Who it is for
What you need depends on what you do
Slovak law treats an e-shop, a freelancer, a company, an employer, a landlord and a private individual differently. The documents you need follow from which of them you are.
E-shop
Distance selling has stricter rules than a shop on the high street, because the customer cannot see the goods before buying. You need terms, a complaints procedure, a withdrawal form and a privacy policy, and the information duties have to be met before the order button, not after it.
- Terms and conditions
- Complaints procedure
- Privacy policy
- Cookie policy
Services on a trade licence
With services what matters is who the customer is. If it is a consumer, the consumer protection rules apply in full. If it is another business, you have more freedom in the contract but less protection from the law, so what you write down matters more.
- Client agreement
- Terms of service
- Privacy policy
- NDA
Digital content
Courses, e-books and subscriptions carry the same information duties as any e-shop, but withdrawal works differently: the customer can lose the right to withdraw once delivery starts, and only if you asked for consent in the right way beforehand.
- Terms for digital content
- Withdrawal information
- Privacy policy
- Licence terms
Companies and s. r. o.
For shareholders and managing directors of limited liability companies, from a single-shareholder s. r. o. to a company with several shareholders.
- Sole shareholder's decision
- General meeting minutes
- Share transfer
- Credit agreement
Employers
For sole traders and companies hiring their first employee, a student worker or someone on a work agreement, and for those who have employed people for longer and want to check they have everything.
- Employment contract
- Agreement on work outside employment
- Agreement on material liability
- Termination of employment
Landlords
For owners who let a flat for living in, or an office, shop or warehouse, whether as a private individual or as a company.
- Apartment lease
- Short-term flat lease agreement
- Commercial premises lease agreement
- Notice terminating a flat lease
Private individuals
For anyone who lends money to people they know, gives a gift, authorises someone to act for them, complains about goods or chases a debt, in other words for people outside business.
- Loan agreement
- Acknowledgement of debt
- Demand for payment
- Gift agreement
