Although only projects are selected, whose operators are considered trustworthy, a certain success cannot be guaranteed with the garbage cleaning by Life registered association. Should it turn out during the examination that a project is not able to remove the plastic garbage from the ocean, as agreed upon, the Life e.V. will be informed. Your donation will be used for another environmental project. In order to avoid bad investments, Life e.V. concludes suitable legal contracts with the project operators. Life e.V. reserves the right to withdraw funding for projects that do not meet their monitoring or other contractual obligations.
If, due to unforeseen obstacles such as increasing project costs with the amount paid by the donor less marketing and administration costs, the removal of ocean-bound plastic, in the quantity specified by the donor or to the standards specified above, is not possible due to the amount paid by the donor, Life e.V. will take appropriate measures from an environmental point of view and report on these in the annual reports.
Life e.V. will publish an overview of the total donations received and the resulting waste disposal at regular intervals, at least in its annual report. On request, it shall grant access to the test certificates for the actually cleaned plastic waste volume from the ocean. There are no further claims for information regarding individual business transactions.
