There are some requirements to consider for us to be able to process a claim.  We can provide you with our a standard form for you to fill in all required information. The requirements for documentation and information are regulated by the Norwegian Carriage of Goods by Road Act and NSAB 2000.

The claim must come from the party that has the direct business relationship with ColliCare, in most cases this is not the recipient.
This means when there is a deviation the recipient of the goods must contact their supplier.

Remember it is important to get the claim sent to us quickly. If you do not have all the documentation and information at hand, it can be added later. 

• Confirmation: The customer receives confirmation that the claim has been received.
• Accepted claims: The customer is informed in writing and is authorised to send an invoice to cover damages.
• Rejected claims: The customer is informed in writing and will always receive an explanation. All documentation is returned to the customer.
• Disputing our decision: Must be submitted in writing and justified.

IMPORTANT:

The claim must be accepted in writing by ColliCare before you send an invoice. We will send you a specific reference number for the invoice.

• Visible damage: Without undue delay (promptly upon delivery), within 7 work days at the latest.
• Hidden damage: Damages discovered after the packaging is removed: Within 7 work days.
• Late notice: The burden of proof is reversed, and the customer must prove that the damage occurred during transport.

Claimed goods should not be removed, sold, scrapped or repaired. In the unlikely event this occurs, the right to compensation lapses. Until the matter is clarified and liability is determined the goods should at all times be placed at the carrier's disposal for inspection, or be picked-up if they are  replaced.

We strive to handle claims as quickly as possible. We fully understand that damaged goods take up space at our customers, and work to solve the situation as quickly as possible. If the goods constitute a risk to life and health in any way, they can be destroyed,

According to the law goods are not considered lost until after 30 or 60 days. For deliveries with fixed delivery times, 30 days applies, and for other consignments 60 days. The deadline is from order date, and you are not entitled to compensation until this deadline has passed.
If the goods are found within the deadline, the right to compensation lapses.

If ColliCare is  unable to locate the goods within the deadline and compensation is paid, the customer can claim the goods back even after the deadline. This must be done in writing and the goods are returned when the compensation is refunded. If ColliCare does not receive such a request, rights to the goods accrue to ColliCare after payment of compensation.

We do our best, but in rare cases things may not go as planned, and consignments can be delayed. ColliCare follows a transport schedule for all deliveries, but note that transport schedule is not a legally binding document. This means that if the goods arrive late, but within a reasonable time, the goods are not replaced. Any claim will be limited to the freight costs.

Note: The customer must able to prove a financial loss due to the delay.

For events defined as force majeure, i.e. extraordinary events beyond our control, ColliCare will not be liable.

In cases of theft or burglary ColliCare will notify affected customers and report cases to the police immediately. Compensation claims against ColliCare are handled as for any loss.

Upon receipt of goods the recipient is obliged to inspect the goods and ensure that the correct number of items is delivered in good condition before signing the waybill. If the recipient signs without taking the time to inspect the goods and the waybill, they will unfortunately have a weak case if the damage turns out to have been visible upon reception. All discrepancies must be noted on the waybill.

In case of hidden damage, the situation is obviously different.

A damage not detected before unwrapped, is considered a hidden damage.
