Zákon č. 242/2026 Z. z. o zodpovednosti za škodu spôsobenú vadným výrobkom · Read the law's page

• This Act is enacted but does not apply yet: it applies to damage caused by a product placed on the market or put into service from 9 December 2026, and Act No. 294/1999 Z. z. keeps governing earlier products (Secs. 17, 19 and 20).
• If you develop, make or produce a product, software included, have it designed or made, or present yourself as its manufacturer by your name, trade mark or other distinguishing sign, you answer as its manufacturer; free and open-source software developed or supplied outside a business activity is outside the Act (Secs. 1(2)(a), 2(a) and (f), 6(1)).
• Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to keep the product safe while it is under your control: a defect caused by software, an update or upgrade, a missing necessary update, a related service or a substantial modification under your control is not excused on the ground that it arose after you placed the product on the market (Secs. 2(g), 7(1)(c) and 7(4)).
• Treat safety-relevant cybersecurity requirements and any recall or other corrective measure as part of what decides whether your product is defective (Sec. 5(2)(f) and (g)).
• Allow for what the product learns or acquires after it is placed on the market, because the effect of that ability is weighed in deciding whether it is defective (Sec. 5(2)(c)).
• Keep evidence you could produce if a court orders you to disclose it on a claimant's plausible claim: failing to disclose presumes the product defective (Secs. 14(1) and 15(2)(a)).
• Meet the binding product-safety requirements that protect against the harm: failing them presumes the product defective (Sec. 15(2)(b)).
• If you are a manufacturer outside the EU or the EEA, your importer, your authorized representative and, failing both, the logistics service provider answer in addition to you (Sec. 6(3)).
• If you distribute a product or run an online platform that lets consumers contract with traders, identify the liable person established in a Member State, or your own supplier, within one month of the injured person's request, or you answer for the damage (Sec. 6(4) and (5)).
• If you substantially modify a product outside the manufacturer's control and then make it available on the market or put it into service, you answer as a liable person (Sec. 6(6)).
• If you made only a component, be ready to prove that the design of the product it was incorporated into, or the product manufacturer's instructions, caused the defect (Secs. 6(2) and 7(2)).
• Do not rely on a contract term or a unilateral declaration to exclude or limit your liability to the injured person, because it is void (Sec. 8).
• Keep the claim periods in view: three years from when the injured person learned or could have learned of the damage, the defect and your identity, and ten years from when you placed the product on the market or put it into service, or 25 years for a delayed injury to health (Secs. 12 and 13).
