Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 7 September 2026

1. Website operator and scope

1.1. This website is operated by Dincescu A. Christofor – Cabinet de avocat (the “Law office”), an individual law office established and operating in accordance with Romanian law governing the legal profession.

The Law office has its professional address at 48 Arad St., ground floor, Sector 1, Bucharest, Romania, and fiscal identification number 48570537.

The Law office's professional activity is governed principally by Law no. 51/1995 on the organisation and practice of the legal profession, the Statute of the Legal Profession, adopted by UNBR Council Decision no. 64/2011, as subsequently amended, and the applicable rules of professional conduct. These rules may be consulted through the official websites of the Bucharest Bar and UNBR.

1.2. The website available at dincescu-law.eu (the “Website”) is owned and operated by the Law office.

1.3. These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Website. They do not govern the provision of legal services by the Law office. Any legal services accepted by the Law office are subject to a separate legal assistance agreement and to the mandatory rules governing the Romanian legal profession.

1.4. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to use it in accordance with these Terms of Use and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms affects any rights which cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

2. Purpose of the Website

2.1. The Website is intended to provide general information concerning the Law office, its areas of practice and professional activities and may also contain legal updates, articles, publications, commentary and other materials concerning Romanian, European Union or other relevant legal and regulatory developments.

2.2. All such content is provided for general information purposes only. It does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal, tax, accounting, financial or other professional advice.

The application and interpretation of legal rules depend upon the circumstances of each particular matter. You should obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances before acting, refraining from acting or making any decision on the basis of information contained on the Website.

2.3. Accessing the Website, reading or downloading its content, or contacting the Law office through the Website does not, by itself, create a lawyer-client relationship.

A professional engagement arises only where the Law office has accepted the engagement and a legal assistance agreement has been concluded in accordance with the applicable rules governing the Romanian legal profession.

2.4. References on the Website to the Law office's experience, practice areas, previous work or professional capabilities do not constitute a promise or guarantee of any particular result. The outcome of any legal matter depends upon its individual circumstances and factors which may be outside the Law office's control.

3. Accuracy and currency of information

3.1. The Law office takes reasonable care in preparing information published on the Website. Legal and regulatory rules, administrative practice and case law may, however, change after publication, and the information available on the Website may consequently cease to reflect the current legal position.

3.2. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Law office is under no obligation to update an article, publication or other material merely because the law, regulatory practice or circumstances to which it relates subsequently change.

The date of a publication should therefore be taken into account when assessing its relevance.

3.3. The Law office does not represent that the Website or any particular material available through it provides a comprehensive statement of the law applicable to any matter.

4. Contacting the Law office

4.1. Contact forms and contact details made available through the Website are intended to facilitate initial communication with the Law office.

Sending an enquiry does not oblige the Law office to accept an instruction, provide advice, undertake work, respond within any particular period or enter into a legal assistance agreement.

4.2. Until the Law office has expressly confirmed that it is able to consider or accept a proposed engagement, you must not rely upon the transmission of a message through the Website as a means of complying with a procedural, statutory, contractual or other deadline.

4.3. When making an initial enquiry, you should provide only the information reasonably necessary to identify the parties concerned and the general nature of the matter, so that any required professional conflict assessment may be carried out.

Nothing in these Terms limits any duty of professional secrecy or confidentiality which applies to the Law office under mandatory law or the rules governing the legal profession.

4.4. Submission of a CV or other application material does not constitute acceptance of an application, an invitation to interview, an offer of employment or professional collaboration, or an undertaking by the Law office to commence or continue a recruitment process.

5. Professional fees

5.1. Information contained on the Website does not constitute a quotation or an offer to provide legal services at a particular price unless expressly identified as such.

5.2. Professional fees for legal services are agreed separately between the Law office and the client in accordance with the applicable rules governing the Romanian legal profession and are recorded in the relevant legal assistance agreement.

6. Intellectual property

6.1. Unless otherwise indicated, the texts, articles, publications, graphics, design elements, photographs, logos and other original content appearing on the Website are owned by the Law office or are used by the Law office under an appropriate licence or other lawful basis.

