Terms of use
1. Who we are
goout.ro ("the site") is a non-commercial website run by an individual based in Bucharest, Romania ("goout.ro", "we"), who is responsible for the site. For any question or legal matter, write to contact@goout.ro.
2. What the site is
goout.ro is an independent guide to platforms, communities and events in Bucharest where people meet in person. The site also publishes reviews written by people who went, under section 5.
We do not organize, host or sell tickets to any event. We are not affiliated with the organizers we describe unless a page says so.
3. Information on the site
We describe organizers and events using publicly available information and write the descriptions ourselves. Dates, prices, availability and conditions can change without notice. Always confirm the details with the organizer before you go or pay.
Links lead to websites and apps run by other people. We are not responsible for their content, their terms, or what happens when you use them.
4. Your use of the site
You may browse the site and share links to it freely. You agree not to misuse it: no attempts to disrupt it, no automated bulk copying of its content, no automated or fake reviews or reports, and no unlawful, abusive or misleading messages.
5. Reviews
5.1 Who can write. Anyone who has been to an event of the platform reviewed. One review per person per platform; you can change or delete it later.
5.2 What a review may contain. Your own experience only: whether you recommend it, how many times you went, and, if you like, whether it suits going alone, whether you met someone you'd like to see again, the group size and ages, what it cost (as a range), and your own words. A review must not contain names, descriptions, contact details or photos of other attendees, hosts or staff; private things other people shared at the event; anything about anyone's health, beliefs or sex life; text or images copied from the platform; insults, accusations of crimes, or claims presented as fact that you cannot know; advertising; or anything the platform's own rules forbid members to share. Platforms may not review themselves, and nobody may be paid or rewarded for a review.
5.3 How reviews are checked. Every review is confirmed by an email code and read by a person before it appears. This confirms that a real person with an email address sent it; it does not prove that the reviewer attended. To have your review marked "Proof of attendance seen", email a ticket or booking confirmation to contact@goout.ro from the address you used for the review; we check it, mark the review and delete the email. We publish reviews whether they are positive or negative, as long as they follow these rules.
5.4 Ratings. A platform's rating ("Positive", "Mixed", "Negative" and the steps between) comes from the share of published reviews that recommend it, and appears only once it has five; a negative rating only once it has ten. Until then we show the number of reviews and how many recommend it. A summary of an optional answer appears only once at least three reviewers gave it, with the number who did.
5.5 Editing and deleting. If you change your review, it is read again before it reappears and is marked "Last edited by the reviewer" with the date. You can delete your review at any time with "Edit my review"; it is then removed completely.
5.6 Reporting. Anyone can report a review with "Report", including content they believe is illegal; reports can also be sent to contact@goout.ro. We look at every report promptly and objectively, and may keep the review or take it down. We do not tell the reviewer who reported it.
5.7 Removal. We may refuse or remove a review that breaks these rules or the law. We keep a short record of each decision and its reason.
5.8 Your rights in your review. You keep the rights to what you write. By sending a review you allow goout.ro to publish it on the site, free of charge, for as long as it stays published, and to show long texts folded with "Read more". You confirm the review is your own and true to your experience.
5.9 Responsibility. Reviews are the reviewers' opinions, not goout.ro's.
6. Organizers
If you run a platform or event described here and want a listing corrected or removed, write to us at contact@goout.ro. We will respond within a reasonable time. If you think a review about your platform breaks section 5, use "Report" on the review or write to us.
7. Intellectual property
The site's design, text and the goout.ro name belong to the operator. Names and trademarks of organizers belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.
8. Liability
The site is provided as it is, free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from reliance on information on the site, from events you attend, or from third-party websites. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under Romanian or European Union law.
9. Changes
We may update these terms as the site develops. The date at the bottom shows the latest version.
10. Newsletter
The goout.ro events email is free and optional. It lists events from our calendar, under the same rules as the site (section 3): always confirm with the organizer. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email. We may change how often it is sent or stop it. How we handle your address is explained in the Privacy notice.
11. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Romanian law. Consumers can also turn to the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC, anpc.ro).
