Terms & Conditions
Version 2.2, in force from 8 September 2026
These terms govern access to and use of the AutoRize platform. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. They apply both to individuals and to design practices; where the law grants consumers additional rights, those rights prevail.
1. Definitions
In these terms: the Platform means the AutoRize application and the autorize.ro website; a Dossier is the set of documents prepared for one job, grouped into a project in the application; a Generated Document is any file the Platform produces from your data, in Word or PDF format; User Content covers the data you enter and the files you upload.
Consumer means a natural person using the Platform for purposes outside their trade or profession, within the meaning of GEO 34/2014. Professional Client means anyone else, including a design practice or a designer using the Platform in the exercise of their profession. Where a clause applies to only one of these categories, we say so explicitly.
2. About the service
AutoRize is an online platform that generates pre-filled documents used in the process of obtaining the certificat de urbanism and the building permit: applications on the official forms, requests for approvals, presentation memos, and the dossier index.
The documents are built from the data you enter and from data extracted automatically from the files you upload. You can download them as an editable Word file and as a PDF.
3. What AutoRize does and does not provide
AutoRize is a computer-assisted drafting tool. It is not a designer, it does not provide architecture or urban planning services, and it does not provide legal advice. We do not guarantee that the certificat de urbanism or the building permit will be issued, and we are not responsible for the time the issuing authority takes.
The generated documents are drafts. They must be checked and, where the law requires it, adopted and signed by a designer with signing rights. The liability set out in the legislation on authorising construction works and in Law 184/2001 on the organisation and practice of the architect profession remains entirely with the specialist who signs. Using AutoRize neither transfers nor limits it.
From 25 August 2026, Law 50/1991 on authorising construction works is repealed by Law 169/2026, which approves the Codul amenajării teritoriului, urbanismului și construcțiilor (CATUC). For works under the transitional regime, the earlier rules continue to apply, under the conditions set out in Law 169/2026. The platform covers both regimes, but establishing which one applies to a particular set of works remains your responsibility.
4. User responsibility
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data you enter, for the final check of the generated documents before submission, and for the compliance of the dossier with the requirements of the authority you submit it to.
Local regulations, fees, and forms differ between localities and change over time. Always check the requirements in force at the time of submission.
The local urbanism data the platform proposes, such as the UTR classification and the POT, CUT and height regime values, comes from approved urbanism documentation and is provided for information only. The official and enforceable source remains the urbanism documentation approved by the local authority, in the form in force on the date of submission, together with the certificat de urbanism issued for the works. Checking the values that apply to the plot is the designer's responsibility.
5. Documents generated with artificial intelligence
Extracting data from the files you upload and drafting the narrative sections are done automatically, using artificial intelligence models. The result is a proposal, not a finding. Automatically filled fields are marked as such in the application, and those markings are indicative only and are not a guarantee of accuracy.
A model may extract a value incorrectly, omit information, or produce text that does not match the actual situation on site. Human verification of every document before submission is mandatory and remains your responsibility. The artificial intelligence providers used and the data sent to them are described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Your account
An account is required to use the platform. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for the activity carried out through your account. If you suspect unauthorised use, write to us at the contact address below.
7. Acceptable use and the content you upload
By uploading a file you confirm that you have the right to use it for this purpose and that you have a legal basis for the personal data of other people it contains, such as the beneficiary of the works or the neighbours listed in a land registry extract. Do not upload documents you have no rights over.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence over the files you upload, used strictly to provide the service you requested. Using the platform for unlawful purposes, scraping its content, reselling the output as your own service, and automated use at volume are prohibited.
8. Pricing, the free plan, and usage limits
AutoRize is currently available for free, within the limits of the free plan. The applicable limits, such as the number of active projects and the number of documents you can generate in a calendar month, are shown on the pricing page and in the application. They may change, and any reduction will be communicated to you in advance.
Paid plans are not active yet. Before they are activated we will publish a new version of these terms, covering payment, invoicing, renewal, and termination, which you will be able to accept separately.
9. Intellectual property
The platform, source code, design, our own templates, and the AutoRize brand are protected by law. The documents generated from your data belong to you and may be used freely for the purpose of obtaining approvals and permits.
The official forms used in the permitting procedure, such as the F.1 and F.8 applications, are public documents. They come from the implementing norms of Law 50/1991 and remain in use until they are replaced by the implementing norms of Law 169/2026. We claim no rights over them, nor over the content you enter yourself.
10. Personal data protection
AutoRize processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and with Law 190/2018. What data we collect, for what purposes, on what legal basis, who we send it to, and how long we keep it are described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
11. Service availability
We make reasonable efforts to keep the platform available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. We may carry out maintenance and may change or withdraw features. If a change significantly affects your use, we will tell you in advance.
12. Suspension, termination, and account deletion
You can delete your account at any time from the application. On deletion we remove the projects, uploaded files, and generated documents belonging to you, and your account data is anonymised. Download anything you want to keep beforehand, because the operation cannot be undone.
We may suspend or close an account used in breach of these terms or of the law. Except where immediate action is required, we will notify you in advance and allow you a reasonable period to export your data.
13. Limitation of liability
We are not liable for the rejection of a dossier by an authority, for fees paid and lost, for delays in the administrative procedure, for fines, or for other indirect damage arising from using the documents without checking them.
If you use AutoRize as a consumer, nothing in these terms restricts the rights the law grants you, and the limitations above apply only to the extent the law permits. If you use AutoRize for professional purposes, our total liability is limited to the amounts you have paid us in the last twelve months. Nothing in these terms limits liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury.
14. Force majeure
We are not liable for failing to perform, or for delay in performing, our obligations where this is caused by an event outside our reasonable control: natural disasters, armed conflict, strikes, failures of communication networks or hosting providers, cyber attacks, and legislative changes that make providing the service impossible.
This includes the unavailability of the public systems that the service, or the submission of dossiers, depends on, such as the registers and platforms operated by the authorities. If the situation lasts more than thirty days, either party may terminate the contract, without compensation.
15. Consumer rights
If you are a consumer, you have the rights set out in GEO 34/2014 on distance contracts and in GEO 141/2021 on the conformity of digital content and digital services. You can bring any complaint to us directly, at the contact address below, and we will deal with it within a reasonable time.
You may also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection or an alternative dispute resolution body, under the conditions of GO 38/2015.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The updated version is published on this page, together with the date it takes effect. If a change is significant, we will tell you before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new version, and if you do not agree you can delete your account.
17. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Romanian law. The Romanian version is the official one; in case of any discrepancy with the English translation, the Romanian text prevails.
Disputes are settled by the competent courts in Romania. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings before the court of your domicile, and this clause does not restrict that right.
18. Final provisions
If a clause of these terms is held void or unenforceable, the rest remains in force, and that clause is replaced by a valid one preserving its original meaning as far as possible. Our not exercising a right immediately does not mean we waive it.
You can send us notices at the contact address below, and we send you notices at the email address associated with your account. We may assign this contract to a company in the same group or as part of a transfer of business, provided your rights are not affected; you may assign it only with our written consent. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding use of the Platform.
