The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 3-18. Service providers that offer to enter into an agreement using an electronic signature
What does this mean?
The section requires service providers (tjenesteytere) that let customers (kunder) enter into a financial agreement (finansavtale) with an electronic signature (elektronisk signatur) to have easily accessible information on how the customer reports misuse of the signature data. The requirement applies to the signatures the service provider itself accepts.
The section supplements § 3-17, under which the provider of the signature solution has duties related to reporting misuse. The terms are defined in § 3-16. Here, in other words, it is the service provider, not the provider of the signature solution, that must make the reporting procedures known to the customer. The section is in Chapter 3 on financial services (finansielle tjenester). The next section, § 3-19, concerns the signature holder's (rettighetshaverens) own duties.
