IMPORTANT: Part 2 applies only to You if You are accessing the KikeAI Chatbot as an individual user for the purpose of participating in the vCRM Carbon Program (a beneficiary seeking LPG cookstove benefits). If You are accessing the Service for any other purpose (a Business Partner, visitor to the website, or user of other KikeAI services), Part 2 does not apply to You. However, Your use of the Service is still governed by Part 1.

A. Definitions for Part 2

Program Operators: FuelTree, and any other entity designated by Kike Technology Inc. to operate the vCRM Carbon Program.
Carbon Credit: A tradable certificate representing the verified reduction of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) achieved through your displacement of traditional biomass (firewood/kerosene/charcoal/sawdust) with LPG, BioGel or Electric under the Program.
Baseline Data: Information collected about your historical cooking practices (e.g., type of fuel used, weekly consumption, collection methods) before receiving an LPG, BioGel or Electric stove. This data is required to calculate emission reductions.
kMRV (Kike Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification): The digital system used to collect, store, and report anonymized and aggregated data on stove usage, fuel consumption, and continued adoption for the purpose of carbon credit verification.

A.1 CONSENT AND CARBON WAIVER

You are duly authorised to represent the Recipient (whether a household, business or institution) and understand that the Recipient will receive one or more LPG cylinders and cookstoves ("LPG Kit") for use at its premises from Carbon Credit Network Africa. ("CCN Africa"), acting as project developer, and that the Recipient is being onboarded into the programme through the Kike AI platform.

The Recipient confirms that it does not currently use LPG as its primary cooking or thermal energy source, and that it will use the LPG Kit voluntarily to replace, in whole or in part, its existing use of traditional fuels.

The Recipient hereby transfers and waives all and any rights in connection with greenhouse gas emission reductions or other environmental, social or carbon-related attributes generated by the supply, installation, refilling and use of the LPG Kit to CCN Africa, acting as project developer on behalf, and for the benefit, of its principals, and understands that CCN Africa may, at any time, transfer those rights to one of its principals or to any other party without further notice or consent. The Recipient acknowledges that it has no claim to any revenue, credit or benefit arising from such attributes.

The Recipient consents to the collection, processing and use of its personal and operational information - including registration details, location, LPG purchase and refill transactions, cylinder movement records, stove usage and metering data, and information collected during monitoring visits and surveys - by CCN Africa, its principals, and their respective agents, service providers, auditors and validation and verification bodies, for the purposes of the programme, including disclosure of such information to third parties, and including transfer outside Nigeria where required for verification, issuance or registry purposes.

The Recipient acknowledges that it has the right to object to the collection or processing of this data, and to access, correct or update it in future, by contacting hello@ccnafrica.com at +2349019777732, in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

The Recipient confirms that this agreement has been explained to it in a language it understands, that participation is voluntary, that no payment has been demanded in exchange for the carbon attributes waived above, and that it may withdraw from the programme at any time without penalty, subject to the terms governing the LPG Kit and cylinder deposit.

Collect necessary data to generate verified carbon credits.
Distribute a share of carbon credit revenues back to the Program and community (e.g., subsidies, Green Ambassador stipends, community projects).

You agree to allow a vCRM representative (e.g., Green Ambassador) to conduct a one-time physical verification of your baseline data if required.

C. Data Rights for Carbon Program Compliance

C.1 Your Ownership of Personal Data

You retain ownership of your personal information.

You waive any claim to direct ownership, revenue, or intellectual property rights over the carbon credits generated from your participation.

You acknowledge that actual carbon credit generation depends on successful verification by the Verra/Gold Standard and may be lower than estimated due to changes in methodology, monitoring results, or market conditions.

To the maximum extent permitted by Nigerian or an host country law, the Company and Program Operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your participation or inability to participate in the Program, including loss of anticipated carbon revenue, savings, or health benefits.
