Please read these terms carefully before using The Carbon Workbench.
Last updated: 29 September 2026The Carbon Workbench is a trading name of Kieran Simpson, a sole trader based in Bristol, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "our"). You can contact us at hello@thecarbonworkbench.com.
These terms apply to your use of thecarbonworkbench.com, the calculators, the workspace app, project reports, embeds and any related services (together, "the Service"). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Some sections apply differently depending on whether you use the Service as a consumer (for purposes outside your trade, business or profession) or as a business. Where that is the case, we say so.
You must give accurate information when you create an account and keep your sign-in details secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you think your account has been accessed without permission.
Prices are shown on the website and at checkout. Payments are processed by our reseller, Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record: it takes the payment, handles applicable sales tax such as VAT, and issues your receipt or invoice. Lemon Squeezy's own buyer terms also apply to the payment.
If a purchase is set to renew, the renewal date and price are shown at checkout, and you can cancel at any time before the renewal date through the billing portal or by emailing us. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period already paid for.
Our Refund Policy explains when refunds are available and how to request one.
If you are a consumer, you normally have 14 days from purchase to cancel a contract for digital content. Report credits and report access are digital content supplied as soon as you use them. By unlocking a project report during those 14 days, you ask us to supply it immediately and acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel for that credit once it has been used. Unused credits can still be cancelled within the 14 days. This does not affect your statutory rights if a report is faulty or not as described.
The calculators and reports produce estimates for planning, screening and discussion. They draw on published emission factors and methodology guidance, including Gold Standard, Verra, Puro.earth, IPCC guidance, the GHG Protocol and UK government conversion factors, but they are not a validation, verification or certification of any project, footprint or claim, and they are not financial, investment or legal advice.
You agree not to:
Project details, calculations, branding and notes you add remain yours. You give us permission to store and process them only as needed to provide the Service to you, including generating your reports and running your embeds. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.
The Service, including its design, code, calculators, methodology notes and branding, belongs to us or our licensors. Reports you have paid for are yours to use and share for your own work and with your clients.
We work to keep the Service available and accurate, but it may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance, updates or reasons outside our control. We may change or retire features. If a change materially reduces something you have paid for and not yet used, we will offer a fair alternative or a pro-rata refund.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited. If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
If you are a consumer, we are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for business losses, because the Service is provided to consumers for personal use only.
If you are a business, we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, or for any indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability to you for all claims in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in that period and £100.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, after telling you why where it is reasonable to do so. You can close your account at any time by emailing hello@thecarbonworkbench.com.
We may update these terms from time to time. We will tell you about material changes by email or with a clear notice on the Service before they take effect. Changes do not apply to purchases already made.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
