3)   WEBSITE SERVICES
Our mission is to help cool down our planet and reverse climate change by reimagining carbon as a commodity and enabling pull-based demand for greenhouse gas credits (aka.CO2e carbon credits). This entails building a consumer-first market place for carbon credits, that will help channel capital towards carbon avoidance and removal solutions. 

The Company offers a Platform enabling you to purchase and allocate the Climes (“Product”/ “Clime”, where 1 kilogram of CO2e = 1 Clime) to various globally certified projects that reduce, remove or avoid carbon emissions (“Supply Partner”), to help the User neutralise its carbon emissions Once a Clime is allocated by you towards a Carbon Project, the same Clime cannot be changed, modified or re-allocated towards a different Project.  

A User can purchase a Clime in two ways:
1.     Directly on the Platform
2.     From the checkout page of a third-party partner (“Clime Partner”). Climes is doing this by making Climes available to Users through API integrations across various touch points i.e.flights, deliveries and events. Consumers will see the carbon footprint of the service or product they are availing (e.g. of the flight ticket they have bought), and be offered the choice to opt-in to neutralising their footprint. 

3. A User may also receive the Climes from the Clime Partner as a part of a promotional activity or purchase that the User may have made. These Climes may be allocated by voting on the Carbon Projects that the Climes Partner has opted for. Further, by voting or allocating these Climes, the User agrees to these Terms and Conditions.
   
   

Auto-Allocation of Climes: Please note that in the event the Climes available in your Account are not allocated by the 15th day of each month, the Climes will then get auto allocated equally amongst the available Carbon Projects. This is to ensure that the Climes available on your Account are utilised consciously and in a manner consistently beneficial to the environment. The rewards that may be available due to such allocation will be available to you on the Rewards page.  

Climes believes sustainable behaviour and choices should be rewarded. Therefore, after choosing which project they want to support, Users can claim rewards based on how many Climes they have allocated. These rewards range from discount vouchers, to early-access to product drops, or specially curated experiences - all from other sustainable brands (“Rewards). These Rewards are facilitated by third-party service providers who host the Rewards on the Platform (“Reward Partner).The aim here is both to incentivise and reward User for choosing to neutralise their footprint, and to enable discovery of and access to more sustainable brands. Please be aware that redemption of a Clime is a one-time activity. The selection of the Reward cannot be modified or revised once it has been claimed.  

The utility of a Clime expires once the respective Carbon Project has been financed.
