These IEA Additional Terms apply to (a) any direct customer of Climatiq and (b) any end customer of a Climatiq SaaS Partner or Consulting Partner, in each case to the extent such customer accesses or uses any Climatiq product or feature that incorporates or relies on IEA Factors licensed by Climatiq (the "Products").
"IEA Factors" means any emission factor or indicator value sourced from the IEA, but excluding (a) any material that the IEA has made publicly available under a Creative Commons licence and (b) any material that Climatiq makes available subject to separate dataset-specific additional terms. For clarity, IEA Factors do not include the CBAM dataset to the extent it is made available under a Creative Commons licence or separate dataset-specific terms.
Each such customer (the "Customer") will abide by the following additional terms and conditions (the "IEA Additional Terms") with respect to Customer’s access to and use of the IEA Factors (defined above). If there is any conflict between these IEA Additional Terms and any other terms governing Customer’s access to the Products these IEA Additional Terms shall control, except that (a) any such other terms that are more restrictive of Customer's use of the IEA Factors shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency; and (b) additional rights may be granted to Customer only by an order form or other written agreement that expressly refers to these IEA Additional Terms.
These IEA Additional Terms are incorporated into the agreement governing Customer’s access to the Products, and the governing law and jurisdiction provisions of that agreement apply to these IEA Additional Terms; provided, however that Climatiq and the International Energy Agency, an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (the "IEA") may bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of relating to these IEA Additional Terms in the courts of Germany, and the Customer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for such purposes.
- Limited Right to Use, Publish, and Disclose
- Customer is only permitted to:
- Use the Products to calculate Customer's own emissions and carbon footprint ("Permitted Use");
- Disclose, solely for the purposes of mandatory emissions reporting (e.g., to CDP) and/or audits ("Permitted Disclosure") and only to the extent required by the relevant reporting or auditing entity, a PDF report provided by Climatiq, Climatiq SaaS Partner, or Climatiq Consulting Partner containing only the specific IEA Factors (if any) that are strictly necessary to support Customer’s own emissions calculations. Any such disclosure must be limited to the relevant reporting or auditing entity and its professional advisers involved in that reporting or audit (subject to confidentiality obligations).
- Publish, in its annual and/or sustainability reports, "Calculated Results," meaning emissions estimates, footprints, scores, mappings or other outputs generated using the IEA Factors, in each case relating to Customer's own emissions and provided they cannot be used to derive any IEA Factor by back-calculation, reverse engineering or otherwise ("Permitted Publishing");
- A direct customer of Climatiq may incorporate Calculated Results of its own emissions, provided they cannot be used to derive any IEA Factor by back-calculation, reverse engineering or otherwise, into its internal online platforms and applications ("Permitted Internal Use").
- The Permitted Use and Permitted Disclosure described above are limited to the specific IEA Factors (and no others) relevant to Customer’s own emissions calculations. No rights are granted to use IEA Factors for the benefit of, or to provide services to, any third party.
- Customer’s Permitted Use of the IEA Factors and Permitted Disclosure shall terminate when Customer’s subscription to the Products is terminated or expires, or when Customer’s right to access the Products via a Climatiq partner ends (as applicable). Calculated Results generated during the period of Customer's authorised access may be retained, used and published in accordance with these IEA Additional Terms after that access ends.
- Restrictions and Customer Obligations
- Customer is not permitted to view, access, download, use, disclose, publish, modify, compile, or export any or all of IEA Factors in any format whatsoever; except for the Permitted Use, and Permitted Disclosure described above;
- Customer is not permitted to disclose or disseminate any IEA Factors to any third parties other than the Permitted Disclosure described above.
- Customer is not permitted to reproduce the IEA Factors in reports issued to the public, including without limitation, in any of Customer’s annual reports.
- Customer may only use the Products for the calculation of Customer’s own emissions and carbon footprint and not for any other purpose or use.
- In Permitted Publishing or Permitted Internal Use, Customer must present Calculated Results at a level of aggregation, or omit the corresponding activity data, sufficient to prevent recovery of individual IEA Factors.
- Customer is not permitted to derive, or attempt to derive, any IEA Factors from any Calculated Results or any other output of the Products, whether by back-calculation, reverse engineering or otherwise, and must not permit or enable any third party to do so.
- Customer is not permitted to use the IEA Factors or any Calculated Results to create, compile or make available any dataset that is substantially similar to, or that could constitute a substitute for, the IEA Factors, or to calibrate, benchmark or verify any other emission factors.
- Customer must not use the IEA logo or emblem without the IEA's prior written consent. Customer must not use the IEA Factors or Associated Material, link to them, or mention the IEA name, in a way that suggests that the IEA approves, participates in, is connected, affiliated or associated with, sponsors, or otherwise endorses Customer, Customer's entity or Customer's use of the IEA Factors.
- Ownership and Attribution
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) IEA has expended significant resources gathering, assembling and compiling information and data within the IEA Factors and producing the IEA Factors; (b) the IEA Factors are the valuable property of the IEA or its licensors; and (c) the IEA or its licensors retain copyright, database rights and any other applicable intellectual property rights in the IEA Factors, despite any licences granted to Customer under these IEA Additional Terms. Nothing in these IEA Additional Terms transfers to Customer any ownership or proprietary rights in any IEA Factors.
