Unless the Advertiser has provided written notice to the contrary no later than when submitting the advertising materials, Keskisuomalainen Media Group reserves the right to store the advertisement on a storage platform and use it in presentations, training, and research compilations, as well as on its own internet and extranet sites. Keskisuomalainen Media Group also reserves the right to use materials from completed advertising campaigns in its own marketing and communication channels, unless the Advertiser has specifically prohibited this no later than when submitting the advertising materials.

These Terms of Sale shall be applied to both individual products or services and campaigns.  In this case, a campaign refers to an approach that utilises the same advertising message or messages and/or target group, and where the full scope of the campaign has been specified prior to the beginning of the campaign.

These Terms of Sale shall not be applied to the so-called third party services of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen’s partner media nor the advertising of Kärkimedia.

There may be medium-specific differences concerning the reserving of products and services or their scheduled delivery, pricing and discounts. These differences are detailed for each medium.

In case of an incompatibility between the order confirmation and Advertiser-specific agreement and these Terms or medium-specific special terms, the Advertiser-specific agreement or order confirmation shall be applicable by priority (if both, then the more recent document), medium-specific special terms secondarily, and these general Terms of Sale lastly.

If the advertising material was brokered by an advertising or media agency or other service-sector business, the said agent shall be responsible for the adherence to all separately agreed terms and these Terms of Sale and the agent’s own obligations, including responsibility for the content of the advertising material and charges with full credit loss liability. The Advertiser who placed the order is responsible for the content and charges of advertising material shared by two or more Advertisers.

The Advertiser agrees to follow these Terms of Sale as well as the medium-specific special terms or special terms agreed by the Parties at the time in question.

One-off advertising agreements shall expire without termination once the service has been realised.

Fixed term agreements shall be valid for a given period and expire without termination on the final day of the period. Regardless of their fixed-term nature, both Parties are allowed to terminate one-year agreements in writing during the agreement validity period with a term of notice of three (3) months, in which case the final discount rate shall be determined by the realised time of agreement.

If no prior consent is given, the Advertiser may use cookies only to measure campaign results (showings, coverage, and conversion).

If a campaign is targeted based on the online activities of visitors, the Advertiser shall follow the principles of the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework and take (or require its partners to take) necessary technical and other measures to comply with the principles.

The Advertiser is responsible for the systems it utilises as well as its own actions and the actions of its representatives and subcontractors. The Advertiser shall ensure its partners know and follow the restrictions specified in these Terms.

Unless otherwise specifically agreed, the terms described below in this chapter shall be applied to all agreements between Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen and the Advertiser in so far as they involve processing of personal data by Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen on the behalf of the data controller (the Advertiser), or processing of personal data by the Advertiser on the behalf of the data controller (Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen). The data controller is the Party that defines the purposes and means of processing of personal data. The processor is the Party that processes personal data on the behalf of the data controller. Depending on the nature of the cooperation, one Party may simultaneously act as the data controller regarding some data and as the processor regarding other data.

The target, nature and purpose of processing of personal data as well as the types of personal data and registered groups are defined in the agreement between the Parties or the data controller’s written instructions provided prior to the processing of personal data. Regarding digital advertising, the purpose is to target the Advertiser’s advertising campaign and regarding chatbots, the purpose is to supply leads to the Advertiser, unless otherwise agreed. The duration of processing data is limited to the retention period determined necessary for the agreed campaign. In so far as the data groups utilised in targeting consist of data related to the use of the Advertiser’s websites or other personal data of the Advertiser or leads are supplied particularly to the Advertiser through the use of chatbots, the Advertiser acts as the data controller. In that case, the registered groups are the users of the Advertiser’s website, and the Advertiser’s customers and potential customers. Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen acts as the data controller regarding data related to the use of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen’s websites and other personal data of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen, including target groups of advertising generated based on the personal data. In that case, the registered groups are the users of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen’s websites, and Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen’s customers and potential customers.

The data collector shall ensure that its grounds for processing the collected personal data comply with the data protection rules, and it has the right to transfer the data to the processor for processing. The data controller also ensures that the obligations determined in the data protection rules are complied with and the written instructions given to the processor by the data controller comply with the data protection rules.

In so far as Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen acts as the processor of the Advertiser’s personal data or when the Advertiser acts as the processor of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen’s personal data, the Parties agree, for their own part, to:

• process registered personal data only on the behalf of the data controller for the purpose specified in the agreement between the Parties and according to the current data protection rules;
• process registered personal data according to the written instructions based on the data protection rules and provided only by the data controller (unless otherwise agreed, these Terms are the written instructions given to the processor);
• notify the data controller if they deem that the data controller’s instructions violate data protection rules;
• ensure that the people processing personal data are under a non-disclosure contract;
• adequately protect personal data according to their own practices and the agreement between the Parties to ensure the confidentiality, coherence and accessibility of personal data;
• help the data controller fulfil the data controller’s obligation to respond to requests regarding the exercise of registered rights specified in the data protection rules;
• help the data controller, with reasonable efforts, ensure that the obligations of the data controller specified in the data protection rules are complied with;
• erase all personal data after the services related to the processing have ended, unless if and to the extent that an applicable compelling European Union legislation or national legislation demands the retention of personal data;
• notify the data controller after having received a notice of a data security violation of personal data;
• provide the data controller with data that is necessary for proving that the obligations specified in the data protection rules have been complied with; and
• allow the data controller or its authorised auditors perform inspections and participate in the inspections.

The data controller grants the processor a general prior authorisation to use the services of another processor of personal data. The processor is responsible for the work of its subcontractors and for its own work. The data collector has the right to object to a specific subcontractor, in which case, the processor aims to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the subcontractor. If the aforementioned change cannot be executed, the Parties have the right to terminate the cooperation without a liability for damages. Termination of the agreement does not release the Advertiser of its financial obligation for measures taken prior to the termination.

If the Advertiser violates the Terms specified herein, Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen has the right to terminate the Advertiser’s campaigns (including the campaign that violated these terms and all other campaigns under any services of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen) with immediate effect and terminate all agreements between the Advertiser and Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen, without a liability for damages.

Both Parties are obliged to compensate the other Party for direct damage (including administrative fines imposed by authorities, compensation for damage paid to the registered people, and reasonable legal expenses) resulting from the compensating Party having processed personal data in violation of these Terms or obligations specified in the data protection rules. Neither Party is responsible for lost profits nor other indirect damage.

At the end of a retargeting campaign, the Advertiser agrees to erase any used advertising tags that direct to the websites of Mediahouse Keskisuomalainen.

If the event is cancelled in full, the Parties will refund any payments made to the extent reasonably possible. The cost of media space and other visibility received by the Advertiser prior to the cancellation will be deducted from any such payment made.

In addition to the aforementioned terms and conditions, the Advertiser undertakes to comply with any special terms and conditions that have been specifically agreed or of which it has been notified for each event or event type. The special terms and conditions specify in more detail the event’s practical implementation, including the programme content, partner department, event marketing and event target groups.
