1. GENERAL
About Single.Earth
The services under these Terms are provided by Single.Earth OÜ, a company established and existing under the laws of the Republic of Estonia with the registry code 14873080 and contact address at Volta 1, Tallinn 10411, Estonia. The services that involve holding of, or transactions in, MERIT tokens, are operated under the virtual asset service provider license issued by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit (license no. FVT000524).
Our overall goal is to build a system of technological, scientific and financial means which would facilitate conservation of the natural environment to maintain and improve the provision of ecosystem services (namely carbon sequestration in biomass) and ecosystem integrity (function, structure and composition of ecosystems, i.e., biodiversity) globally. For further information, please see more information available on the Website.
Our services should be used only by persons that share this overall goal and who want to contribute to, and participate in, building that system in good faith.
Our agreement with you
These Terms set out the main terms and conditions of Single.Earth services and form the basis of our business relationship. In addition to the Terms, we have regulated and will regulate some aspects of our services in separate terms and conditions which apply to all or to specific categories of Users (Special Terms). At the date of the current version of the Terms, the following Special Terms exist:
- Landowner Terms - applying to Landowners
- Contribution Terms - applying to Contributors
- Privacy Policy - applying to all Users
These Terms and the Special Terms may also have separate appendices which form an integral part of the respective document. The Terms, the Special Terms, and the Privacy Policy are jointly referred to as the “Agreement”.
Prior to making the User Account available to you, we ask you to agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy by clicking “I agree” on our Platform. Also, we ask for your agreement to any of the Special Terms prior to making respective services available to you. By agreeing, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted the respective terms. Single.Earth and you are deemed to have entered into an agreement, and the Terms or the Special Terms become effective, from the moment Single.Earth grants you access to the respective service on the Platform.
If you do not agree to the Terms or to the Special Terms or it would be unlawful for you to use the services of Single.Earth, you should not provide your consent and you are not entitled to use our services.
In the Agreement, we refer to the Science Whitepaper and we may publish other similar papers in the future that describe the concepts and policies we apply in providing our service (“Concept Papers”). We disclose them for information purposes only and they are not directly part of the Agreement.
All these documents mentioned in this section are accessible and can be downloaded from our Website (when published). We suggest that you download a copy of these documents or request us to send you a copy through email.
Risks related to virtual assets and our services
If you see MERIT tokens as an investment opportunity, please note that the value of MERITs can go up or down and do not invest unless you are prepared to lose all your money paid. MERIT token would be a high-risk investment. Similarly, although we work towards solutions for creating meaningful value for supporting the conservation of natural environments, there is no guarantee that a market or other use cases develop for transactions in MERIT tokens or that the value of MERIT tokens will reach or maintain a certain level. Virtual assets are not currently regulated in Estonia. Our operations are not supervised by any financial sector supervisory authority and we are not covered by any financial compensation scheme.
Before using our services and making transactions in MERIT tokens or in any other virtual asset,
please read carefully our Risk Disclosure Statement and make sure you understand how our Platform works and what are the related risks.
Limits on access and services
Although our overall goal is to achieve global reach with the complete concept and service, we need to start small and grow gradually. This means that we will first focus on certain geographies, certain user groups, certain types of natural environments, certain functionalities, etc.
Also, our services, incl. services related to virtual wallets and MERITs, are made accessible and provided in the Republic of Estonia and our operations are managed and carried out in Estonia. We do not operate our business in any other country. Our activities are subject to different regulatory requirements and restrictions (e.g., laws on anti-money laundering, regulations on virtual asset services) and such regulations differ across countries. Also, there may be limitations by our cooperation partners and service providers, which we will need to follow (e.g. limitations on countries to and from which we can make or accept payments).
This all means that we will not provide services to all persons and there are limitations on the services, functionalities, volumes, etc. We will inform you of such restrictions when you access or use our Platform.

4. ASSESSMENT OF THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
4.1
Before MERITs can be minted and any services in relation to MERITs are provided, the following steps need to happen:
- Landowner must register their land plot(s) through the Land Management application; and
- Single.Earth has initiated the Assessment regarding registered land plots.
Land registration
4.2
Landowners are requested to go through the land registration process with each land plot they wish to sign up for the Assessment, and consequently, for receiving MERITs.
4.3
Each Landowner will need to separately agree to the Landowner Terms.
