(hereafter ”the Terms”). You will accept these Terms and undertake to comply
with them with any of the following measures: 1) by clicking the “I accept the
Terms” button found in connection with the Terms, 2) by downloading the software,

have no right to download, install, run or use the Software in any way and you
will undertake not to download, install or use the Software in any way, if you
do not accept the Terms and adhere to them as a whole.
If you
are acquiring this Software for an organization (“organization” refers to any
legal person excluding natural persons), you accept these Terms and undertake
to comply with them on behalf of your organization; in other cases, you will
accept them personally. These Terms apply to everyone who downloads, installs
or uses the Software (whether a natural person or an organization) referred to
hereafter as “the User”. The parties to this contract are Fujitsu Finland Oy
(business identity code: 0815044-1)
and the User.
The
right to use the software and limitations:
Fujitsu
Finland Oy grants the right to use the Software only in order to use the
certificates granted by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The User agrees not to
use the Software for other purposes, or in order to use the certificates
possibly granted by any other organizations than mentioned above. The right to
use the Software is free of charge as such. Regardless of this, the Digital and Population Data
Services Agency or possibly some other government agency may charge a fee
determined in their policy for certification services, granting the
certificates, granting the certificate cards, or for some other service related
to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s certificates.
The User
has the right to download and install the Software to any desired number of
hardware devices, and run it and use it for an unlimited time in internal use.
However, the right to use the Software expires if the User breaches these
Terms. The User has no exclusive right to use the Software.
The User
may not pass the Software on for copying or for any other purpose to a third
party, or transfer the Software electronically or in any other way. The User
may not modify, alter, translate, rent, sell or distribute the Software or
create derivative work from the Software.
The User
may not decompile the Software and/or files related to it back to source code
or determine the manufacturing process of the Software.
The User
has no right to use or otherwise utilize the Software with any other product or
service that functions with the Software than with the certificates granted by
the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The User undertakes not to use the Software in
any way other than specifically authorized in these Terms.
Software Copyright:
All
rights to the Software including copyright and other intellectual property
rights are the property of Fujitsu Finland Oy, its suppliers or the Digital and
Population Data Services Agency. The Software is covered by copyright laws and international
copyright agreements and other agreements concerning intellectual property
rights.
Fujitsu
Finland Oy may defend the User at its own expense in respect of lawsuits filed
against the User involving claims that the Software infringes the rights of a
third party, provided that (i) the User immediately reports in writing the
claims to Fujitsu Finland Oy, (ii) authorizes Fujitsu Finland Oy to use the
defendant’s right of action or to settle the disagreement in the manner deemed
most appropriate by Fujitsu Finland Oy, and (iii) delivers to Fujitsu Finland
Oy all available necessary and reasonable information, assistance and
authorizations. Fujitsu Finland Oy is
responsible for the payment of damages awarded to a third party after
litigation, requiring that the User has performed the aforementioned steps and
Fujitsu Finland Oy has undertaken the defense in the matter.
If
Fujitsu Finland Oy deems that the Software infringes the rights of a third
party, Fujitsu Finland Oy has the right to either (i) procure the right to
continue using the Software for the User; or (ii) change the Software; or (iii)
modify it in such a way that the breach of rights ceases; or (iv) rescind this
licensing contract, in which case the User must stop using the Software.
However,
Fujitsu Finland Oy shall not, under any circumstances, be responsible for a
claim that (i) is based on a claim by a company that has control over the User,
or over which the User has control, in the sense of the definition of “control”
contained in the Accounting Act; (ii) is due to a modification made by the User
in the Software or due to following the instructions given by the User; (iii)
is due to using the Software together with a product other than products
delivered by Fujitsu Finland Oy; or (iv) could have been avoided by using a published,
equivalent product or update upon which the User has received information and
which has been offered to the User without separate charge.
The
liability of Fujitsu Finland Oy for breaches of intellectual property rights
and other judicial breaches is limited to what is agreed on in this section.
Software
support and updates:
Fujitsu
Finland Oy has agreed on the delivery of the Software with the Digital and Population Data Services
Agency. Fujitsu Finland Oy provides the Digital and Population Data Services Agency,
in the manner agreed on in the contract between Fujitsu Finland Oy and the
Digital and Population Data Services Agency, with, for instance, user support for the Software.
However, Fujitsu Finland Oy does not provide individual users with any support
or guarantees, and therefore they should instead address their concerns
regarding the use of the Software to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
Concerns
regarding error situations and the use of the certificates can be addressed to
the Digital and Population Data Services Agency: Digi- ja Väestötietovirasto, PL 70, 00581 Helsinki
(Digital and Population Data Services Agency, P.O. Box 70, 00581 Helsinki, Finland).
Fujitsu
Finland Oy does not provide the Users with direct support, but the Digital and Population Data Services Agency
can provide support to its clients using the certificates based
on its policy at that time. If updates are offered to the Software, Fujitsu
Finland Oy will not deliver the updates to the Users, but any possible updates
can be downloaded from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency or its partners. It is the
User’s responsibility to update the Software with possible new versions when
necessary.
No guarantee and limitation of risk:
Fujitsu
Finland Oy and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency have signed a separate contract
concerning the delivery of the Software (see section ”The Support and Updates
of the Software”). The Software will be offered to the User as it is, without
any specific or implicit guarantees, including, but not limited to, guarantees
on the usability or suitability of the Software for a specific purpose. Fujitsu
Finland Oy or its suppliers have no other manufacturer’s liability for the
Software than what has been agreed on in the section “Software Copyright”
regarding legal infringements.
Neither
Fujitsu Finland Oy nor its suppliers can under any circumstances be held
liable for any direct or indirect damages or consequential damages (including,
but not limited to, damages caused by acquisition of compensatory products or
services, lost opportunities to use the product, lost data, lost profit or
interrupted operations), regardless of what is claimed to be the liability of
these parties, for instance, in respect of compensation based on the contract
or compensation outside the scope of the contract (including negligence or
such). This applies to all damages that can in any way be considered to have
resulted from the use of the Software, even where Fujitsu Finland Oy and/or
its suppliers might be conceived to have been aware of the possibility of such
damages. The User shall be responsible for all the actions the User takes when
uploading, installing and using the Software. These Terms do not limit the
rights bestowed to the User by any peremptory legislation.
General:
If
the User’s right to use the Software expires based on what has been stipulated
in these Terms, this will not entitle the User to receive any compensation from
Fujitsu Finland Oy or its suppliers.
Finnish
law applies to this contract, except for provisions falling under the scope of
private international law; i.e. references to other laws. Any disputes or
disagreements arising from this contract shall be settled in the District Court
of Helsinki. However, if Fujitsu Finland Oy so desires, it may take legal
action in a dispute or disagreement arising from this contract in the Court of
the defendant’s domicile.
The
contract terms between Fujitsu Finland Oy and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency
have been agreed on in a separate contract.
