Participant Terms

Latest update: 13 Aug 2026

Welcome to the terms of use for the Brella Service (hereinafter "Service"), which is provided to you by Brella Ltd.

Brella Ltd. (business ID 2765076-7) is a limited liability company formed under Finnish law, which has its principal office at Siltasaarenkatu 10, 00530 Helsinki, Finland (hereinafter "we" or "Company").

Participants may participate in professional events (hereinafter "Event" or "Events") arranged by organizers using the Service (hereinafter "Organizer"). The sponsor users of the Service (hereinafter "Sponsor") may use the Service to sponsor Events.

These terms (the "Participant Terms") apply to the legal relationship between the Participant and the Company when the Participant uses the Service. "Participant" means any natural person who uses the Service in connection with an Event, whether as an attendee, speaker, or on behalf of a Sponsor or Organizer. When Organizers use the Service to arrange Events, the legal relationship between them and the Company is governed by the Organizer Terms.

The Participant accepts these Participant Terms as legally binding (hereinafter "Agreement") by registering into the Service, by clicking to accept them or by using the Service. Where the Participant uses the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, the Participant represents that they are authorised to accept these Participant Terms on that entity's behalf and accepts them both personally and on behalf of that entity. The Agreement is therefore a contract, which creates legally binding terms between the Participant and the Company when the Participant uses the Service. The Participant may not use the Service if he/she does not enter into an Agreement with the Company.

1. GENERAL

The Company may change this Agreement. The current version is available in the Service and applies each time the Participant uses the Service. Where a change materially affects the Participant's rights, the Company will notify the Participant by email or through the Service at least fourteen (14) days before it takes effect. A Participant who does not accept a change may terminate this Agreement under Section 10.

Only natural persons may use the Service as Participants. However, the Service may not be used, and the agreement may not be accepted, if (a) the Participant is legally incompetent and/or (b) the Participant is prohibited from using the Service under any applicable law. The Service is not intended for individuals under 16 years of age. By creating an Account, you confirm that you are at least 16. If we become aware that a Participant is under 16, we will close the Account and delete the associated personal data.

By creating an account into the Service (hereinafter "Account") and by using the Service, the Participant warrants that he/she is legally qualified and entitled to enter into a binding legal relationship with the Company in the form of the Agreement and in compliance with applicable legislation.

2. CREATING AN ACCOUNT

The Participant may create an Account through the Service.

When registering, the Participant must truthfully provide the information required by the Service. The accuracy of the information provided by the Participant can be reviewed by the Company during the registration process.

Participants are solely responsible for all activities performed through the Account and for the safe use of the password, maintenance, confidentiality and all other such matters in regard to their Account. If the Participant becomes aware that someone else has used the Participant's Account, the Participant must notify us immediately of the matter by email at support@brella.io.

3. LICENSE AND PROVISION OF EVENTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable and non-transferable license ("License") to download, install and use the Service in accordance with this Agreement on a mobile telephone, tablet, computer or other device (each, a "Device") that you own or control.

You agree not to, and shall not permit any third party to: (i) sublicense, redistribute, sell, lease, lend or rent the Service; (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the platform; (iii) copy (except for back-up purposes), modify, adapt, alter, improve or create derivative works of the software or any part thereof; (iv) use the Company's name, logo or trademarks in any other context except for using the Service without our prior written consent; (v) use the Service or software to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or for any unlawful, harmful, irresponsible or inappropriate purpose, or in any manner that breaches this Agreement; and/or engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Service.

Participants may use the Service to participate in Events organized by the Organizers through the Service.

4. PAYMENTS

Currently Participants have the right to use the Service for free.

Possible payment information and payment methods will be specified and presented through the Service and the Agreement.

5. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTICIPANT

The Participant is solely responsible for his/her actions in the Events. The Participant must act accordingly, lawfully and truthfully in all Events he/she participates in.

The Participant is solely responsible for his/her electronic devices, communication devices and other such devices and matters such as hardware condition, internet connection, antivirus, backup, and other similar issues.

The Participant agrees to use the Service only for the purposes permitted by the Agreement and any applicable laws, regulations or generally accepted policies or guidelines in the relevant jurisdiction.

It is forbidden to choose a username for the Account that violates good practice and/or violates the rights of others. The Company may close a Participant's Account if the Participant violates this Agreement, law or good practice, or has not signed in for 12 months. Closing an Account ends the Participant's access and removes the profile data the Company holds for that Account. Content the Participant has contributed within an Organizer's Event remains under that Organizer's control, and the Company removes it only on the Organizer's instruction or as the Organizer Terms provide.

The Participant agrees not to take up any actions that disturbs or in any other way hinders the Service or its servers or networks.

