9.6 Data Processing Agreement. To the extent that User Data includes personal data subject to GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable data protection laws, the Data Processing Agreement published at layer-iq.com/legal/dpa is incorporated into these Terms by reference and governs Layer IQ's processing of such personal data. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA shall prevail.
10. Third party data and data provider terms
10.1 Third party data framework. Layer IQ integrates data from third-party providers, including licensed data, publicly available data, and marketplace integration data. Information about available Third Party Data sources, provider names, and applicable terms is published at layer-iq.com/legal/third-party-notices and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
10.2 User's compliance with third party terms. User acknowledges that third-party data providers impose their own terms of use, licensing restrictions, and data use limitations. By accessing and using User Data that incorporates Third Party Data, User agrees to comply with all applicable Third Party Data Provider Terms as published and updated by Layer IQ. Layer IQ will identify which User Data incorporates Third Party Data where practically feasible, but does not warrant that all Third Party Data sources are identified.
10.3 Flow-down of restrictions. User acknowledges that certain Third Party Data Providers impose restrictions on data use and processing. User shall not use the Service or User Data in ways that violate these restrictions, including but not limited to restrictions on competitive analysis, reverse engineering, redistribution, or sublicensing of Third Party Data.
10.4 Updates to third party data terms. Layer IQ may update the Third Party Data Provider Terms page at any time as providers are added, modified, or removed. User is responsible for reviewing the Third Party Data Provider Terms page periodically. User's continued use of the Service following updates constitutes acceptance of updated terms, provided that material restrictions on User's existing access or use shall apply prospectively only.

10.7 No reliance for regulatory, compliance, or reporting purposes. Third Party Data is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for independent verification, professional advice, or primary-source data. User is solely responsible for determining the suitability of Third Party Data for any regulatory, compliance, financial reporting, environmental reporting, carbon accounting, or other reporting purpose. Layer IQ does not verify, audit, certify, or assure the accuracy or completeness of Third Party Data, even where the Service displays data confidence indicators, source attributions, or quality scores — such indicators reflect metadata provided by Third Party Data Providers and Layer IQ's internal classification and do not constitute a representation or warranty by Layer IQ. Third Party Data Providers may maintain their own certifications, audits, or assurance programs (such as ISAE 3000 or similar standards), but those programs are between the Third Party Data Provider and its auditors, and Layer IQ makes no representation regarding such programs. Layer IQ is not liable for any regulatory penalties, fines, sanctions, audit findings, restatements, compliance failures, or losses arising from User's reliance on Third Party Data for any purpose.
11. Certificate program (ITECs and IMATs)
11.1 Program overview. The Certificate Program enables creation and trading of IT Environmental Certificates (ITECs) and IT Material Attribute Tokens (IMATs) through the Bloom Registry (collectively, "Certificates"). Layer IQ digitizes, analyzes, and verifies ITAD data to support Certificate creation, subject to Bloom's verification and auditor approval. ITECs are created when IT assets are refurbished, resold, or reused. IMATs are created when IT assets are recycled and materials are recovered. Certificates are accounting and claim instruments, not carbon offsets or emissions removals.
11.2 Certificate participation election.
- Disclosure and choice. During signup, User (if an ITAD Organization) is presented with a clear explanation of the Certificate Program, including how Certificates are created from User's activity data, the value they represent, and the ownership options available. User selects one of the following participation options:
- Option A — User creates and owns. User elects to create and own Certificates from User's activity data through the Certificate Program. User pays the applicable per-Certificate fee. Layer IQ digitizes, processes, and submits the data through the verification and audit workflow. Upon issuance, the Certificates belong to User.
- Option B — Layer IQ creates; User purchases at wholesale (standing purchase). Layer IQ creates Certificates from User's activity data. User commits to purchasing all Certificates created from User's data at Layer IQ's then-current wholesale cost. Layer IQ invoices User for purchased Certificates each billing cycle.
- Option C — Layer IQ creates and brokers (default). Layer IQ creates Certificates from User's activity data and retains ownership. Layer IQ may sell, transfer, broker, or otherwise monetize the Certificates at its discretion without further obligation to User. User receives no Certificates and pays no per-Certificate fees. The Service interface displays the Certificate value being generated from User's data for informational purposes.
- Option D — Per-batch purchase right. Layer IQ creates Certificates from User's activity data. When a batch of Certificates is created, User is notified through the Service interface and/or email. User has five (5) business days from notification to elect to purchase any or all Certificates in the batch at Layer IQ's then-current wholesale cost. Certificates not purchased within the five (5) business day window become Layer IQ's property and may be sold, transferred, brokered, or otherwise monetized at Layer IQ's discretion without further obligation to User.
