§ 33. Limitations of compensation

To the extent that transport legislation limits the extent of or the conditions for compensation from a carrier, the same limitations apply to the organiser.
If the organiser's liability for compensation is not limited under the first paragraph, the organiser may limit compensation in the package holiday contract, but not to less than three times the total price of the package holiday. The limitations of compensation do not apply to personal injury or damage caused intentionally or negligently.

What does this mean?

The first paragraph says that the limits transport legislation (transportrettslig lovgivning) sets on a carrier's (transportør) liability for compensation (erstatningsansvar) also apply to the organiser (arrangør). The second paragraph allows the organiser to set a limitation in the contract when the liability is not already limited in that way. The limit cannot be set lower than three times the total price (samlet pris) of the trip. Nor does the limitation apply to personal injury (personskade) or to damage caused deliberately or through carelessness. The section builds on § 32 on compensation (erstatning), and § 34 governs the relationship to transport legislation.
