6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our IP

The Services, including all software, algorithms, methodologies, design, text, graphics, and datasets (excluding your data) are owned by or licensed to Aretia Climate and are protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.

You retain ownership of all data, content, and materials you upload to the platform (“Your Data”). You grant us a limited licence to process Your Data solely to provide and improve the Services.

Reports, analyses, and other outputs generated from Your Data are owned by you. We retain ownership of the underlying methodologies and software used to generate them.

If you submit suggestions or feedback about the Services, you grant us an irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback in any manner without any obligation to you.

7. Your Data and Privacy

7.1 Data Ownership

You own Your Data. We act as a data processor in relation to personal data you upload, and as a data controller in relation to your account information.

7.2 Privacy

Our Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data. It forms part of these Terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Notice on matters of data protection, the Privacy Notice prevails.

7.3 Data Processing Agreement

Where you upload personal data of third parties (for example, employee data for supply chain emissions calculations), you act as the data controller and we act as your data processor. By using the Services in this way, you agree to the data processing terms set out in our standard Data Processing Agreement, available on request at legal@aretiaclimate.com.

7.4 Aggregated Data

We may use anonymised, aggregated data derived from your use of the platform to improve the Services and for industry benchmarking. This data will not identify you or your organisation.

7.5 Data Portability and Deletion

You may export Your Data at any time from your account settings. On termination of your account, we will retain Your Data for 90 days to allow for export requests, after which it will be deleted in accordance with our retention schedule.

8. Service Availability and Support

8.1 Uptime

We target 99.5% monthly uptime for paid plans, excluding scheduled maintenance and events outside our reasonable control. We will endeavour to give 48 hours' advance notice of planned maintenance affecting service availability.

8.2 Support

Support is available by email for all plans. Response times vary by tier. Enterprise clients receive dedicated support with agreed service levels.

8.3 No Guarantee of Continuity

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time. We are not liable for temporary unavailability caused by factors outside our control.

9. Disclaimers

Provided “as is”. The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy.

Data accuracy. Climate risk assessments, emissions calculations, and scenario outputs depend on data you provide, third-party datasets, and scientific models that carry inherent uncertainty. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for regulatory use of any output. You are responsible for validating outputs before using them in disclosures, investment decisions, or regulatory filings.

Regulatory compliance. We do not guarantee that use of the Services will ensure compliance with IFRS S2, CSRD, TCFD, SEC climate rules, or any other regulatory framework. Regulatory requirements are evolving; you should seek independent legal or regulatory advice.

Third-party data. The platform incorporates third-party datasets (NGFS scenarios, IPCC pathways, physical hazard data, emission factors). We are not responsible for the accuracy of third-party data.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• Exclusion of consequential loss. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill, or opportunity — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Cap on liability. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under or related to these Terms shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $500.
• Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for: fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; death or personal injury caused by negligence; or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusions of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aretia Climate, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your use of the Services in breach of these Terms.
• Data you upload to the platform, including any claim that it infringes third-party rights or breaches data protection law.
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Any misuse of outputs generated by the Services.

12. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting legal@aretiaclimate.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refund is issued for the remaining period unless required by law.

12.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay fees when due, or if we are required to do so by law. For non-material breaches, we will give you 14 days' written notice to remedy the breach before termination.

We may also terminate the Services on 60 days' written notice for business reasons unrelated to your conduct. In that case, you will receive a pro-rata refund.

12.3 Effect of Termination
