Terms of use & risk disclosure

Last updated: DD MONTH 2026

1. About this website

This website is operated by CarbonHedge FZCO, a free zone company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with registered address ADDRESS LINE 1, FREE ZONE NAME, Dubai, UAE, and licence number LICENCE NO. By accessing the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

2. Regulatory status

CarbonHedge FZCO holds a commercial trade licence issued by FREE ZONE AUTHORITY for the activities stated on that licence. CarbonHedge FZCO is not authorised or regulated as a financial services firm by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority, the Central Bank of the UAE, or any equivalent authority in another jurisdiction, and does not hold itself out as such.

Accordingly, we do not provide investment advice, portfolio management, or any regulated financial service, and we do not deal with retail clients. Our services are offered only to professional and corporate counterparties, and only in jurisdictions in which they may lawfully be offered without authorisation. Nothing on this site is directed at any person in a jurisdiction where its publication or availability would be contrary to local law.

3. No advice, no offer

All content on this website is published for general information only. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. It is not, and must not be construed as:

  • investment, legal, tax or accounting advice;
  • a personal recommendation to enter into any transaction;
  • an offer, solicitation or invitation to buy or sell any financial instrument, commodity, emission allowance, certificate or carbon credit;
  • a forecast, guarantee or indication of achievable prices or outcomes.

You should obtain independent professional advice before entering into any transaction.

4. Risk disclosure

Trading and hedging in commodities, environmental products and derivatives involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every organisation. In particular:

  • Price risk. Prices of emission allowances, carbon credits, energy, metals and freight are volatile and can move sharply and without warning.
  • Leverage. Derivative positions may require margin. Losses can exceed the amount initially committed and additional funds may be required at short notice.
  • Regulatory risk. Compliance schemes change. Scope, allocation, eligibility criteria and surrender obligations may be amended, and such changes can materially affect the value and usability of an instrument.
  • Liquidity risk. Some environmental products and bespoke structures trade thinly. It may not be possible to close or transfer a position at a desired time or price.
  • Basis risk. A hedge referenced to an index or benchmark may not move in line with your underlying exposure, and may increase rather than reduce volatility.
  • Counterparty and settlement risk. Over-the-counter transactions expose you to the performance of your counterparty, and registry transfers depend on third-party systems.
  • Eligibility risk. A credit or certificate may cease to be eligible for a given compliance purpose, or a claim based on it may be challenged.

Past performance and historical price behaviour are not a reliable indicator of future results. Any figures, charts or examples on this site are illustrative and do not represent actual transactions or achievable prices.

5. Accuracy and availability

We take reasonable care to ensure that information on this site is accurate when published, but we give no warranty that it is complete, current or free from error. Regulatory timelines in particular are summarised and simplified. We may change or withdraw content at any time and are not obliged to update it. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the site.

6. Third-party links

Where this site links to third-party websites, those links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices.

7. Intellectual property

All content on this site, including text, graphics, layout and the CarbonHedge name and logo, is owned by CarbonHedge FZCO or used under licence. You may view and print pages for your own internal business use. Any other reproduction, distribution or commercial use requires our prior written consent.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CarbonHedge FZCO, its directors, employees and agents exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the content of this website, including indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business or loss of opportunity. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates, and the courts of GOVERNING COURTS shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
