kaupantekijä

Kaupantekijä is a Finnish term that translates to "seller" or "party to a sale" in English. It refers to an individual or entity that enters into a sales contract to transfer ownership of goods or services in exchange for payment. In the context of a transaction, the kaupantekijä is the one offering the item or service for sale.

The rights and obligations of a kaupantekijä are defined by contract law and consumer protection legislation. Generally, a kaupantekijä is obligated to deliver the goods or services as agreed upon, ensuring they conform to the description and are of satisfactory quality. They also have a duty to provide any necessary information about the product or service.

In return for fulfilling their obligations, the kaupantekijä has the right to receive payment from the buyer. If the buyer fails to pay, the kaupantekijä may have legal recourse to recover the outstanding amount. Consumer protection laws often provide additional safeguards for buyers, which can impact the kaupantekijä's responsibilities, such as providing warranties or accepting returns under certain conditions.

The term kaupantekijä is broadly applicable, covering both individual consumers selling personal items and businesses engaging in commercial transactions. The specific legal framework governing a kaupantekijä's actions can vary depending on the nature of the sale, the parties involved, and the jurisdiction.
