Website Disclaimer

1. General information

The information published on www.romania-for-business.com is provided by Romania For Business SRL for general informational and introductory purposes. The website contains general information concerning matters that may include:

• company formation and corporate administration in Romania;
• Romanian commercial and corporate law;
• licences, permits and regulatory procedures;
• taxation and accounting;
• employment and human-resources matters;
• immigration and relocation;
• real-estate transactions;
• banking and payment arrangements;
• public registrations and administrative procedures; and
• related professional and business-support services.

The website is intended to provide a general overview of selected topics and services. It is not intended to provide a complete statement of Romanian, European Union or foreign law, professional practice or administrative procedure.

2. No legal or professional advice

Nothing published on this website constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, immigration, employment, real-estate or other regulated professional advice. Website content is general in nature and may not reflect:

• the complete facts of a particular matter;
• the user’s nationality, residence or legal status;
• the legal form and activities of a particular business;
• applicable contractual arrangements;
• sector-specific regulations;
• local administrative practices;
• recent legislative or procedural developments; or
• the position adopted by a competent authority, court, bank, registry or other institution.

Users should not take, postpone or refrain from taking any legal, commercial, financial or administrative action solely on the basis of information available on this website.

Professional advice should be obtained in relation to the user’s particular facts, objectives, documents and circumstances.

3. No lawyer-client or professional relationship

Accessing or using the website does not create:

• a lawyer-client relationship;
• an accountant-client relationship;
• a tax-adviser relationship;
• a fiduciary relationship;
• a consultancy agreement;
• an agency relationship; or
• any other professional or contractual relationship.

Sending an email, submitting a contact form, requesting a quotation or participating in an initial discussion does not by itself establish a professional engagement. A professional relationship will arise only after Romania For Business SRL or the relevant separately identified professional has expressly accepted the engagement and any required conditions have been completed. These may include:

• identification and verification procedures;
• conflict-of-interest checks;
• anti-money-laundering and sanctions checks;
• confirmation of the requested scope of services;
• agreement on fees and expenses;
• receipt of required documents or advance payments; and
• execution or acceptance of an engagement letter, legal-assistance agreement, service order or other applicable contract.

Romania For Business SRL and any cooperating professional reserve the right to decline an engagement, subject to applicable law and professional rules.

4. Nature of Romania For Business services

Romania For Business SRL provides and coordinates business-support services relating to establishing and operating businesses in Romania. Certain services described on the website may be delivered by, or require the involvement of, separately authorised professionals or institutions, including:

• Romanian lawyers or authorised forms of legal practice;
• chartered accountants, accounting experts or tax consultants;
• notaries public;
• insolvency practitioners;
• translators and interpreters;
• auditors;
• immigration specialists;
• real-estate professionals;
• banks and payment institutions; and
• Romanian public authorities and registries.

Where a service must legally be performed by an authorised professional, it will be performed by the appropriately authorised person or professional entity under the applicable contractual and regulatory arrangements.

Unless expressly stated in writing, Romania For Business SRL does not represent that every service described on the website is performed directly by Romania For Business SRL itself.

5. No guarantee of results

Descriptions of services, processes, anticipated outcomes or usual timeframes are illustrative only. Romania For Business SRL does not guarantee:

• that a company, branch, association or other entity will be registered;
• that a proposed company name will be accepted;
• that a licence, permit, visa, residence right or authorisation will be issued;
• that a bank or payment provider will open or maintain an account;
• that a transaction will be approved or completed;
• that a tax, employment, immigration or regulatory position will be accepted;
• that a public authority will respond within a particular period;
• that a court or authority will adopt a particular interpretation;
• that a commercial counterparty will perform its obligations; or
• that a particular business activity will be profitable or successful.

Decisions are made independently by courts, public authorities, registries, banks, notaries, professional bodies, contractual counterparties and other third parties. Past results, examples, testimonials, case descriptions or general statements concerning previous matters do not guarantee the same or a comparable result in another matter.

6. Laws and procedures may change

Romanian and European Union laws, regulations, administrative procedures, official fees, tax rates, filing requirements and institutional practices may change.

Website content may therefore become outdated after publication, even where it was accurate when originally prepared.

Publication dates and review dates indicate when content was prepared or reviewed. They do not constitute a representation that no subsequent change has occurred.

Romania For Business SRL is not obliged to update every page immediately following a legislative, regulatory, judicial or administrative development.

Users requiring current information should request confirmation before relying on any website content.

