In effect from: 03.08.2026

Courtesy translation. This document is governed by Romanian law. In case of any discrepancy between this English version and the Romanian original, the Romanian version prevails. The original is available at ekopress.ro/politica-anulare.

This policy describes the conditions for cancelling Orders placed on the EkoPress platform, operated by EKO UNITED INVESTMENT SRL, and the refund process. This policy forms part of the Terms and Conditions and is to be read together with them and with the Delivery Policy.

1. Cancellation before publication

1.1. For as long as the article has not yet been published on the Portal, the Advertiser may request a change to, or cancellation of, the Order, from their Platform account or at office@ekopress.ro. Receipt of the request is confirmed within 3 business days at the latest.

1.2. In the event of cancellation before publication, amounts paid are refunded, less any irreversible costs already incurred (for example, writing services already performed for that Order).

2. Cancellation after publication

2.1. Once the article has been published on the Portal, the service is deemed performed. As a rule, refunding the price of a publication already carried out is not possible, except in cases of non-performance attributable to the Service Provider.

2.2. For Orders covering several Portals, performance is assessed per publication: for Portals on which the article was not published, the corresponding amounts are refunded in full (or the publication is replaced, with the Advertiser’s agreement).

2.3. If the Portal on which the article was published ceases operating, the situation is handled in accordance with the Delivery Policy, section 5.1 — through republication of the article, at no additional cost, on another Portal from the catalogue, with a comparable profile and at least equal value.

3. Consumer right of withdrawal (GEO 34/2014)

3.1. An Advertiser who is a consumer (a natural person acting outside their commercial or professional activity) may withdraw from the distance contract, without giving any reason, within 14 days from the date the contract was concluded, in accordance with Romanian Government Emergency Ordinance no. 34/2014 on consumer rights, as subsequently amended and supplemented (including GEO no. 58/2022).

3.2. The publication service is performed at the Advertiser’s express request, expressed through the dedicated checkbox at checkout, by which the Advertiser requests that performance begin before the withdrawal period expires. Under these conditions, pursuant to GEO no. 34/2014, as amended: (a) after full performance of the service (publication of the article), the right of withdrawal is lost; (b) where withdrawal is exercised during performance, the consumer-Advertiser owes the proportional value of the services already performed, and the difference is refunded.

3.3. The withdrawal request is sent to office@ekopress.ro, through an unequivocal statement — including by using the standard withdrawal form model set out in the annex to GEO no. 34/2014 (part B), reproduced below.

4.3. A corrective invoice is issued for refunded amounts and sent electronically.

5. Complaints and alternative dispute resolution

5.1. Complaints regarding Orders are sent to office@ekopress.ro and are resolved within 14 days of receipt at the latest.

Publish advertorials and press releases in real media, transparently and with a permanent link

EkoPress is the platform companies and people use to reach the press. You publish advertorials, press releases and editorial articles in hundreds of Romanian and international publications, across dozens of categories, from business, legal and medical to sport, technology or investigations.

The process is simple and transparent: you pick the publications from the catalogue, send or order the article, and the editorial team checks it and publishes it within 45 minutes of approval. Every article is editorial and gets a permanent link; standard articles are also labelled “Advertising” (mini and content-creator quota articles are not). The price is shown upfront, from 199 lei including VAT, with no hidden costs and no middlemen.

The point is not a bought position in Google, but your brand’s presence where the audience looks today: in the press and in answers generated by artificial intelligence. An EkoPress article stays online, is read by real people and can be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews when they answer questions in your field.

Whether you need advertorials in the press, press release distribution, sponsored articles for a launch or a broad visibility campaign, EkoPress gives you real publications, visible pricing and a clear report with every placement. Standard articles are labelled “Advertising”, in line with the law, so that each one is transparent for readers and for the authorities.
