1. General Services

1.1. Service Overview: Certified Carbon Ltd provides the following primary services:

• Carbon Footprint Application (SME Route): An automated, spend-based carbon footprint analysis tool that integrates with third-party platforms, including Xero and Google, to pull financial and identity data for emissions reporting and target setting.

• Carbon Offset Sales: The sale of voluntary carbon credits (“VCCs”) relating to underlying carbon credits (“UCCs”) sourced from third parties.

• Certified Carbon Registry: A public registry of companies that have reported their carbon footprint, reduction actions, or offsets.

1.2. Carbon Offset Specifics:

• Retiring: UCCs are retired on behalf of the purchaser. UCCs may be retired by the Company prior to VCC allocation.

• No Claim to Underlying Credits: Buyers of VCCs acknowledge they have no claim to the underlying carbon credit (UCC), which remains the property of the Company or its affiliates.

• Uncertainty: The Company cannot guarantee that VCCs will always deliver intended carbon savings due to inherent project uncertainties.

• Non-transferable: Buyers may not transfer or sell VCCs to any third party.