7. Accuracy and completeness

Romania For Business SRL seeks to publish useful and reasonably accurate information. However, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it does not warrant or represent that website content is:

• complete;
• continuously current;
• free from errors or omissions;
• suitable for every user or purpose;
• consistent with every authority’s practice;
• available without interruption; or
• applicable to a particular transaction or factual situation.

Website content may simplify complex legal or professional concepts for readability. Such simplification may omit exceptions, qualifications or procedural details that are material in a specific case.

Users who identify a potential error may contact Romania For Business SRL at info@romania-for-business.com.

8. Quotations, estimates and fees

Any fee, cost, price or timeframe displayed on the website is indicative unless expressly stated otherwise. An indicative amount may exclude:

• value-added tax;
• government and registry fees;
• notarial fees;
• legalisation, apostille and translation expenses;
• courier and travel costs;
• banking charges;
• third-party professional fees;
• disbursements;
• compliance or due-diligence costs; and
• costs arising from additional work or unforeseen circumstances.

A quotation becomes binding only to the extent expressly confirmed in a written contractual document issued or accepted by Romania For Business SRL or the relevant service provider.

Website content does not constitute an irrevocable offer to provide services at a particular price.

9. Tax, financial and investment matters

Information concerning taxes, accounting, business costs, incentives, funding, banking or financial arrangements is general information only. It does not constitute:

• personalised tax advice;
• accounting advice;
• an investment recommendation;
• financial planning;
• securities advice;
• credit advice; or
• a guarantee regarding the tax or financial treatment of a transaction.

Tax consequences depend on factors that may include residence, domicile, ownership structure, beneficial ownership, source of income, transaction structure, applicable treaties and changes in legislation.

Users should obtain personalised advice from appropriately authorised professionals before making tax, financial or investment decisions.

10. Immigration and residence information

Information concerning visas, work authorisations, residence permits, citizenship or immigration procedures is general in nature.

Immigration outcomes depend on the applicant’s personal circumstances, nationality, documents, travel history, purpose of stay and the assessment of the competent authorities.

No website statement guarantees that an application will be accepted, processed within a particular period or decided on particular terms.

Users should not make irreversible travel, employment, housing or financial arrangements solely in reliance on general website information.

11. Third-party websites and resources

The website may contain links to websites, portals, databases, maps, platforms or documents operated or published by third parties. Links may include resources provided by:

• Romanian or European Union authorities;
• courts and public registries;
• professional bodies;
• banks and payment institutions;
• commercial service providers;
• news or publishing organisations; and
• social-media or communications platforms.

A link is provided for convenience or reference and does not necessarily constitute endorsement, approval or verification of the third party or its content.

Romania For Business SRL does not control and is not responsible for the availability, security, accessibility, privacy practices, accuracy, legality or content of independent third-party services.

Users access third-party websites subject to the terms and policies established by their operators.

12. Third-party professionals and referrals

Romania For Business SRL may introduce, recommend, coordinate with or provide contact details for independent professionals or service providers.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing:

• the third party acts independently;
• the third party is responsible for its own professional work;
• the user is responsible for deciding whether to engage that third party;
• Romania For Business SRL does not guarantee the third party’s availability, performance or outcome; and
• the third party’s services may be governed by a separate agreement, fee arrangement and professional rules.

Nothing on the website should be interpreted as creating a partnership, employment relationship or general agency between Romania For Business SRL and every third party mentioned or linked.

Where Romania For Business SRL is contractually responsible for subcontracted or coordinated services, the applicable responsibility will be determined by the relevant service agreement and mandatory law.

13. Email and electronic communications

Electronic communications may be delayed, intercepted, misdirected, corrupted or affected by malware.

Users should not send highly sensitive, privileged or time-critical information solely through an ordinary website form or unencrypted email unless an appropriate communication method has been agreed. Romania For Business SRL does not guarantee that:

• a message has been received merely because it was sent;
• a message will be reviewed immediately;
• an unsolicited deadline will be monitored;
• an attachment can be safely opened; or
• electronic communications will remain confidential in all circumstances.

A user who is subject to a legal, contractual, tax, filing, appeal or procedural deadline remains responsible for obtaining timely confirmation and appropriate professional assistance.

14. Cybersecurity and technical availability

Romania For Business SRL takes reasonable steps to maintain the website and protect its systems. Nevertheless, no internet service can be guaranteed to be continuously secure or available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Romania For Business SRL does not warrant that the website will be:

• uninterrupted;
• error-free;
• free from viruses or harmful code;
• compatible with every device or browser;
• immune from unauthorised access; or
• continuously available at a particular speed or location.

Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate security controls, backups, antivirus protection and safe browsing practices.

Romania For Business SRL may suspend or restrict website access for maintenance, security, operational or legal reasons.

15. Artificial intelligence and automated tools

Certain content, translations, summaries, research support or administrative processes may be assisted by technological or automated tools.

Any technology-assisted output used in the provision of an expressly commissioned professional service will be subject to the review procedures applicable to that service.

Users should not assume that an automated website response, chatbot response, preliminary calculator, generated summary or similar function constitutes final professional advice.

Where there is any inconsistency between an automated output and written advice expressly issued by the responsible professional, the expressly issued written advice will prevail, subject to the terms of the relevant engagement.

16. User responsibility

Users are responsible for:

• evaluating whether general website information is relevant to their circumstances;
• obtaining personalised professional advice where appropriate;
• providing complete, accurate and timely information when requesting services;
• independently verifying important dates, fees and requirements;
• protecting their devices and account credentials;
• reading the contractual terms applicable to any commissioned service; and
• complying with applicable laws and official requirements.

Users must not rely on the website as a substitute for reviewing original legislation, official decisions, contractual documentation or advice tailored to the matter concerned.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Romania For Business SRL will not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from reliance on general website information where no professional engagement covering the relevant matter has been accepted. This limitation may apply, where legally permissible, to:

• indirect or consequential loss;
• loss of opportunity;
• loss of anticipated profit;
• business interruption;
• reputational loss;
• loss resulting from outdated or incomplete general information;
• decisions made by public authorities or independent third parties;
• interruption or unavailability of the website; and
• use of independent third-party websites or services.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes, limits or seeks to exclude or limit liability:

• where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law;
• for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• for intentional misconduct or gross negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• for injury to physical or mental integrity or health where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• for liability arising under an expressly accepted professional engagement, except to the extent lawfully limited by the relevant contract; or
• in any other situation in which an exclusion or limitation would be invalid, abusive or unenforceable.

Where the user is a consumer, this Disclaimer applies without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights and protections.

18. Relationship with service agreements

This Disclaimer governs the use of general website content. It does not replace the terms of a specific:

• legal-assistance agreement;
• engagement letter;
• service agreement;
• quotation accepted as a contract;
• power of attorney;
• accounting or tax-services agreement;
• third-party professional agreement; or
• other written contractual document.

Where a conflict exists between this Disclaimer and an expressly accepted contract for professional services, the contract will prevail in relation to the commissioned services, subject to mandatory law.

19. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website’s original text, layout, graphics, branding and other materials are owned by or licensed to Romania For Business SRL and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Users may view, print or download reasonable extracts for personal or internal business reference.

Website materials may not be reproduced, republished, sold, systematically extracted, modified or presented as professional advice supplied by the user without prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly permits such use.

Quotations from legislation, public documents and third-party materials remain subject to their respective legal status and rights.

20. No endorsement or official affiliation

References to Romanian ministries, authorities, courts, registries, municipalities, European Union institutions, banks, professional organisations or commercial entities do not imply that Romania For Business SRL is officially affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of those organisations.

Romania For Business SRL is not a Romanian government authority, company registry, court, tax authority, immigration authority, bank or European Union institution.

Official applications and decisions remain subject to the authority and procedures of the competent institution.

21. Jurisdictional limitations

The website is primarily concerned with services and matters connected with Romania.

Information on the website should not be treated as advice concerning the law of another jurisdiction.

Users located outside Romania are responsible for obtaining advice concerning any foreign legal, tax, regulatory, sanctions, reporting or professional requirements that may also apply to them.

The fact that the website can be accessed from another country does not constitute a representation that its content or services are lawful, suitable or available in every jurisdiction.

22. Changes to this Disclaimer

Romania For Business SRL may amend this Disclaimer to reflect:

• changes to the website or services;
• changes in applicable law;
• new technologies or website functions;
• changes to professional relationships;
• operational requirements; or
• corrections and clarifications.

The updated version will be published on the website with a revised effective date or review date.

Continued use of the website after publication of an amendment will be subject to the version then available, without prejudice to rights arising under an existing contract.

23. Severability

If any provision of this Disclaimer is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent legally possible.

24. Governing law

This Disclaimer and the use of the website are governed by Romanian law, subject to any mandatory rights or conflict-of-law rules that apply to the user.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory provisions that cannot lawfully be excluded under the law otherwise applicable to that consumer.

Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts determined under applicable Romanian and European Union procedural law, unless the parties have validly agreed otherwise.
