We reserve the right at our sole discretion to amend the Terms at any time without incurring any obligation to notify you about such change.

USING OUR APP
Account and Wallet Set-Up
To use the App, you must first install a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox among others). You will also need to use a supported electronic wallet, which will enable you to purchase and store digital assets that you collect or purchase via the App. Each collectible is a Non-Fungible Token (a “NFT”) on the Flow™ blockchain network (the “Flow Network”).
Account Registration
You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the App. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update your account information as necessary for it to remain as so. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames without incurring any liability or responsibility towards any user or otherwise any third party.
Account Security
You are responsible for the security of your account for the App and your electronic wallets. If you become aware of any unauthorized access or use of your password or your account, you agree to notify us immediately at info@carbonhive.io. Any unauthorized access to your account by third parties could result in the loss or theft of Impact NFTs and/or funds held in your account and any associated accounts, including your linked bank account(s) and credit card(s). You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the security of your account, your password and all underlying actions made under your account and we will not be held responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your account. You further understand and agree that we are not responsible (and you will not hold us responsible) for any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You are responsible for monitoring your account. If you notice any unauthorized or suspicious activity in your account, please notify us immediately.
Account Transactions
You can use your electronic wallet to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using your credit card, or via one or more cryptocurrencies that we may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the App are managed and confirmed via the Flow Network. You understand that your Flow Network public address will be made publicly available whenever you engage in a transaction on the App.
Account Suspension
You agree that CarbonHive has the right to immediately suspend your account, pause or cancel your access to the services it offers, or even deactivate your account if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that (i) your account is being used for money laundering or any illegal activity; (ii) you have concealed or provided false identification information or other data; (iii) you have engaged in any fraudulent activity; or (iv) you have engaged in transactions in violation of these Terms.
PURCHASING AND EARNING YOUR NFTs
Acquiring Impact NFTs
The App allows you to purchase, earn, collect and showcase NFTs. Each NFT is on the Flow Network. There are different types of Impact NFTs available for purchase on the App. Each type of Impact NFT will be reported and outlined in the listing. The original lister reserves the right to modify the type, price and number of NFTs available at his or her discretion. When listing is completed on behalf or in order to raise funds for a type of NFT, then CarbonHive will set up adequate and reliable arrangements to ensure that all funds received by CarbonHive (after deduction of our platform fees, bank processing charges, transaction fees, and applicable sales taxes), are effectively being paid out to the underlying cause.
Purchasing Impact NFTs From the Original Funding Round
Purchasing from an original funding round means you are acquiring digital asset(s) which are newly minted on the FLOW blockchain. The original funding round is listed by, or on behalf, or for, social and/or climate cause(s) and/or to reward ecological stewardship.
Purchasing Impact NFTs From the Marketplace
We may create a supplemental marketplace in the future, where you will be able to buy Impact NFTs from other users in the App’s marketplace or sell Impact NFTs you’ve acquired (the “Marketplace”). Please note that fees will be applied for this feature, such as platform fees, payment processing fees, and royalties to the original lister. We strongly discourage purchase of Impact NFTs other than in our listings or on the Marketplace (in the event we create a Marketplace). If you decide to purchase an Impact NFTs in any other way, you acknowledge and agree that such purchases will be entirely at your sole risk.
Earning Impact NFTs
You can earn Impact NFTs at no cost to you, by participating in certain challenges or marketing campaigns on the App, or even by completing certain in-App tasks that we may make generally available to our users from time to time.
Characteristics of Impact NFTs
Each Impact NFT has a defined set of attributes that will be delineated under each listing.
Showcasing Impact NFTs
The “Showcase” feature of the App means your Impact NFTs will be made public on your profile page, making them available for public view.
Trading Fees
By buying or selling a NFT on CarbonHive, you agree to pay all applicable fees when acting in a buyer capacity and you authorize CarbonHive to automatically deduct fees directly from your payment when acting in a seller capacity. The fees that you may incur when purchasing and/or selling through the APP are indicated on the APP . and are subject to revisions from time to time at our sole discretion.
PAYMENT; GAS FEES AND TAXES
Financial Transactions on App
Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the App will be conducted through Stripe Inc. and the Flow Network. We have no control over these payments and transactions gateways, nor do we have the ability to reverse any such payments and transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims and damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the App, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the Flow Network. We do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the App.
Gas Fees
Every transaction on the Flow Network requires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Flow Network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the App. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the App.
Responsibility for Taxes
CarbonHive is not responsible for determining applicable withholding, sales, use, value added, transfer or other taxes, together with any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto (“Taxes”), that apply to your NFT transactions. You agree that you are solely responsible for determining which, if any, Taxes apply to your Impact NFT transactions and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Unless otherwise indicated on an applicable invoice, any amounts due in respect of a NFT transaction are exclusive of sale, use, value added or similar Taxes (“Sales Taxes”) which shall be under your responsibility to settle. Any payments with respect to your NFT transactions shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. In the event applicable laws and regulations require the deduction or withholding of any Tax (a “Withholding Tax”) from any such payment, then the sum payable by you shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made the amount received is equal to the sum that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Upon our request, you agree to promptly provide a properly executed tax form that is reasonably required by us so to comply with our tax reporting obligations.
OWNERSHIP; LICENSE AND OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS
YOUR OWNERSHIP OF IMPACT NFTS WILL ONLY BE RECOGNIZED BY US IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE RIGHTFULLY ACQUIRED SUCH IMPACT NFTS FROM A LEGITIMATE SOURCE AND NOT THROUGH ANY OF THE CATEGORY B PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES (AS DEFINED BELOW).
For the purposes of this Section, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
“Art” means any art, design, formula, and drawings (in any form or media, including, without limitation, video or photographs) that may be associated with an Impact NFT that you Own.
“Own” means, with respect to an Impact NFT, an Impact NFT that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities (as defined below)), where proof of such purchase is recorded on the Flow Network.
“Purchased Impact NFT” means an Impact NFT that you Own.
“Third Party IP” means any third-party patent rights (including, without limitation, patent applications and disclosures), copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights (including moral rights and derivative rights) recognized in any country or jurisdiction.
Ownership of Impact NFT
When you purchase an Impact NFT in accordance with these Terms (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), you own the underlying Impact NFT, as each Impact NFT is an NFT on the Flow Network. If we create a Marketplace, this means that you have the right to swap your NFT, sell it, or give it away – in which ownership of the Impact NFT will be mediated entirely by the Flow Network. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms, in cases where we determine that the Impact NFT has not been rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (including, without limitation, through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), at no point will we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Impact NFT.
We Own the App
You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the App, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all Art, designs, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the App (collectively, the “App Materials”)). You acknowledge that the App Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws.

