The rules that apply when you use this site, the registry, or buy and sell through Carbonland. Written plainly, because terms nobody reads protect nobody.
Last updated: 5 October 2026
This site and the Carbonland platform are operated by Carbonland Pty Ltd, Level 4, 91 William Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. Throughout this document, “we”, “us” and “Carbonland” mean that company, and “you” means anyone using the site or the platform.
By using the site, browsing the registry, or entering into an agreement with us, you accept these terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you are confirming you have authority to bind it.
We measure carbon removal at the sites we instrument, arrange independent verification, issue credits to a public registry, and connect suppliers with buyers.
We are not a broker, and we do not take a trading position in the credits we issue. We are not a financial adviser, and nothing on this site is investment, tax, accounting or legal advice. Decisions about whether a credit suits your reporting obligations are yours, and you should take your own advice before relying on one.
You may read, search and cite anything published here, including the registry and our methodology documents. In return, you agree not to:
We may suspend access where we reasonably believe one of these has happened.
Some parts of the platform require an account or an API key. You are responsible for keeping credentials secure and for everything done under them. Tell us promptly if you believe a key has been exposed and we will revoke and reissue it.
Published rate limits apply to API access. We may change them with notice, and we may throttle usage that threatens the service for others.
Credits are issued only against removals our instruments recorded and an accredited verifier signed off. A credit carries its measurement history, the methodology version applied, the verifier’s attestation and the site it came from.
Retirement is permanent and public. Once a credit is retired it cannot be transferred, resold or reinstated. A tonne measured on our instrumentation may not be issued through another registry, and that restriction is contractual with every supplier.
The registry record is a record of what was measured and verified. It is not a guarantee of future performance, of a particular tax or accounting treatment, or that any given regulator will accept the credit for a particular purpose.
Biological storage can reverse — through fire, disease, or a change in land use. We hold a buffer pool funded by a share of every issuance across all pathways. Where a reversal is confirmed and affects credits you have already retired, replacement credits are drawn from that pool at no cost to you.
The pool is finite and its balance is published monthly. Our obligation is limited to replacement from the pool as it stands at the time a reversal is confirmed.
Verifiers are drawn by rotation from an accredited pool and paid from a levy on issuance. Suppliers do not select, pay or decline their verifier. We publish each attestation, but a verifier is an independent party and their findings are theirs, not ours.
Prices quoted on this site are indicative and vary by pathway, volume and contract length. Binding terms are those in your signed agreement with us. Unless that agreement says otherwise, amounts are exclusive of GST and any applicable withholding or transfer taxes.
The design, text, photography and code of this site belong to us or our licensors. Our methodology documents and registry data are published for anyone to read, cite and audit — please attribute them, and check you are citing the current version.
Where you supply us with content, site data or a logo, you keep ownership and grant us the licence we need to operate the platform and publish what the record requires.
We work to keep the site, registry and API available, and we publish a target in our API documentation, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. Maintenance, provider failures and events outside our reasonable control will sometimes interrupt access.
Nothing here excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss arising from a decision you took on the basis of information on this site. Our total liability in connection with the platform is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
The site links to registries, standards bodies and other external sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their terms.
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Where a change materially affects an existing agreement, we will tell account holders directly rather than relying on this page.
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the courts of Victoria have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
