Sales - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is OPR?

OPR, or Restricted Property Law, consists in the exercise of certain rights on someone else's property, which the owner is normally entitled to.

  • Use - the content of the right of use is the use of things and the collection of benefits (Article 252 of the Civil Code). The scope of use varies, depending on who is the subject of use. The use of real estate can be limited to its marked part. Example: Orange Polska (formerly Telekomunikacja Polska) sells the entire property. Orange Polska is entitled to use several rooms in the building of the new owner on the basis of the right of use. The use is created by a declaration of the property owner submitted in the form of a notarial deed. It can be paid or free of charge. The right of use is subject to entry in section III of the land and mortgage register.
  • Transmission easement - is established for the Telecommunications Operator pursuant to art. 3051-4 KC. Example: Orange Polska sells the entire property. Transmission easement is established for the telecommunications infrastructure remaining in the ground.

What is the difference between an OPR and a lease?

The use and easement of transmission are limited property rights (OPR), and the rental, lease or lending agreement is an obligation law. The difference is that the established rights in rem are indefinite (for the period of leaving telecommunications equipment in operation) with an entry in the land and mortgage register (section III) and only the entitled person, i.e. Orange Polska / a company from the Orange Group, may waive this right. In the case of obligation contracts, both parties may terminate their legal relationship with an appropriate period of notice.

The intention is that Orange Polska acquires the proprietary copyrights to works created by the Intermediary and published by Orange Polska as part of the contract if any are created at all. These are standard provisions in Orange Polska's agreements, and in the case of agency agreements, they will find practical application rather rarely and may apply, for example, to presentations of a creative nature created by the Intermediary and provided to Orange Polska, e.g. a promotional film about a real estate owned by Orange. Article 10 is intended to protect the interests of Orange Polska in the event that the Broker publishes such work to Orange Polska, and Orange Polska accepts it in good faith, and then it turns out that, for example, the copyrights were owned by a third party and the Broker was not entitled to transfer them on Orange Polska.

How can the Intermediary protect himself against charging a contractual penalty?
