1. Scope, target groups, definitions
1.1 These GTC apply to all contracts concluded via our online shop (brand “Fund The Planet”) between you and Green Token GmbH for digital subscriptions, digital memberships, digital content, and SaaS access.
1.2 “Consumer” means any natural person who enters into the contract for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed professional. “Business customer” (entrepreneur) means a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity acting in the exercise of its commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding the contract.
1.3 These GTC are divided into two parts: Part A applies to consumers and business customers (common rules). Part B contains additional rules only for business customers (B2B). In case of conflicts, Part B applies additionally for business customers; for consumers, only Part A applies.
1.4 Our offers are addressed exclusively to persons who are at least 18 years old. By concluding a contract, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
1.5 We provide services worldwide, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules of the country in which a consumer has their habitual residence (see also clause 16).
Part A – Rules for consumers and business customers
2. Subject matter of the contract (digital membership / SaaS / content)
2.1 The subject matter of the contract is a digital membership including access to digital content and/or SaaS functions (“Service”) as described in the online shop at the time of purchase.
2.2 Key elements of the membership may, depending on the specific offer purchased, include in particular:
(1) Nature protection service: Protection of the nature area allocated to the customer for 100 years from the allocation of the individual area(s), within the framework of our protection concept and our capabilities as provider/land owner or party responsible for protection.
(2) Grant/assignment of rights (CO₂/ecosystem rights): To the extent transferable, legally permissible, and actually available: exclusive, non-transferable granting or assignment of those rights/claims/allocations relating to CO₂ attributes and other environmental/ecosystem service attributes (in particular land/forest/forestry, air, water, nature, flora, fauna, fungus, and ecosystem service attributes) that we can transfer without thereby making the nature protection service—currently or in the future—more difficult, restricting it, or jeopardizing success. Rights are not transferred if the customer could currently or in the future exercise them in a way that would impair nature protection or our obligations towards the customer or other customers.
2.3 Clarification: The membership does not confer any ownership rights to land/areas and does not grant any permission to intervene in nature/the area. Any “CO₂/ecosystem rights”, to the extent granted, are contractually defined allocations/rights within the scope of clause 2.2; tradability/registration in external registries is only owed if this is expressly part of the purchased offer.
3. Availability / “while supplies last”
3.1 Services that include allocation of nature areas or quotas are available only while supplies last. If a quota is exhausted, we may refuse new contracts or upgrades for that quota or offer alternatives.
3.2 Already contractually promised allocations/services remain unaffected.
4. Contract conclusion in the online shop
4.1 The presentation of offers in the online shop is a non-binding invitation to place an order.
4.2 By clicking the button “place order with obligation to pay” (or equivalent), you submit a binding offer. The contract is concluded when we accept the order by email confirmation or provide you with access/the service.
5. Start of service, access, customer account
5.1 Unless otherwise stated in the offer, the service starts immediately after purchase.
5.2 For certain additional services, activation/creation of a customer account is required. Please ensure that your registration details are truthful and kept up to date.
5.3 Access credentials must be kept confidential. Account sharing and sharing access credentials are not permitted.
6. Usage rules, misuse, suspension
6.1 The following are prohibited in particular: circumventing technical protection/security measures; automated extraction/scraping, system overload, reverse engineering (to the extent not permitted by law); transfer/sublicensing of access; any use that endangers the integrity of our systems or our nature protection service.
6.2 If misuse is suspected, we may take appropriate measures, including temporary suspension or, in the case of serious violations, immediate suspension. Further rights under clause 13 remain unaffected.
7. Prices, billing, payment terms
7.1 The prices and scope of services shown in the online shop at the time of purchase apply. All prices are gross prices incl. VAT, insofar as VAT is applicable.
7.2 Subscriptions are billed in advance per billing period, unless otherwise stated in the offer.
7.3 Available payment methods and any payment service providers used are shown in the checkout.
7.4 We provide invoices by email.
7.5 If a payment fails, we may attempt retries and—after appropriate notice—temporarily suspend services and/or terminate the contract extraordinarily, provided the requirements under clause 13 are met.
8. Term, cancellation, pause, plan changes
8.1 Contracts run for an indefinite term, unless otherwise stated in the offer.
8.2 You may cancel at any time. Unless otherwise stated in the offer, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
8.3 Cancellation is possible via the cancellation button on our website and/or by email to contact@fundtheplanet.net (at least with order data/account email so we can identify the contract).
8.4 Upgrades/downgrades are possible and take effect at the next billing period change, unless otherwise stated in the offer.
8.5 A pause option may be offered (details as described in the online shop/customer account).
9. Changes to the service, updates (digital products)
9.1 We may further develop or modify the service if this is necessary for valid reasons (e.g., security, legal requirements, technical adjustments, further development), is reasonable for you, and does not devalue the agreed main service.
9.2 Where legally required, we will provide necessary updates. You are obliged to install reasonable updates if technically provided.
10. Price changes
10.1 If statutory VAT changes, the gross prices change accordingly in the same proportion without requiring separate consent.
10.2 Any other changes to the subscription price (in particular price increases) require your explicit consent. We will inform you in text form (e.g., by email) at least 1 month before the intended effective date and provide an easy way to give consent (e.g., via link or in the customer account).
10.3 If you do not give consent, your subscription continues on the previous terms. In that case, we are entitled to terminate the subscription with 1 month’s notice to the end of the current billing period; such termination is not retroactive.
11. Withdrawal (cancellation right) / return (uniform for consumers and business customers)
11.1 Consumers have the statutory right of withdrawal as set out in Appendix 1; we voluntarily extend the withdrawal period to 30 days (Appendix 1).
11.2 We voluntarily grant business customers a right of withdrawal that corresponds in scope and period to the consumers’ withdrawal right (Appendix 1), unless otherwise agreed individually.
11.3 The right of withdrawal does not expire early under any circumstances, even if the service begins immediately.
12. Defects / warranty rights (digital)
12.1 Statutory defect and warranty rights apply to digital products/services, insofar as applicable.
12.2 Please describe defects as precisely as possible and support us reasonably in troubleshooting.
13. Extraordinary termination / suspension for good cause
13.1 We may terminate the contract for good cause without notice, in particular if the customer is in significant payment default despite reminder/deadline; the customer seriously violates clause 5.3 or 6; the customer takes actions that endanger the nature protection service or our obligations towards the customer or other customers.
13.2 In case of serious violations, we may suspend services immediately.
14. Liability
14.1 We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body, or health.
14.2 In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of material contractual duties (cardinal duties), limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.
14.3 Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.
15. Data protection
15.1 Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our privacy policy in the online shop.
16. Final provisions, language, choice of law
16.1 German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of their habitual residence.
16.2 Contract languages are German and English. In case of doubt, the German version shall prevail.
16.3 If any provision of these GTC is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective.
17. Consumer dispute resolution (notice under Section 36 VSBG)
17.1 We are willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer conciliation body.
17.2 The competent body is the Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes at Zentrum für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, Germany; website: www.universalschlichtungsstelle.de
Part B – Additional rules only for business customers (B2B)
B1. Place of jurisdiction
B1.1 If the customer is a business customer, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contract—where legally permissible—is Munich.
B2. Voluntary right of withdrawal for business customers
B2.1 We may exclude the voluntary right of withdrawal granted in clause 11.2 for the future in case of misuse (e.g., systematic short-term use/withdrawal at high frequency); rights already accrued remain unaffected.
