The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 47. Duty of care (omsorgsplikt) and right to sell (salgsrett)
(1) The service provider (tjenesteyter) shall take due care of items (ting) that are retained under § 46 or that are not taken over in due time by the consumer (forbruker). The service provider may demand that the consumer cover reasonable costs of the care.
(2) The service provider may sell items as mentioned in accordance with the rules in Act of 29 May 1953 No. 1 on the Act on Craftsmen's Right to Sell Uncollected Items (lov om rett for handverkarar o.a. til å selja ting som ikkje vert henta).
What does this mean?
If the tradesperson holds an item that has been retained under § 46, or that you do not collect in time, he must take proper care of it. He can demand that you cover reasonable costs of the storage.
The second paragraph allows him to sell the item. The rules for the sale itself are not set out here, but in a separate act from 1953 on tradespeople's right to sell items that are not collected. The provision is part of the list of claims in the event of the customer's delay (forsinkelse) that § 41 sets out.
