Terms and conditions

OnlineRandomizer.com is operated by WIZZ ADS S.R.L., a company registered in Romania.

• Registered office: Str. Sitarului nr. 21, bl. D8, sc. A, ap. 14, Brașov, Romania
• Trade register number: J2024041381009
• Fiscal code: 50883692
• VAT number: RO50883692
• Email: [email protected]

Email is how you reach us, in Romanian or in English, and we answer in the same language. The registered office above is there because trading online requires us to publish it: post sent to it is not answered, and anything you need from us, including anything in these terms, is dealt with by email.

OnlineRandomizer.com picks results at random and publishes them. There are two parts to it.

The free tools, such as the dice roller and the password generator, run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us and nothing is kept. They are free, they need no account, and because nothing is recorded, a result from them proves nothing to anyone afterwards.

Winner Picker takes a list you supply, selects winners from it, and publishes the outcome on a permanent link with a record we sign. Running a drawing needs an account and costs tokens.

You need to be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. One account belongs to one person or one organisation, and whoever holds it is responsible for what is done with it, including by anyone they let in.

Keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think someone else has it. Give us an email address that reaches you: it is where anything about your account goes, and it is the only way we can identify you if you lose access.

You can close your account by writing to us. Closing it does not remove drawings you have already published, for the reason in clause 7.

Drawings are paid for in tokens, bought in advance. A token is credit for using this service and nothing else. It is not money, it cannot be transferred to another account, exchanged for cash, or used anywhere but here.

Tokens do not expire. What a drawing costs depends on how long the entry list is, at the rates published on the pricing page. The cost is shown before a drawing runs and is taken when it runs.

The smallest purchase is 5 tokens. The list price is 0.50 EUR per token, reduced by volume as published. Test drawings are free and are not published.

Prices are in euro and are shown final, with value added tax included at 21 percent. Nothing is added at checkout. Your invoice shows the tax separately.

Payment is taken by Stripe. We never see or hold your card details. Tokens are credited only once Stripe confirms the payment, which is usually immediate.

Buying on behalf of a company, say so on the payment page and give the company name, its VAT or fiscal code, and its registered address. The invoice is made out to the company and carries them, and they are remembered for your next purchase. The price is the same either way.

We may change prices at any time. A change never affects tokens you have already bought, which keep the value they had.

This clause is the important one, and it is written plainly because the temptation in this industry is to write it otherwise.

Every drawing is made with a random seed built from two sources combined: a public physical source, the NIST Randomness Beacon, whose values are published and attested by a third party, and fresh bytes from the operating system. Numbers are drawn in a way that gives every entry the same chance, and the order of winners is shuffled before places are given out. The whole procedure is described at how it works.

The signature on a published record proves that the record was issued by us and has not been altered since. It does not prove that a drawing was fair. No signature can, here or anywhere: the operator signs whatever the operator produces. Anyone claiming otherwise about a signature is overstating it.

What can be checked, by anyone, at any time: the entry list is published in full for a public drawing, the file carries a fingerprint, the entropy source is named and independently attested, and the record is signed. That is what we offer and we do not stretch it further.

A drawing can be public, private, or a test. A public drawing is listed on the site and publishes the entire entry list, because the file you uploaded is attached to the result. That is the point of it, and it is also a hazard, which is why the choice carries a warning you have to accept.

You cannot withdraw a result you have published. Deleting is restricted to us, and we do it only where the law or a serious mistake requires it. This is deliberate: a record an organiser can quietly remove after seeing who won is worth nothing to the people it was meant to convince.

Records are kept for five years and then deleted automatically, along with the uploaded file.

The list you upload is yours. We store it, publish it where you chose to make the drawing public, and delete it on the schedule above.

Where that list contains personal data, you decide what is collected and why, and we handle it on your instructions. It is for you to have a lawful basis for holding it and for publishing it, and to have told the people on it what would happen. Publishing a list of names, emails or phone numbers to a permanent public page is a decision with consequences, and we cannot make it for you. Where you can identify entrants by a reference instead of a name, do that.

You confirm that the list is yours to use, that you are entitled to publish it if you choose to, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

You are responsible for the legality of whatever your drawing is part of. Prize promotions, lotteries and games of chance are regulated, and the rules differ by country: some require a licence, a permit, or registered rules, and a promotion that charges for entry is often a different thing in law from a free prize draw.

We provide a tool. We do not check what your promotion is, and using this service is not evidence that it is lawful.

You may not use the service to break the law, to publish personal data you have no right to publish, to publish content that is unlawful or abusive, to work around what a drawing costs, or to interfere with the service or anyone else's use of it.

If you do, we may suspend or close the account. Whether anything is returned in that case is decided as clause 14 describes.

We work to keep the service running and cannot promise it always will be. Maintenance, faults, and failures at the services we depend on all happen. Where a drawing fails after tokens were taken, the tokens go back.

We may change how the service works, and add or remove parts of it. Where a change materially reduces what you have already paid for, we will say so in advance.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, and for the rights consumers have under Romanian and European Union law. Those rights stand whatever this document says.

Beyond that, our liability to you for anything arising out of this agreement is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the event. We are not liable for lost profit, lost business, or for the consequences of a promotion of yours going wrong, including any claim brought by an entrant.

We are not liable for a drawing being unlawful in your jurisdiction, for a list you had no right to publish, or for a decision you took on the strength of a result.

We may change these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed. Where a change is material and affects an existing account, we will tell the account by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means accepting the new terms. If you do not accept them, write to us before the change takes effect and say so: we will not hold you to terms you never agreed to, and anything left on your balance is dealt with as clause 14 describes.

Romanian law governs this agreement. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the law of the country you live in, and you can bring a claim in your own country's courts.

Write to us first: most things are settled that way and quickly.

If we cannot settle it, consumers in Romania can complain to the National Authority for Consumer Protection, ANPC, or use the alternative dispute resolution bodies it lists. Consumers elsewhere in the European Union can use the equivalent body in their own country.

Tokens are supplied the moment your payment clears, at your express request, and are not refundable once credited. The full position, including how to raise a problem with a purchase and how quickly we answer, is on its own page and forms part of these terms: Refunds and the right of withdrawal.
