Kupní smlouva: co musíte vědět, když kupujete laminát pro truhlářské projekty

When you buy kupní smlouva, právní smlouva mezi prodavatelem a kupcem, která zajišťuje závazky obou stran při nákupu zboží. Also known as obchodní smlouva, it is the only document that legally protects you when you pay for laminates used in door manufacturing or custom cabinetry. Without it, you’re just trusting a receipt – and that’s not enough when you’re spending thousands on material for professional work.

Many truhláři think a simple invoice is enough. It’s not. A proper kupní smlouva, formální smlouva obsahující detaily o zboží, ceně, dodací lhůtě a záruce. Also known as obchodní smlouva, it is the only document that legally protects you when you pay for laminates used in door manufacturing or custom cabinetry. must include the exact product code, thickness, wear class, color number, and batch ID. If your laminát has a defect – say, delamination after three months – you need proof you bought exactly that product from that supplier. No code? No claim. No batch number? Good luck proving it’s their fault.

And don’t forget the obchodní podmínky, soubor pravidel, které upravují způsob dodání, záruky, náhrady a vrácení zboží. Also known as obchodní podmínky dodavatele, they define what happens when things go wrong. Most suppliers hide these in fine print on their website. Print them. Read them. Keep them with the contract. If the supplier says they don’t accept returns after 14 days, but your laminát arrived damaged and you found out only after cutting it – your contract should override that. If it doesn’t mention damage claims or replacement terms, you’re at their mercy.

Also, check the delivery window. If you’re building custom doors for a client and the laminát arrives late, who pays for the delay? The contract should say. Some suppliers offer free shipping but charge for expedited delivery – make sure you know the costs upfront. And if you’re ordering from abroad – yes, even from Poland – the contract must state the currency, VAT status, and who handles customs. A simple mistake here can cost you hundreds in unexpected fees.

Don’t rely on verbal promises. “We’ll send you the matching edge banding next week” – write it in. “This batch is from the same production run as last time” – get it in writing. When you’re cutting laminát for 20 interior doors, consistency matters. One shade difference and your whole project looks cheap. Your contract is your insurance against that.

And if you’re buying in bulk? Make sure the contract includes a clause for partial deliveries. You don’t need 50 sheets all at once – you need 10 this week, 20 next month. A good supplier will allow that. A bad one will make you pay for the whole order upfront and hold the rest hostage.

You’re a professional. You don’t guess with materials. Why guess with paperwork? The right kupní smlouva doesn’t just protect your money – it protects your reputation. One bad job because of bad material? That’s one client lost. Ten? That’s your business in trouble.

Below you’ll find real examples and practical advice from truhláři who’ve been there – from how to spot a fake warranty to what to do when the supplier disappears after delivery. These aren’t theory pages. These are lessons learned the hard way.
