Our general terms governing sale, delivery, payment and claims. Applicable to all deliveries from Notim AS unless otherwise agreed in writing.
These terms are governed by Norwegian law. Statutory references (such as the Norwegian Sale of Goods Act, the Late Payment Interest Act and the Norwegian Mortgage Act) are cited in their original Norwegian form alongside a brief English description. The Norwegian text prevails in the event of any discrepancy.
These general terms and conditions of sale and delivery apply to all deliveries from Notim AS (hereinafter "Seller") to the Buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Where these terms are silent, the Norwegian Sale of Goods Act (Kjøpsloven, Act of 13 May 1988 No. 27) or Incoterms 2020 shall apply.
Buyer: As specified in the Seller's order confirmation.
Seller: Notim AS, reg. no. 981 231 767, Solheimveien 40, 1461 Lørenskog, Norway.
Supplier: The manufacturer of the delivery.
Delivery: The products covered by the purchase agreement, as set out in the order confirmation.
Purchase price: The amount stated in the order confirmation.
Quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Agreements that deviate from the quotation are only binding once confirmed in writing by Notim AS.
An order is only binding once a written order confirmation has been issued by us. The Buyer's acceptance of our order confirmation constitutes acceptance of these terms.
We reserve the right to adjust prices if raw material costs, exchange rates, customs duties or other charges, or other circumstances beyond our control change.
Pallets are invoiced and credited in accordance with current pallet exchange regulations. Any return freight costs are borne by the Buyer.
The Buyer shall familiarise themselves with the properties and possible applications of the goods. Before use, the Buyer must determine whether the product is suitable for the intended application; the Buyer bears all risk and responsibility in this regard.
The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that use of the product complies with applicable regulations for the finished product, including laws and regulations on additives, limit values, labelling and food safety. The Seller's product information, data sheets and any calculation assistance are provided as guidance only and do not transfer this responsibility to the Seller.
The Seller states ingredients with quantities on product data sheets so that the Buyer can assess compliance with applicable regulations for their finished product.
The Buyer is solely responsible for assessing allergen risk associated with their use of the product. The Seller's allergen information is based on information received from the supplier and manufacturer. The Seller is not liable for allergen-related incidents resulting from the Buyer's failure to assess, label or manage allergens in their finished product.
The Buyer shall store products in accordance with the storage conditions stated on the packaging or product data sheet (temperature, humidity, light conditions and other requirements). The Seller is not liable for quality deterioration caused by improper storage by the Buyer or within the Buyer's supply chain.
After the expiry date has passed, the Buyer bears full responsibility for use of the product. The Seller disclaims all liability for products used after their expiry date.
Samples and test materials supplied by the Seller are subject to the same terms as regular deliveries. The Buyer bears full responsibility for testing, evaluation and any use of samples in production.
If no delivery time is specified in the order and/or order confirmation, delivery shall take place within a reasonable time after the Seller has issued the order confirmation. Delivery times are stated in good faith. We reserve the right to make changes caused by circumstances beyond our control.
Unless otherwise agreed, the following applies: CPT Buyer's address — Incoterms 2020 — for deliveries exceeding NOK 20,000.
Deliveries are made using carriers with whom Notim AS has freight agreements. Additional costs incurred by use of other carriers or express orders will be charged to the Buyer.
The Seller is not liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond the Seller's control, including delays on the part of any supplier. The Seller's liability for delay shall in any event be limited to the purchase price.
Risk in the delivery passes to the Buyer upon delivery, including in respect of individual deliveries where delivery takes place in several stages. The rules of Incoterms 2020 shall apply.
The delivery shall conform to the product data sheet and to the specific certificate of analysis obtained from the supplier or Seller.
The Seller gives no warranties beyond the product conforming to the current product data sheet and certificate of analysis at the time of delivery. No warranty is given as to fitness for any particular purpose, and no oral or written information from the Seller shall constitute a warranty beyond what appears in the product data sheet.
