CO₂e Attestation — Legal

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern the use of Certif-Scope and the issuance of standardized CO₂e Attestations. By generating an Attestation, the user acknowledges having read and accepted these Terms in full.

1. Purpose

These Terms define the contractual framework applicable to the use of the Certif-Scope service, which provides indicative spend-based CO₂e Attestations generated from annual financial expenditure data provided by the user.

2. Service Description

Certif-Scope converts annual spending (€) into an indicative CO₂e value using a deterministic spend-based calculation model. The service delivers a downloadable PDF Attestation that includes:

  • an aggregated indicative CO₂e result
  • a standardized institutional-grade PDF format
  • a unique Attestation identifier
  • a verification link and QR code
  • embedded integrity and authenticity safeguards
  • dataset name and version used
  • a stated validity period of one (1) year

The Attestation is not a certification, not a CSRD or ESRS report, not a greenhouse gas audit, and not a regulated emissions inventory.

3. Pricing and Payment

Pricing is fixed per Attestation. No subscription applies. The applicable price is displayed on the Pricing page at the time of purchase.

Payments are processed through Stripe. VAT does not apply in accordance with the French VAT exemption regime (Article 293B of the French General Tax Code).

4. Service Delivery

Upon confirmation of payment, the Attestation is generated immediately and made available to the user as a downloadable PDF.

5. Reissuance and Lost Attestations

Certif-Scope does not store issued Attestations or underlying financial data after issuance. Users are responsible for archiving their Attestation PDF.

Re-issuance may be granted at Certif-Scope’s discretion and will generate a new identifier and validity period.

6. No Right of Withdrawal

In accordance with EU Directive 2011/83/EU, the right of withdrawal does not apply to fully executed digital services.

7. User Responsibilities

Users are solely responsible for the accuracy of provided data and the context in which the Attestation is used.

8. Limitation of Liability

Certif-Scope cannot be held liable for misuse, misinterpretation or decisions taken by third parties based on the Attestation.

9. Intellectual Property

All content and document structures are protected by intellectual property laws.

10. Data Protection and ePrivacy

Certif-Scope applies strict privacy-by-design principles. Full details are provided in the Privacy Policy.

11. Modification of the Terms

These Terms may be updated at any time. The latest version always prevails.