Further User Ownership Acknowledgements
For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree: (i) that your purchase of an Impact NFT, whether via the App or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the App Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art) other than those expressly contained in these Terms; (ii) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the App Materials (including, without limitation, any Art) without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion; and (iii) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any of our trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion.
User Feedback
You may choose to submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the App, including without limitation input about how to improve the App (collectively, “Feedback”).

ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Value and Volatility
Collectible blockchain assets have no inherent or intrinsic value and related prices are extremely volatile and subjective. While we plan no Marketplace in the short term, fluctuations in price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Impact NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each Impact NFT has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any Impact NFTs purchased will retain their original value, as the value of collectibles is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the CarbonHive ecosystem may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Impact NFT.
Tax Calculations
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your NFT-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App.
Use of Blockchain
The App does not store, send, or receive Impact NFTs. This is because Impact NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain in the Flow network. Any transfer of Impact NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Flow network, and not on the App.
Inherent Risks with Internet Currency
There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your electronic wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Flow Network, however caused
Regulatory Uncertainty
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the CarbonHive ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Impact NFTs.
Software Risks
Upgrades to the Flow Network, a hard fork in the Flow Network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Flow Network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Flow Network’s NFT standard, including the CarbonHive ecosystem.
DEMNIFICATION
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, licensors, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost and attorneys' fees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your use or misuse of the App; or (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the App. You agree that we will have control of the defense or settlement of any such claims.
EXTERNAL SITES
The App may include hyperlinks to other websites or resources (collectively, the "External Sites"), which are provided solely as a convenience to our users. We have no control over any External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of any External Sites, and that we do not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or made available from or through any External Sites. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of the availability or unavailability of the External Sites, or as a result of any reliance placed by you upon the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or made available from, any External Sites.
FORCE MAJEURE
Force Majeure Events
We will not be liable or responsible to the you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of these Terms, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from the following (but not limited to) force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, including the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), tsunami, explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) government order, law, or action; (v) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this agreement; (vi) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (vii) shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown or shortage of adequate power or electricity; and (viii) other similar events beyond our control.
Performance During Force Majeure Events
If we suffer a Force Majeure Event, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of the Force Majeure Event, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this Section, we may thereafter terminate these Terms upon fifteen (15) days' written notice.
CHANGES TO THE APP
We are constantly innovating the App to help provide the best possible experience. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the App, and any part of it, may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and that we may add new features and change any part of the App at any time without notice.
CHILDREN
You hereby confirm that you are over the age of 18. The App is not intended for children under 18. If you are under the age of 18, you may not use the App. We do not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our content specifically to children under the age of 18. If we learn or have reason to suspect that you are a user who is under the age of 18, we will unfortunately have to close your account. Other countries may have different minimum age limits, and if you are below the minimum age for providing consent for data collection in your country, you may not use the App.
PRIVACY POLICY
Our Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, use, store and disclose your personal information, and is hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms. You agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION
YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
