nákladom

Nákladom is a Czech word that translates to "at the expense of," "borne by," or "at the cost of" in English. It is a prepositional phrase used to indicate who or what is responsible for covering the costs or consequences of something.

This phrase is commonly encountered in financial and legal contexts, signifying that a particular entity, person, or organization will be the one to bear the financial burden or suffer the negative repercussions of an action or situation. For example, a contract might state that a certain service will be provided "nákladom objednávateľa," meaning at the customer's expense. Similarly, if a project fails, the statement "projekt bol ukončený nákladom zúčastnených spoločností" would imply that the involved companies bore the cost of its termination.

The term emphasizes the financial or consequential responsibility. It is a straightforward way to assign liability for expenses or negative outcomes. While often financial, "nákladom" can also refer to non-monetary costs or difficulties, though its primary usage leans towards economic expenditure. The grammatical structure typically involves the genitive case following the word "nákladom."
