1. About WhyRomania
WhyRomania ("WhyRomania," "we," "us," or "our") is a curated travel platform showcasing the destinations, experiences, history, and businesses of Romania. WhyRomania is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], registered at [REGISTERED ADDRESS], [REGISTRATION NUMBER].
WhyRomania is not a travel agency, a booking platform, or an event promoter. We do not sell trips, accommodation, tickets, or transport directly. Our purpose is to inform, inspire, and connect visitors with Romania's regions, so they can plan their own trip with confidence.
2. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using the WhyRomania website (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
3. What We Do (and Don't Do)
- We publish original and curated content about Romanian destinations, experiences, regions, and history.
- Where we feature a hotel, restaurant, café, or other business, that listing may be a paid placement.
- Where a listing includes a "Check availability," "Book," or similar link, that link takes you to a third-party website (the business itself, or a booking platform such as Booking.com). WhyRomania does not process bookings, payments, or reservations on this Site, and is not a party to any booking, purchase, or contract you make with a third party.
- We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, pricing, cancellation policy, or service quality of any third-party business or platform you are redirected to. Any dispute regarding a booking or purchase is between you and that third party.
4. Business Listings and Inquiries
If you submit the "list your business" form, you are sending us an inquiry to be considered for a paid placement on the Site. Submitting the form:
- Does not guarantee that your business will be listed.
- Does not create any contract, subscription, or payment obligation on its own.
- Will result in us contacting you (by email or phone) to discuss listing options, pricing, and terms, which will be confirmed separately in writing before anything goes live.
5. Intellectual Property
All original photography, video, text, design, and branding on this Site — including content filmed and produced by our collaborators — is the property of WhyRomania or its licensors, and is protected by copyright. You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, or use this content commercially without our prior written permission.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.

- Scrape, copy, or republish Site content at scale without permission.
7. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites (booking platforms, hotel and restaurant websites, social media, transport providers). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party website.
8. Disclaimer
The Site and its content are provided "as is." While we make a reasonable effort to keep information accurate and current, we do not guarantee that all content (including opening hours, prices, availability, or travel conditions) is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times. Always verify time-sensitive details directly with the business or service provider before you travel.
