The Norwegian Digital Content and Services Act will come into force on 1st January 2023. The act introduces a number of new restrictions on agreements for digital services and contents with consumers in terms of duration, termination and maximum commitment periods. Consumers are also given a number of mandatory minimum rights in respect of breach of contract, that are largely modeled on existing Norwegian consumer protection principles.<\/p>\n

The act is based on EU Directive 2019\/770 regarding certain aspects of agreements on the provision of digital content and digital services, but introduces important additional obligations for providers that are particular to Norway.<\/p>\n

Providers of digital services and content must revise terms, routines and customer journeys to comply with the new legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