The Buyer must inspect the packaging upon receipt to confirm that it is undamaged and that the number of packages matches the delivery note / bill of lading. Any damage must be noted on the delivery note / bill of lading before signing for receipt; failing this, the Seller will disclaim liability for the damage.
The Buyer must notify the carrier, with a copy to the Seller, without undue delay. All liability for transport damage is limited to the purchase price.
All other claims must be submitted to the Seller in writing without undue delay, and no later than 5 working days after the Buyer discovered or should have discovered the defect. The absolute deadline for claims is 3 months from the date of delivery.
Defects must be documented to a sufficient degree. The invoice number and relevant batch number(s) for the delivery must be stated in connection with any claim. The Buyer is obliged to keep the claimed goods available for the Seller's inspection.
All or part of a delivery may only be returned to the Seller by separate written agreement between the parties. The right to make a claim is deemed forfeited if the Buyer breaks the packaging or uses the delivery in production.
In no event may compensation be claimed for any consequential loss (indirect loss), including loss of profit, production loss, loss of data, loss of goodwill or claims from third parties. Any financial liability shall in any event be limited to the purchase price of the relevant delivery giving rise to the claim.
Should a product recall become necessary, both parties are obliged to notify the other party immediately.
The Buyer is responsible for the recall of their own finished products and bears the costs associated therewith. The Seller's liability in the event of a recall is limited to replacing or crediting the relevant delivery, subject to a maximum of the purchase price.
The Seller is not liable for the Buyer's costs related to a recall, including costs for notification, logistics, disposal, production loss or compensation to third parties, unless the recall was caused by gross negligence on the part of the Seller.
The Seller retains title to the delivery until full payment has been received, cf. the Norwegian Mortgage Act (Panteloven) § 3-14 et seq. The Buyer is obliged to keep the delivery identifiable and separate from their own goods until payment has been made.
In the event of a material payment default by the Buyer, the Seller is entitled to demand return of the delivery. The Buyer is obliged to grant the Seller access to their premises to collect the goods.
Payment shall be made in the manner and within the deadline specified in the order confirmation and the invoice issued.
Interest on overdue payment will be charged at the rate applicable from time to time under the Norwegian Late Payment Interest Act (Forsinkelsesrenteloven).
Invoices are dated on the day the goods are dispatched from the warehouse or are available for collection. Payment terms: net 15 days unless otherwise agreed.
The Seller reserves the right to correct the order confirmation in the event of errors. A claim by the Buyer due to minor defects does not release the Buyer from payment. The Buyer has no right of set-off if the purchase is disputed.
The Seller reserves the right to require advance payment, a bank guarantee or credit insurance if the Buyer's creditworthiness changes materially.
Information concerning prices, recipes, formulations and other trade secrets exchanged between the parties is confidential and must not be shared with third parties without written consent. The duty of confidentiality also applies after the business relationship has ended.
Force majeure relieves the parties of liability if it prevents performance of the agreement, or makes performance unreasonably burdensome. Force majeure includes any obstacle beyond a party's control, including war, pandemic, natural disasters, fire, strikes, lockouts, import and export restrictions, and shortage of raw materials or transport.
The party invoking force majeure must notify the other party without undue delay.
The Seller's total liability under these terms, regardless of basis (breach of contract, negligence or otherwise), is in any event limited to the purchase price of the relevant delivery.
The Seller is not liable for indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, production loss, loss of contracts, loss of goodwill or claims from third parties.
These limitations of liability do not apply in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Seller.
Any disputes shall first be sought resolved by negotiation. If negotiations do not succeed, the dispute shall be decided by the ordinary courts, with Romerike District Court (Romerike tingrett) as the agreed venue.
Any claim against the Seller is time-barred 12 months after delivery of the relevant delivery, unless mandatory legislation requires a longer limitation period.
These terms apply from 30 March 2026 and supersede all previous versions of the general terms and conditions of sale and delivery of Notim AS.
The Seller reserves the right to update these terms. The current version is always available at www.notim.no. Changes apply to orders received after the publication date.
