1. Nature of the Product and Symbolic Purchases

TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L. offers through its digital platform the symbolic purchase of “protected square meters”, a digital product of high environmental, educational, and symbolic value that directly funds the long-term conservation of vulnerable natural ecosystems in Costa Rica.

• NO REAL ESTATE TRANSFER: The symbolic purchase of “protected square meters” DOES NOT CONFER, TRANSFER, OR GRANT ANY PROPERTY TITLE, REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP, CO-OWNERSHIP, USAGE, LEASE, USUFRUCT, OR PHYSICAL POSSESSION RIGHTS over any physical land or real estate asset to the buyer.
• This commercial action represents a voluntary, symbolic partnership contribution to the environmental preservation, biological mitigation, and security custody programs managed directly by TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L.
• All physical land, plots, geographic coordinates, and forest properties remain under the absolute, unified legal ownership and public registry title of TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L. or its authorized local conservation partners within the territory of Costa Rica.

2. Commercial Catalog, Value Distribution, and Ecosystem Preservation Areas

EcoTrees focuses its direct biological conservation, technical mitigation, and anti-logging security efforts on approximately 30 hectares of highly biodiverse primary and secondary forests surrounding the Arenal Volcano National Park and the Lakure Private Biological Reserve in Costa Rica. Costa Rica holds approximately 6% of the world’s biodiversity, hosting over 500,000 unique species. Funds collected on this platform are strictly used to shield these specific zones against real estate speculation, commercial logging, poaching, and agricultural encroachment.

Our operational plans, sponsorship packages, and transaction pricing structures are defined as follows:

• Lakure Private Biological Reserve Plan: Symbolic sponsorship of targeted biological custody inside our primary rainforest reserve area. Price: $120.00 USD. Deliverables: Valid Digital Invoice, Eco-Certificate of Conservation, and platform Geolocation Access metrics.

3. Payment Processing, Gateways, and Billing Infrastructure

All prices displayed on the website are final and expressed in United States Dollars (USD). Payments made on https://ecotrees4life.com/ are securely routed through certified payment processing solutions integrated into our interface, including PayPal (operating under the strict international category of «Services») and alternative authorized international debit/credit card processors.

TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L. automatically issues a valid corporate digital invoice for every single confirmed transaction, complying with local fiscal frameworks. By completing the checkout flow, you warrant that all financial data provided is accurate, that the source of funds is entirely legal under anti-money laundering frameworks, and that you are an authorized holder of the payment instrument used.

4. Cancellation and Absolute No-Refund Policy

TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L. establishes a strict Final Sale Policy for all its digital services. All symbolic acquisitions and environmental sponsorships are final and entirely non-refundable due to the nature of our environmental allocation system. Upon confirmation, financial resources are instantly committed to active field monitoring, technical surveillance teams, structural maintenance of the reserves, and legal land protection agreements with local community partners.

The standard e-commerce 30-day physical return policies do not apply to this platform, as there is no physical package or commercial consumer product capable of being returned, repackaged, or depreciated. Once the Digital Certificate of Conservation has been generated and dispatched to the client’s verified email address, the service is legally deemed fully rendered.

Exceptions to this rule will only be evaluated if a technical error occurs during the digital processing flow, such as an unintended duplicate payment or an unrecognized transaction proven to be a platform malfunction. In any such case, the client must contact facturacion@ecotrees4life.com within a maximum of 48 hours to request a manual administrative review.

5. Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights

Unauthorized use, copying, reproduction, distribution, scraping, or modification of these marks, photographs, videos, biological databases, illustrations, text, or proprietary software constitutes a direct infringement of industrial and intellectual property rights and will be prosecuted under national and international criminal and civil laws.

Any legal dispute, claim, or controversy that cannot be settled amicably shall be permanently submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the civil and judicial courts of San José, Costa Rica, to which the parties expressly submit.

9. Legal Framework and Educational Appendix (Costa Rican Law Reference)

To ensure full transparency regarding why our model operates as a symbolic environmental service instead of a fractional property title, users can review the baseline parameters of Costa Rican legislation that apply to real estate and commercial structures:

• The National Public Property Registry: Governed by the Ministry of Justice and Peace of Costa Rica, it protects rights via specific territorial jurisdictions. Real estate properties require individual registry folios (fincas) to track legal history. EcoTrees lands are unified under corporate folios to ensure total ecosystem unity, preventing physical partition or destruction.

Corporate Governance: TREES FOR LIFE S.R.L. is registered under the Commercial Code of Costa Rica as a Limited Liability Company (S.R.L.), legally represented by its assigned Managers both judicially and extrajudicially, guaranteeing that all corporate conservation actions comply with active commercial legislation. The company operates through dynamic legal frameworks like General Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, and Corporations, selecting the S.R.L. structure to guarantee corporate asset protection and focused execution of its eco-preservation bylaws.