The Participant further agrees not to:

(i) use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, bot, script or other automated means to access, monitor, index, copy or extract any part of the Service or any content or data available through it;

(ii) collect, harvest, compile, extract or store, whether manually or by automated means, the personal data or profile information of other Participants, Organizers or Sponsors, other than as is necessary for the Participant's own participation in the relevant Event using the features made available in the Service;

(iii) extract or re-utilise a substantial part of any database made available through the Service, or repeatedly extract or re-utilise insubstantial parts of such a database in a manner that conflicts with the Company's normal exploitation of it;

(iv) use any data obtained through the Service to send unsolicited commercial communications, or to train, fine-tune or otherwise develop any machine learning or artificial intelligence model;

(v) access the Service by any interface other than those made available by the Company, or use another person's Account or access credentials;

(vi) circumvent, disable or attempt to circumvent or disable any rate limit, access control, authentication measure or other technical measure that protects the Service or the data available through it;

(vii) harass, threaten, abuse, defame, stalk or intimidate any other Participant, Organizer or Sponsor, or engage in conduct that is discriminatory, hateful or intended to demean another person on the basis of a protected characteristic;

(viii) impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, including by using a name, title, company or photograph that is not your own;

(ix) use any AI-based or generative feature of the Service to create, generate or disseminate content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes the rights of any third party; or

(x) attempt to manipulate, circumvent the intended operation of, or extract the underlying prompts, models or training data of any AI-based feature of the Service, including by prompt injection or similar techniques.

(xi) use the Service, or any data obtained from it, to build or operate anything that competes with the Service.

Where the Company has reasonable grounds to believe that the Participant has acted in breach of the preceding paragraph, or where the Organizer of the relevant Event asks the Company to do so for reasons connected with the operation or security of that Event, the Company may suspend the Participant's access to the Service and may terminate this Agreement and close the Account. The Company may tell the Organizer about a breach of this Agreement, and the Organizer may take its own action under its own terms with the Participant.

The Service may contain links to third party websites. When you visit third party websites, you do so on your own risk.

The Participant agrees not to send, transmit or store material through the Service that is in violation of good practice or law. The Participant also agrees not to incite others to engage in any such activities. Furthermore, the Participant agrees not to violate anyone's intellectual property rights through the Service.

The Company owns and retains all proprietary rights in the Service, and in all content, trademarks, trade names, service marks and other intellectual property rights related thereto. The Service contains the copyrighted material, trademarks, and other proprietary information of the Company and its licensors. You agree to not copy, modify, transmit, create any derivative works from, make use of, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, trade names, service marks, or other intellectual property or proprietary information accessible through the Service, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Company. You agree to not remove, obscure or otherwise alter any proprietary notices appearing on any content, including copyright, trademark and other intellectual property notices.

If the Participant does not comply with this Agreement, the Company may terminate the Agreement with direct legal effect, cancel the Account of the Participant and implement any other similar procedure.

The Participant accepts and agrees that the Company may share the Participant's personal data with the Organizer of the Event in which the Participant participates, and, where the Organizer has enabled data sharing with a specific Sponsor of that Event via the Service, with that Sponsor. The Organizer is the controller of that personal data and is responsible for its own lawful basis and use of it. A Sponsor acts as an independent controller once it receives the data and is responsible for its own lawful basis and use from that point.

The Service may allow the Participant to post content such as profile information, questions and posts. That content may be visible to other users of the Service and, depending on the Organizer's configuration, to the public. By posting it, the Participant grants the Company and the Organizer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, with the right to sublicense to the Company's service providers, to use, copy, adapt, publish, transmit, display and distribute it for the purpose of operating, providing and promoting the Service and the Event.

Messages the Participant sends to named recipients, including direct messages and meeting requests, are not covered by that licence. The Company may store and deliver them and act on a report under Section 6. Neither the Company nor the Organizer may publish them or use them for promotion or marketing.

The Participant warrants that the Participant has read and understood Brella Service's Privacy Policy and especially the data protection roles related to the Service.

The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and Event Organizers to schedule, modify, reschedule, or cancel meetings and networking sessions on the Participant's behalf within the Service for event management purposes.

This authorization includes but is not limited to: (i) automatic matching and meeting scheduling based on participant preferences and availability, (ii) rescheduling meetings due to schedule conflicts or event changes, and (iii) canceling meetings when necessary for event operations. These features are assistive: they organize meeting logistics and suggest options. They are not designed to produce legal effects concerning the Participant, or to affect the Participant similarly significantly, within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR. The Participant is notified of any scheduling action taken and may modify or cancel any meeting through the Service.

5A. SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS

This Section applies where a Participant uses the Service on behalf of a company participating in an Event as a sponsor, exhibitor or partner (a "Sponsor"). "Attendee Data" means personal data relating to an event attendee that the Sponsor obtains through the Service, including through lead capture or scanning.