- Opt out. User may elect that no Certificates be created from User's activity data. No Certificates will be created and no Certificate fees apply.
- Informed consent. User acknowledges that the Certificate Program election is presented conspicuously during signup, that User has had the opportunity to review this Section 11, and that User's election is made knowingly and voluntarily.
- Prospective effect. All elections and changes to elections take effect prospectively only. Certificates already created or in process at the time of election change are not affected.
- Modification. User may change Certificate Program participation at any time in account settings. Changes apply to activity data submitted after the change.
11.3 Certificate ownership.
- User-owned Certificates. Under Option A, Option B, or Option D (where User exercises the purchase right), User owns the Certificates and is responsible for all applicable fees, Bloom Registry management, and compliance with Bloom's terms.
- Layer IQ-owned Certificates. Under Option C, or under Option D where User does not exercise the purchase right within the five (5) business day window, Layer IQ retains ownership of the Certificates and may sell, transfer, broker, or otherwise monetize them at Layer IQ's discretion.
- Later purchase of unsold Certificates. Layer IQ-owned Certificates that have not been sold or transferred remain available for User to purchase at Layer IQ's then-current wholesale price at any time through the Service, subject to availability.
11.4 Certificate fees. User shall pay Layer IQ's then-current per-Certificate fee for each Certificate that User elects to own, whether through Option A (User Creates and Owns), Option B (Standing Purchase), or Option D (Per-Batch Purchase Right). The per-Certificate fee is separate from the monthly subscription fee and shall be charged upon Certificate creation (under Option A), each billing cycle (under Option B), or upon purchase election (under Option D). Under Option C, no per-Certificate fee is charged to User.
11.5 Exclusive claims. User acknowledges that once a Certificate is created from a particular activity or asset, User may not make independent carbon intensity claims for the same underlying activity or asset without the prior written consent of the Certificate owner, to prevent double-counting and fraud.
11.6 No guarantee of issuance. Layer IQ does not guarantee that Certificates will be created or issued. Certificate creation and issuance is contingent on: (a) Bloom's verification of data and methodology; (b) compliance with applicable regulations and Bloom's terms; (c) auditor approval; and (d) User's compliance with these Terms. If a Certificate fails to be issued for any reason, User's fees (if applicable) may not be refunded, except as expressly provided in Layer IQ's refund policy.
11.7 Certificate handling upon termination.
- User-owned Certificates. If User owns Certificates and User's account is terminated, User retains ownership and remains responsible for managing them on the Bloom Registry. Layer IQ may provide transition assistance for a reasonable period of time.
- Layer IQ-owned Certificates. If Layer IQ owns Certificates created from User's activity data, Layer IQ's ownership continues after account termination, provided that Layer IQ shall not create additional Certificates from historical activity data after termination without User's written consent.
- Unsold Certificates. If Layer IQ-owned Certificates have not been sold or transferred at the time of account termination, User may purchase them at wholesale cost for a period of sixty (60) days after termination, subject to applicable regulations and Bloom Registry procedures.
11.8 Compliance with Bloom terms. User acknowledges that Certificates are subject to the Bloom Registry's terms, conditions, and procedures. User shall comply with all applicable Bloom terms and shall cooperate with Bloom and auditors regarding Certificate verification, auditing, and administration.
11.9 Certificate Marketplace. User may participate in the Marketplace to list, offer, or purchase Certificates, subject to Section 12. All Certificate transactions are subject to the Marketplace Terms and this Certificate Program section.
12. Marketplace features
12.1 Marketplace overview. The Marketplace is a Layer IQ-facilitated platform that connects carbon brokers, Certificate sellers, Certificate buyers, and other participants for the purpose of discovering and trading Certificates and related instruments. Layer IQ operates the Marketplace on a facilitation basis and does not itself transact or take title to Certificates or other instruments (except as permitted under Section 11.3).
12.2 Marketplace participation. User may opt to participate in the Marketplace through account settings. Once opted in, User may list, offer, and purchase Certificates and other instruments, subject to Layer IQ's Marketplace listing policies and these Terms. Not all users or entity types may be eligible for all Marketplace features.
12.3 Transactions and pricing.
- User-directed transactions. Marketplace transactions (including pricing, terms, and conditions) are negotiated and agreed upon directly between the buyer and seller. Layer IQ does not set prices, negotiate terms, or facilitate specific transaction terms.
- Layer IQ's role. Layer IQ provides the platform for discovery and communication but is not a party to transactions and does not transact on User's behalf.
- Transaction confirmation. Users are responsible for confirming all transaction details, including specifications of Certificates, pricing, and settlement terms. Once confirmed, transactions are binding between the parties.
