Sale of surplus equipment without using Retrade
If www.Retrade.no is not used, the sale will be published in Norsk Lysningsblad/other press. Individual sales lists will operate on an auction system, with a deadline for bids. The individual sales lists appear on the right of the page.
Conditions of sale
The equipment is sold "as is", i.e. in its condition at the time of inspection, without guarantee and free from financial charges.
Administrative aspects
A bid is made per sales object on the current sales lists. Bids must be in writing and signed, and be valid for a minimum of 4 weeks from the deadline for bids. Bids are considered to have been submitted on time if they arrive at the delivery address before the deadline. The risk of delivery delays is borne by the tenderer.
Tenderers cover their own costs in connection with the auction, drawing up a bid, entering into a contract, inspection or similar.
The National Rail Administration retains the right to
- Reject officials who are managing/making decisions on sales or who are involved in the sale
- Reject bids that contain an unspecified price or that deviate materially from the sales conditions
- Reject all bids if all the prices offered are unacceptable
Terms of payment and delivery
Terms of payment are advance payment with a payment deadline 30 days from the invoice date. Proof of payment of invoice must be provided before the equipment is surrendered. The purchaser is liable for expenses in connection with removal and clearance.
The purchaser undertakes to fetch the equipment at the agreed address within 7 days of payment taking place or no later than 7 days after expiry of the payment deadline.
The purchaser undertakes to contact the seller at once if it becomes apparent that the terms of delivery cannot be complied with. If the equipment is not collected within 7 days, the seller will give written notice to the purchaser and provide a reasonable extended deadline.
If the purchaser does not comply with the extended deadline, the seller is entitled to resell the item (resale). The purchaser will then be refunded any purchase price paid less any costs associated with taking care of the equipment and costs associated with the resale, including any loss resulting from the resale achieving a lower purchase price.
Purchaser's liability for damages
If the purchase sum is not paid as agreed, the seller will charge interest on the purchase sum in accordance with Act no. 100 of 17 December 1976 concerning interest on late payments. If the purchaser fails to collect the equipment before the agreed deadlines, the seller will claim a refund of the costs accrued in taking care of the equipment. The seller may claim compensation for losses incurred as a result of breach of contract by the purchaser.
