In addition, while using the Application, you will not do the following:
As a condition to using certain features of the Application, you will be required to create an account (an “Account”), which Account will include a username and password. If you create an Account, you agree to provide true, accurate, complete and updated registration information and maintain and promptly update your registration information to keep it true, accurate, complete and updated. If you provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, we have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of related features of the Application.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account username and password and for the security of your Account. You are also fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You must notify us immediately of any actual or suspected loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Account username or password. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section. If you have registered and created an Account on the Application, and you wish to close such Account, you may contact us at the following email address to request termination and deletion of your Account: support@ample.earth
The Application may employ the use of third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties.
When you purchase impact products using the Application, we will purchase the quantity of impact selected in your Ample dashboard, less any third party payment processing fee(s).
We reserve the right to purchase impact products at a date later than the date of the transaction due to delays in collection from the User and bulk availability of impact products. We are not required to purchase impact products from the project solicited to the User, and we may choose to purchase impact products from other verified projects for any reason at our sole discretion. For example, if the specific project solicited is fully subscribed and funded at the time of impact product purchase, but the Ample plugin and/or dashboard, does not reflect that, we will buy impact products on behalf of the User for a project with a similar cost and environmental and social impact-profile, as determined by us. Also, we may can change the implied price of the impact products in our discretion based on market availability, and we may change inputs for calculations based on new data and all impact product calculations are subject to change. We may retire impact products in bulk on behalf of all of our customers and users, and therefore we do not attribute specific purchases to any individual customer(s).
Shopify will automatically charge your credit card for impact products purchases made through the Application. If your payment lapses, and Ample do not receive impact product funds, we are not liable or responsible to purchase impact products on users’ behalf. Also, if your payment lapses, then, without limiting Ample’s other available remedies, we may suspend your access to the Application, treat such lapse as a material breach of these Terms, and/or assess a late payment fee of 5% per month on the overdue amount or the highest amount permitted under applicable law, whichever is less.
