The paper focuses on the question of whether the donor bears any private liability in connection with the donation, both in terms of the current, ie recodified regulation, and in the light of selected European regulations (Chapter 3 et seq.). However, in the introduction (Chapter 2) we ask ourselves whether certain actions of the entrepreneur called in general terms a gift (or a gift, advertising package, free third product offer, discount, free food tasting, a gift given by the entrepreneur in a consumer competition or free service testing). ), do they really bear the classic civilian designation of donation, ie can it really be understood as a normal donation contract in the regime of the Civil Code (§ 2055 et seq.)?
