  • keep your login details confidential;
  • notify us promptly of any unauthorised access or security breach; and
  • accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe there has been misuse, fraud, or breach of these Terms.

7. Compliance Checks (KYC/AML)

To protect the Platform and comply with legal obligations, we may require identity, verification, or compliance checks (including source-of-funds/source-of-wealth checks where applicable). You agree to provide requested information and documentation.

We may refuse, pause, or cancel access to certain features if verification cannot be completed.

8. Credit Listings, Verification, and Availability

8.1 Project information

Project and Credit descriptions may be based on information from project operators, partners, verifiers, registries, or other third parties.

We do not guarantee that any Credit will be issued, certified, verified, accepted by a third-party standard, or achieve a particular environmental outcome.

8.3 Availability

Credits and Projects may be limited, delayed, changed, or withdrawn without notice.

8.4 Methodologies

Where methodologies, standards, or third-party verification are referenced, those may change over time and are outside our control.

9. Purchases, Pre-Credits, and Returns

Where the Platform enables purchases (now or in future), the following applies:

  • any fees, unit pricing, payment methods, and delivery/issuance terms will be displayed at the point of purchase and may include additional terms specific to that product or Project;
  • estimated returns, projections, or "annual returns" tables are illustrative forecasts and not guaranteed;
  • market prices for Credits may rise or fall, and liquidity may be limited;

If you proceed with any transaction, you agree you understand and accept these risks.
