Please read carefully the “terms and conditions” set out below, the privacy policy and the cookie policy, as they govern your legal rights and obligations arising from accessing and using the rabit.ro platform.

Continued use of the rabit.ro platform implies the unconditional acceptance of the conditions set out in this document.

All users of the rabit.ro platform undertake to comply with the general terms of use of the services/products/information and, in general, of the entire content of the Platform.

1. Information about the rabit.ro platform

The rabit.ro website is administered by Rabit Management Solutions S.R.L., a legal entity registered and lawfully operating in Romania under number J12/3920/2019, with its registered office in Cluj-Napoca, Str. Dimitrie Onciul, nr. 21b.

Rabit Management Solutions is the owner and developer of the online platform rabit.ro, available at www.rabit.ro.

Rabit Management Solutions developed the rabit.ro platform as software and a system used for planning and managing the entire supply chain, production, services, financial and other processes of an organisation. Clients automatically undertake that they are willing to pay a price for the use of the platform, according to a pricing plan in the form of a monthly subscription.

Rabit Management Solutions is not a service provider, as it is not involved in any way in the management of a business; it is merely a technology developer which, by means of the application it has developed, facilitates the internal management of a company.

At present, the rabit.ro platform provides access to users located on the territory of Romania.

2. Terms

Rabit Management Solutions has developed an online platform, rabit.ro, which helps companies manage efficiently and in a unified manner all the processes necessary to carry on their business. The Beneficiary who is looking for or needs such a platform will access it and register on it on their own.

In particular, in order to eliminate any misunderstanding, we emphasise that the platform assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy, correctness or authenticity of the information entered on the platform by the Beneficiary’s employees; they assume full responsibility for the processes that depend on them.

“The rabit.ro Platform” shall hereinafter be referred to as the Site, the Platform or the Online Platform.

“Terms and Conditions” means the legal agreement between the User and Rabit Management Solutions, on the basis of which all aspects of their interaction are governed. At the same time, it represents the legal agreement whereby the Users of the Platform assume responsibility for the use of the platform and for the data uploaded and handled on it.

“Beneficiary” means a User who has opted to create a Beneficiary account and who may use the services of the platform by accessing it, or a User who has benefited from an online session after paying for it.

“rabit.ro Content” means any text material, graphics, images, sounds, software product, audio, video, information or other materials displayed on the Platform.

“User Content” means all the content that a User chooses to write, upload or display in their User account, as a beneficiary, as well as within the documents that they send to other users or to other persons outside the platform.

“Total Fee” means the amount that the Beneficiary pays so that they and the employees of their company may have access to the platform, and is calculated as a fixed price, set and displayed on the platform, multiplied by the number of users of the respective company.

Rabit Management Solutions reserves the right to change the per-user fee at any time, at its sole discretion, without any prior notice, but by no more than 10% at any one time.

5. The Master Account / User (Employee) Profile / Service Configuration

The Master Account

The User who has created a Master Account has full control over the company account and over the users created within it.

Each subsequent user will be created by this Master Account, which holds full control to create, delete or edit the users within its company.

The Master Account will be created on the basis of the information already provided for creating the User account, to which additional fields will be added, such as the company’s financial data, VAT payer status, etc.

You, as the owner of the Master Account acting on behalf of a legal entity, declare, certify and warrant that you have the legal authority to represent that company for the conclusion/acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, the legal entity thereby assuming legal responsibility for that account and for subsequent accounts, as well as for all data uploaded to the platform.

Each User who chooses to set up a Master Account profile understands that they are solely responsible for the configuration of their profile, for the correctness of the information provided, for its authenticity, for any recommendations displayed, for any documents, images or information regarding the situation and data of the company, as well as for the user accounts subsequently created.

Rabit Management Solutions is under no obligation to carry out any prior verification of the Master Account profile created and, implicitly, of the information, data or documents attesting that the respective company exists, or of their veracity.

Rabit Management Solutions reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to verify the information provided by users by any methods it deems necessary; the results obtained may lead to the suspension or closure of the user account if a breach of the obligations set out in the Terms and Conditions is found.

Rabit Management Solutions does not exercise any form of control over the data, documents or information added to the platform.

Rabit Management Solutions does not control and has no right to interfere in any way in the management and decisions of the given company.

The Master Account, like any other user of the Platform, undertakes not to engage in activities that create legal problems both for the platform and for other persons.

Rabit Management Solutions reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to delete or restrict your Master Account profile, and implicitly access to the company data stored up to that point, to documents and to other information present that is linked to this account, for any reasons which Rabit Management Solutions, at its sole discretion, considers to breach the provisions of these Terms and Conditions or considers to be harmful, in any form, to the Platform.

The User/Employee Profile

The User who has created a Master Account may create profiles (accounts) for the employees of the company attached to that Master Account.

