Full Version
1. General
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") apply to the services provided by ClimateHero (the "Service") between ClimateHero AB ("ClimateHero") and you ("the User").
ClimateHero offers a comprehensive range of Services designed to help Users calculate, reduce, and balance their emissions. These Services cater to both individuals and businesses.
Balancing emissions means funding climate solutions that reduce or remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, contributing to meaningful global emissions reduction.
These Terms apply to all ClimateHero services except the Business Calculator, which is governed by a separate License Agreement available at business-calculator.climatehero.org.
2. Usage of the Service
The User may use the Service for personal or internal business purposes, unless otherwise agreed with ClimateHero. ClimateHero reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend or terminate Users who are deemed to violate the Terms or otherwise misuse the Service. ClimateHero may also block a User account for a certain period in order to investigate any breach of contract.
The User confirms their identity in the Service through their email address, and in the case of purchases, through payment by credit card or other selected payment method. This applies to all Services, including those for both individuals and businesses, where Users engage via an online service without direct interaction with a ClimateHero representative. ClimateHero cannot be held responsible for unauthorized use of the Service if the User's email address or credit card is used by an unauthorized person.
3. Guidelines for Climate Funding
Climate solutions
ClimateHero offers three types of verified climate solutions:
- Avoided emissions, certified by Gold Standard. Accelerates the green transition through certified climate projects.
- Long-term carbon removal. Pyrolysis of residual biomass into biochar, stably stored in soil for hundreds of years.
- Sustainable aviation fuel. Jet fuel made from waste materials such as used cooking oil, replacing fossil jet fuel.
Unless otherwise clearly stated at the point of purchase or in a separate agreement, climate funding is directed to ClimateHero's portfolio of Gold Standard certified climate projects. For certain products a combination of climate solutions may be used.
The guidelines for ClimateHero's climate solutions are reviewed annually and can be found at climatehero.org/fund/our-approach.
Climate funding for individuals
ClimateHero offers Users the option to balance emissions through a monthly subscription or through one-off purchases, either for specific activities such as flights, car trips or events, or for climate gifts and individual tonnes of CO₂e.
For monthly subscriptions:
- If the subscription is based on an estimated carbon footprint, 200% of that footprint is balanced each year. Footprints above 15 tonnes of CO₂e per person are calculated as 15 tonnes, so the maximum balanced is 30 tonnes of CO₂e per person per year.
- If no footprint estimate has been made, 10 tonnes of CO₂e per person per year is balanced.
- If the User chooses to include additional adults, they are assumed to have the same carbon footprint as the User. Children are assumed to have half the carbon footprint of the User.
When completing a one-off purchase, ClimateHero funds climate solutions corresponding to the emissions associated with the selected activity or purchased volume.
Climate funding for businesses
The Terms for individuals also apply to purchases made by businesses. For businesses receiving tailored support through ClimateHero's Consulting Services, the climate funding strategy is agreed individually and the standard guidelines above may not apply.
4. Prices
Prices for climate solutions are outlined in ClimateHero's price list, available on our website.
For subscription services, any price adjustments will be made no more than once per calendar year and will be communicated to the User at least 30 days before taking effect.
For one-off purchases, the price applicable at the time of purchase applies.
ClimateHero assumes no responsibility for any tax implications arising from the User's use of the Service.
