CONTRACT CONDITIONS
 
 

1. Condition Acceptance


The present conditions govern the contract relations between CO2logic and its Client. The Client acknowledges having read, at the moment of signing the contract, the conditions below and declares to have accepted them unconditionally. The Client can print out these conditions or request them per e-mail by clicking HERE .
 
The present conditions prevail over all other conditions appearing in any other document except under special written provision signed by the two parties.
 
Without prejudice of Article 8, the accomplishment of the ordering process described in Article 3 of the present conditions is a contractual commitment on the part of the Client. CO2logic is only effectually committed vis-à-vis the Client once a confirmation of acceptance by CO2logic of the Client’s order has been sent after validating the actual payment of the order by the electronic payment service provider. 
 

2. Service Offered by CO2logic

CO2logic is a Belgian law firm organised in the form of S.P.R.L. (private company with limited responsibility – translator’s note). It is registered at the Crossroads Bank of Enterprises under number 886.147.359 and has its headquarters at 30 Robert Thoreau St, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre.
 
In collaboration with its partners, CO2logic provides a service for compensation of the CO2 emissions to persons who are concerned about the preservation of the environment and are interested in sustainable development and particularly in the reduction of greenhouse gases. To this effect, CO2logic selects projects whose effect is to reduce greenhouse gases and invests in them regularly by means of funds received from its clients.
 
The projects in which CO2logic invests are selected by CO2logic at different locations around the world. On this site, the Client can learn about the nature of the various projects. However, CO2logic reserves its right to invest in other projects of similar nature. The information regarding the projects presented on this site is purely for informational purposes; other projects can be selected instead of or in addition to those mentioned on this site. Under this assumption, CO2logic does not have to give advance notice to its clients.
 
CO2logic’s investments are implemented "en bloc"; CO2logic reserves a period of a maximum of 12 months to determine the destination of the funds of its clients.
 
It is not possible to «trace» a payment in order to know the exact destination of the invested funds. CO2logic guarantees that the sums paid by its clients in execution of the Contract are invested in the partner projects in the period of 12 months following the payment by the client and after deducting the expenses borne by CO2logic. The discounts for on-line purchases are of the type defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol.
 
Under the assumption that due to unexpected influx of orders, CO2logic’s regular partners are not able to respond favourably to CO2logic ‘s investment proposals  and if CO2logic cannot find new projects corresponding to the qualitative selection criteria, then CO2logic will reimburse the Client the full amount of the funds paid by the Client in execution of the present Contract. Insofar as this happens in the course of the 12 months after the placement of the order, this reimbursement will be effected without any interest or indemnities of any kind.
 
We advise the enterprises and all persons emitting greenhouse gases in the course of exercising their profession not to use the calculator on this site but to contact us  directly (by sending a mail to info@co2logic.com) for a study and a personalised offer.

3. Process of Placing an Order 
 
The client’s emissions are calculated by means of the calculator on the co2logic.com and co2logic.be sites.
 
Every step of the calculation is done consecutively by clicking on the icon «Calculate my Emissions». With the last click on «Total of my CO2 Emissions», the Client commits itself to the contract without prejudice of the right to revocation provided in Article 8 of the present Conditions. Before this step, the Client who desires to modify a component of its order can delete at any time the data entered in the calculator by clicking on the red cross located next to the data that needs to be modified. The various data related to the Client’s production of CO2, for instance «The emissions of my car», «My airplane travels» and «The emissions in my residence», remain in the memory and are added up. We invite the Client to verify carefully, before committing to the order, the information entered on the last page “Total of my CO2 emissions" and to modify or delete the data pertaining to the emissions the Client does not want to compensate. 
 

4. Confirmation
 
The client receives an e-mail confirmation of the order.
 
This confirmation includes:

- The number of the certificate of confirmation
- The date of submission of the order
- The address of the Client
- The details of the order, including the total price of the order, with TVA included
- The contact information of CO2logic
- The modalities of exercising the right of revocation provided in Article 8 of the present Conditions.

CO2logic reserves the right to suspend or refuse the confirmation of the order in the following cases:

- The order is incomplete or incorrect
- The communication of the data is obviously erroneous
- Non-payment of a previous order
- Refusal of authorisation of the banker’s order by the Client’s financial institution
- Absence of confirmation of the payment effected through "home banking".
 
 
5. Personal Data

The personal information requested in the framework of concluding the contract for compensation of the greenhouse gases is necessary for the purpose of processing the orders and the preparation of the invoices. This communication is necessary for validation of the order.   
 
Unless the client objects, CO2logic reserves the right to communicate the client’s personal data to enterprises or associations that are active in the environmental sector.
 
In accordance with the Law, from December 8, 1992, every person whose personal data is processed by CO2logic can request, without any fees, to access the above-mentioned data and, if necessary, to request its suppression, modification or correction. 

6. Price of the Compensation and Modes of Payment


The price to be paid by the Client in execution of the Contract is in Euros. It is stipulated on the page entitled «Total of your CO2 Emissions». It is final and includes all taxes, including the TVA for Belgium.
 
In virtue of the TVA Code, CO2logic is exempt from establishing an invoice for the services it provides to the consumers in execution of the present contract. As indicated in Article 3, the enterprises or persons emitting greenhouse gases in the process of exercising their professional activity are invited to contact CO2logic for a personalised offer. If you are a consumer and yet you are in a particular situation in which the legislation requires sending an invoice, we kindly ask you to request it from us per e-mail.
 
The price billed to the client is payable in cash on the day of the order. The payment is effected by credit card (Visa, American Express or MasterCard) or through "home banking". In the latter case, authorisation will be requested from your financial institution at the moment of the order. The order will be considered in effect only after the payment has been approved by Ogone. In the case of refusal by Ogone, the order will be cancelled automatically and the client will be advised per e-mail.
 
In no case is CO2logic responsible for any damages connected with the use of the on-line methods of payment.

The offers and the prices are valid on the day of consultation of the CO2logic site; they can be modified at any moment with the understanding that these modifications will have no effect on the obligations of the parties related to the previous orders. 


7. Proof


It is agreed upon that the computerised logs, which are stored in the systems of CO2logic and are a host or a partner of the payment, constitute proof of the communications, the contents of the orders and the totality of the transactions between the parties. 

8. Revocation
 
In accordance with the Belgian Law from July 14, 1991 on commercial practices and consumer protection, the Client acting as consumer in the sense of Article 1, item 7, of the aforesaid Law has 7 workdays from the day after the date of placing the order to eventually notify CO2logic about the revocation of its purchase.
 
This notification should be made in accordance with Article 11 hereinafter.
 
In the case of exercising the right of revocation, CO2logic will reimburse the client the whole sum of the disbursed amounts without any charges. The reimbursement is to be made in a period of 30 days maximum as long as the client has duly communicated the bank information permitting CO2logic to proceed with the reimbursement.
