Retail contract

The Contract on Collective Compliance intended for the seller to the consumer in the predominant scope.

If your company meets the conditions below, you can sign a so-called retail contract:

1. sells packaged goods at retail (to end consumers) to a predominant scope (sales to consumers > 50%) and
2. for all the packaging that the company places into circulation, it can be proven that the obligations according to Sections 10 to 12a of the Packaging Act are properly fulfilled by another company

After concluding the so-called retail contract, you are filling out a quarterly report of the retail type, which applies only to the packaging that your company places on the market (i.e. own imports and own packaging). Therefore, you do not register the packaging that you place into circulation.

The general terms and conditions (GTC) are identical to the standard terms and conditions.

The main differences in the Contract on Collective Compliance of the retail type compared to the standard version:

Part I., paragraph 4

The customer expressly declares that he puts the packaging on the market or into circulation by selling it to end consumers in the predominant extent and that in relation to all the packaging the company places into circulation, it is demonstrable that the obligations according to Sections 10 to 12a of the Packaging Act are properly fulfilled by another company. The customer undertakes to ensure that this other company will demonstrably fulfill the obligations according to Sections 10 to 12a of the Packaging Act in relation to all packaging that the customer places on the market, for the entire duration of the contract concluded between the customer and the supplier. In the event that the customer’s statement according to this paragraph turns out to be false, the supplier is entitled to withdraw from the contract without further ado.

Part. I., paragraph. 5

Concerning the statement of the customer in the previous paragraph of the contract, the contracting parties conclude the retail version of the contract in accordance with Part IV of the General Terms and Conditions. 

If your company is not established in the Czech Republic, it is entitled to appoint an authorised representative. Furthermore, a company who, through the use of means of distance communication (internet), sells single use plastic packaging or packaging means listed in parts C or D of Annex No. 4 to the Packaging Act directly to consumers or other end users in the Czech Republic from another state where the company is established, is obliged to appoint an authorised representative for the purpose of fulfilling the duties established by this law. You can find a retail agreement with an authorised representative here.