The Employee (user) profile (account) will be created on the basis of the information entered by the Master Account and represents an account that another person will use in managing and handling the company’s data, information and documents on the platform.

Each Employee understands that they are solely responsible for the configuration of their Employee profile, for the correctness of the information provided, for its authenticity, for any documents, images or information supporting their profile, including omissions, which they choose to display in their Employee account; this configuration is carried out after their user account has been created by the Master Account, by logging in to the platform.

Rabit Management Solutions is under no obligation to carry out any prior verification of the user profile created and, implicitly, of the information, images or documents displayed that determine Employee status. Rabit Management Solutions reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to verify the information provided by users by any methods it deems necessary; the results obtained may lead to the suspension or closure of the user account if a breach of the obligations set out in the Terms and Conditions is found.

Rabit Management Solutions does not exercise any form of control over the Employee or over the services purchased by them, the Employee acting in their own name as an independent user of the Platform, but as part of the company to which they belong.

Rabit Management Solutions does not control and has no right to interfere in the activities carried out by the Employee while using the platform, the Platform having no right to record, in whole or in part, or to store the information uploaded.

Rabit Management Solutions reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to delete or restrict your User profile, and implicitly access to the company data stored up to that point, to documents and to other information present that is linked to this account, for any reasons which Rabit Management Solutions, at its sole discretion, considers to breach the provisions of these Terms and Conditions or considers to be harmful, in any form, to the Platform.

Service Configuration

For the Master Account:

After creating the Master Account, you can configure the account and the legal details of the company you manage.

The Master Account is the only one able to enter as much relevant information as possible regarding the company and the employees who are to use the platform, according to their duties within the company.

For Users/Employees:

After the User/Employee Profile has been created, you can configure your own account and also handle the data, information and documents to which you have access, subject to the restrictions set by a Master Account when your account was created.

6. Use of the platform

Each User (whether Master Account or employee) undertakes to use the platform on their own responsibility for handling, administering and managing the resources of the company in which they work.

Each type of data entered on the platform is the user’s own responsibility, Rabit Management Solutions having no civil, moral or criminal liability for such data; therefore, by this document, use of the platform (both free of charge for a period and paid subsequently) entails civil, moral and criminal responsibility for the correctness of the data and information, both from the perspective of their use by the other users within the same company and as regards their legal correctness.

7. Intellectual property

2. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, which is stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed at the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive).

3. What are Cookies used for?

These files make it possible to recognise the user’s terminal and to present content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the Platform’s efforts to offer convenient services to users, e.g.: online privacy preferences, the range of services purchased. They are also used in preparing anonymous aggregated statistics which help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, while excluding the personal identification of the user.

4. Which Cookies do we use?

We use two types of Cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s terminal until the end of the session or until the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s terminal for a period defined by the Cookie’s parameters or until they are deleted manually by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:

Site performance cookies;

Visitor analytics cookies;

Advertising cookies;

a. Performance cookies

This type of cookie remembers the user’s preferences on this site, so that they do not need to be set again on each visit to the site. Examples: the video streaming speed with which the browser is compatible.

When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account with which you are registered and whether you have permission for a particular service. It also allows us to associate any activity you carry out on our site with your username.

d. Advertising cookies

These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type it is and how much time has passed since you saw the advertising message. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use cookies belonging to a third party for better targeting of advertising, for example to show advertisements about holidays if the user has recently visited an article on the site about holidays. These cookies are anonymous; they store information about the content viewed, not about users.

6. Do Cookies contain personal data?

Cookies in themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may be collected only in order to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data are encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorised persons to access them.

7. Deleting Cookies

In general, an application used to access web pages allows Cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic handling of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the options and ways of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of Cookies may affect certain functionalities of the web page.

8. Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as revealed by your browsing behaviour.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to log in through an account):

· Content and services adapted to the user’s preferences – categories of products and services.

· Offers adapted to users’ interests – remembering passwords.

· Remembering child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).

· Limiting the frequency of advertisements – limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed to a particular user on a site.

· Providing advertising that is more relevant to the user.

· Measurement, optimisation and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites carry out these analyses of their use in order to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

9. Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed and cannot run by themselves. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks in order to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can nevertheless be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly flag cookies for deletion as part of anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.

10. Other security aspects related to cookies:

Since identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what problems cookies may create. Because information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website through them, if an attacker or unauthorised person intervenes in the course of data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted.

Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers may use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorised access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.

11. Tips for safe and responsible cookie-based browsing.

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent the user from accessing the most widespread and widely used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can help you browse without worry while using cookies:

· Customise your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a level of cookie security that is comfortable for you.

· If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiry periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.

· If you share access to the computer, you may consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is one way of accessing sites that place cookies and deleting any visit information when the browsing session is closed.

· Install anti-spyware applications and keep them constantly updated. Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on sites. In this way, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.

· Make sure your browser is always up to date.

Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weaknesses of old browser versions.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you wish to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet, local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.
