8.1 Geist IQ may change the Service without prior notice if the change (a) relates to the production environment and does not affect Service content or service level, (b) responds to a serious security threat, or (c) is required by law or an authority order. Geist IQ shall notify the Customer as soon as possible.

10 Intellectual Property Rights
10.1 All Intellectual Property Rights in the Service, documentation, user interfaces, analytics and reporting functionalities, training materials and other Geist IQ materials, including development results, belong to Geist IQ or its licensors. No Intellectual Property Rights are transferred to the Customer; the Customer receives only the right of use in Clause 4.
10.3 Notwithstanding Clause 10.2, Geist IQ may use data processed in or accumulated through the Service, including data derived from Customer Data, for development, research, analytics, statistical and business purposes, provided the data is anonymised and, where necessary, aggregated so that neither the Customer nor any individual is identifiable. Such data is not Customer Data to the extent the Customer or any individual cannot be identified from it.
10.4 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that Customer Data is lawful, accurate and complete, does not infringe third-party rights, and may be transferred to and processed in the Service in accordance with the Agreement. Geist IQ is not responsible for Customer-entered information or for the suitability of Service results as a basis for the Customer’s business decisions.
10.5 Geist IQ is responsible for ensuring that the Service, when used in accordance with Geist IQ’s instructions and the Agreement, does not infringe any third-party Intellectual Property Rights in Finland.
10.6 If a claim alleges that the Service, when used in accordance with Geist IQ’s instructions and the Agreement, infringes third-party Intellectual Property Rights in Finland, Geist IQ shall defend the Customer at its own expense and be liable for damages legally awarded or agreed in writing by Geist IQ. This requires the Customer to notify Geist IQ without delay, provide necessary information and authorisations, and reasonably assist Geist IQ. Geist IQ controls the defence and settlement, and the Customer may not admit liability or settle without Geist IQ’s prior written consent.
10.7 If Geist IQ reasonably considers, or a final court or arbitral decision finds, that the Service infringes third-party Intellectual Property Rights in Finland, Geist IQ may, at its expense and discretion, (a) procure continued use rights, (b) modify the Service so the infringement ceases while it remains materially compliant, or (c) replace it with a materially equivalent compliant service. If none is feasible on reasonable terms and cost, Geist IQ may cease providing the Service or the infringing part and refund advance Fees relating to the period after termination of the right of use.
10.8 Geist IQ shall not be liable for any claim arising from (a) a modification to the Service made by the Customer or a third party, (b) compliance with instructions provided by the Customer, (c) use of the Service in breach of Geist IQ’s instructions, the Agreement or applicable law, (d) use of the Service together with any product, device, software or service not supplied by Geist IQ or not approved in advance in writing by Geist IQ, or (e) Customer Data.

11 Subcontractors
11.1 Geist IQ may use subcontractors to perform its obligations under the Agreement and is liable for their actions as if they were its own.
11.2 Geist IQ may select and change subcontractors without the Customer’s prior approval. Subcontractors processing personal data on behalf of the Customer are governed by the Data Processing Agreement. Geist IQ determines the division of work between its personnel and subcontractors, and the Customer may not require specific individuals or subcontractors unless agreed in writing.
11.3 Upon the Customer’s request, Geist IQ shall provide necessary information regarding the subcontractors involved in the provision of the Service.
12.1 The Customer shall pay the Fees. If no specific Fees are agreed for a service, task or cost, Geist IQ’s generally applicable Fees apply. Geist IQ may update Fees in accordance with this Clause 12.
12.2 Fees are in euros and exclude value added tax, which shall be added in accordance with applicable law. Fees shall change accordingly if public charges imposed by authorities, or their basis of assessment, change.
12.3 Unless otherwise agreed in the Order Form or in writing, recurring Fees shall be invoiced in advance according to the agreed billing cycles. Other Fees shall be invoiced under Geist IQ’s then-current invoicing practices.
