The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 2. Exceptions from the scope (virkeområde) of the Act
The Act does not apply to package holidays (pakkereiser) and linked travel arrangements (sammensatte reisearrangementer) which
- last less than 24 hours and do not include overnight accommodation (innkvartering)
- are offered or arranged occasionally on a non-profit basis and only to a limited group of travellers (reisende), or
- are purchased on the basis of a general agreement between traders (næringsdrivende) for the purchase of business travel.
What does this mean?
The section excludes two groups of journeys from the Act. The first is short trips of less than 24 hours without an overnight stay, when they are offered occasionally, on a non-profit basis and only to a limited group. The second is journeys purchased under a general agreement between traders on business travel. The section is an exception to § 1, which states who the Act applies to. Otherwise, the definitions of package holiday and linked travel arrangement in § 6 and § 7 decide what is covered.
