We shall not be liable for any direct or indirect losses that arise from a failure by you or a third party to view and/or adhere to any notice displayed on the home page of the Site.
The Carbon Trust may give you the option to subscribe to different services (such as publication ordering and event booking) through this Site. Such services are open to registered users only and your use of the content received through any such service/publication will be subject to these Terms of Use. As part of the registration process, you must therefore agree to accept these Terms of Use. Where registering on behalf of an organisation, you are accepting these Terms of Use on behalf of your organisation.

Certain publications are available for purchase. Where you are purchasing any publications (or other items) from our Site, our conditions of sale will apply to your purchase.

These Terms of Use refer only to your viewing of and using this Site. As mentioned above, separate terms and conditions may apply to promotions which we may run from time to time as well as to products and services sold through this Site. If there is a conflict between the Terms of Use and any specific rules and/or terms and conditions which: (i) appear elsewhere on the Site and are stated to take precedence; or (ii) form part of a separate agreement between the Carbon Trust and you, those other terms will take priority.
Nothing in the Content within the Site or materials accessed via the Site, other than the Terms of Use, is intended to form any binding contract. In particular, notes on products, services and the like are stated on an 'invitation to treat' basis (i.e. they are not offers which will become binding upon purported acceptance by you) and are 'subject to availability'.
If the Carbon Trust decides to waive any breach of obligation arising under these Terms of Use, that does not mean that the Carbon Trust has waived any other breach or any future breaches. All rights and remedies under these Terms of Use are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or by any other agreement.
If at any time any part of the Terms of Use are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations above, then that invalid, illegal or unenforceable part shall be severed from the remainder of the Terms of Use and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of the Terms of Use shall not be affected or impaired in any way. Further, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable part will be deemed superseded by a valid, legal or enforceable part that most closely satisfies the intention of the original part. The validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of the Terms of Use shall not be affected or impaired in any way. A printed version of this Site and these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of this Site.
These Terms of Use are not enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person not a party to them.
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its choice of law provisions. The courts of general jurisdiction located within England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes arising out of, relating to or concerning these Terms of Use and/or the Site or in which these Terms of Use and/or the Site are a material fact.

In general (and subject to our Cookie Policy below), you can visit this Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. There are, however, parts of this Site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information or publications you request.

We may also use aggregated and average information for the purpose of preparing and displaying the results of polls conducted through forums hosted on the Site.

The information you provide to us will be mainly held on our servers in the United Kingdom and may be accessed by or given to our staff and to third parties including our business partners (such as the Carbon Trust's suppliers and contractors who provide our websites, IT (including hosting), marketing services, services and products). Such suppliers and contractors are primarily located within the European Economic Area ("EEA") and may be engaged to host our IT database or applications, or to process data and provide support and other services on our behalf. However, our business is international and, as such, some data will be transferred, or accessed by staff, suppliers and contractors from, outside of the EEA. In these instances, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. The information you provide may also need to be provided to government bodies and law enforcement agencies, successors in title to our business operations.

We (and our third party suppliers) will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires. In accordance with the UK's Data Protection Act 1998, we employ strict physical, electronic and administrative security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage both online and off-line.

Therefore by browsing this Site and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal information in this way.
Whereas the Carbon Trust employs reasonable measures to protect against viruses and other harmful components and to keep information secure, the nature of the internet is such that it is impossible to ensure that your access to the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that this Site, its servers or emails which may be sent by us are free of viruses or other harmful components and/or that hacking or wrongful obtaining of data by unauthorised third parties cannot happen..
The contents of this Site are designed to comply with the general obligations of the European Directives on Data Protection and E-Privacy. We cannot be responsible for non-compliance with any non-UK advertising or other laws in relation to this Site or its contents.