12.4 Marketplace content. User shall not list, offer, or describe Certificates or instruments in ways that: (a) are false, deceptive, or misleading; (b) violate applicable law or regulatory standards; (c) infringe third-party rights; or (d) violate the terms of the Bloom Registry or other applicable instruments' governance.
12.5 Marketplace disputes. Layer IQ is not responsible for disputes between Marketplace participants, including disputes regarding pricing, delivery, authenticity of Certificates, or performance of transactions. Layer IQ does not mediate disputes and is not liable for losses, damages, or claims arising from Marketplace transactions. User acknowledges that Layer IQ is a facilitator only and that User assumes all risk associated with Marketplace participation.
12.6 Removal of listings. Layer IQ may remove listings from the Marketplace at any time without notice if Layer IQ reasonably believes the listing violates these Terms, applicable law, or Bloom Registry standards.
12.7 Marketplace fees. Layer IQ may charge marketplace transaction fees, listing fees, or other charges for Marketplace services as specified in the subscription plan or separately communicated to User. These fees are separate from monthly subscription fees and Certificate creation fees.
13. AI features
13.1 AI features description. Layer IQ uses artificial intelligence, including machine learning models, to provide certain Service features, including anomaly detection, anomaly scoring, and analytics. These features are referred to as "AI Features."
13.2 Use of Claude AI. Layer IQ may use Anthropic's Claude AI language model (in isolated mode) to support AI Features, including anomaly detection and analysis of User Data. User consents to Layer IQ's use of AI processing of User Data for these purposes. User Data submitted to Claude is processed in isolated mode and not used to train Layer IQ's or Anthropic's models.
13.3 AI feature limitations.
- Not perfect. AI Features are not perfect and may produce inaccurate, misleading, or false results. Layer IQ does not warrant the accuracy or reliability of AI Feature output.
- No liability for AI errors. Layer IQ is not liable for errors, inaccuracies, or harmful outcomes resulting from AI Feature use, including anomaly misdetection or misclassification.
- Human review required. User is responsible for reviewing AI Feature output and not relying solely on AI-generated results for critical decisions. User shall implement appropriate human oversight and verification processes.
- Evolving technology. AI Features may be modified, updated, or improved at any time, and Layer IQ does not warrant that AI Feature performance will remain consistent.
13.4 AI data usage. User acknowledges that Layer IQ may use Usage Data derived from AI Feature interactions to improve AI Features, retrain models, and develop new features. This usage is governed by Section 7.2 and the License Grant for Usage Data.
13.5 No reliance for critical safety. User shall not rely on AI Features for decisions that could result in safety-critical harm, regulatory violations, or significant financial loss without independent human verification. Layer IQ specifically disclaims liability for such reliance.
14. Fees and payment
14.1 Subscription pricing. User shall pay the monthly subscription fee specified in User's subscription plan. Subscription fees are billed monthly (or as otherwise specified in the plan) on the anniversary of the subscription commencement date or the date specified in the subscription plan.
14.2 Per-Certificate fees. In addition to the monthly subscription fee, User shall pay the per-Certificate fee specified in the rate schedule for each Certificate that User elects to own, whether through Option A (User Creates and Owns), Option B (Standing Purchase), or Option D (Per-Batch Purchase Right). Per-Certificate fees are charged upon Certificate creation (under Option A), each billing cycle (under Option B), or upon purchase election (under Option D). No per-Certificate fee is charged to User under Option C (Layer IQ Creates and Brokers).
14.3 Marketplace fees. Layer IQ may charge marketplace transaction fees, listing fees, or other marketplace-related charges as specified in the subscription plan or rate schedule. These fees are separate from subscription and Certificate fees and are charged on a transaction-by-transaction basis or as otherwise specified.
14.4 Job packs for ITADs. ITAD Organizations may purchase job packs that provide a specified number of processing jobs. Job pack pricing is set forth in the rate schedule. Job packs and all unused jobs expire at the end of User's current Monthly Subscription Period (or, if User has selected a longer billing cycle, at the end of that cycle). If User renews the subscription, unused jobs from the expiring period roll over into the renewal period. If User does not renew, all unused jobs are forfeited and are not refundable. Job packs are non-transferable between accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, all add-on purchases (including job packs purchased during the final days of a subscription period) expire at the end of the then-current subscription period and are subject to the same rollover and forfeiture rules.
14.5 Tax. All fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, and other taxes. User shall be responsible for all applicable taxes, and Layer IQ will invoice taxes separately where required by law. User shall provide valid tax exemption documentation if applicable.
14.6 Billing and payment terms.
- Billing information. User shall provide current, accurate billing information and payment method. User authorizes Layer IQ to charge the provided payment method.
