zmlúv

Zmlúv is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun zmluva, meaning contract or agreement. In legal and administrative Slovak, zmlúv appears in phrases referring to contracts collectively or to the contents and effects of contracts, for example obsah zmlúv (contents of contracts) or právne dôsledky zmlúv (legal consequences of contracts).

A zmluva is a binding arrangement between two or more parties that creates rights and obligations. In Slovak civil law, a zmluva generally requires the mutual consent of the parties, a lawful and possible object, and the legal capacity to contract. Some contracts must be concluded in a prescribed form, typically in writing, to be effective or enforceable. Common types include zmluva o kúpe (purchase contract), zmluva o dielo (contract for work), zmluva o poskytovaní služieb (service contract), and nájomná zmluva (lease agreement).

Formation and performance of zmluvy (contracts) typically involve offer and acceptance, a defined subject matter, and the intended performance by the obligor. When a zmluva is breached, the aggrieved party may seek remedies such as damages,纠pute resolution, or specific performance, depending on the contract terms and applicable law. The interpretation of zmluvy relies on the ordinary meaning of the terms, the intent of the parties, and the contract’s context, with statutory rules guiding gaps or ambiguities.

In practice, zmlúv is most often encountered in legal texts and everyday discussions about contracts, where the genitive form is used to refer to multiple contracts or to the aspects and consequences of contracts in general.
