1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Earthmover, Inc. ("Earthmover," "we," "us," or "our"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Oregon, with its principal place of business at 1221 SW 4th Avenue, Suite 100, Portland, OR 97204. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Earthmover website at earthmover.io (the "Website") and any related software platforms, data services, application programming interfaces (APIs), content, and features (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using our Website or Services, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you are using our Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms or if you do not have authority to bind your organization, you must not access or use our Services.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our Website with a revised "Last updated" date and, where required, by sending you an email notification. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

6. Carbon Data Accuracy and Disclaimers

Earthmover's MRV platform uses scientific models, remote sensing data, and field measurements to produce carbon accounting estimates. You acknowledge that:

  • All carbon accounting estimates produced by the Services carry inherent uncertainty, which Earthmover aims to quantify and communicate but cannot eliminate.
  • Carbon market standards, methodologies, and registry requirements are subject to change, and outputs from the Services may need to be updated or recalculated to remain compliant with evolving requirements.
  • Earthmover's Services provide measurement and analytical tools to support your carbon project development; they do not constitute legal, financial, or regulatory advice, and do not guarantee the approval, registration, or issuance of carbon credits by any registry or authority.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Service outputs complies with all applicable carbon market standards, registry requirements, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Earthmover's outputs should be reviewed by qualified professionals before use in formal carbon project submissions, regulatory filings, or financial representations.

7. Fees, Payment, and Subscriptions

Access to certain features of the Services requires payment of fees as described in our pricing plans available on the Website or in a separate written service agreement. Fees are due in advance for subscription services and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable law. We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time with 30 days' notice for existing subscribers. If you disagree with a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

Unpaid fees may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Services. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or other governmental assessments applicable to your purchase of Services, and Earthmover will collect such taxes where required by law.

Your Confidential Information includes Customer Data that is not publicly available. Each party agrees not to disclose the other's Confidential Information to third parties except as necessary to perform obligations under these Terms or as required by law, and to use the other's Confidential Information only for the purposes permitted under these Terms.

9. Warranty Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY. EARTHMOVER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. EARTHMOVER MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN ITS ENTIRETY. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, EARTHMOVER'S WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EARTHMOVER, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF EARTHMOVER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EARTHMOVER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO EARTHMOVER FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED AND EVEN IF EARTHMOVER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Earthmover and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your use of the Services in a manner not authorized by these Terms; (c) the accuracy, completeness, or legality of Customer Data you submit to the Services; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (e) your use of any carbon accounting outputs from the Services in connection with fraudulent, misleading, or illegal claims.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm. The arbitration will be conducted in Portland, Oregon, and the arbitration proceedings will be in English. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You agree to bring any claim against Earthmover in your individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

13. Termination

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. Earthmover may terminate or suspend your access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach any provision of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12) will survive any termination.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any separate written service agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and Earthmover regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Earthmover's failure to enforce any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without Earthmover's prior written consent. Earthmover may freely assign its rights and obligations under these Terms.