A Sponsor that receives, retains or uses Attendee Data obtained through the Service accepts this Section in respect of that data. Where the individual who accepted these terms on the Sponsor's behalf was not authorised to do so, the Sponsor may not receive, retain or use Attendee Data, and shall delete any Attendee Data already obtained on notice from the Company.

By accepting these Participant Terms, the Participant binds the Sponsor to this Section, and the Sponsor is responsible for the acts and omissions of each individual who uses the Service on its behalf.

The Sponsor shall obtain Attendee Data only through the functionality made available in the Service, where the Organizer has enabled it and the attendee has taken the action within the Service that triggers the sharing, and shall not obtain or attempt to obtain Attendee Data by any other means.

On receipt of Attendee Data the Sponsor acts as an independent controller and is solely responsible for its own legal basis, notices and compliance with applicable law, including on direct marketing. The Sponsor shall use Attendee Data only for its business communications with that attendee in connection with the Event, shall respect any preference the attendee has expressed in the Service and any objection or unsubscribe request made to it, and shall not (i) sell or otherwise make Attendee Data available to any third party for consideration, or (ii) use Attendee Data to train, fine-tune or otherwise develop any machine learning or artificial intelligence model.

The Company transmits Attendee Data to the Sponsor as processor on the Organizer's instruction and configuration, is not a controller, processor or joint controller in respect of the Sponsor's processing after receipt, and gives no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of Attendee Data. The Sponsor shall indemnify the Company against any third-party claim arising from its breach of this Section, and the Company may suspend or terminate access where it reasonably believes this Section has been breached.

6. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company operates only and solely as the administrator of the Service. The Company is not responsible for the availability, redemption, marketing or any related obligations of the Events or liabilities, errors, reliability, damages or any other matters related to the Events. The Company is also not responsible for the use, obstruction or content of the Events, nor for the actions of the Organizers or Participants in the Events or before the Events, or for the activities of Organizers or Participants in the Service.

Subject to Section 7, the Company is not liable for damages in connection with the Service or the information and notices available through it, including damages caused to the Participant or third parties by incorrect or insufficient user information.

The Company is not responsible for any losses arising from the use of the Service subject to Section 7. Participants agree to be solely responsible for any failure to comply with their obligations under this Agreement and for their consequences.

The Company does not express or imply warranties or representations about the operation of features of the Service, and the Company does not promise that the Service will function without interruptions or errors. Except as set out in Section 7, the Company is not responsible for any damages to the Participant or third parties caused by the use, malfunctions, technical defects or malicious software of the Service or third-party links or any other such causes.

The Company has a right to disable the Service or a part of it due to maintenance, installation, modification, public order and safety, system overload or other similar cause. The Company may terminate (permanently or temporarily) the provision of the Service (or any part of it), either to the Participant or Participants generally, entirely at the Company's own discretion and without prior notice, save that the Company will use reasonable efforts to give advance notice where the termination is not urgent.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind including, without limitation, representations, warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and those arising by statute or from a course of dealing or usage of trade, except to the extent such disclaimer is not permitted under applicable law.

The Service may also enable you to view, access, communicate and interact with third party sources, meaning e.g. third party websites and services. We do not assume any responsibility for the content, actions or practices of, any such sources. Your interaction with such a source and your use of, and reliance upon, any content provided by such sources is at your sole discretion and risk.

The Company is not responsible for the content of the Service or its correctness, except for the content generated by The Company. Thus, the Company is not responsible for e.g. information the Participants or the Organizers disclose through the Service.

The Company has the right to remove material (i) that has been denied or reported by the Company in the Service, or (ii) which, according to the Company is unlawful, contrary to good practice or this Agreement, inappropriate or erroneous, or (iii) harmful to the Company, Participants or third parties. The Company also has the right to remove material from the Service if the material contains any legally questionable or offensive information or content that is inappropriate for the Company.

The Participant may report content or conduct they consider unlawful or in breach of this Agreement by contacting the Company at support@brella.io or through the reporting functionality in the Service. The Company will assess reports and may remove content, restrict access to features of the Service, or suspend or close an Account, and will remove unlawful content promptly once it becomes aware of it. Where the Company removes a Participant's content or restricts their access, it will inform the Participant of the decision and the reasons for it, unless prohibited by law or where doing so would prejudice the prevention or investigation of unlawful activity, and the Participant may contest the decision by contacting support@brella.io.

The Service derives anonymized data from the way the Participant uses the Service during the Organizer's event, including matchmaking data generated in the Service ("Anonymized Usage Data"). Anonymized Usage Data is anonymized such that it can no longer be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person, whether by the Company or by any other party, using means reasonably likely to be used. The Company will not attempt to re-identify it. The Company owns all right, title and interest in Anonymized Usage Data and may freely use it for its own purposes.
