Terms and conditions

Last update: 08 March 2024

This document ("General Terms") sets out the conditions under which we provide our company establishment and modification services, the safirconsulting.ro website and its subdomains, the platform, applications and related services (together, the "Services"), as well as other important aspects of the legal relationship between us and you

In addition to these General Conditions, we recommend that you read carefully:

  • privacy policy, which describes how we process your personal data,
  • Acceptable Use Policy, which sets out some of your responsibilities when using our Services as well as
  • any other policies, terms or legal notices communicated through the Services.

Together, they form a contract (the "Agreement") to which you must consent in order to use our Services.

We have tried to design the Contract in a clear and transparent way. If you have suggestions for improving the Contract or concerns about its clauses, you can contact us.

Contents:

1. The parties to the contract

provider

The provider of the Services and the person with whom you conclude the Contract is Safir Consulting SRL ("we" or "Safir Consulting"), a Romanian legal entity, with headquarters in Bucharest, Strada Baicului, no. 55 apartment 105, sector 2, CUI RO45734740.

In order to provide the Services, we rely on third-party providers, external collaborators and affiliated entities that assist us in data processing activities and providing certain elements of the Services. In the absence of a contract directly entered into between you and them, we retain responsibility for the activity of third-party providers, external collaborators and affiliated entities related to the provision of the Services. Our Third Party Providers, External Collaborators and Affiliated Entities page describes their identity and role.

beneficiary

The Beneficiary of the Services is you, as an individual or a legal entity.

If you are using the Services on your own behalf, when we say "you", we mean you as an individual. For example, if you benefit from our services for the establishment of a new commercial company in which you will be associated and pay the consideration for the services from your personal account, the Contract will be concluded between us and you as a natural person.

If the beneficiary of the Services is a legal entity, when we say "you", we mean the legal entity (SRL, SA, PFA, etc.) whose legal representative you are. For example, if you benefit from our services to modify a commercial company in which you are an administrator and pay the consideration for the Services from the company's account, the Contract will be concluded between us and the company you represent.

In certain circumstances, we will refer to you as "the Customer", and together we form the parties to the Agreement (the "Parties").

Expression of consent

To benefit from our Services you must accept the provisions of the Agreement. Please read the Agreement carefully before expressing your consent. The contract will be concluded by electronic means and may involve a payment obligation on your part.

You may express your consent to the Agreement by clicking a button or completing another action indicating your acceptance of the terms of the Agreement, when this option is available to you within the Services. For example, when you request us to provide the Services through our order form or access our document generation application, you must check the box to accept the General Terms. Regarding browsing the safirconsulting.ro website, accessing it implies acceptance of the Contract.

You may also express your consent in other ways that indicate your clear intention to be a party to the Agreement. For example, when you communicate to us a request in writing or in another durable form, through which you request us to provide the Services, including communicated by email or through an electronic messaging platform.

Any of the parties may assign the rights and obligations conferred under the Agreement, without the consent of the other party, if the assignment is related to a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of assets, or if it takes place by law.

The inability or delay of either party to exercise a right provided for in the Contract will not constitute a waiver of that right.

If a clause is found to be void or unenforceable under current law, the rest of the Contract will remain unaffected. The parties agree to modify such clauses in the spirit in which they were originally created.

All provisions of this Agreement which, by their nature, should survive termination of the Agreement will survive termination, including, without limitation, the intellectual property provisions, disclaimers of warranties, indemnities, limitations of liability and miscellaneous provisions.
