payment, collection fee and fee for unpaid items.
Compliance: If the buyer does not pay, the seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pay the purchase price (fulfillment). If the product is not delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits unreasonably for a long time to promote the claim.
Remedy: In the case of material breach of payment or other material breach of the buyer, the seller may terminate the agreement. The seller cannot, however, raise after the purchase price has been paid. The seller can also raise the purchase if the buyer does not pay within a reasonable amount additional deadline for fulfillment set by the seller. The seller cannot, however, raise while the additional period expires unless the buyer has said that he or she will not pay.
Compensation: The seller may claim compensation from the buyer for financial loss he or she suffered as a result of breach of contract from the buyer cf. Consumer Purchasing Act §46. Interest on late payment / collection fee: If the buyer does not pay the purchase price under the agreement, the seller may claim interest on the purchase price pursuant to interest on late payment. In case of non-payment, the claim can be sent to the debtor in advance, and the buyer may then be held liable for Fees pursuant to the Debt Collection Act and other recovery of overdue monetary requirements.
Fee for unpaid non-prepaid items: If the buyer fails to collect unpaid goods, the seller may charge a buyer with a fee of $ 300 + return on return. The fee shall cover the seller’s actual outlay to deliver the item to the buyer. Such a fee cannot be charged to buyers under 18 years of age.

The buyer’s personal information shall only be disclosed to others if it is necessary for the seller to have the agreement with the buyer, or in a statutory case. The seller can only collect the buyer’s social security number if there is a need for secure identification and such collection is required. If the seller wishes to use the buyer’s personal information for other purposes, for example, to send the buyer newsletter or information beyond what is necessary to complete the agreement, the seller must obtain the buyer’s consent at the time of the contract. The seller will then provide the buyer with information about what the personal information will be used for and about who will use the personal information.
