Tell us about your matter →Why online stores work with us
Our team is four attorneys and an assistant. Your matter is always handled by an attorney.
- Two countries, one set of documents
An online store selling in Czechia and Slovakia needs terms covering both consumer law regimes. We prepare them together: working in both countries is our speciality.
- Prevention instead of fines
Consumer law changes more frequently than almost any other area, and regulators remain active. We draft documentation to stand up to inspection, not simply to look good.
- The full package, not a single document
Terms and conditions alone are not enough. They need complaints procedures, withdrawal information, cookies and personal data processing arrangements. We deliver them as a complete package.
Legal retainer
A legal department without hiring in-house.
A retainer covers your ongoing business legal work. We agree the monthly scope, response times and fee in advance, covering Czechia and Slovakia through one firm.
Legal Q&A
Common questions from online stores
-
Can our s. r. o. buy back its own business interest and hold it for future employees?
No. A limited liability company cannot acquire its own business interests unless the law exceptionally provides otherwise (Section 120(1) of the Commercial Code), so an s. r. o. cannot create an equity pool for future employees. Its participation programme must use another structure: options over existing members' interests, phantom equity, or conversion to a simple joint-stock company.

Must an agreement be in writing to be valid?
Most agreements are valid orally: Slovak law generally allows freedom of form. However, writing may be required by law, for example for property transfers, or by the parties themselves. If the prescribed written form is missing, the agreement is invalid. Amendments require a distinction between civil and commercial law: in a commercial relationship, merely signing the agreement in writing does not mean that every amendment must also be in writing. In practice, writing is recommended even where the law does not require it, for evidence and certainty.

How long does a customer have to return goods bought online?
A consumer may withdraw from a distance contract with an online shop within 14 days without giving a reason. For goods, the period starts on receipt. Statutory exceptions include custom-made goods and unsealed goods protected for hygiene reasons. If the seller fails to provide proper withdrawal information, the period extends by up to 12 months.
