Terms of use

ESG by ZYT calculates greenhouse gas emissions from figures you supply, and produces reports aligned to the GRI Standards. Calculations follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, using published emission factors whose source and vintage are recorded against every figure.

Every number in your report comes from data you or your colleagues enter. We do not verify it, and we cannot: we have no access to your meters, bills or operations. A calculation from wrong inputs is wrong, however carefully it is performed.

Where a figure is missing we record it as an exclusion and say so in the report. We never estimate a value to make a total look complete.

Reports produced here are self-reported and not externally assured. They are not an audit, a certification, or a limited or reasonable assurance engagement under ISAE 3000 or ISAE 3410. If your customer, regulator or lender requires assurance, you will need an accredited third party, and we make no representation that our output satisfies any particular scheme.

Nothing here is legal, financial, tax or regulatory advice. Reporting obligations differ by jurisdiction, sector and size, and determining what applies to you is your responsibility.

Where a report states that it is prepared in accordance with or with reference to the GRI Standards, that claim is derived from the completeness of your own disclosures — it is never selected by you or by us. A report will not assert more than the underlying data supports.

Accounts are created by ZYT. Keep your password confidential and tell us promptly if you believe it has been compromised. You are responsible for activity under your account, including data entered by colleagues you invite through a collection link.

Collection links grant access to one section of one reporting period and expire after 30 days. Treat them as you would any credential: anyone holding the link can submit figures for that section.

We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, and will give reasonable notice of material changes where we can.

This clause is deliberately a cap rather than a blanket exclusion. Under Singapore’s Unfair Contract Terms Act a term limiting business liability only binds so far as it is reasonable, and a clause that tries to exclude everything is more likely to be struck down in its entirety than one that accepts a real, proportionate limit. We would rather owe you something certain than rely on a clause that may not survive.

What we do not limit at all. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Singapore law.

What we do not accept. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or for a decision you or a third party took on the basis of a figure produced by the service. Figures are calculated from data you supply, which we cannot verify.

The cap. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the service, whether in contract, tort including negligence, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or S$100. Where you use a free part of the service — the quick carbon footprint, the public pages — that part is provided as it stands and without charge, and the S$100 floor is the limit.

Your data stays yours. The figures you enter, the narratives you write and the reports produced from them belong to you. You grant us only the licence needed to run the service: to store, process and display that data in order to calculate figures, produce your reports and support you.

The software stays ours. ESG by ZYT, its emission factor registry, its calculation engine and its interface remain the property of ZYT Pte. Ltd.. Using the service does not transfer any of it to you.

We do not train on your data or sell it. We may publish aggregate statistics that cannot identify you or your business — for instance the number of businesses in a sector that have completed an inventory. Nothing that identifies you is disclosed without your instruction.

Do not use the service to break the law, to attempt to reach another organisation’s data, to probe or disrupt the service, to scrape it in bulk, or to resell it as your own product without a written agreement with us. Consultants acting for clients through an engagement are expected and welcome — that is a supported use, not a breach of this clause.

Do not present a figure as something it is not. In particular, a quick carbon footprint is a screening estimate with a stated boundary, and presenting one as a full inventory or as assured is a misuse of it.

You may stop using the service at any time and ask us to close your account.

We may suspend or terminate access where these terms are breached, where fees go unpaid, or where we are required to. Except where the breach makes it impossible, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right.

On termination you can take your data with you. Ask us within 30 days of the account closing and we will provide your inventory data and your reports in a machine-readable form. After that, retention follows the periods set out in the privacy notice.

We may change these terms. The date at the top of this page always shows when they last changed, and we will give account holders reasonable notice by email of any change that materially affects their rights before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the change; if you do not, you may close your account.

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply and that part is limited only as far as necessary. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over this business, on notice to you.

A person who is not a party to these terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001 to enforce any of them.

These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction.
