ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT
1 INTRODUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT
Yogassi (the "Service") is a background music streaming service for commercial users, including restaurants, shops and similar commercial establishments. The Service is provided by Yogassi Oy (”Yogassi” or “we”). The term "Service" means all services and applications provided by Yogassi that are inherently related to the Service. These may include, but are not limited to websites and applications for desktops, tablets and mobile handsets or other equipment.
This document sets out the terms and conditions governing the use of the Service by the end user ("End User" or “you”). The terms "End User" and “you” shall also include the employees or other authorised users of the End User to the extent applicable and permitted under the applicable subscription.
In addition to the terms set out in this document, you and Yogassi may have individually in writing agreed on special terms applicable to your subscription of the Service. Such special terms, together with this document, shall constitute the agreement between you and Yogassi concerning the subscription and use of the Service and the music provided via the service (the "Music") (this document and such special terms collectively the ”Agreement”).
The Service is intended for use in restaurants, shops and other similar commercial establishments only. The Service is not intended for users that are consumers (being an individual acting primarily for purposes other than a trade, business or profession). For the avoidance of doubt, the applicability of consumer protection legislation is expressly excluded.
By using the Service you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In the event you do not accept this Agreement, please stop using the Service immediately.
2 PREREQUISITES FOR USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

Any costs related to such equipment and cost for accessing internet shall be paid by you. Yogassi does not have any responsibility or liability for data transfer costs you may incur.
Furthermore, Yogassi shall have no responsibility for your internet connection, end user equipment or any sound system used for accessing and using the Service. Yogassi may provide certain minimum requirements or recommendations for your equipment or the internet connection, but you are solely responsible for ensuring that your equipment is compatible with and appropriate for using the Service.

Such license also applies to updates and upgrades that replace or supplement the Service in any respect and which are not distributed with a separate license, and any documentation. Furthermore, subject to the terms of this Agreement Yogassi hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited and revocable license to play the Music by using the Service in your own premises (as further defined in the relevant special terms agreed with you) on relevant devices owned or controlled by you.
Any use of the Music outside or not in connection with the Service is prohibited. Unless otherwise expressly agreed with you, the Service shall be used in Finland only.

4 YOUR OBLIGATION TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL LICENSES
You shall be liable to obtain and pay for a license to publicly perform the Music from the Finnish Composers' Copyright Society Teosto (or, in case the Service is used outside of Finland, and you have obtained a license from us to use the Service outside of Finland, the applicable local collecting society). The license must be valid throughout the entire duration of this Agreement.
