Terms of Service

Last updated: September 7, 2025


1. Purpose and Scope

CDRfyi Inc. ("CDR.fyi," "we") is a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation committed to the public good. Our mission is to accelerate durable carbon removal by creating trust through transparent, high-quality market intelligence.

These Terms of Service create a binding contract that governs every visit, account, and data submission—past, present, and future—across all CDR.fyi websites, portals, and APIs (collectively, the "Site").


2. Definitions

Capitalized terms not defined here—Service, Data, Contributor Data, Personal Data, Confidential Data, Usage Data, Partner Benefits—have the meaning given in our Privacy Policy.

User Content means all other material you post (e.g., comments, avatars, forum posts).


3. Acceptance & Modification

  • By using the Site, you accept these Terms.
  • We may update them at any time:
    • Minor clarifications: effective immediately for all users.
    • Material changes: effective immediately for new users, and for existing users 15 calendar days after notice by email or banner.
  • If you object, you may close your account before the effective date. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.

4. Accounts

  • Choose a strong password and keep it confidential.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your credentials.

5. Licence to Use the Site

5.1 Baseline License

Subject to these Terms, CDR.fyi grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view data from the Site for your own internal business or research purposes.

5.2 Permitted Public Visualizations

You may create and publish charts, infographics, or other visualizations incorporating insubstantial extracts of CDR.fyi data only if you:

  1. Clearly attribute the source as "CDR.fyi" and, where technically feasible, include a live hyperlink to https://cdr.fyi.
  2. Do not misrepresent the data or its provenance.

We love seeing the data spark conversation—please tag us or send us a link so that we may amplify your work.

5.3 Prohibited Uses

Unless you have a commercial license or written permission from CDR.fyi, you may not:

• Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or harvest CDR.fyi data. • Copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, license, sublicense, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit any portion of the Site or its data (other than as in 5.2). • Integrate CDR.fyi data into a commercial product, API, database, or dataset. • Remove proprietary notices or obscure the data's origin.

For a commercial license, please reach out to us at partners@cdr.fyi.


6. Data You Provide

6.1 User Content

You grant CDR.fyi a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to display, host, and back-up User Content. You represent that you own, or have permission to share, all such material.

6.2 Contributor-Data Licences

When you submit Contributor Data, you grant CDR.fyi an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use that data as follows:

Confidential Data: Use raw files internally; create anonymized, aggregated outputs that may be published, licensed, or sold, provided they cannot reasonably identify you or your organization. Raw files are not published/shared.

Public Data: Use, reproduce, publish, display, modify, distribute, license, sell, or otherwise exploit in any medium, including revenue-generating products, without restriction.

  • These licences cover all Contributor Data past and future.
  • No monetary compensation is owed for such use.

6.3 Partner Benefits

  • We may grant enhanced platform access for Contributor Data, based on volume, frequency, integrity, and automation of submissions.
  • Partner Benefits are the sole consideration for Contributor Data.
  • We may modify the program at any time.

Why data-sharing helps you: By submitting data to CDR.fyi, you contribute to the industry's most-trusted public record. Contributors report that this visibility:

  • Strengthens credibility with buyers, investors, and regulators.
  • Accelerates deal flow through discoverability in dashboards and alerts.
  • Provides benchmarking insights available only to contributors.

In short, when the market sees your data, your credibility grows—and the entire ecosystem moves faster.

These advantages are in addition to any Partner Benefits tier you may earn.

6.4 Accuracy & Corrections

  • You confirm Contributor Data is accurate and you have authority to provide it.
  • To correct or re-label data, email data@cdr.fyi. We respond within 15 days.
  • Public Data already in the record remains accessible; we may publish updates or annotations.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service in any unlawful, abusive, or security-compromising manner. Prohibited conduct includes:

  • Unauthorized scraping or bulk-downloading.
  • Reselling data without a Commercial Licence.
  • Spamming or distributing malware.

We welcome creative uses of the CDR.fyi visualizations and data, provided they respect the terms set out herein.


8. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

  • The Service is provided "as is."
  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to US $50.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion. Sections on licences, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.


10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, whose courts have exclusive jurisdiction.


11. General

  • Headings are for convenience only.
  • "Including" means "including without limitation."
