Terms and conditions
About Community
Visma Community is an online community developed by Visma for its customers and others who want to gain knowledge about Visma's products and services and receive relevant professional information.
If you want to actively participate in the Community, you must register as a user. You will then have the opportunity to communicate with Visma and like-minded users about our products, services and professional topics.
Visma's goal is to ensure that Community is a secure platform for communication. Guidelines for Visma Community can be found here.
Your obligations when using Community
Visma Community should be an arena for receiving important information and exchange of user experiences. We want people to use Community to share their experiences and ask questions that are important to them, but not at the expense of the other users or the integrity of the community. Politeness, good manners and respect for other members are crucial to being a member of the Community.
When you create a user in Community, you shall:
- Use the same name that you use on a daily basis
- Never share your password or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission)
- Not write anything that is illegal, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent
- Not infringe or violate anyone else's rights, including intellectual property rights
- Not publish phone numbers, email addresses, account numbers or other confidential or sensitive information. What you write will be visible to other users.
Visma's rights
Visma reserves the right to:
- In some cases, move your post to a more appropriate forum in Community
- Delete content that is defined as advertising, sales promotions, spam etc.
- Update the Community Guidelines
- Edit and remove inappropriate content, and
- Block members if they do not follow Visma's guidelines for the service or violate these general terms and conditions
Visma further reserves the right to update these general terms and conditions. Visma only makes changes if this is necessary due to new legislation, if the provisions are no longer sufficient or if the provisions are incomplete. Visma will notify you (e.g. by e-mail or through Community) at least 30 days before we make significant changes to the terms of these general terms and conditions, unless the changes are due to a requirement by applicable law. This gives you an opportunity to review the changes before they take effect and possibly deactivate the user if you do not want to accept the new general terms and conditions.
If you wish to deactivate your Visma Community user, send an email to community@visma.com.
Liability
Visma is not responsible for what our customers or other external persons publish on the Community platform.
Much of the information you find in Community is produced and published by other members who are not employees of Visma. Many of Visma's customers have a broad knowledge of our products, and they will often publish useful information and answers to your questions. Visma cannot be held responsible for incorrect advice and information provided by non-employee members.
Processing of personal data
Personal information about users that will be visible to others and searchable online and outside the Community includes: the image you choose to upload, your Visma Community username, the date of registration and your last visit to the Community. In addition to this, what you choose to publish in open areas will also be visible.
Note that what you actively choose to publish in Community, such as posts in the discussion forum, will not be deleted even if your user account is disabled. Based on legitimate interests, Visma will keep these posts in order to fulfill the objective of facilitating community support by providing the dialogue with Visma and between users available. Visma does not consider this intrusive to users' privacy, as Community invites voluntary academic discussion topics.

- Receive, process and share posts and suggestions from users to further develop Visma's products and services

This profile, along with other information you may give us, forms the basis for what type of information and how Visma communicates relevant information to you, both within and outside the Community. For more information about the profiling, your rights when Visma is profiling, and Visma’s use of legitimate interest for such processing, see Visma’s Privacy Statement.
