- 2Enter the expiry date and contract type in the dedicated fields.
- 3Set automatic alerts 30/60/90 days before the expiry date.

What the law says
- Romanian Civil Code art. 1270 — the contract has the force of law between the parties.
- GEO 38/2020 — electronically signed contracts have full legal value in Romania.
- eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014) — qualified electronic signatures are equivalent to handwritten ones.
- GDPR art. 5 — contract data must be retained only for as long as necessary.
- Labour Code art. 16 — individual employment contracts must be concluded in written form.
Practical examples
- Software maintenance contract with an external vendor, 12-month term, alert set 60 days before expiry.
- Office space rental contract with tacit renewal clause, alert set 90 days in advance.
- Freelance services contract (design), 6-month duration, 30-day expiry alert.
- Annual SaaS software licence with auto-renewal, tracked directly from the dashboard.
Common mistakes
- Setting a single alert 7 days before expiry — insufficient time for negotiation or renewal.
- Failing to update the expiry date after manually extending the contract.
- Tracking expiries in outdated Excel files, risking missed deadlines.
- Not archiving expired contracts — causes confusion in the active contract portfolio.