12.4 Invoices are payable within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date. Interest on late payments shall be determined in accordance with the Interest Act (633/1982, as amended).
12.5 Unless otherwise agreed in the Order Form, recurring Fees for the Service shall be adjusted at the end of each contract period for the next period according to changes in the Producer Price Index for Services (2021=100), Statistics Finland class CPA 62 “IT services”. The adjustment compares the latest published index with the index for the month in which the Agreement entered into force. If that index is discontinued or no longer substantially reflects Service cost development, the closest corresponding index published by Statistics Finland or another generally accepted Finnish body shall be used. Geist IQ shall notify the Customer of the revised recurring Fees before the next contract period starts.
12.6 Geist IQ may increase recurring Fees for the Service by more than the index change from the start of the next contract period by notifying the Customer of the increase and its grounds at least two (2) months before the current period ends. If the Customer does not accept the increase, it may terminate the Agreement at the end of the current period by giving notice no later than one (1) month before that date. The change does not affect Fees for the current period.
12.7 Geist IQ may update Fees and charging criteria for additional services, separately charged work and other non-recurring Fees by notifying the Customer within a reasonable period before the update takes effect. Updated terms apply only to work and services ordered or performed after the effective date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
12.8 Geist IQ may charge additional Fees for costs caused by incorrect or incomplete Customer information or any other reason attributable to the Customer.

13.3 Each Party shall notify the other without undue delay of any significant information security risk, breach or suspected breach it becomes aware of, promptly take reasonable mitigation measures and cooperate in investigating the breach.
13.4 The Customer is responsible for the information security of its own environment, equipment and connections. Neither Party shall be liable for the information security of the public communications network or for any disruptions occurring in it.
14 Processing of Personal Data
14.1 To the extent that Geist IQ processes personal data on behalf of the Customer in the Service, the Customer acts as the data controller and Geist IQ acts as the data processor. The processing of personal data shall comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679, “GDPR”) and other applicable data protection legislation.
14.2 The Data Processing Agreement sets out the personal data processing terms, purposes, data categories and Parties’ obligations and responsibilities, and prevails in matters relating to personal data processing.
14.3 Where the Parties act as independent data controllers, including for their own administration, accounting or marketing, each Party is responsible for its own processing under applicable data protection law. The Data Processing Agreement does not apply to such independent processing.
15 Confidentiality
15.1 Each Party undertakes to keep confidential all Confidential Information received from the other Party and not to use it for any purposes other than those set out in the Agreement.
15.2 Confidentiality does not apply to information or material that (a) is public, (b) is received from a third party without confidentiality obligations, (c) was already in the receiving Party’s possession, (d) was independently developed without using the other Party’s Confidential Information, or (e) must be disclosed by law or authority order, provided that the other Party is notified in advance where permitted.
15.3 A Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to subcontractors and advisers who need it for the Agreement, provided they are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
15.4 The confidentiality obligation shall remain in force for the duration of the Agreement and for five (5) years after termination of the Agreement.
15.5 Geist IQ may use professional skills, experience, expertise and general ideas gained under the Agreement in its other activities, provided it does not disclose the Customer’s Confidential Information. Geist IQ may refer to the Customer in customary client or reference lists unless the Customer objects in writing. Broader marketing cooperation, case studies, press releases or marketing rights require prior written agreement.
16 Force Majeure
16.1 A Party is not liable for delay or damage caused by an impediment beyond its control that it could not reasonably have foreseen, avoided or overcome. Unless otherwise proven, force majeure includes war, insurrection, earthquake, flood or comparable natural disaster, disruption to public transport, public telecommunications or public electricity supply, import or export bans, strikes, lockouts, boycotts or comparable industrial action, including where the Party itself is subject to or involved in the action, or failures or service interruptions of third-party service providers, technology platforms or other external providers on which the Service depends.
16.2 A force majeure event affecting a Party’s subcontractor shall also be deemed a force majeure event for that Party if the performance subject to the subcontract cannot be carried out or procured elsewhere at reasonable cost.
