Between you and JAMK University of Applied Sciences, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the company. These terms do not obligate JAMK University of Applied Sciences to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms.

Content you submit to the forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it.

That special license allows JAMK University of Applied Sciences to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum.

When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by JAMK University of Applied Sciences, JAMK University of Applied Sciences’ special license ends when the last copy disappears from JAMK University of Applied Sciences’ backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or t JAMK University of Applied Sciences itself, the right to share your content through the forum again.

Others who receive content you submit to the forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the company will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

If JAMK University of Applied Sciences fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you will not have to indemnify JAMK University of Applied Sciences for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice.

You agree to allow JAMK University of Applied Sciences to control investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify JAMK University of Applied Sciences, and to cooperate with those efforts. JAMK University of Applied Sciences agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.

The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. JAMK University of Applied Sciences does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide.

Each and any legal dispute that may result from or in connection with this agreement, including such over the validity of this agreement itself and the arbitration clause defined above, on which the amicable settlement method was ineffective and the disagreement persists in spite of all efforts being made in this respect, shall be finally decided by the courts. The place of jurisdiction is Jyväskylä, Finland.

General Terms
