An eShop can be operated by both Czechs and foreigners. Czech entities and foreign branches need to obtain a trade license from the Czech Trade License Office, covering the intended scope of activity to be carried out by the eShop, unless they are registered elsewhere in the EU. Both individuals and companies must be registered in the Commercial Registry. Foreign entities, with an established eShop elsewhere in the EU, may wish to use a Czech Republic address. The operator of an eShop needs to determine which legal jurisdiction governs relationships with its customers to ensure that they fulfill all statutory obligations (e.g. rights and obligations of the parties to the contract, customer claims in the case of defects or limitation periods, etc.).
