General terms and conditions

This is a draft version. The terms and conditions will be finalised before the launch of the paid service.

1. Who are we?

esgia.eu is a service of Point2Create BV, KvK 63324547. These terms and conditions apply to any use of the website and the service.

2. What we provide — and what we do not

We assess the sustainability questions you receive against the voluntary EU standard for unlisted SMEs, build an ESG file on your instruction from the data you provide, and answer your questionnaire from it or prepare a baseline report in line with that standard. With every outcome we state the source and the reference date.

This is expressly not legal advice and not sustainability advice, and it is not an audit, not assurance, not a certificate and not a mark of conformity: no advisory relationship is created, we do not assess your business operations and we give no guarantee that a customer, bank or other party will accept our report. There is no body that recognises these reports.

The outcome of the capcheck is an indication based on the text you provide. Whether you actually refuse a question, and with what consequences for your business relationship, is your own decision; we are not a party to your contract with your customer. We mark a question as refusable only when we can point to that in the standard — in case of doubt it says "not certain".

The data and documents you provide remain yours. You warrant that you may provide them and that they are accurate; we work with them as you confirm them.

3. Due diligence and errors

We endeavour to present information accurately, up to date and with source attribution, and check every text before publication. Standards, directives and emission factors change, however; completeness or accuracy cannot therefore be guaranteed. This is why every figure includes the factor set used, the source and the reference date — so you can verify it at the source. If you spot an error, please report it; we will amend the text or take it offline.

4. Subscription and payment

You pay the entry fee once; a subscription runs per month or per year and can be terminated at the end of the term. This is a business service: all prices are exclusive of VAT. For business customers outside the Netherlands with a valid VAT identification number, VAT is reverse charged.

5. Use of content

The texts on this platform are protected by copyright. Automated and large-scale copying (scraping) or commercial reuse is not permitted without written consent. The underlying standards and directives are public and remain freely accessible via EUR-Lex; your own file and the answers drawn up from it are yours and you may use them without restriction.

6. Liability

We are not liable for damage arising from decisions you make based on the information, nor for indirect damage or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms and conditions limits liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including liability for intent or gross negligence.

7. Applicable law

Dutch law applies to these terms and conditions. If you have a complaint, please let us know first via office@esgia.eu; if we cannot resolve it together, you may turn to the competent Dutch court.
