EVERTREEN – GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
1. DEFINITIONS
"Evertreen" or "Company" means CG GREEN SOLUTIONS LTD, a company incorporated in England & Wales (Company Nº 12581125) whose registered office is Profile West, Suite 2, Floor 1, 950 Great West Road, Brentford, TW8 9ES, United Kingdom. "Client", "you", or "your" means the natural or legal person purchasing any Service on the Website. "Service" means the intermediation service whereby Evertreen channels Client funds to treeplanting, forestrestoration and/or carbonremoval projects and provides ancillary digital deliverables. "Website" means https://www.evertreen.com. "Subscription Plan" means any Service purchased on a recurring basis (daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual). "Transaction Basis" means the metric expressly selected by the Client at checkout—either the estimated number of Trees or the estimated metric tonnes (tCO₂e) of carbon footprint addressed. "Project Operator" means any thirdparty entity that owns or manages an eligible landuse or carbon project funded (in whole or in part) through Evertreen. "Digital Signature" means the immutable electronic evidence (timestamp, IP address, device fingerprint, and acceptance log) generated at the moment the Client ticks the acceptance box on the Website.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICE
2.1 Evertreen acts exclusively as an independent intermediary between Clients and Project Operators. The Client acquires no ownership, leasehold, security interest, profit à prendre, or other realproperty right over any land, tree, biomass, or environmental attribute. 2.2 Projects may fall under, without limitation, the following typologies:
- Afforestation, Reforestation & Revegetation (ARR);
- Improved Forest Management (IFM);
- Reduced Emissions from Deforestation & Degradation (REDD+);
- Agricultural Land Management (ALM) (e.g., conservation tillage, rotational grazing, biochar);
- Wetlands Restoration & Conservation (WRC);
- Avoided Conversion of Grasslands & Shrublands (ACoGS).
2.3 Evertreen may source financing for Projects that are (a) internally monitored by the Company or (b) externally verified under recognised carbon standards (including but not limited to Verra, Gold Standard, and the Core CBL market). The mix of internally and externally verified Projects utilised for a given Client contribution is determined solely at Evertreen’s discretion.
3. TRANSACTION BASIS & ENVIRONMENTAL ESTIMATES
3.1 At checkout the Client may elect to express its contribution per Tree or per tCO₂e. 3.2 All Tree counts and carbonremoval estimates are calculated in good faith using the best available scientific data, speciesspecific allometric equations, conservative baselines, and discount factors for leakage and permanence. Estimates are indicative only and do not constitute a warranty of exact sequestration. 3.3 Except where a Project has been issued thirdparty verified carbon credits that are permanently retired for the Client’s benefit, the Service does not confer a tradable or transferable carbon credit or security. 3.4 The Client acknowledges that variations arising from forcemajeure events, biological growth rates, methodological updates, forcefits to registry requirements, or regulatory changes shall not be construed as a breach of contract.
4. ALLOCATION OF FUNDS & COUNTRY PREFERENCE
4.1 During the ordering process the Client may express a preferred country. Such choice is nonbinding. 4.2 Evertreen reserves the absolute right, at any time and without prior notice, to reallocate all or part of the Client’s contribution to a Project in another jurisdiction, provided that the alternative Project delivers, in Evertreen’s reasonable judgement, environmental equivalence (same or higher estimated tCO₂e). 4.3 Reallocation for reasons of operational efficiency, seasonal constraints, phytosanitary risk, local regulatory change, or credit availability shall not entitle the Client to a refund, discount, or compensation.
5. REPORTING & EVIDENCE
5.1 Evertreen may, at its sole discretion and without creating a binding obligation, provide Clients with one or more of the following deliverables: satellite or drone imagery, GPS coordinates, growthprogress videos, Project Operator statements, thirdparty certificates, and periodic carbonstock monitoring reports. 5.2 All data and imagery are supplied “as is”. Evertreen disclaims all warranties (express or implied) as to accuracy, sufficiency, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, title, and noninfringement.
6. PRICE, COMMISSION & PAYMENT
6.1 Prices are displayed in GBP (£), USD (US$), EUR (€), and CAD (C$). Evertreen may update prices at any time prior to purchase confirmation. 6.2 The Client authorises Evertreen to deduct from each contribution an administrative commission and to apply the net balance toward eligible Project costs, platform upkeep, monitoring, reporting, and contingencies. The exact commission percentage is commercially confidential and need not be disclosed. 6.3 Payment is accepted through approved thirdparty processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). The Client agrees to their separate terms. 6.4 For Subscription Plans, the selected payment method will be charged automatically on the renewal date unless the Plan is cancelled at least seven (7) days prior.
7. CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & CHARGEBACKS
7.1 Because Services commence immediately upon payment, no statutory coolingoff period applies. 7.2 Subscription Plans may be paused or cancelled at any time via the Client dashboard; however, any cancellation submitted within seven (7) days of the next renewal will take effect after that renewal. 7.3 All payments are final. The Client irrevocably waives the right to refunds, chargebacks, or payment disputes once a transaction (initial or renewal) is processed. Evertreen will submit the Digital Signature and other evidence to dispute any claim of unauthorised or unrecognised charge.
8. DIGITAL SIGNATURE & ELECTRONIC RECORDS
8.1 By clicking the acceptance checkbox on the Website, the Client electronically signs these Terms. The Digital Signature forms an integral part of the contractual documentation and is admissible as conclusive proof of consent. 8.2 The Client consents to receive all communications, receipts, and records in electronic form and waives any requirement for paper copies.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & BRAND USE
9.1 Evertreen grants Clients a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, royaltyfree, worldwide licence to reproduce Evertreen trade marks, project images, and marketing materials solely for the purpose of communicating their participation in the Service. 9.2 Misrepresentation of environmental impact, unauthorised modification of assets, or use in any unlawful, misleading, or defamatory context will result in immediate revocation of the licence.
10. DATA PROTECTION
