Who we are and why a Terms & conditions document is necessary

We are Papertale, a Blockchain based company offering THE ultimate technology solution for brands looking to provide complete transparency to consumers surrounding their products. We want to change the nature of production and consumerism, and alongside our backing of PaperTellers this is definitely possible; Generally we don’t like rules, however in this process to change we do have some set terms that you need to understand and agree to. This document will detail our terms for using our services, including a description of what our services are. 

We sincerely hope that everything in here is clear, but should there be any doubt then don’t hesitate to contact customer services here:

Our services 

In this section we will list and describe what the different services PaperTale offer are:

The PaperTale consumers’ app, the PaperTale webshop and the PaperTale website are the consumer facing services provided by PaperTale. All of these services are covered by the PaperTale Terms & Conditions document (the one you are reading). 

The PaperTale consumers’ app : As a consumer, this app offers the ability to scan a “PaperTaled” item of clothing and see it’s full product journey stage by stage right from the growth of the raw material (cotton in the case of the PaperTale merchandise T-shirts) all the way to its assembly. You will also be able to see the impact journey of the product (ie how much CO2 and water is produced at each stage) and have the option to compensate this impact for free via the Papertale compensation program (it is included in the price of the product). The app also offers full traceability of the compensation program so you may see exactly where and when the money has been sent. See more about exactly what our compensation program is here. Our app can also offer countless other things, like the ability for you to see exactly which people worked on your garment along with verification that they are an appropriate age and are being paid at least minimum wage. The best thing is that this description will be continually changing given that we will constantly be updating and improving our app and the services it offers. 

PLEASE NOTE, to be able to use the app you must register an account. For the scanning you must either have an NFC tag in your phone (most modern phones will) or permit the app access to your camera in the case that you have an older phone that doesn’t have an NFC tag. More details about how to scan on different phones can be found on the website and in the information contained with the product when you receive it.    

The webshop : This service provided by PaperTale allows you to view and  purchase PaperTale merchandise. This webshop should always have up to date product availability info but in the case it doesn’t and an order is placed when stock has sold out we will offer a full refund. There are also chatbots and customer service details in case you need help with anything. 

The website : This service provided by PaperTale contains up to date information about the Papertale and our product, this includes what exactly our product does, how to use our product, the PaperTale compensation program, any companies we are partnered with and any future ambitions that PaperTale has. 

The overall terms

Scanning the tag and then deciding not to keep the product 

PLEASE DO NOT SCAN THE TAG IF YOU ARE DEBATING OR KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO RETURN THE PRODUCT.  

If you scan the tag and then you decide to return the garment we will still give you a free return and refund. However we will be selling this top on to charity shops as a second hand garment, so by signing these terms and conditions you are agreeing to your name (and only your name) being visible in the product journey for the next person who buys this garment. 

Inappropriate use 

If you are deemed to be using any of our services described inappropriately then we may terminate your account and access at any point without notice. 

Termination of your account 

We are happy to admit that we are currently working on a way of deleting users’ information if requested without affecting other records (as, given the nature of our technology once information is in the blockchain it cannot be changed). However if deletion wouldn’t be possible, we’ll anonymize it in order to still comply with users requests. 

PLEASE NOTE, the only scenario we may not be able to do this is if we have to retain your data based on a legal or governmental request.

For further information on your rights and choices, please see our privacy policy. 

We may also terminate your account at any time if we feel the need, however this would only be in the scenario where severe misconduct has occurred.
