Platform role
Carbon Trader® provides an escrow-led marketplace for verified users to create spot NZU auction listings and funded buy requests. It is not a licensed exchange and does not provide financial, legal, tax, or emissions-compliance advice.
Terms of use
Terms for using the Carbon Trader® marketplace
These website terms set the platform position for users before final legal terms are adopted. They should be reviewed by New Zealand counsel before production reliance.
User responsibility
Users are responsible for the accuracy of their identity, business, ETS, bank, tax, and settlement information. Carbon Trader® may request supporting documents and restrict access where verification or conduct risk is identified.
Settlement
Trades may require NZD funding, NZU transfer, operational review, and release checks before completion. Timing can depend on banks, ETS processing, counterparties, and internal operations.
Custody wallet
Where the Carbon Trader® Wallet is used, wallet balances are intended to represent NZUs held in custody and backed 1:1 by NZUs held in the nominated ETS account. Withdrawal requests are subject to review.
Conduct
Users must not submit misleading listings, manipulate prices, collude, avoid settlement obligations, or use the platform for unlawful or improper activity.
