If someone has contractually agreed to pay a certain amount if an event happens, and that event happens, then yes, that person has to pay that amount if that event happens.

I can't speak for other jurisdictions, but Norwegian law explicitly says that you can't demand payment in that case, even if you have a contract that says otherwise.

æøå

The Norwegian law you referenced appears to say you can't charge for debt collection (unless conditions are met). This has nothing to do with debt collection. In fact it has nothing to do with debt. But you know what man, go ahead, try and scam someone with an NSF or decline and see how it goes.

(Disclaimer: I don't speak Norwegian or any of the other languages)

coo' coo', go try and scam someone with an NSF, see how it goes my man.

It does not work that way when selling services or goods to a person. In most jurisdictions, anyway.

It is highly regulated and it should be so.

You can only charge for things that you have delivered and only the ones which were requested/consumed.

You can repeat that as many times as you want but it won't make it any more relevant.
