Norwegian term or phrase: foretatt til armlengdes vilkår
Sentence given:
"Det opplyses om alle vesentlige transaksjoner og avtaler mellom naerstående parter, uavhengig av om de er foretatt til armlengdes vilkår."

This may seem obvious, so I apologise ahead of time if that is the case. I have reluctantly been coaxed into translating a Norwegian text, which I never do.

performed on arms' length terms and conditions
Explanation:
"The arm's length principle (ALP) is the condition or the fact that the parties to a transaction are independent and on an equal footing. Such a transaction is known as an "arm's-length transaction". It is used specifically in contract law to arrange an equitable agreement that will stand up to legal scrutiny, even though the parties may have shared interests (e.g., employer-employee) or are too closely related to be seen as completely independent (e.g., the parties have familial ties)."
