Swedish term or phrase: Vite utgår från och med den sjätte kalenderdagen efter leveransdag
I just want to be doubly sure I've understood this correctly - it concerns late delivery of items. Am I right in understanding that "penalties/fines are payable from and including the seventh calendar day following the agreed delivery date?"

Explanation:
It is a deduction for late delivery.
It certainly is not a "fine," even if it might be called a penalty.
