Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Civil Code regulates, in the IXth Title (Various special contracts) of Book V (About obligations), a wealth of contracts, in a greater number than the old civil legislator (sale and purchase, exchange, lease, society, transport, warehouse, insurance, loan etc.), but the subject of this article makes me move towards the assurance contract. The insurance activity materializes as a contract by which, according to the Romanian Civil Code, the policyholder or the insured is obliged to pay a premium to the insurer, and the latter undertakes, if the insured case occurs, to pay an allowance, where necessary, to the insured, the insurance beneficiary or the injured third party. The insurance contract is commonly used in business because operators are subject to numerous risks and, for the safety and future of their business, for this activity to have as much life span as possible, they must ensure all goods and persons representing " the engine" of their business, as well as the licit/illicit unexpected events. The insurance area is a business, and more than that: it can support a business.
