Danish Sale of Goods Act

Main points

• Overdue delivery or defective goods are considered breaches of contract on the seller's part.
• Overdue payment or non-payment are considered main breaches of contract on the buyer's part.
• Seller's breach of contract may cause the customer to claim damages, rescind the contract of sale or demand goods delivered to replace the defective ones.
• The rules of commercial sale are the most restrictive ones.
• Any delay usually makes it possible for the customer to rescind the contract of sale or claim damages.
• Defective goods of any kind must immediately be reported to the seller.
• The Sale of Goods Act's provisions on defective goods and overdue delivery can be departed from through terms of sale and delivery. However, most trades have set forth individual customs impeding full disclaimer of any provisions. Otherwise, they will never see any customers.
