• You may reproduce a lawfully accessible work for text-and-data-mining purposes without the author's permission or remuneration, unless the rightsholder has expressly reserved that use (Article 22-2).
• Check for that reservation before mining: for content publicly available online, the appropriate means of reserving the use is a machine-readable one, and do not mine content whose use is reserved.
• A research organization or cultural-heritage institution may reproduce a lawfully accessible work for non-commercial text-and-data-mining research without permission or remuneration, keeping the copies under restrictions on their use and distribution and retaining them for research purposes, including to verify the research results; a contract term barring reliance on this exception is void (Article 22-1).
• The same pairing reaches a database's contents: research organizations and cultural-heritage institutions may extract a database for text-and-data-mining research unconditionally (Article 63(1)(6)), and any lawful user may do so for text-and-data-mining purposes unless the use is reserved (Article 63(1)(7)).

• If you are an information-society service provider, obtain the electronic press publisher's permission before reproducing an electronic press publication or part of it, or making it publicly available online (Article 57-1).
• You need not obtain it for an individual user's private or non-commercial use, a hyperlink, individual words from the publication, or an extract of 125 or fewer print characters, not counting the heading and spaces.
• The right does not reach a publication first published before 6 June 2019.

• These rules are enacted but do not apply yet: they apply from 9 December 2026, and the Civil Code rules in force until 8 December 2026 keep governing products placed on the market or put into use before then (Art. 3 of Act No. XV-1080).
• If you develop or make a product, software included, or present yourself as its manufacturer by putting your name, trade mark or another distinguishing sign on it, you answer as its manufacturer for damage a defect in it causes (Arts. 6.292(1) and 6.293(1) point 1 and (2)).
• Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to keep the product safe while it is within your control: you keep control if you integrate or supply a component or can supply updates or upgrades yourself or through a third party, and a defect caused by software, by an update or upgrade, or by a missing update needed for safety is not excused because it arose after you placed the product on the market (Arts. 6.292(3) and 6.298(1) point 1).
• Treat safety-relevant cybersecurity requirements and any recall or other corrective action as part of what decides whether your product is defective (Art. 6.294(1) points 6 and 7).
• 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 (Art. 6.294(1) point 3).
• Keep evidence you could produce if a court orders you to disclose it: failing to disclose relevant evidence the claimant requested presumes the product defective (Art. 6.297(1) point 1).
• Meet the product-safety requirements that apply to your product: failing a requirement that protects against the risk of the harm suffered presumes it defective (Art. 6.297(1) point 2).
• If you are outside the EU, your importer or authorized representative established in the EU answers for the product in your place, and where there is neither, the fulfilment service provider answers (Art. 6.292(4)).
• If you distribute a product, or run an online platform that lets consumers conclude distance contracts with traders where the conditions of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 are met, name the manufacturer, importer, authorized representative, fulfilment service provider or your own supplier within a month of the injured person's request, or you answer for the damage (Art. 6.292(5)).
• If you substantially modify a product outside the manufacturer's control and then place it on the market or put it into use, you answer as its manufacturer (Art. 6.292(2)).
• If you build a software component into a product, you have no recourse against the maker of a defective software component that was a micro or small enterprise when it placed the component on the market, where you waived recourse in your contract with it (Art. 6.296(2)).
• Free and open-source software developed or supplied outside commercial activity is outside these rules (Art. 6.299(2)).
• A claim must be brought within three years of the day the injured person learned, or should have learned, of the damage, the defect and who the liable operator is, and the right to sue is extinguished ten years after the product was placed on the market or put into use, or 25 years where a court finds that a later-revealed injury prevented suit within ten (Art. 6.300).
