1.1 Which legislative and regulatory provisions govern franchising in your jurisdiction?
The franchising relationship is not specifically regulated as an explicit type of contract.
Under Slovak law, franchising agreements are considered a non-specific contract (
sui generis) which, depending on each individual case, will combine elements of several other types of contracts (eg, lease contracts, licensing contracts, agency contracts, distribution agreements, cooperation agreements).
The Commercial Code, the Civil Code (40/1964 Coll, as amended), the Trademark Act (506/2009 Coll, as amended) and other statutes will likely apply to the franchising relationship.
