Symbiosis RFX Supplier Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 16 March 2026

These Symbiosis RFX Supplier Terms and Conditions (the “Symbiosis RFX T&Cs”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Abatable that govern your participation in any request for proposal, request for information, tender or similar procurement process conducted via the Abatable Platform on behalf of the Symbiosis Coalition (each, a “Symbiosis RFX”).

By submitting any response or information in connection with a Symbiosis RFX on behalf, in representation of or as part of a business entity, you agree to these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs on behalf of that business entity and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, "Supplier", “you” or “your” will refer to that business entity.

1. Relationship with General Supplier Terms

You and any other suppliers using the Abatable Platform are subject to Abatable’s Supplier Tools Terms and Conditions (the “General Supplier T&Cs”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the General Supplier T&Cs, these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs shall govern and apply to any Symbiosis RFX and any supplier response, submission or participation in such Symbiosis RFX, including yours.

In respect of any Symbiosis RFX, these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs override and supersede the General Supplier T&Cs to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency. To the extent that there is no conflict or inconsistency, the General Supplier T&Cs shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect. All definitions set out in the General Supplier T&Cs shall apply to these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs, unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires.

The General Supplier T&Cs shall continue to apply in full force and effect to all other use of the Platform and any procurement process not conducted on behalf of Symbiosis RFX.

2. Definitions

  • “Symbiosis” means Symbiosis Coalition, a 501(c)(4) incorporated under the laws of the United States.
  • “Analyses” means any analyses, methodologies, processes or procedures of general applicability to Abatable in the general conduct of its business created by Abatable utilising, in part, Supplier Data and information derived from your use of the Platform but not including any Supplier Data or Supplier Materials which would identify or make you identifiable.
  • “Symbiosis RFX Data” means the subset of Supplier Data that is submitted by or on behalf of a Supplier solely in response to a Symbiosis RFX.

3. Costs and Commission

All costs incurred by you in respect of your participation in the Platform, and any costs associated with your negotiation and documenting of sales of carbon credits to buyers introduced via the Platform, are your sole responsibility.

For the avoidance of doubt, Abatable does not charge any fees or commissions to Suppliers in connection with participation in, or submission of responses to, any Symbiosis RFX.


4. Your content

You shall own all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Supplier Data, including all Symbiosis RFX Data; (b) the Derived Data; (c) any registered and unregistered trademarks used by you; and (d) all IPRs therein.

You agree that you will only Share Supplier Data that you have the right and authority to Share and for which you have the right and authority to grant to Abatable the licences and rights expressly set out in this agreement.

You further acknowledge and agree that all Supplier Data submitted by you will be stored on the Platform and made accessible to Abatable. You grant to Abatable, a non-transferable, non-sub- licensable, non-exclusive right to collect, use and analyse data and other information, including the Symbiosis RFX Data and Derived Data, relating to running of a Symbiosis RFX and provision of any other services to Symbiosis.

Symbiosis RFX Data submitted by you in response to a Symbiosis RFX shall only be made accessible, whether via the Platform or otherwise, to Symbiosis. Symbiosis RFX Data may also be shared with Abatable’s or Symbiosis’ third party service providers solely to the extent necessary to enable platform integrations or to obtain ancillary services in connection with the services provided to Symbiosis, provided that such third parties are subject to confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set out in this agreement.

To the extent that you provide or otherwise communicate any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or otherwise provide feedback on the Platform (collectively, “Comments”), you hereby grant to Abatable a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, perpetual, unrestricted license to use and/or incorporate the Comments and all underlying ideas contained in the Comments into the Platform and create any derivative works thereof.

5. Abatable’s Intellectual Property

Abatable shall own and retain all IPRs in and to: (a) the Platform, and all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto; (b) any frameworks, software, applications, inventions or other materials or technology developed by Abatable; (c) all Materials; (d) all Analyses; (e) any registered and unregistered trademarks used by Abatable and not otherwise owned by the you or Symbiosis; and (f) all IPR related to any of the foregoing (all together, the “Content”). All IPRs not expressly granted under this agreement are reserved. All Content is provided on an "As Is" and "As Available" basis, and Abatable reserves the right to terminate the permissions granted to you under this agreement at any time.

You may download, store, display on your computer, view, listen to, play and print Materials subject to the following: (a) the Materials may be used solely for the purposes of using the Platform; (b) the Materials may not be redistributed.

6. Confidential Information

You and Abatable (each, a “Receiving Party”) understand that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose confidential business, technical or financial information relating to the Disclosing Party's business (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party). Confidential Information of Abatable includes non-public information regarding features, functionality, and performance of the Platform. Confidential Information of Supplier includes the Symbiosis RFX Data.

The Receiving Party agrees: (a) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information; and (b) not to use (except as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Confidential Information.

The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party is entitled to use and commercialise under the express terms of this agreement or can document: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through breach of this Agreement; or (b) was in its possession or known by it without restriction prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party; or (e) is required to be disclosed by law.

Both you and Abatable may disclose the other party's Confidential Information to the respective employees, officers, representatives, contractors, subcontractors or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of exercising the rights or carrying out the obligations under or in connection with this agreement. Each party shall ensure that its employees, officers, representatives, contractors, subcontractors or advisers to whom it discloses the other party's confidential information comply with this clause 6.

8. Liabilities and indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Abatable harmless (including its parent, subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees) from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of the breach of these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs (including the General Supplier T&Cs) or the documents they incorporate by reference, or the violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except for indemnification obligations and bodily injury of a person, neither party nor its suppliers (including but not limited to all equipment and technology suppliers), officers, affiliates, representatives, contractors and employees shall be responsible or liable with respect to any subject matter related to the Symbiosis RFX T&Cs, the General Supplier T&Cs, the Platform, third-party websites, or third-party content made available through the Platform, under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other theory: (a) for error or interruption of use or for loss or inaccuracy or corruption of data or cost of procurement of substitute goods, services or technology or loss of business; (b) for any indirect, exemplary, incidental, punitive, special or consequential damages (including loss profit, lost revenue and loss of data); (c) for any matter beyond such party's reasonable control; or (d) for any amounts that, together with amounts associated with all other claims, exceed the total of £1,000, in each case, whether or not such Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

This section applies to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law.

8. Changes and updates

Abatable reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs by posting updates and changes to Abatable’s website. It is your responsibility to check Abatable’s website periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the Platform following the posting of any changes to these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

9. Term and termination

Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this agreement shall come into force upon your acceptance as part of a submission to a Symbiosis RFX and shall continue in force unless and until terminated by you or Abatable. You may terminate this agreement at any time by notifying Abatable that you no longer wish to participate in any Symbiosis RFX Abatable may, in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice terminate this agreement and/or discontinue providing or limit access to, or use of, the Content; provided, Abatable shall not terminate these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs without cause while Symbiosis is a customer of Abatable. You agree that Abatable may, in the event you violate these Symbiosis RFX T&Cs, at any time and without notice, terminate or limit your access to, or use of, any Content.

In the event of termination of this agreement, you shall cease your participation in any Symbiosis RFX and, if the General Supplier T&Cs have also been terminated, all use of the Platform. Notwithstanding, Abatable may, at its sole discretion, allow you to complete any request for information or procurement process that was initiated prior to the date of termination of this agreement. All sections of this agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, intellectual property, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
