1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website tamperetoday.fi (“the Website”), operated by NordHerd. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use the Website.

2. About the Service

Tampere Today is an English-language news website that provides summaries of local news from Tampere, Finland. The Website aggregates news from various Finnish-language sources and publishes English-language summaries prepared with the assistance of AI tools, alongside original editorial content. The Website may also feature an event calendar, a job board, and a newsletter in the future.

3. Content and Intellectual Property

3.1 Our Content

All content published on tamperetoday.fi—including news summaries, original articles, editorial text, graphics, logos, and website design—is owned by or licensed to NordHerd and is protected by Finnish and international copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or republish any content from the Website without prior written permission from NordHerd, except as permitted by applicable law (e.g. short quotation for the purpose of criticism or review under the Finnish Copyright Act, Tekijänoikeuslaki 404/1961).

3.2 Third-Party Content

The Website presents summaries of news originally published by third-party Finnish-language news sources. These summaries are independently written and do not reproduce the original articles. The original articles remain the intellectual property of their respective publishers. Links to the original sources are provided for reference.

Any trademarks, logos, or brand names of third-party news sources referenced on the Website are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification purposes.

4. Use of AI Tools

Certain content on this Website, particularly news summaries, is prepared with the assistance of AI tools. These tools support the editorial process, but all content is subject to editorial oversight. AI tools are used to help translate and summarise Finnish-language news sources into English; they do not independently determine what is published.

While we strive for accuracy, summaries produced with AI assistance may occasionally contain errors, omissions, or imprecise formulations. We encourage readers to consult the linked original sources for complete and authoritative reporting.

5. Accuracy and Disclaimers

  • The accuracy of the underlying reporting by third-party news sources
  • The availability or uninterrupted functioning of the Website
  • The suitability of the content for any particular purpose

The Website does not provide professional, legal, medical, financial, or other specialist advice. You should not rely solely on the content of this Website when making decisions. We recommend consulting the original sources and, where appropriate, seeking professional advice.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Finnish law, NordHerd shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with:

  • Your use of, or inability to use, the Website
  • Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the content, including AI-assisted summaries
  • Any reliance you place on information obtained through the Website
  • Any action taken by you based on the content of the Website
  • Any loss or damage resulting from following links to third-party websites

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Finnish law, including liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.

7. User Conduct

When using the Website, you agree not to:

  • Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable Finnish, EU, or international law
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website, its servers, or any systems connected to it

  • Reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Website’s content without permission

8. Future Features

Tampere Today plans to introduce additional features, including a newsletter, an event calendar, and a job board. These features will be subject to these Terms and may also be governed by additional terms specific to each feature. Any such additional terms will be made available when the relevant feature is launched.

When user-submitted content is enabled (e.g. event listings or job postings), submitting users will be responsible for the accuracy and legality of the content they provide. NordHerd reserves the right to remove any user-submitted content at its sole discretion.

9. Links to Third-Party Websites
