Terms of Service

1. Scope and General Provisions

These Terms of Service govern the use of the website operated by Sidra ry and all registrations, forms, and services provided through it, including educational clubs, youth programs, workshops, community events, and volunteer sign-ups.

By using this website, submitting an application, or registering for an activity, you agree to comply with these terms. Individual activities or events may specify additional program-specific terms at the time of registration, which take precedence over these general terms in the event of a conflict.

2. Registrations and Applications

• Accuracy: All information submitted via website forms (including participant details, guardian contacts, and volunteer applications) must be accurate, complete, and current.
• Binding nature: Submitting a registration form for a paid or limited-capacity activity creates a binding commitment. Sidra ry reserves the right to accept, reject, or waitlist applications based on group capacity and suitability.
• Minors: Registrations for participants under 18 years of age must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

3. Fees, Payments, and Cancellations

• Fee structure: Activity fees, payment terms, and schedules are displayed prior to registration.
• Non-refundable policy: Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific event notice, all participation fees are non-refundable once paid, including in cases of participant absence, withdrawal, or early departure.
• Cancellations by the organizer: If an activity or event is cancelled entirely by Sidra ry due to low attendance, force majeure, or organizational constraints, paid fees will be refunded in full. Sidra ry is not liable for secondary expenses incurred by participants (such as travel or equipment costs).

4. Safety and Personal Insurance

• Sidra ry does not provide leisure-time personal accident insurance (vapaa-ajan tapaturmavakuutus) for participants or volunteers.
• All participants, guardians, and volunteers are responsible for maintaining their own valid personal accident and liability insurance.
• Guardians must disclose any health conditions or dietary needs necessary for the participant's safety during physical or group activities.

5. Intellectual Property and Website Content

All content published on this website (including text, graphics, logos, lesson materials, and media) is the property of Sidra ry or used under license and is protected by Finnish and international copyright laws. Unauthorized reproduction, modification, or commercial distribution is prohibited.

6. Limitation of Liability

• Sidra ry provides the website on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that site functions will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of technical faults.
• Sidra ry is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from website downtime, server outages, or external links to third-party services.

7. Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland. Any disputes arising from these terms or the services provided will primarily be settled through amicable negotiation. If an agreement cannot be reached, disputes will be resolved in the competent district court in Finland.