Such materials may be protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights under Romanian and European Union law.

6.2. Subject to any rights belonging to third parties, you may view the Website and make reasonable copies of extracts from its content for your own personal or internal reference.

You may not, without the prior consent of the relevant rights holder:

• republish or commercially exploit substantial parts of the Website;

• reproduce or distribute protected content except as permitted by applicable law;

• materially alter protected content and present it as originating from the Law office;

• remove copyright, authorship or proprietary notices; or

• systematically extract or reproduce Website content in a manner which infringes applicable intellectual property rights.

6.3. Nothing in these Terms restricts any use which is expressly permitted by applicable copyright law, including lawful quotation, criticism, review or other statutory exceptions and limitations.

6.4. The Law office's name, logos and other elements of its professional visual identity may not be used in a manner which falsely suggests an association with, sponsorship by, approval by or endorsement from the Law office.

7. Links

7.1. You may link to publicly accessible pages of the Website provided that the link is made fairly and lawfully and does not falsely suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement by the Law office.

The Website may not be framed within another website, nor may its content be reproduced in a manner which obscures its source or misrepresents ownership or authorship.

7.2. The Website may contain links to websites, registers, legislation, regulatory materials or other resources operated by third parties.

Such links may be provided for information or convenience and do not, by themselves, constitute an endorsement of the relevant third party, its views, services or content.

7.3. The Law office does not control third-party websites and their use is subject to the terms, policies and practices of their respective operators.

8. Acceptable use

8.1. You must not use the Website:

• for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;

• in a manner which infringes the rights of the Law office or any third party;

• to introduce malicious software or other harmful code;

• to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers or related systems; or

• in a manner intended to disrupt, damage or materially impair the operation or security of the Website.

8.2. The Law office may take reasonable technical measures to protect the Website and may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect its systems, comply with legal obligations or address misuse.

9. Website availability and liability

9.1. The Law office takes reasonable measures to maintain the Website and protect its integrity but does not warrant that access will always be uninterrupted, that every technical error will be immediately corrected or that third-party infrastructure on which the Website depends will always remain available.

9.2. In particular, because the Website provides general information rather than advice tailored to the circumstances of a particular person or matter, users should not treat Website content as a substitute for obtaining appropriate professional advice.

9.3. Any liability arising in connection with the Website shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law, including liability which may not be excluded or limited in cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

Nothing in these Terms restricts any mandatory rights available to a consumer under Romanian or European Union law.

10. Privacy and cookies

10.1. The processing of personal data in connection with the Website is described separately in the Law office's Privacy Policy.

10.2. Information concerning cookies and similar technologies used by the Website is provided in the Law office's Privacy policy and, where applicable, through the Website's cookie-preference mechanism.

11. Changes to these Terms

11.1. The Law office may amend these Terms where reasonably necessary to reflect changes in applicable law, professional rules, the operation or functionality of the Website or the services and information made available through it.

11.2. The current version will be published on the Website together with the date of its latest revision. Amendments apply prospectively from their publication and do not amend an existing legal assistance agreement or affect rights or obligations which arose before the amendment.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

12.1. These Terms and the use of the Website are governed by Romanian law, subject to any mandatory provisions of Romanian, European Union or private international law which apply in a particular case.

Where a user qualifies as a consumer, the choice of Romanian law does not deprive that user of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law which would otherwise apply under the applicable rules of private international law.

12.2. Any dispute relating to the Website shall be submitted to the courts having jurisdiction under the applicable rules of Romanian and European Union law.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to bring proceedings exclusively before the courts of Bucharest where mandatory rules confer jurisdiction upon another court.

12.3. Disputes arising from the provision of legal services are governed by the relevant legal assistance agreement and by the statutory and professional rules applicable to the lawyer-client relationship and are not governed solely by these Website Terms of Use.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it shall apply only to the extent permitted by law and, where possible, shall be interpreted consistently with its lawful purpose. The remaining provisions shall continue to apply.
