Terms of Use

1. Nature of this service

Verdeluxus is a work of expressive commentary and digital art satirizing the voluntary carbon-offset and "conscience offset" economy. By accessing it you acknowledge that nothing on the site constitutes a real offer to sell offsets, carbon credits, indulgences, environmental benefits, or any other good or service.

2. No transactions, no offsets

The Site processes no payments and sells nothing. References to "prices," "checkout," "subscriptions," "Conscience Balance," verification "standards," and "Certificates of Guilt Neutralization" are part of the satirical depiction and confer no goods, services, environmental benefit, or legal effect whatsoever.

3. No environmental, financial, or legal advice

Nothing here is environmental, scientific, financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Depictions of offsets, "impact," and certification are fictional and must not be relied upon for any decision.

4. Certificates are decorative

Any "Certificate of Guilt Neutralization" generated by the Site is a satirical novelty. It certifies nothing, represents no carbon reduction or credit, and has no monetary, legal, or environmental value.

5. User-generated content

Listings, profiles, and reviews submitted by users are user-generated. You represent that any "offset project" you describe is hypothetical or your own creative work, that you hold rights to any media you upload, and that you will not use the Site to facilitate fraud, deceptive environmental claims (greenwashing) presented as genuine, or any unlawful activity. Verdeluxus does not verify submissions.

6. Disclaimer of warranties & liability

The Site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verdeluxus disclaims liability for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site.

7. Governing law & contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Send legal correspondence and DMCA notices to the contact identified on the About page.
