Offsetting Service
During your Greenspark subscription we grant you limited, exclusive, non-transferrable virtual emissions quotas. The virtual emissions quotas will always correspond to actual quotas acquired by Greenspark that will be deleted from the market and made unavailable to all third-parties. The same applies where you buy separate virtual quotas outside of your subscription, such as when “adding impact”. Unless specifically stated by us, the origin of the actual emission quotas may vary from time to time and may be affected by a variety of factors such as your location and/or availability of emissions quotas. We strive to at all times acquire generally accepted emissions trading solutions, emissions quotas or certified emissions reductions as provided by regional or national states, international organisations and similar (for example: UN, EU, Plastic Bank, Gold Standard, other recognised NGOs). We warrant that the origin of the quotas is certified and/or provided by such entities and/or the market/platforms provided by them and such information is made available on our Site, Platform or can be requested by you via email our chat support feature. We will balance the amount of CO2 and Plastic reductions achieved by acquiring quotas with the amount of virtual emissions reductions in order to secure that the number of quotas corresponds to the number of virtual emissions reductions. The total amount of CO2 offset, plastic rescued or trees planted will always be balanced and made publicly available.
Payment of Fees
5.1 General payment information
You will pay us the fees together with any VAT described for each Service you subscribe for or purchase in accordance with these Terms (the “Fees”). Full details on our pricing page can be found here.
We reserve the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Service Term (defined below) or then‑current renewal term upon prior notice to you, which may be sent by email.
For subscriptions or purchases made on the Site/Platform, payment is due on the terms applicable to that subscription or purchase as displayed at the point of purchase. For purchases that are invoiced by Greenspark, payment is due on the invoice date. Unpaid amounts may result in termination of Service.
You will be responsible for all taxes associated with your use of Services that are attributable or due by you. If an applicable tax authority requires us to pay any taxes that should have been payable by you, we will advise you in writing, and you will promptly reimburse us for the amounts paid.
5.2 Additional fees
If your use of the Services requires the payment of additional fees, you agree to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. This may happen where you, for example but not limited to, “add impact” to your dashboard.
5.3 Invoices
Except as otherwise provided, payment for invoices is due within 30 days of your receipt of the applicable invoice.
If payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to, in addition to taking any other action at law or equity, to (i) charge interest on past due amounts at the rate set by The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 and to charge all expenses of recovery (including reasonable legal fees), (ii) suspend your access to the Services until overdue amounts are paid in full, including any interest assessed on the overdue amounts, and (iii) terminate our agreement.
5.4 Subscription Services
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set on a monthly or yearly basis. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Greenspark cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting our customer support team. A valid payment method, including credit card or PayPal, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Greenspark with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, post code, telephone number, valid payment method information and where applicable a valid VAT number. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorise Greenspark to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to this payment instrument. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Greenspark will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must process manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
5.5 One-off Products
Some products, such as our “add impact” packages are purchased on a one-off basis. Once purchased, that product will automatically be added to your dashboard for as long as you have a valid subscription to the relevant subscription package that the product relates to.
5.6 Promotions
Paragraphs 5.3-5.5 are subject to any promotional offers we may make from time to time. For example, we may be inclined to offer discounted Fees for our subscription products. If we do that, we reserve the right to start charging you Fees at the standard non-promotional advertised price on our Site after the promotional period ends.
5.7 Refunds
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable. If you cancel your subscription, it will continue until the end of the current billing cycle. If you decide to downgrade your subscription during a billing cycle, you will automatically be issued pro-rated credits, which will be applied to your following billing cycle.
5.8 Incorrect bills
If you believe that we have billed you incorrectly you must contact us no later than 7 days after the invoice in which the error or problem appeared. Inquiries should be directed to our customer support department using email or our chat support feature.
5.9 Service levels & support
Greenspark will provide support and availability for the Services in accordance with Annex A, which may be updated from time to time; with the proviso that any such update will not significantly reduce the level of support offered by Greenspark for the Services. Greenspark reserves the right to temporarily suspend your access to and use of the Services without advance notice, in certain circumstances, such as: (a) during planned downtime for upgrades and maintenance to the Services (of which Greenspark will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in advance through notice to your account owners and Authorised Users); (b) during any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, acts of terror or civil unrest, technical failures beyond our reasonable control (including, without limitation, inability to access the Internet), or acts undertaken by third parties, including without limitation, distributed denial of service attacks; (c) if we suspect or detect any malicious software connected to your account; or (d) if Greenspark suspects any breaches of the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3, including without limitation by Authorised Users, in addition to any other remedies that Greenspark may have at law or equity. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule planned downtime for weekends (Central European Time time zone) and other off-peak hours.
Term and Termination
6.1 Term of agreement
Subject to earlier termination as provided below, our agreement under these Terms is for the Service Term specified in the plan you signed up for.

6.2 Termination rights
In addition to any other remedy, either party may also terminate our agreement under these Terms upon thirty (30) days’ notice. For any material breaches of these Terms, we may terminate our agreement with you with immediate effect. You will pay in full for the Services that you contracted for. Upon any termination, your documents and data will be stored by us for a reasonable amount of time following non-renewal of your subscription so that you can continue where you left off once you choose to re-subscribe, but we do not guarantee that we will store this data forever and will not be held responsible or assume any liability for it’s deletion.
Some of the terms in our agreement will continue to be enforceable, even after termination including, without limitation, the right to be paid, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
6.3 Effect of choosing to cancel your subscription service term
If you choose to cancel your subscriptions, your dashboard will stop updating and we will stop offsetting on your behalf. Your data will be stored by us for a reasonable amount of time following non-renewal of your subscription so that you can continue where you left off once you choose to re-subscribe, but we do not guarantee that we will store this data forever and will not be held responsible or assume any liability for it’s deletion.
