eiperuutettavia

Eiperuutettavia is a Finnish term used to describe items, obligations, or terms that cannot be canceled or revoked. The construction combines the negation ei with the adjective peruutettava, meaning cancelable, and is typically used in a plural context to modify nouns in expressions such as eiperuutettavia varauksia or eiperuutettavia sopimusehtoja. In practice, eiperuutettavia refers to commitments that are legally binding or otherwise irreversible once made.

Etymology and usage

The word is formed from ei (not) and peruutettava (cancellable), with the expected plural partitive ending -ia/-ia depending on the noun it modifies. In everyday Finnish, the negation is often written as two words (ei peruutettava) in non-technical text, whereas in legal or glossary-style writing it may appear compactly as eiperuutettavia. The term is most common in consumer contracts, travel bookings, and service agreements where cancellation rights are limited or explicitly excluded.

Meaning and scope

Eiperuutettavia typically appears in contexts where a party assumes an irrevocable obligation, such as non-cancellable hotel bookings, non-refundable tickets, deposits that cannot be returned, or contract terms that cannot be revoked. It conveys a higher degree of commitment than simply “non-refundable,” emphasizing that cancellation is not permitted under the stated terms.

Related concepts

Related terms include peruutettava (cancelable), ei-peruutettava (non-cancelable), and non-refundable, as well as broader notions of irrevocability and cancellation policies within contract law and consumer protection.

Notes

Usage may vary by legal jurisdiction and style guide, and in normal Finnish it is common to see the space-separated form ei peruutettavia in ordinary text.
