4. Website Content and Intellectual Property

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, diagrams, images, video, and the underlying design (the "Content"), is owned by ENGINORD or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted below, no part of the Content may be reproduced, distributed, modified, publicly displayed, or used to create derivative works, without ENGINORD's prior written consent.

Where Content on the Site discusses, summarises or quotes third-party sources — for example, in our Insights articles, that underlying material remains the property of its respective owners. ENGINORD's ownership under this clause extends to our own original text, analysis and commentary, and to the selection and arrangement of Content on the Site, not to the facts, quotations, or source material we reference. Short quotations are used under applicable copyright exceptions (such as quotation or fair dealing) with clear attribution and, where possible, a link to the original source. Any third-party names, logos or trade marks referenced in our Content belong to their respective owners; their use is for identification and commentary purposes only and does not imply any endorsement of, or affiliation with, ENGINORD.

You may view, download and print pages of the Site for your own personal, non-commercial reference, provided you do not modify the Content and you keep all copyright and other proprietary notices intact.

You must not use the Content for any commercial purpose, or republish, redistribute or syndicate it to any other website or medium, without our prior written permission.

ENGINORD's name, logo, and any related marks are the trade marks of ENGINORD. Nothing on the Site grants any licence or right to use them without our prior written permission.

We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission at any time.

8. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as LinkedIn or partner sites, provided for your convenience only.

It does not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, professional, technical, engineering, safety, legal, financial or regulatory advice.

Any engagement of ENGINORD's advisory services is governed exclusively by a separate, signed agreement between ENGINORD and the client, the terms of which will take precedence over any general information published on the Site.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including to the fullest extent permitted by law implied warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. ENGINORD does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free of errors or viruses.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Finnish or EU law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Site, shall be governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute shall be settled by the competent Finnish court, with Länsi-Uudenmaan käräjäoikeus (the Western Uusimaa District Court, seated in Espoo) as the court of first instance, unless mandatory consumer-protection law provides otherwise.

14. Severability and General

If any provision of these Terms is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ENGINORD regarding use of the Site, and supersede any prior understanding relating to the Site. No waiver of any provision shall be treated as a further or continuing waiver.
