In the following Nordic Business Forum Oy and Nordic Business Forum AB, are collectively named as “the Company” and “we”, “us” and “our”.
By using, visiting, or browsing any of our websites (the “Sites”), or by purchasing any of our products and services (“Products and Services”), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you act on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms and Conditions, in which case the terms “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity and all of its affiliates.
Any breach of these Terms and Conditions will cause immediate disqualification of the subscriber’s / purchaser’s license without any refunds.
Purchases from Nordic Business Forum have a 30-day cancellation policy from the date when the order is placed. However, cancellations will not be accepted less than 30 days before the event.
Cancellations are only accepted in writing. Leaving an invoice unpaid does not count as a cancellation. However, it is possible to allocate the ticket to a third party. The contact details of the new participant are to be sent to Nordic Business Forum immediately, at least 30 days before the event. However, it is not possible to change the person or organization liable for the payment.
Please note that when canceling your purchase, your access to our other Products and Services provided within the same purchase will automatically be terminated.
VAT is always added to the invoice according to the seller’s current local VAT legislation.
Admission charges for Nordic Business Forum’s in-person events are subject to the general VAT of the country where the event takes place, regardless of whether the customer is a consumer (B2C) or a business (B2B) and where it is located.
For Finnish customers (consumers or businesses), the general VAT is added according to the VAT rate set by the Finnish tax authorities.
For VAT registered businesses residing in other EU countries (other than Finland), no VAT is added if the business provides a valid VAT number.
For consumers residing in other EU countries (and for the businesses in other EU countries if the customer does not provide a valid VAT number), the VAT will be applied according to the customer’s home country’s VAT rules.
For non-EU customers, no VAT is added.
Access is granted to our Sites and to our Products and Services, independent of their location, solely for your use of our Products and Services for personal entertainment, information, education, and communication with us. You may print the content of the Sites for your personal non-commercial use only.
We have the right to terminate your access to the Sites and/or to the Products and Services if we determine that you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
You are solely responsible for keeping your possible password to access our Sites and/or Products and Services confidential. It is forbidden to share your password or any other information associated with the use of our Sites and/or Products and Services with anyone.
We will not be liable if for any reason our Sites and/or Products and Services are unavailable at any time or if you have internet connectivity problems for any period.
Unless otherwise specified, the products and services, including any content viewed through our digital streaming and downloadable content, are for your personal use only, and we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for that purpose. Except for the foregoing limited license, no right, title or interest shall be transferred to you.
You may not download, modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, duplicate, publish, license, create derivative works from, or offer for sale any information contained on, or obtained from or through, our Sites, without our express written consent. You may not circumvent, remove or alter any of the content protections on our Products and Services. Any unauthorized use of the Sites will terminate the limited license granted by us and will result in the cancellation of your access.
6.2.1. Online Ticket is for the use of one person only and only one device is allowed to log on to the live stream at a time. The Online Ticket holder is not allowed to use the service for group screenings. Any unauthorized use of the service will terminate the limited license granted by us and will result in the cancellation of your access without refunds.
6.2.2. Group License is for groups – for example, companies, schools, and organizations. Only one device is allowed to log on to the live stream at a time, but the Group License holder is allowed to use the service for a group screening (for employees, customers, students, or others). A group screening includes any occasion where the stream or recording is displayed to multiple viewers (i.e., more than one) in the same location (office room, auditorium, etc.). However, in all event marketing, the purchaser of the Group License needs to explicitly state that the event is an “independently organized live stream event“. In addition, the marketing of the live stream event cannot start before the live stream license has been purchased. Any unauthorized use of the service will terminate the limited license granted by us and will result in the cancellation of your access without refunds.
6.2.3. Remote Group License is for large groups that wish to watch our events remotely from several locations. We will provide you an iframe player, which allows you to showcase the live stream remotely to your employees. You can embed the player on your internal website. The internal website must be accessible only by your own employees, each with their unique authentication details. You must inform your employees in writing in connection with the live stream about our intellectual terms in section 8. Any unauthorized use of the service will terminate the limited license granted by us and will result in the cancellation of your access without refunds.
If you haven’t received an order confirmation, please check your junk e-mail folder. If you still cannot find the order confirmation, please contact us at info@nbforum.com.
If the Product(s) you wish to purchase is sold out, you will be added to the waiting list for the same Product. We will notify you if that Product becomes available, invoice you according to your order, and send you the Product(s). The price of the Product will be the same as it was at the time you joined the waiting list. If you no longer want to be on the waiting list, please contact us at info@nbforum.com.
7.3.1. Seniority level
Certain Products and Services might be designed for a specific level of seniority (e.g. CEOs and/or chairpersons). If a person who is not a part of that target group orders a ticket, we reserve the right to reject such an order and cancel the purchase.
All tickets and live stream licenses need to be assigned to a person in order for them to be valid. Each ticket or live stream license can be used by only one person. In some multi-day events, it might be possible to purchase a “Split Ticket” add-on service. With the “Split Ticket” add-on, you can separate a ticket for example into “Day 1” and “Day 2” tickets for different attendees.
The person who made the order is responsible for communicating the attendee information to us through the attendee dashboard at least 30 days before the event. The person who made the order is responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct, and Privacy Policy with the person/people using the tickets and live stream licenses.
The name, organization, and title of attendees and customers can be shared with event partners and included in our marketing and communication activities. For more information on how attendee data may be shared, please refer to our Privacy Policy (www.nbforum.com/privacy- policy/). The customer has the right to deny us permission to share their information with third parties by emailing info@nbforum.com.
We collect information about our event attendees responsibly, in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.
Your access to digital content is restricted to the duration expressed in connection with such content. We are not liable in case you have not consumed the service within the set time limit.
In the unlikely event of an incident that prevents the event from taking place (independent of the Company), we reserve the right to make changes to the date and time of the event, and its associated activities, at least one week before the event. If this happens, we will notify the participants of the new details of the event, which will be organized within thirteen months of the original event.
We also reserve the right to make changes to the event with less than one week notice if there is a justified reason, such as unexpected issues with the location or government / municipal restrictions, or if a speaker is prevented from participating due to amongst others a medical emergency, canceled or heavily delayed travel connections or restrictions by local or international officials. There are multiple speakers in events organized by us, and therefore individual changes to the list of speakers are possible.
Purchasing or assigning someone a ticket for any of our events automatically adds that individual’s email address to our newsletter database. By default, that individual will receive event information, Company updates, and other relevant information.
By attending any of our events, you and the person assigned to use a ticket consent to be filmed and/or photographed, and for your/their image and likeness to be used in our future promotional material without compensation.
With the ticket purchase, you agree to comply with the health requirements of the event. This includes our right to take any measures required or permitted by national law and/or official regulations that we consider to be necessary in order to organize a safe event. Event attendees may also be required to use face masks or other hygiene protection in accordance with the legislation in force at the time.

It is strictly forbidden to download, save and/or publish any material published within our services or authorized third parties unless agreed so in writing.
Our (our company, or our subsidiaries or any of their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, or licensors) liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaching these Terms and Conditions, including deliberate breaches, is strictly limited to the purchase price of the product or service you purchased. Speeches, lectures, commentary, reviews, and other materials posted on our Sites along with the Products and Services themselves are not intended to amount to advice on which reliance should be placed. We, therefore, disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any visitor to our Sites.
Digital content software is licensed to us and is designed to enable the streaming and downloading of digital content from us to certain devices. We do not warrant the performance of such software.
We do not warrant that any of the software used and or licensed in connection with digital content will be compatible with other third-party software nor do we warrant that operation of digital content and the associated software will not damage or disrupt other software or hardware.
