- Using the Website in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair its functionality
- Unauthorized access to systems or networks connected to the Website

2.3. Website availability
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Website continuously available. However, we do not guarantee that the Website will be available without interruption or errors. We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue the Website, temporarily or permanently, for maintenance, updates, or other justified reasons, without prior notice and without liability for any resulting damages.
3. Force Majeure
The Operator shall not be liable for non-performance or improper performance of its contractual obligations where such failure is caused by a force majeure event, as defined by Article 1351 paragraph (2) of the Romanian Civil Code.
Force majeure events include, but are not limited to: natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, landslides, avalanches), fires, epidemics or pandemics, war, acts of terrorism, general strikes, decisions of public authorities, utility service interruptions (electricity, water, gas), and other similar events beyond the reasonable control of the Operator.
In such situations, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to inform guests and to offer alternative solutions or refunds, depending on the circumstances.
4. Personal Data Protection
Rodnei Retreat & Spa respects and protects the confidentiality of your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — EU Regulation 2016/679) and applicable national legislation.

5. Consumer Rights and Dispute Resolution
5.1. Right of withdrawal
In accordance with Government Emergency Ordinance No. 34/2014 on consumer rights, consumers generally benefit from a 14-day right of withdrawal for contracts concluded at a distance or away from business premises.
However, pursuant to Article 16(l) of GEO No. 34/2014, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the provision of accommodation services (other than residential), transport of goods, car rental, catering, or services related to leisure activities, where the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance.
Therefore, accommodation bookings at Rodnei Retreat & Spa with a specific check-in date are exempt from the right of withdrawal.
