leveringsbetingelser

Leveringsbetingelser, in Danish commercial practice, are the terms that govern how and when goods are delivered under a contract for sale. They define the logistics of the delivery and how risk and costs are allocated between buyer and seller. A typical set of leveringsbetingelser specifies the place and time of delivery, the chosen transport method, who bears transport costs and insurance, and when the risk passes from seller to buyer.

Common elements also include acceptance and inspection obligations, rules for partial deliveries, remedies for late delivery or non-delivery, and any penalties or liquidated damages. Additional provisions may cover packaging, labeling, necessary documentation, conformity to standards, and regulatory compliance. In international trade, leveringsbetingelser often refer to recognized standards such as Incoterms, which clarify responsibilities for transport, risk transfer, and costs. In domestic trade, terms may be based on national law and customary business practices, and can be tailored to the specific transaction.

Enforceability and interaction with law: Leveringsbetingelser are part of the contract and require agreement by both parties. They interact with applicable national laws governing sales and contracts, such as the Danish købeloven for consumer sales and general contract law for business-to-business agreements. When disputes arise, these terms guide who bears costs and risks, what remedies are available for delays or non-delivery, and which governing law and dispute resolution procedures apply. Clear leveringsbetingelser help reduce ambiguity and support efficient execution of orders.
