Terms of Service

Welcome and thank you ("User" or "You") for visiting. Inferknow products and services, including the Inferknow Green web browser plugin, the Inferknow Green Facebook Application, and the Inferknow website ("products and services"), all of which are provided by Inferknow LLC ("Inferknow," "Company," "We," or "Us"), are governed by these Terms. By installing and/or using Inferknow products and services, You consent to these terms and the terms in our Privacy Policy. If You do not agree with these terms of service, please do not use Inferknow products and services.

Changes to Terms

Inferknow reserves the right to change or modify any of these terms and conditions at any time. Your continued use of the products and services following the posting of changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you have any question regarding the products or services, please contact customer.service@inferknow.com.

How it Works

You agree that by installing and using the Inferknow Green browser extension, You authorize Us to replace the ads that appear on the webpages you visit with other content, including other ads. Inferknow agrees that it will administer relations with advertisers on your behalf and use ad revenues it collects to purchase carbon credits to offset your computer's entire carbon footprint.

You agree to allow Us to record Your click trail. You agree to allow Us to utilize Your click trail information pursuant to our privacy policy, for the purpose of customizing the set of ads we show you on the webpages you visit.

If You install and use the Inferknow Green web browser extension, Inferknow Green will offset Your computer's carbon footprint based on a calculation of an average desktop computer's carbon emissions. Your computer's actual carbon footprint will almost certainly be smaller than the offsets We provide, however in some rare cases it may be larger. Any excess offsets We provide may be counted against Your other carbon emissions (for example from your car), however we do not claim or guarantee to offset your other carbon emissions. You further understand that Inferknow only purchases Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs) or Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) to offset your computer's carbon footprint, and we purchase them quarterly in January, April, July, and October.

You understand that the Green client software you are installing automatically updates its operating data on a periodic basis. It does this to insure you the very best user experience possible. The updating feature retrieves only Green-related data updates from an Inferknow data server, including:

The Green software client employs standard web technologies to retrieve these data, including HTTP. These standard technologies may be vulnerable to malicious attack. For example, a hacker could launch a denial-of-service attack against our data server, which could prevent the Green client from retrieving data updates in a timely manner. Or, a hacker could spoof our data server, in which case the Green client could download erroneous and/or malicious data to your computer. You understand and agree that we are not liable for any damages caused if our updating feature is disrupted or otherwise broken by a malicious attack.

Privacy

Your privacy is extremely important to us. Our mission is to help people control the information they consume and the information that represents them, and privacy is a key part of that mission. Please see our Privacy Policy.