4.4
For the purposes of ensuring the quality and correctness of the Assessment and also, in order to collectively contribute to the conserving of natural environment, the Landowner Terms set out certain expectations and obligations on the Landowners (e.g. prohibition of clearcutting or environmental crime, informing Single.Earth of any adverse changes on the land plot or of plans for such change).
4.5
After a land plot is registered, we initiate the Assessment process in accordance with the Science Whitepaper. The Assessment is a continuous process.
The Assessment will be performed through the implementation of our models (incl. the Digital Twin) based on the information provided by Landowners and the data retrieved from external sources.
4.6
The Assessment regarding a land plot is carried out solely for the purpose of minting MERITs and for their intended use in accordance with our Agreement.
In order to avoid any confusion and misunderstandings, it is very important that you, especially as a Contributor or a Buyer, clearly understand what our Assessment is about and what a MERIT token or making a financial contribution represents.
Single.Earth enables Buyers to financially incentivise landowners to preserve and improve the provision of ecosystem services on their lands. MERITs are not to be used for offsetting greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere and should not be advertised or promoted as such. You may only claim to have achieved what is explicitly set out in our Claims Guidance (see Appendix I). Please reach out to us for any support you may need.
MERIT tokens
4.7
The result of our Assessment is minted in the form a MERIT token and firstly credited to the Token Wallet of a Landowner whose land has provided the nominal value of the assessed ecosystem services.
The minting and the relationship with the Assessment is described in the Science Whitepaper.
4.8
MERITs will only be minted based on the Assessment. However, no MERIT is directly linked to a specific land plot after being minted.
MERIT tokens are fungible instruments, i.e. interchangeable among themselves.
4.9
MERITs and Token Wallets are operated on the public blockchain network Solana which is an open-source software project. We do not own or control any blockchain protocols and software, and assume no responsibility for the operation of the underlying protocols. There is no guarantee regarding the functionality, security, legality, or availability of the underlying protocols.
Should there be any changes to the blockchain protocols we use or if we reasonably deem necessary for other technical reasons, we have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the affected services, incl. the right to re-configure, re-deploy or replace the technical solution or parameters forming or underlying MERIT token or the Token Wallet (without materially affecting the value and content of these to the extent under our control).
4.10
The minting of MERIT tokens and crediting them to Token Wallets cannot be construed as our offer of virtual currencies (e.g. coins or tokens) to our Users or to the general public. In our dealings with MERITs, we do not raise capital for ourselves and do not receive otherwise proceeds from that process, except for fees that we may charge in accordance with these Terms.
5. THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES
General
5.1
Single.Earth is building an infrastructure and a combination of related services to enable (a) the Landowners to benefit from the ecosystem services their land provides and (b) the Contributors and the Buyers to contribute to the continuing provision of such services, and looking forward, (c) all the Users to use the value of the ecosystem services in their daily financial dealings.Single.Earth operates this infrastructure through the Platform and in that connection provides Users the following services:
- opening, maintaining and servicing a Token Wallet for each User, except for the Contributors who are not dealing in tokens;
- crediting MERITs to the Token Wallets of Landowners (as the initial step after minting them);
- facilitating financial contributions by the Contributors in accordance with the Contribution Terms;
- facilitating transactions in MERIT tokens in accordance with these Terms;
- holding MERITs for the benefit of a User in their respective Token Wallet.
We work towards making that list longer.
5.2
Single.Earth Platform does not support anonymous accounts or transactions, the identity of each User is verified and known to us. Information about the Token Wallets and transaction information will be available in the public Solana blockchain network (without your personal information).
Also, we have the right, and often also an obligation under the applicable law, to disclose the information about Users, Token Wallets and transactions in MERITs to government authorities, involved payment service providers, other virtual asset service providers or to other third parties.
The Token Wallet
5.3
Each Landowner will automatically be opened a Token Wallet from the moment their first land is registered on the Platform and the Assessment is initiated. Each Buyer will be opened an individual Token Wallet from the moment they first transfer money to Single.Earth to buy MERITs. Contributors are not opened a Token Wallet.
5.4
Token Wallet is opened as a custodial wallet in Single.Earth name which means that Single.Earth controls all the access keys related to the wallet.
Token Wallet is accessible only through the Platform.
5.5
MERIT tokens are credited to the Token Wallet either through initial minting of MERITs or through a purchase of MERITs. MERIT tokens are debited from the Wallet as a result of a Burn or a sale of MERITs. The minting process is automatic and does not require any instruction by a Landowner. All other transfers in the Token Wallet are made in accordance with the instructions by a specific User and these Terms.
