In such termination, the Service Provider shall refund to the Customer any usage fees paid in advance, less the proportional usage benefit received by the Customer. The foregoing rights are the Customer's sole and exclusive remedies for defects in the Service.
6.2.4 Unless otherwise specifically warranted in these Terms, the Service is provided "as is," and the Service Provider makes no express or implied warranties (statutory or otherwise), including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, accuracy, title, or non-infringement.

6.4.3 The liability cap set out in Section 6.4.2 shall not apply if a party breaches Section 7.2 (Confidentiality) or the data processing agreement entered into between the parties.

A party may waive the application of any term of the Agreement only by a written notice signed by a duly authorized representative of such party. A one-time waiver of or concession regarding any term of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof in the future or a waiver of other terms of the Agreement on a recurring basis.
10.4 If any provision of this Agreement is found to be wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of the Agreement. To the extent that the invalidity materially impairs the interests or performance of either party under the Agreement, the parties shall negotiate a reasonable amendment to remedy the situation.
10.5 Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other party's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). However, either party may, without the other's consent, assign the Agreement in its entirety: (i) to its own subsidiary, or (ii) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets.
10.6 The Service Provider may use subcontractors in the delivery of the Service, provided that it complies with the confidentiality obligations in Section 7 and processes personal data in accordance with the data processing agreement entered into between the parties. The Service Provider shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors as for its own, and the Service Provider shall remain the Customer's sole point of contact in matters relating to the Service.

At the Customer's written request, the Service Provider shall cease using such materials in accordance with such request and without undue delay.
10.8 Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control that materially impair the performance of the party or its subcontractors (force majeure). Such force majeure events include, for example, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, war, terrorism, riots or other civil unrest, industrial action (such as boycotts, strikes, lockouts), government actions, customs and tariffs, telecommunications interruptions, internet service provider failures or widespread internet disruptions, and interruptions in the supply of electricity or other essential utilities.
10.8.1 A party invoking a force majeure event as a preventing factor under Section 10.8 above shall promptly take commercially reasonable steps to remove the impediment and mitigate its effects. If the performance of the Service is materially prevented for more than one (1) month due to such a force majeure event, either party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement by written notice without liability for damages.
10.9 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties regarding the subject matter of the Service and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, commitments, and representations made between the parties on the subject.
10.10 The Service Provider may amend these Terms (and their appendices) by publishing updated terms on its website. Notice of any amendment to the Terms shall be given 30 days prior to the amendment by email and in the software. However, the Service Provider may not amend the terms in a manner that reduces its obligations relating to the protection of confidential information without the Customer's express written consent.
10.10.1 If the Customer reasonably considers that any amendment to the terms has a materially adverse effect on it, it shall notify the Service Provider within 15 days of the publication of the amendment. If the Service Provider is unable to resolve the issue raised by the Customer (for example, by reinstating the previous term for the remainder of the period) within 15 days of the notification, the Customer may terminate the Agreement to take effect with 5 days' written notice without additional charges, and the Service Provider shall refund to the Customer any prepaid unused fees.

11.1 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its conflict of laws provisions.
11.2 Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Expedited Arbitration Rules of the Finland Chamber of Commerce. However, the Arbitration Committee of the Finland Chamber of Commerce may, at the request of a party, decide that the dispute shall be settled under the Arbitration Rules of the Finland Chamber of Commerce instead of the Expedited Arbitration Rules, if the Arbitration Committee deems this appropriate considering the value of the dispute, the complexity of the case, and other relevant factors. The place of arbitration shall be Helsinki and the language of the arbitration shall be Finnish.
