Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 22 July 2022
Club Leaf B.V. and its affiliates (collectively, “we”, “us” or “Club Leaf”) provides the content and services available on the mobile application (the “App”) and/or website (collectively, the “Software”) to you (“you” or “User(s)”) subject to the following terms of use and our Privacy Statement and Cookie Policy which are incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Terms”). By accessing or using the Software, you are acknowledging that you have read, understood and agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by these Terms. This means that you agree to be bound by these Terms whether or not you choose to register an account. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should cease any and all use of and, where applicable, uninstall the Software. The Terms may be revised by Club Leaf from time to time.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR SERVICES AND THE SOFTWARE
You can start off by using our App to calculate your CO2 footprint based on your lifestyle information which you provide to us. The CO2 footprint is based on calculation of the estimated greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, place or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. This calculation is based on your lifestyle choices and is an estimation only. After calculating your CO2 footprint, the Software allows you to create an account and enjoy the advantages of the Club Leaf service. This service enables you to offset your CO2 footprint by earning or purchasing ‘Leaf’. Each Leaf you earn or purchase represents an amount of verified emission reductions (‘voluntary emission reduction’ or ‘verified emission reduction’; ‘VER’). With each Leaf you compensate your CO2 footprint.
On the website, Club Leaf will provide information on the CO2 offset purchases to demonstrate that the promised quantity of CO2 emissions have been reduced. This may include certification by an independent third party.
CREATING AN ACCOUNT
You can access the Software and calculate your CO2 footprint without an account. Before you can earn or purchase Leaf to offset your CO2 footprint, you are required to create an account. You can create an account by completing the fields in which you need to insert your personal information.
You undertake to provide accurate information when creating an account and shall refrain from creating an account under the identity of a third party. You must keep your username and password secret and prevent third parties from accessing your email account or mobile phone. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your identifiers (email address and password) and agree to immediately notify Club Leaf of any unauthorized transactions associated with the Software or any other breach of security. In no event shall Club Leaf and/or any third party be responsible for any losses or damages arising out of or related to (i) unauthorized or fraudulent transactions associated with the Software or (ii) the loss or theft of information from your Club Leaf account.
PURCHASE OF LEAF
Leaf can either be earned or purchased. You can earn Leaf by completing challenges. Once earned or purchased, Leaf cannot be exchanged for money.
You have the option to purchase separate Leaf incidentally or to purchase a subscription for a fixed number of Leaf per month.
The following terms of sale apply to all orders placed through the Software:

d. Subscriptions:

e. Subscription term, renewal and fees payment:

By submitting a subscription request, you hereby authorise us, either directly or through our payment processing service, to charge the applicable subscription fees via your selected payment method upon the date selected by you. These subscription fees are non-refundable. In the event of a failure to collect the subscription fees owed by you, we may retry to collect the subscription fees at a later time, and/or to suspend or cancel your account without notice. If we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any due and payable subscription fees, this will be considered a breach of your payment obligations to us and your account may be disabled or terminated until such time as the applicable subscription fees (including any fees and expenses incurred by us or third party service providers) have been collected.
