§ 41. The service provider's claims in the event of delay

In the event of delayed payment or cooperation (medvirkning) from the consumer (forbruker) that is not due to circumstances on the service provider's (tjenesteyter) side, the service provider may

stop the work and claim compensation (erstatning) for the costs and other loss caused by the suspension of work (stansing) under § 42,
cancel the contract under § 43 for the part of the service that remains, and claim settlement (oppgjør) upon cancellation of the contract (heving) under § 44,
claim interest (rente) and compensation for lost interest (rentetaperstatning) for loss due to delayed payment under § 45, and
withhold and, where applicable, sell under §§ 46 and 47 the item (ting) to which the work relates, and claim compensation for the costs of the care of it.

What does this mean?

The section is an overview of what the tradesperson can do when you pay or cooperate late, and the delay is not his fault. He can stop the work and claim compensation under § 42, cancel the agreement (avtale) under § 43 and claim settlement under § 44, and claim interest under § 45. He can also withhold and, where applicable, sell the item under §§ 46 and 47, and have the costs of looking after it covered. Each of these consequences is regulated in its own section in chapter VIII.
