THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH THE Emission Credits Exchange OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES. This Agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services at http://www.EmissionCreditsExchange.com and our general business conduct principles. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us or review our FAQ page. We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site. Except as stated below, all amended terms shall be effective immediately after they are posted on our site. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in a writing signed by you and the Emission Credits Exchange . This agreement is effective on March 1st, 2002 for all new and existing registered users.

Membership Eligibility.
Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Emission Credits Exchange reserves the right to extend or refuse membership to any party without explanation. Emission Credits Exchange also reserve the right to further screen prospective participants for information beyond the standard registration form. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Emission Credits Exchange members. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services. Further, your account may not be transferred or sold to another party.

Fees and Services.
Joining and posting buy and sell orders to our service is free. Should you negotiate an agreement to buy or sell credits using our service, we will charge each party 3% of the transaction value of the credit sale. A minimum transaction fee of $200.00 applies to each party for each completed transaction. Emission Credits Exchange may change our Fees and Services Policy and the fees for our services from time to time. Changes to the policy are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen (14) days' notice of the changes by posting the changes on the announcements board. We may, at our sole discretion, change some or all of our services at any time. In the event we introduce a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service and our website and all applicable taxes.

The Emission Credits Exchange is Only a Venue.
Our site acts as a venue to allow participants to sell and buy emission credits, at anytime, from anywhere, in a format that allows negotiation between two anonymous traders. Emission Credits Exchange is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. We do not act as an agent in favor of one party or the other. As a result, we have no control over the legitimacy of the credits posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

Release.
Because Emission Credits Exchange is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release The Emission Credits Exchange (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Bidding and Buying.
You are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller if you purchase an item through our online negotiation formats. When placing a bid, you will be reminded of your obligation and given the opportunity to reconsider before proceeding.

Listing and Selling.
You must be legally able to sell the credit(s) you list for sale on our Site. You must provide all necessary information about the credits on the listing page of our Site. If you negotiate a sale of credits through our service, you are obligated to fill the order. When making an offer, you will be reminded of your obligation and be given the opportunity to reconsider before proceeding. All listed items must be listed in an appropriate category. If you have any questions regarding where or how to list your credits, please consult our FAQ page or contact us.

Fraud.
Without limiting any other remedies, the Emission Credits Exchange may suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site.

Your Information.
Definition. "Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to us or other users in the registration, bidding or listing process, or through any email feature. Restrictions.
