- Do not treat silence or inaction as acceptance of an offer unless the law, the practice established between the parties or usage provides otherwise (art. 1042(1)).

Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Law, Reproduction Exceptions and No Text-and-Data-Mining Opt-Outsince 2 lines
Legea nr. 230 din 28 iulie 2022 privind dreptul de autor si drepturile conexe, art. 55-57 (exceptii si limitari la dreptul de reproducere) · Read the law's page
- This Law has no text-and-data-mining exception or opt-out mechanism, so reproducing copyrighted Moldovan text at scale to train a model rests only on a general exception, if any applies, such as the temporary-reproduction exception for a transient, incidental technical step with no independent economic significance.
- A reproduction of a published article's text for informatory or quotation purposes, within the bounds of articles 57(1)(c) and (d), does not require the rightholder's consent, but a broader automated reproduction and retention of full articles for model training is not itself addressed by either exception.
