Zopeful is operated by ZOPEFUL CLIMATE LTD (Company No. 14306690), a company registered in England and Wales, with registered offices in London, UK (“ZOPEFUL”, “we” or “us”).

By accessing or using our platforms or websites (“Sites”) or the services at the Sites (“Services”) or making purchases via our Site, you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by these terms (“Terms”).

Use of our Sites and Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy which sets out how we collect, process and use your personal information.

Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use our Sites or Services or before making a purchase. We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms for future reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our Sites or Services or make a purchase.

1. GENERAL

1.1. These Terms were last updated on 12/01/2024.

1.2. By using our Sites and Services, you are agreeing to these Terms and (where applicable) representing that you are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18 years old, your legal guardian should review and agree to these terms.

1.3. ZOPEFUL reserves the right to amend or change these Terms at any time without notice. By using the Sites and Services after any changes have been posted, you agree to any new terms.

1.4. We may suspend, restrict or terminate your account, any contract entered into between us and/or your access to our Sites and Services with or without notice if we believe that you have breached these Terms.

2. TERMS OF PURCHASE

2.1. These terms apply to purchases made through our website or e-commerce platform.

2.2. Your Carbon Removal Purchase

2.2.1. Purchases made through our Site will fund carbon removal activity through our selected carbon removal partners. The carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere progressively, over a period of time. While we do not specify a fixed amount of carbon dioxide to be removed each year, the total amount of carbon dioxide will be removed by the final year indicated to you at the point of purchase. For example, if in January 2024, you purchase a subscription to remove 20 kg of carbon dioxide, the total 20 kg of carbon dioxide will be completely removed by the vintage year for the appropriate carbon removal partners carbon credit. Once the removal process is complete, such carbon dioxide will be permanently removed from the atmosphere.

2.2.2. We will quantify the carbon removal that has occurred each year according to the monitoring and verification process of our partners and notify you of the progress of your carbon removal thanks to your purchase.

2.2.3. We reserve the right to (i) determine the precise timing of the carbon removal based upon availability of carbon removal credits, which may be through multiple partners and in different geographies in order to achieve the carbon removal, and (ii) change the price per kilogram of carbon whilst retaining the agreed subscription amount. In the event that the price of carbon should change, we will use our best endeavours to notify you via email.

2.2.4. We will periodically generate and pool together carbon credits from all our online customers’ purchases and retire those credits collectively on behalf of our customers. This means that you will not own, receive or be allocated carbon credits from your purchase and the carbon removed by your purchase will not constitute verifiable carbon credits that you may sell, trade onwards or use for the purposes of offsetting carbon emissions. We warrant that carbon credits arising from your purchase will not be resold to a third party.

2.2.5. Where you are making a purchase as a consumer (and not a business customer), you agree that purchases made via our Sites may only be made by you in your personal (and not commercial) capacity and may not be used for commercial purposes.

2.3. Making A Purchase, Cancellations & Refunds

2.3.1. No contract for the sale of any product or service will exist between us until we accept your order, which we will do by sending you an order confirmation email.

2.3.2. We accept payment from the payment options shown on our subscription purchase page, including Visa, Mastercard and American Express. We reserve the right to check the accuracy and validity of the payment method used, including its credit status in relation to the order value. We may refuse orders depending on the result of these checks.

2.3.3. All information that you provide when making a purchase must be accurate and up to date, including your name, email address, credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates and any other payment information. You must notify us about any changes to your details, if your payment method is cancelled or if you become aware of a potential breach of security such as the unauthorised disclosure or use of your username or password.

2.3.4. We reserve the right to change the prices of our products or services at any time without prior notice.

2.3.5. If the credit card used to pay is denominated in a currency other than British pounds sterling (GBP), US Dollars (USD) or Euros (EUR), you acknowledge that you may be charged additional administrative and/or currency conversion fees by the applicable bank or service provider, for which you will be responsible.

2.3.6. Where you have made a purchase from our Site as a consumer, you have 7 days after purchase (the “Cancellation Period”) to change your mind and cancel. Following expiry of the Cancellation Period, purchases are non-refundable and there is no right to refunds unless required by law. If you have made a purchase in error or wish to change your mind during the Cancellation Period, you can cancel by emailing us at [email protected] or replying to your purchase confirmation email This clause does not apply to purchases made by business customers.

2.3.7. If you have purchased a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel. You may cancel your subscription at any time using our platform. Cancelling your subscription will take effect at the end of the current subscription period and no future payments will be taken. Should you pause or cancel your subscription, you will cease funding further carbon removal activity on your behalf.

2.3.8. Please allow no less than 14 days for any refund to be processed and sent back to you. Refunds will be made via the original payment method that was used to make the purchase.

2.4. Business customers’ terms

2.4.1. This clause 2.4 applies to any business customer purchases made through our Site.

2.4.2. Our products or services are not available for purchase by businesses which do not align with our ethical framework (as determined by us in our sole discretion).

2.4.3. Where we have accepted your purchase as a business customer, you may use any correspondence we send to you and our trademarks, name and logo (“Our Materials”) to reference your purchase, provided that (i) you agree to comply with any instructions given by us in relation to the use of Our Materials (including any amendment request made by us) and (ii) all use of Our Materials by you complies with the applicable rules and regulations relating to marketing, particularly in relation to green claims.