16.3 A Party shall notify the other Party in writing without delay of any force majeure event and of its cessation.
16.4 If performance is delayed by more than sixty (60) days due to force majeure, either Party may terminate the Agreement in whole or in part without liability for damages.

17.4 The maximum liability of the Parties towards each other for breaches of contractual obligations relating to the processing of personal data shall be double the liability limit described in Clause 17.1.
17.5 The limitations of liability shall not apply to payment obligations under the Agreement, damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, damage resulting from a breach of confidentiality, or damage resulting from the Customer’s breach of obligations relating to Geist IQ’s Intellectual Property Rights.
18.1 The Agreement enters into force on the date of the later signature of the Order Form and remains in force for fixed twelve (12)-month terms unless otherwise agreed in writing. It automatically renews for successive twelve (12)-month terms unless terminated under this Clause 18.
18.2 Either Party may terminate the Agreement at the end of the then-current term by giving written notice no later than one (1) month before that date.
18.3 Either Party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by written notice if the other Party materially breaches the Agreement and, if remediable, fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days of notice, or is placed in bankruptcy, enters into liquidation (whether voluntary or compulsory), or ceases business. Geist IQ may also terminate with immediate effect if the Customer fails to pay a due and undisputed amount within thirty (30) days of a written reminder and does not provide acceptable payment security.
19 Termination Pursuant to Mandatory Law
19.1 The Service is a data processing service under the Data Act. To the extent the Customer is entitled under the Data Act to switch to another data processing service provider, switch to on-premises ICT infrastructure, use several data processing service providers in parallel, or have exportable data and digital assets erased, this Clause 19 and Clause 20 apply. Data Act requirements prevail over conflicting Agreement terms to the extent the matter falls within the Data Act.
19.3 Geist IQ shall not impose commercial, technical, contractual or organisational obstacles that prevent or unduly hinder the Customer from exercising switching rights under the Data Act, including obstacles relating to notice periods, data export, data deletion, interfaces, interoperability information or transition assistance, except to the extent permitted by the Data Act.
19.4 This Clause 19 does not limit the Customer’s other rights of termination under the Agreement or by law.
20 Customer Data, Switching and Termination Assistance
20.2 Subject to mandatory retention obligations, information security requirements and the Customer’s reasonable cooperation, Geist IQ shall assist the Customer in transferring or exporting the data referred to in Clause 20.1 to the Customer, its designee, another data processing service provider or on-premises ICT infrastructure, or in deleting such data from the Service. Deletion requests do not limit Geist IQ’s right under Clause 10.3 to retain and use anonymised or aggregated derived data generated before fulfilment of the request.
20.3 Geist IQ shall make the data referred to in Clause 20.1 available in a commonly used, machine-readable format and within the period required by the Data Act or other applicable mandatory law. If the requested switching or export cannot technically be completed within the applicable period, Geist IQ shall notify the Customer without undue delay of the reasons, the measures required and the expected completion period, to the extent permitted by the Data Act.
20.4 During the switching period, Geist IQ shall use reasonable efforts to maintain continuity of the Service and the integrity and confidentiality of the data to be transferred, exported or deleted, subject to the Customer’s compliance with the Agreement and any limitations inherent in the Service or the target environment.
20.5 Geist IQ may charge applicable Fees for transition support, migration work and other assistance requested by the Customer only to the extent such charges are permitted by mandatory law. Where the Data Act prohibits switching charges, Geist IQ shall not charge separate Fees for mandatory switching assistance. Any services outside mandatory switching assistance, including consultancy, training, integration work, data transformation, or development work required by the Customer’s target provider or environment, require separate written agreement and may be charged separately.
