What does this mean?

This section is the Act's penalty provision. It applies to anyone who, intentionally or negligently (without the necessary care), breaks the rules in Chapter 8 on travel guarantees, or regulations (forskrift) issued under them. The penalty is fines or imprisonment for up to three months. Breaches of other parts of the Act are not punished under this section. Certain breaches may instead lead to an administrative fine (overtredelsesgebyr) under § 52, and the supervision of them follows from § 51. All three sections belong to Chapter 10. In addition, § 50 concerns the complaints board (tvistenemnd).
