Welcome to Cora, an educational AI assistant for the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) developed as part of a research project. By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Cora is designed to educate users about methodologies, projects, and complex topics related to carbon markets through interactive AI-powered conversations and comprehensive educational resources.

This service is provided as a research preview. The AI-powered features may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate responses. You should not rely solely on the information provided for making financial, legal, or business decisions.

We make no warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information provided through this platform.

You agree not to use this service for:

• Any illegal, harmful, violent, racist, sexual, or other offensive purposes
• Sharing personal, sensitive, or confidential information
• Attempting to manipulate or exploit the AI systems

We adhere to data minimization principles. Your chat history and conversations are stored locally on your device, not on our servers. We do not require user accounts, nor do we collect personal identifiers such as IP addresses or location data. We may analyze anonymized, aggregated usage data to improve our service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

To maintain reliability and diagnose performance issues, we use Sentry to capture anonymized error, tracing, and performance telemetry. Console logs forwarded to Sentry are limited to warnings and errors, and default PII collection is disabled. For details about what is collected, refer to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

This service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of this service, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
