None of the tokens issued in the Solid World ecosystem directly constitute ‘carbon credits’ and do not confer any direct right to make environmental claims to the token holders. No such claims should be made based on holding the tokens or even ‘burning’ them on the blockchain. Environmental benefits may be claimed only by exercising such rights with carbon credits originating from the relevant registry (ie an operational and secure electronic system approved, authorised or recognised by a Carbon Standard Body (eg Verra, Gold Standard) that allows for, among other things, the issuance, holding, cancelling or transferring of carbon credits in accordance with the rules of the Carbon Standard). The tokens offered by Solid World do not constitute ‘tokenized carbon credits’.
The User has the following rights and obligations in relation to token types in the Solid World ecosystem.

Some of the materials published by Solid World as open-source content on Solid World Sites or other public venues (Solid World Open-source Content) may include code which enables the users of such code to perform actions and provide services around crypto assets in a way where the rendering of those services requires one or multiple operating licences or regulated activity licences or authorizations in one or more jurisdictions in order to operate legally. Solid World strongly advises any potential users of the Solid World Open-source Content to seek legal, regulatory and tax advice before deploying or using any of them in providing relevant services, production or for testing purposes.
The User acknowledges and agrees that the Solid World Open-source Content is provided ‘as is’, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. In no event shall Solid World or the authors of the Solid World Open-source Content be liable for any claim, damage or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with the Solid World Open-source Content or the use of or other dealings in the Solid World Open-source Content.

The Solid World Sites may contain links to websites and other materials made available by third parties (collectively, Third Party Content). If the User uses such functionality, the User is directing Solid World or its affiliate to access, route and transmit to the User the applicable Third Party Content.

Nothing in the User’s use of the Solid World Sites or these Website Terms & Conditions grants the User any right, title or interest in or to this Third Party Content except for the limited right to use the Solid World Sites as set out in these Website Terms & Conditions.
Solid World or its affiliates neither control nor endorse, nor are responsible for, any Third Party Content and Solid World makes no representations or warranties with respect to them.

Solid World reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the User, and the User is not entitled in any event settle any matter without the written consent of Solid World.

Notices posted on Solid World Sites will be effective upon 8 of 2 posting. Notices given by email will be effective once the email has been sent.

Solid World may provide disclosures and notices required by law and other information to Users electronically by posting it on any of the Solid World Sites or send it to the email address that the User has given to Solid World. Electronic disclosures and notices have the same meaning and effect as if Solid World had provided the User with hard copies thereof.

12.6 Feedback

Solid World has not agreed to and does not agree to treat as confidential any Feedback (as defined below) that the User gives Solid World, and nothing in these Website Terms & Conditions or in the parties’ dealings arising out of or related to the Solid World Sites will restrict Solid World’s right to use, profit from, disclose, publish, keep secret, or otherwise exploit Feedback, without compensating or crediting the User.

Some jurisdictions prohibit the disclaimer of certain warranties or conditions or the limitation of certain types of liability. In such circumstances, to the extent that such prohibitions prohibit any exclusions and limitations in these Website Terms & Conditions, such exclusions and limitations will not apply to the User strictly to the extent necessary to make these Website Terms & Conditions consistent with such prohibitions.

12.8 Force Majeure

Solid World and its affiliates are not liable for any failure or delay in performance of an obligation under any of the Website Terms & Conditions where the failure or delay results from any cause beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, labour disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical or power outages, utilities or other telecommunications failures, earthquakes, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism or war. Force Majeure events include upgrades to the validation rules of a given blockchain network (eg a ‘hard fork’ or ‘soft fork’).

12.12 Disputes

All disputes, disagreements and claims arising from or in connection with the Website Terms & Conditions or relating in any way to the User’s use of any of Solid World Site or Solid World services, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to any of the Website Terms & Conditions, are solved amicably by way of negotiations between the parties. Failing agreement, the dispute, disagreement, or claim is resolved by the Arbitration Court of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in accordance with its rules. The arbitral tribunal is composed of three arbitrators. The seat of arbitration is Tallinn, Estonia. The language of the arbitral proceedings is English.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Solid World and the User agree that Solid World may bring suit in any court of law to enjoin infringement or other violations or misuses of Solid World’s intellectual property rights.
Any disputes that may arise beyond the scope of the arbitration provision will be exclusively resolved in Harju District Court in Tallinn, Estonia, as the court of first instance. The User and Solid World consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. The User hereby waives any objection which they may have at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings as specified above, waives any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such proceedings, that the arbitral tribunal specified above does not have any jurisdiction over the User.
To the extent permissible by law, all claims must be brought in a party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective action, or representative proceeding (collectively, ‘class action’). The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or engage in any class action. The User acknowledges that, by agreeing to the Website Terms & Conditions, each party waives the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action.