MERIT tokens cannot be transferred to a virtual asset wallet outside the Platform.
5.6
Only MERITs, and in case of Landowners, also Land NFTs (when introduced), can be credited to, held and transacted in Token Wallets.
Single.Earth will not provide a service regarding any other virtual assets that may be transferred to a Token Wallet. Should any other virtual asset than MERIT be transferred to a Token Wallet, Single.Earth may return them, keep them on the same wallet with no access by a User, transfer them to a non-custodial wallet, or take any other action at its own discretion.
The Money Wallet
5.7
In connection with the transactions in MERITs, Buyers are transferring money to Single.Earth for the purchase of tokens, and Landowners are entitled to receive money for tokens purchased.
Single.Earth holds Buyers’ and Landowners’ money on a bank account that is specifically designated for holding clients’ money. This account and the funds held on the account are segregated from Single.Earth’s own funds.
As Contributors are not dealing in MERITs, their payments do not go through the client money account.
5.8
Single.Earth accepts and makes payments only in euros. If you initiate a payment in a currency other than euro, you will need to ensure that the requested amount reaches us in euros, i.e. after deduction of all conversion and payment expenses. Similarly, if we initiate a payment to you in euros, your payment service provider may apply conversion and payment fees if they do not accept euros.
5.9
Payment details and conditions for the payment of the purchase price of MERITs are provided to a Buyer in connection with the specific transaction.
Payments to Landowners are made by Single.Earth at least once a month based on the MERIT tokens sold to Buyers or contributions made by Contributors.
5.10
Limitations may apply for withdrawing money from the Money Wallet in case we have not been able to verify the identity of the User in accordance with the regulatory requirements or if geographical, currency, or amount based limitations are set by the payment service providers we use.
5.11
Each User shall bear their costs related to payments to and from the Money Wallet.
5.12
No interest is paid by Single.Earth for the period any funds are held with Single.Earth.
Burning MERIT tokens
5.13
MERIT tokens that correspond to the contribution made by a Contributor will be either burned directly on the Token Wallet of a respective Landowner or transferred to the designated ‘burn’ wallet from the Landowner’s/-s’ wallet(s) and burned there. The contribution service does not include any transactions in tokens.
5.14
In the future, also a Buyer may choose to burn MERITs that they have bought. This functionality is not available yet.
Transactions in MERIT tokens
5.15
A Landowner may choose to offer its MERIT tokens for sale on the Platform or to allow MERIT tokens to be allocated for monetary contributions by Contributors.
For making the above choice, the Landowner needs to submit respective instruction to Single.Earth on the Platform. The conditions of the instruction (e.g. the price, validity period of the instruction) are set out in the specific instruction. Single.Earth will execute the instruction at its discretion subject to the conditions attached to the specific instruction.
Landowner’s instruction is irrevocable and irreversible by the Landowner from the moment Single.Earth has reserved MERIT tokens for a specific purchase transaction or allocated them for a monetary contribution.
5.16
A Buyer may initiate a purchase of MERIT tokens by entering respective instruction on the Platform. The conditions of the instruction (e.g. the price, payment deadline) are set out in the specific instruction. Single.Earth will execute the instruction at its discretion subject to the conditions attached to the specific instruction.
5.17
Single.Earth can execute a purchase instruction only provided that the Buyer meets the conditions of the instruction and there is a sufficient number of MERITs offered for sale by Landowners. Single.Earth will execute instructions in the order that they were received.
There is no assurance that an efficient and liquid market will develop for MERITs. There is also no assurance regarding the value of a MERIT.
5.18
A purchase is a transaction between a Landowner and a Buyer and it is deemed as concluded when the Buyer has paid the full purchase price to Single.Earth. A contribution is deemed as made when the Contributor has paid the contribution amount to Single.Earth.
Any transfer of MERITs and money in the Wallets is unconditional, irrevocable and irreversible from the moment of completion of the transfer. This means that you will not be able to cancel an already completed transaction.
5.19
Single.Earth will arrange the transfer of purchased MERIT tokens to the Token Wallet of the Buyer and transfer of the purchase price, less any fees and taxes, where applicable, to the Landowner.
In case the MERITs are allocated to the contribution by a Contributor, Single.Earth will arrange the Burning of the tokens and transfer of the contribution amount, less any fees and taxes, where applicable, to the Landowner.
No transfer or Burn of MERITs shall occur without confirmation of money transfer.
5.20
At the initial phase, Buyers can only purchase MERIT tokens and no re-sale can be initiated.
