Terms of Use

Last updated: 1 January 2025
Effective: 1 January 2025

Important: Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the W3 Energy platform or website. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our platform.

Section 01

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and W3 Energy Ltd ("W3 Energy", "we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in England and Wales, governing your access to and use of the W3 Energy website at W3-Energy.org, the W3 Energy platform, testnet application, and all related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By accessing, registering for, or using the Platform in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy and Risk Disclosure, which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

Section 02

Platform Description

W3 Energy operates a digital platform that facilitates connections between renewable energy project developers, investors, and other participants in the energy finance ecosystem. The Platform provides infrastructure for:

  • Project developer applications and capital raising processes
  • Investor access to curated renewable energy investment opportunities
  • Compliance documentation, regulatory intelligence, and advisory services
  • Governance participation through the W3E token ecosystem
  • Testnet access for technical participants during the pre-mainnet phase

The Platform is currently operating in testnet phase. Mainnet functionality, including live investment transactions, will be subject to additional terms and regulatory requirements applicable at the time of launch.

W3 Energy is not a regulated investment firm, broker, or financial advisor. The Platform facilitates introductions and provides infrastructure — it does not provide investment advice, manage client funds, or guarantee any returns. All investment decisions are made solely by participants.

Section 03

  • Where applicable, you meet the definition of an accredited, professional, or institutional investor as defined under the laws of your jurisdiction
  • You are not subject to any sanctions, criminal convictions, or regulatory restrictions that would prohibit your participation

W3 Energy reserves the right to refuse access to the Platform to any person or entity at its sole discretion, without obligation to provide a reason.

Section 06

No Financial Advice

Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, or regulatory advice. All content, data, and information provided on the Platform is for informational purposes only.

W3 Energy strongly recommends that you obtain independent professional advice — from qualified financial advisors, lawyers, and tax professionals in your jurisdiction — before making any investment or financial decision.

Past performance of any project, investment, or token referenced on the Platform is not indicative of future results. All investments carry risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. W3E tokens are governance and utility instruments — they are not investment products and are not guaranteed to appreciate in value.

Section 07

Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, data, software, and documentation — is owned by or licensed to W3 Energy and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any Platform content without prior written consent from W3 Energy.

By submitting any content or information to the Platform — including project applications, investor profiles, or communications — you grant W3 Energy a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use that content for the purposes of operating and improving the Platform.

Section 08

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, W3 Energy and its directors, officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising from:

  • Your use of or inability to use the Platform
  • Any investment decisions made based on information on the Platform
  • Unauthorised access to or alteration of your account or data
  • Any third-party conduct or content accessible through the Platform
  • Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in Platform content
  • Any interruption, suspension, or termination of the Platform

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you have paid to W3 Energy in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or £100, whichever is greater.

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. W3 Energy does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Section 09

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless W3 Energy and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Platform in violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable laws or regulations
  • Any information you submit to the Platform that is false, misleading, or infringes third-party rights
  • Any dispute between you and a third party arising from your use of the Platform
Section 10

Termination

W3 Energy may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including but not limited to violation of these Terms, suspected fraudulent or illegal activity, or regulatory requirements.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at hello@w3-energy.org. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose prior to termination, including any outstanding fee obligations.

Upon termination, provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — shall continue to apply.

Section 11

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall first be subject to good faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Nothing in this clause prevents W3 Energy from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 12

Changes to These Terms

W3 Energy reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email.

Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

We recommend that you review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.
