4. Allowed Usage

You may view, print or download (for caching purposes only) pages and elements of this website, provided that:

  • it is for personal, non-commercial use and,
  • none of the information, content, structure, functionality, code, branding or applicable notices are removed, altered, adapted or obscured, unless you have specific written consent from Clear.

Press releases from the site may be reproduced for editorial purposes in daily newspapers, general circulation news magazines, trade publications and broadcast media; however written permission is required for any other variation from the Allowed Usage.

5. Calculation of emissions

Clear aims to provide the most representative calculation of emissions available, audited annually by the Quality Assurance Standard (QAS). The factors used in these calculations can and do change over time. Clear will therefore not accept any altered liability due to subsequent changes in Clear’s method of calculation after the offset transaction date. Clear is also not responsible for the accuracy of the information that is entered into our calculation engines, on which our emissions calculation is based.

6. Carbon offsets

Clear undertakes to purchase and retire sufficient emissions reduction certificates to offset the stated amount of emissions through an official registry. The purchase and retirement of these certificates are voluntary and cannot be used for compliance purposes. The timing of each retirement is optimised by Clear’s trading strategy, which utilises financial risk management techniques to balance efficiency and economy for Clear’s customers. However the interval between offset purchase and retirement of the corresponding certificates shall not in any case exceed fifteen months as mandated by the QAS, who audit annually to ensure compliance.

Clear will refund any purchase on the site provided that we are notified by 5pm on the 3rd day following the purchase in the time zone it was made. Clear will only issue refunds beyond this time frame at our own discretion and in exceptional circumstances.

Anyone purchasing carbon offsets from Clear give their implicit to receive an invitation by email to review their order after it is made.

Some areas of the Clear site require user registration and secure login using a username and password. These restrictions may vary over time. Clear does not accept responsibility for the security of user registration details, or for the activities that occur under them, so please take care to keep your password confidential.