20.6 After completion of the requested transfer, export or switching, or after expiry of the request period in Clause 20.1 if no request has been made, Geist IQ may delete Customer Data and other exportable data and digital assets from the Service after giving prior notice to the Customer, unless retention is required by law, the Agreement or legitimate backup, security or compliance requirements. Backup copies may be deleted in accordance with Geist IQ’s ordinary backup cycle.
20.7 The Customer is responsible for selecting and contracting with any receiving provider, ensuring that the target provider or on-premises ICT infrastructure is technically and legally able to receive the exported data, and providing Geist IQ with the information, access rights, instructions and cooperation reasonably required for the transfer, export, switching assistance or deletion. Geist IQ is not responsible for the acts, omissions, service levels, compatibility or information security of any receiving provider or target environment not controlled by Geist IQ.
20.8 Geist IQ shall have no obligation to provide assistance beyond mandatory switching assistance if the Agreement is terminated due to a material breach of contract by the Customer, unless the Customer settles any outstanding Fees and provides security acceptable to Geist IQ for payment of future instalments.
21 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
21.1 The Agreement shall be governed by Finnish law, excluding its conflict of laws provisions and principles.
21.2 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Finland Chamber of Commerce. The seat of arbitration is Helsinki, Finland, and the language of the arbitration shall be Finnish or English, as determined by the arbitral tribunal having regard to the circumstances of the case. A clear and undisputed monetary claim may alternatively be resolved in the general court of the defendant’s domicile.
22 Miscellaneous
22.1 Assignment. The Customer may not assign the Agreement, in whole or in part, without Geist IQ’s prior written consent. Geist IQ may assign the Agreement or its obligations, in whole or in part, to a group entity or in connection with a business transfer by notifying the Customer in advance. Geist IQ may also assign Agreement receivables to a third party by notifying the Customer.
22.2 Export Controls and Sanctions. The Customer shall comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws when using the Service and shall not make the Service available to any person, entity or jurisdiction where such use or access would be prohibited. Geist IQ may suspend the Service or terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if required to comply with applicable export control or sanctions laws, or if the Customer’s use of the Service would expose Geist IQ to a breach of such laws.
22.3 Notices. Notices must be in writing and delivered by registered post, courier or email to the address specified in the Agreement. Email notices are deemed received on the sending day unless the sender receives a delivery failure notification or the notice is sent outside ordinary business hours, in which case receipt occurs on the next business day. Each Party must promptly notify the other of contact detail changes.
22.4 Electronic Signatures. The Agreement may be signed electronically, and electronic signatures shall have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures to the extent permitted by applicable law.
22.5 Amendments. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Agreement amendments must be agreed in writing. This does not limit Geist IQ’s right to make unilateral amendments, updates, Fee adjustments or Fee increases expressly permitted by the Agreement. Geist IQ may also amend these General Terms and Conditions unilaterally if the amendment results from mandatory law or third-party licence terms, is technical, administrative or clarifying, benefits the Customer, or does not materially impair the Customer’s rights or increase its obligations. Geist IQ shall notify the Customer of unilateral amendments in a reasonable manner. Advance notice is required only where the amendment may materially affect the Customer’s use of the Service or contractual position. Materially adverse amendments shall follow the applicable Agreement change procedure or be agreed in writing.
22.6 Invalidity of a Clause. If any provision of the Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in force. The Parties shall endeavour to replace the invalid or unenforceable term with a valid term that corresponds as closely as possible to the purpose of the original term.
22.7 Waiver of Rights. If a Party does not exercise a right under the Agreement, this shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or of any other rights under the Agreement.
22.8 Entire Agreement. The Agreement and its numbered appendices constitute the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter of the Agreement. Other documents, prior proposals, negotiations, marketing materials, side letters and other discussions between the Parties are not binding and do not form part of the Agreement.
22.9 Surviving Terms. Notwithstanding termination of the Agreement, any terms that, by their nature, are intended to survive termination of the Agreement shall remain in force. Such terms include, for example, those relating to confidentiality, limitations of liability, intellectual property rights and dispute resolution.
