IT, online stores and brand protection
For software companies and online stores in both countries — from licences to terms and brand protection.
Technology companies need a lawyer who understands their business. We prepare software and licence agreements, contracts with developers and IT contractors covering copyright, SLAs and SaaS product terms.
For online stores selling in Czechia and Slovakia, we prepare terms covering both legal systems together. This practice area also includes brand protection: trade marks, copyright and domains.

The most common questions in this area
-
Who owns the copyright in software created for me by a supplier?
An author's economic rights are non-transferable. A program commissioned directly from its author generally falls under the employee-work regime, and the customer exercises the rights unless the parties agree otherwise. Where a company supplies the software, however, the customer does not automatically obtain every entitlement: rights from its employees and subcontractors must be checked, and an appropriate licence or an assignment of the right to exercise economic rights must be agreed. The contract should also address source code, modifications and further licensing.

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.

When does the AI Act apply, and who does it cover?
The AI Act applies progressively: the first general provisions and prohibitions from 2 February 2025, rules for general-purpose AI models from 2 August 2025, with 2 August 2026 remaining the general application date. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, however, postponed Chapter III, Sections 1 to 3, except Article 6(5): until 2 December 2027 for high-risk systems under Annex III and until 2 August 2028 for systems linked to regulated products under Annex I. It covers providers and businesses deploying AI; their specific duties depend on their role and the system.

Agile software development: a contract designed for sprints
Sprints do not fit a conventional contract for work: scope is flexible, software is delivered incrementally and acceptance is ongoing. A framework agreement with orders, budget caps, a definition of done and rules for the backlog and repository handover provides a solution.

The end of duty-free consignments up to EUR 150: online store rules from 1 July 2026

Paying for application development does not mean owning it. Without express terms, copyright law gives customers only narrow rights. The contract determines the rest: rights to the work, source code delivery, measurable SLAs and escrow if the supplier fails.
