GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SINGLE LICENSE FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY OF A MOVIE
By making an agreement with M&M Viihdepalvelu Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “M&M”) regarding the public display of a single movie, the customer accepts the following terms and conditions:
1. M&M Viihdepalvelu Ltd. grants the customer the right to publicly display the Movie covered by this agreement in a space specified by the customer in the license application.
2. The term “Movie” refers to movies or television series produced or distributed by those film companies represented by M&M in Finland at the time of the performance and identified in the customer’s license application.
3. The license is granted only to the customer whose primary commercial activity does not involve the presentation of Movies. By accepting this agreement, the customer confirms and warrants compliance with this condition.
4. The customer is prohibited from using the Movies in any way to advertise or market third-party products or services directly or indirectly. In particular, it is noted that under no circumstances are the Movies allowed to be presented outside Finland under this license.
5. The Movie may only be presented in spaces owned or controlled by the customer, which are defined in the license application.
6. The Movies may only be presented from recordings obtained from a legal source. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the recording or source of the Movie can be used for the presentation in accordance with this agreement. The customer must obtain the recordings themselves and is responsible for their acquisition costs. These costs are not related in any way to the compensation for public presentation referred to in this agreement.
7. The customer is not allowed to copy or distribute movie recordings to the public, rent or lend movies to the public, or in any way make movies available to the public other than for the purpose specified in this agreement. It is also prohibited to edit, cut, or otherwise modify the movies.
8. No admission fee or other fee related to the time and location of the movie presentation may be charged for single-license movie screenings. For some of the movies you represent, it is possible to arrange ticket sales under special conditions. If you want to find out about current practices, please contact info@viihdepalvelu.com.
9. According to the Audiovisual Program Act, the organizer of a movie screening is obliged to ensure age limit control for the event or occasion. The age limit of the movie must be announced before the screening and preferably also in advance marketing so that the age limit can be prepared for. Only classified movies may be presented in public screenings. You can check the age limits and get more information on the subject from Kavi’s website.
10. The customer can advertise screenings in the space specified in the agreement, such as bulletin boards and info display. The name of the movie can also be mentioned in the following electronic channels – the customer’s own website, intranet, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and email newsletters. The terms of the single license agreement allow the movie name to be mentioned in print advertising, such as posters and event pages in newspapers. The screening license does not cover the use of movie marketing materials. You can inquire about pictures and other marketing materials directly from distribution and production companies.
11. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate licenses from copyright organizations representing music creators have been obtained for the performance of music included in the movies. In the case of municipalities and cities, the performance of music has been agreed upon in agreements between the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities and copyright organizations.

12. The license period and the right to display the movies are valid for a separately defined period.
13. The compensation specified for the right to display the movies is paid against the invoice provided by M&M. The price of the license is based on the information provided by the customer to M&M.
14. If the customer fails to pay the invoice provided by M&M and the invoice remains unpaid for 30 days after the due date indicated on the invoice, the granted right to display the movies will automatically expire. In such a situation, the customer is still obliged to pay the invoice and is not entitled to compensation for the period during which the right to display was not valid due to the delay.
15. The customer is not allowed to transfer this license to a third party without the written consent of M&M, which, on the other hand, has this right.
16. M&M has the right to terminate this agreement immediately if the customer violates the terms of this agreement. If the agreement is terminated due to a breach of the terms of the agreement, no compensation already paid will be refunded. If M&M or the customer agree on a specific violation by the other party, it will not affect previous, ongoing, or future violations.
17. If the customer violates the terms of the agreement and M&M has to hire a lawyer, the customer agrees to pay M&M reasonable legal and other costs incurred.
18. By accepting the compensation mentioned in the license application, the customer guarantees that the information provided by him/her is correct and complete. This agreement is legal, valid, and binding on the customer. Its terms must be followed.
19. Rights not specifically granted to the customer in this agreement are expressly reserved for M&M and/or its movie rights holders.
20. The customer’s agreement and these terms and conditions contain the entire agreement between M&M and the customer.
21. Finnish law applies to disputes between M&M and the customer. Any disputes will be resolved primarily through negotiations and ultimately in the Helsinki District Court.
