Terms and Conditions

This Evaluation Licence contains the terms governing Customer’s access and use of the Service. By using the Service, you agree to these terms on behalf of Customer.

The person accepting this agreement via the click to accept mechanism on behalf of Customer confirms that he or she is authorised to enter into this agreement on Customer's behalf, and to bind Customer to its terms and conditions.

CarbonChain grants Customer a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access and use the Service and Supplementary Material during the Trial Period solely for the purposes of the Objective. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service will, or may, automatically "time out" (that is to say, cease to operate) at the end of the Trial Period if Customer has not at that time accepted a full licence of the Service or has not been offered an extension to their Trial Period.

During the Trial Period this licence may be terminated immediately by CarbonChain giving written notice if Customer is in breach of any of its obligations under this agreement. The licence may be terminated by Customer during the Trial Period upon seven days' written notice or upon acceptance by Customer of a full licence for the Service. Upon termination not followed by a full licence, Customer shall, within two working days, return to CarbonChain all copies of all or part of the Service or Supplementary Material on any tangible medium and shall completely delete all electronic copies of all or any part of the Service and/or the Information resident in the System or elsewhere. Customer will no longer be able to access or use the Service or the Supplementary Material.

Save for matters which may not be limited nor excluded by law, CarbonChain shall have no liability of any kind in any circumstances whatever to Customer in respect of the Service, Supplementary Material or Information. In particular, CarbonChain shall have no liability in any circumstances whatever for meeting regulatory requirements and Customer agrees that it has sole responsibility for protecting its data and complying with regulations applicable to its business during evaluation of the Service.

Save as set out explicitly elsewhere in this agreement, no representations, conditions, warranties or other terms of any kind are given in respect of the Service or the Information, and all statutory warranties and conditions are excluded to the fullest extent possible. The Service and Supplementary Material is provided on an ‘as-is’ basis.

All submission of reports generated by the Service are at Customer’s own risk. Customer should review and approve reports to ensure that they meet its own and regulatory requirements.

In the event that CarbonChain shall be found liable to Customer, the sums payable to Customer in respect of such liability shall not in any circumstances exceed €500.

CarbonChain and its licensors own the Service, Supplementary Material, Information and all related documentation. Customer acknowledges that any disclosure pursuant to this agreement shall not confer on Customer any intellectual property or other rights in relation to the Service, Supplementary Material or the Information other than its right to use under 13.1.

Ownership of all complete or partial copies of the Service, Supplementary Material and Information and related documentation shall at all times remain with CarbonChain or its licensors.

If a third party notifies Customer of any claim that the use of the Service, Supplementary Material or Information infringes any right of a third party, Customer agrees to immediately notify CarbonChain. If any such claim is made to Customer or CarbonChain, Customer shall, at CarbonChain's request, immediately cease use of the Service, Supplementary Material and Information. If CarbonChain is unable to allow Customer to continue evaluation of the Service, the provisions of 13.2 shall apply.

Customer content introduced to the Service during the Trial Period remains the property of Customer, however, Customer grants CarbonChain a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, fully transferrable, worldwide license during the Term and after termination to permit the CarbonChain to maintain, use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, display and publish anonymised Customer content for Carbon Chain’s business purposes, for trend identification, report generation, database creation, diagnostics and support. Customer is responsible for maintaining its own back-ups or copies of any data or content introduced to the Service during the Trial Period. Customer must own or hold valid licences for all content introduced to the Service by Customer.

Customers should only share information, content or data with CarbonChain under this Evaluation Licence that may be included in CarbonChain databases. If Customer seeks a bespoke arrangement on inclusion in CarbonChain databases, a paid-for licence will be required.

All rights not explicitly granted under this licence are reserved.

CarbonChain will act as a data controller for all personal data that is processed on the Service for the duration of the Evaluation Licence. This data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice and Cookies Policy available on our website.

Support is not provided to Customers accessing the Service for evaluation purposes under these licence terms.

No variation of this agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of both parties.

This agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. However, CarbonChain may enforce Customer's obligation of confidence in the courts of any jurisdiction having competence to issue an injunction directly enforceable against Customer.
