Eftersalg

Eftersalg is a Danish term that translates roughly to after-sale. It denotes activities and processes that occur after the initial sale of a product or property. The term is used in business to describe both after-sales support and the handling of remaining inventory.

In retail and manufacturing, eftersalg comprises customer service, warranties, repairs, spare parts supply, and service contracts. The goal is to maintain product performance, extend lifespan, and preserve customer relationships after the sale. The eftersalg market is often supported by service centers, authorized repair networks, and parts distribution, with terms defined in warranties or service agreements.

In real estate and housing development, eftersalg refers to the sale of unsold units after the initial launch. Developers may offer late-stage discounts or special terms to attract buyers, and the eftersalg window can influence pricing and project financing.

Because eftersalg covers different contexts, the rights and obligations vary by sector and jurisdiction. In consumer protection regimes, after-sales rights typically include warranty coverage, refunds or replacements, and access to spare parts or service. The term thus encompasses both service-oriented activities and the resale of remaining inventory in various markets.

English equivalents include after-sales service or resale.