- If Customer reproduces any Calculated Result, IEA Factor or "Associated Material", meaning any metadata, notes, disclaimers or other descriptive material sourced from the IEA and accompanying the IEA Factors, Customer must attribute IEA and any stated co-authors with the following notice:
- For non-data excerpts of IEA Factors (e.g. text excerpts): Source: IEA [/co-author(s) if any] (year), [Title], All rights reserved. Example: Source: IEA (2025) Oil Market Report – September 2025. All rights reserved.
- Any notes appearing beneath the IEA Factors Customer wishes to reproduce, if relevant, should be included as they appear in the original IEA Factors.
- If Customer reproduces any references to specific countries or territories from the IEA Factors Customer must not remove any disclaimer that accompanies the reference.
- For numerical data that is presented in aggregated, graphical or derived formats, including Calculated Results, include the following notice: Based on IEA data from IEA (year) [Title of IEA database], IEA [/co- author(s) if any] (year), https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics, All rights reserved; as modified by [your legal entity name]. Example: Based on IEA data from the IEA (2025) Monthly Oil Data Service, https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics. All rights reserved; as modified by [you].
- Climatiq has modified the IEA Factors in most cases, Customer must clearly include the mention: “as modified by Climatiq Technologies GmbH” in any attribution.
- If Customer modifies the IEA Factors in any way, Customer must clearly include the mention: “as modified by [your legal entity name]”.
- Customer is permitted to rearrange (but not remove) the various components of the above notices in order to comply with sourcing requirements that may apply to Customer.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the attribution requirements set forth above are general in nature and are in no way intended to broaden Customer’s Permitted Use as described above, or limit the restrictions placed on Customer in Section 2 above.
- Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability
- IEA provides the IEA Factors on an "as is" and "as available" basis. IEA’s goal is to keep the IEA Factors accurate and complete, but it makes no representations, guarantees or warranties (express, implied or otherwise) of any kind concerning the IEA Factors, including, without limitation, no warranties of satisfactory quality, availability, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, merchantability, up-to-datedness, title or against infringement of the proprietary or other rights of third parties. Similarly, the third-party licensors of content within the IEA Factors that are sourced to them do not make any warranties about their content; such content is also provided on an “as is” basis. IEA reserves its right to change, update or discontinue in any way part or all of the IEA Factors or change any release times or dates, without notice or any liability.
- IEA Factors are not intended to be and should not be relied upon by Customer in making (or refraining from making) any decisions. The OECD, the IEA, Climatiq, Climatiq’s partners and their third-party licensors shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to Customer for any loss, damage, liability or expense incurred or suffered (including all loss of profit, loss of use, loss of revenue, loss of contracts, increased costs and expenses and all special, indirect and consequential losses) which is claimed to result from access (or lack of access) to, use of, or reliance on, the IEA Factors and any content in the IEA Factors sourced to third parties, including without limitation, from any fault, error, omission, interruption or delay in such respect. Use of the IEA Factors and any content in the IEA Factors sourced to third parties is at the Customer’s sole risk.
- Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the OECD, the IEA, Climatiq, Climatiq’s partners and their auxiliary persons, and the IEA’s third-party licensors from and against any and all loss, including loss of reputation, loss of data and loss of revenue, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other claims, actions, damages and costs occasioned to, or suffered by, any of the foregoing resulting from Customer’s use of any IEA Factors and any content in the IEA Factors sourced to third parties.
- Nothing in these IEA Additional Terms shall constitute or be considered to be a limitation upon or a waiver of the privileges and immunities that may apply to the OECD and the IEA, all of which are specifically reserved.
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CLIMATIQ’S OR IEA’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE IEA FACTORS EXCEED €100.
- Additional Terms
- Customer acknowledges that the IEA publishes the IEA's Terms of Use for Non-CC Material dated 4 March 2025 (the "IEA Online Terms"), currently available at https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/90f805f0-47d6-4302-a058-81530ab109ca/TermsofUseforNon-CCMaterial-4March2025.pdf. Customer agrees that its access to and use of any IEA Factors via the Products is permitted only as expressly set out in these IEA Additional Terms, and Customer must not use the IEA Factors in any manner that would be inconsistent with the restrictions reflected in the IEA Online Terms. For clarity, Customer does not receive any licence directly from IEA under the IEA Online Terms, and nothing in these IEA Additional Terms grants Customer any rights in the IEA Factors except as expressly stated herein.
- Climatiq and IEA are intended third-party beneficiaries of these IEA Additional Terms and may enforce them directly. Any Climatiq SaaS Partner or Consulting Partner that provides access to the Products to an end customer is also an intended third-party beneficiary of these IEA Additional Terms and may enforce them directly, solely with respect to breaches by such end customer (or its users) relating to the Products.
- Customer acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of these IEA Additional Terms relating to the Products, including any unauthorized disclosure, reverse engineering or reconstruction (or attempted reconstruction) of the IEA Factors, creation or distribution of substantially replicative outputs, or removal or obscuring of proprietary notices, may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, Climatiq and IEA (and their respective licensors, as applicable) and any Climatiq SaaS Partner or Consulting Partner that provides access to the Products to the applicable end customer are each entitled to seek immediate injunctive and/or other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of posting bond or proving that monetary damages would be sufficient, in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
- Sections 2, 3 and 4 shall survive for so long as Customer retains or uses any Calculated Results, IEA Factors, or Associated Material.
