Ornamo may refuse to grant a username, revoke an issued username, or prevent the User from accessing the Login Service in the future if the User has acted or acts in violation of these terms of use, the law, or good practice. Termination of Ornamo membership or failure to pay fees for paid services may also result in the termination of access rights. 

Login allows the User to create a personal profile on the FinnishDesigners.fi website and upload their own material to the site. 

The User is responsible for ensuring they have all necessary copyright and other intellectual property rights and/or rights holder consents for the material they publish on the site and other materials they submit, transmit, or store on the site. The User agrees not to store, send, or transmit (including via linking) any material through the Service that infringes upon third-party ownership, intellectual property, or other rights. 

The website must not contain illegal or inappropriate material, including racist, pornographic, degrading, or privacy-violating content.
