6. Emissions Calculation Accuracy

Ostrom calculates GHG emissions information by relying upon and using emissions factors created or provided by government and other historically creditable sources. Because of the nature of the industry, GHG emission factors and calculation methodology may change from time to time, with the result that calculations may yield different results at different points in time. While Ostrom is dedicated to providing current and accurate calculations of GHG emissions, and does so in accordance with best industry practices at the time of calculation, Ostrom does not guarantee or warrant the consistency or accuracy of its emissions calculations.

7. Ostrom and Offset Projects

Ostrom accepts its customers’ instructions with respect to use of funds to support particular offset project portfolios on the basis that Ostrom will use its best efforts to apply funds to those projects within the offset portfolio. Ostrom may, in its sole discretion, determine that it is not feasible to apply funds as instructed, in which event funds will be applied to other emissions reduction projects selected by Ostrom, acting reasonably, that would still be considered a part of the selected offset portfolio.

8. No Waiver

No failure by Ostrom to enforce the Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a waiver by Ostrom of its rights under these Terms and Conditions. The Terms and Conditions may only be waived by Ostrom in writing. No waiver by Ostrom of a default under the Terms and Conditions shall operate or be construed as a waiver by Ostrom of any future defaults, whether of a like or different character, or of your obligations or liabilities under the Terms and Conditions.
