3. Cannabis Law Disclaimer.

1. Controlled Substances Act. 4.1. THE PRODUCTION, SALE, POSSESSION AND USE OF CANNABIS IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT (“CSA”). CANNABIS IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS A SCHEDULE I CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE UNDER THE CSA. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO REGULATE AND CRIMINALIZE CANNABIS, INCLUDING FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES, AND THAT U.S. FEDERAL LAW CRIMINALIZING THE USE OF CANNABIS PREEMPTS STATE LAWS THAT LEGALIZE ITS USE. WHILE THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF CANNABIS IS CURRENTLY LEGAL UNDER LAWS OF THE LEAFLINK MARKETS, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE SALE AND POSSESSION OF MEDICAL AND RECREATIONAL CANNABIS MAY REMAIN ILLEGAL UNDER U.S. FEDERAL LAW. YOU CONTINUE TO BE AT RISK OF BEING PROSECUTED BY U.S. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. FURTHER, THE LANDSCAPE IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY CHANGES RAPIDLY. WHAT PREVIOUSLY WAS THE LAW MAY NOT BE THE LAW TODAY OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS MEANS THAT AT ANY TIME THE U.S. FEDERAL LAW, OR THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE LEAFLINK MARKETS, CAN CHANGE OR THAT THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN SUPERSEDE THESE LAWS AND/OR TAKE PROSECUTORIAL ACTION.
2. LeafLink Does Not Hold a License. LEAFLINK DOES NOT POSSESS A LICENSE FROM ANY STATE TO TRANSACT ANY BUSINESS RELATING THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF MEDICAL OR RETAIL MARIJUANA. LEAFLINK DOES NOT PROVIDE CANNABIS SALES, AND LEAFLINK IS NOT A RETAILER, SUPPLIER, RESELLER, DISTRIBUTOR, AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE OR SUBCONTRACTOR OF ANY SUPPLIER OR RETAILER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, LEAFLINK SHALL NOT TAKE, OR BE DEEMED TO HAVE TAKEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF, OR ANY RELATED ACTION WITH RESPECT TO, ANY CANNABIS PRODUCT. ANY DECISION BY YOU OR ANOTHER LEAFLINK ACCOUNT HOLDER TO SELL PRODUCTS TO A RETAILER OR ACCEPT PRODUCTS FROM A VENDOR IS A DECISION MADE IN YOUR SOLE DISCRETION OR ANOTHER ACCOUNT HOLDER’S SOLE DISCRETION. LEAFLINK’S SITES OFFER INFORMATION AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECT VENDORS AND RETAILERS WITH EACH OTHER, BUT LEAFLINK DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE SUPPLIER, RETAILER, OR DISTRIBUTIONS SERVICES OR ACT IN ANY MANNER AS A CANNABIS VENDOR OR RETAILER. LEAFLINK DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY SALE OF CANNABIS. LEAFLINK FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR TRANSACTIONS WHICH OCCUR BETWEEN ENTITIES WHICH ARE OR ARE NOT LICENSED BY THE LEAFLINK MARKETS TO BUY OR SELL MARIJUANA IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE POSSESSION, DISTRIBUTION, PRODUCTION, OF CANNABIS AND CANNABIS PRODUCTS OR CONSPIRING OR ASSISTING SOMEONE TO DO THE SAME IS ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF MANY STATES.

9. Confidentiality and Data Security.

1. Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, marked, designated, or otherwise identified as “confidential” (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the Data Feed will be deemed Confidential Information of LeafLink. Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure is: (i) in the public domain; (ii) known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (iii) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (iv) independently developed by the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (x) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (y) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the effective date of this Agreement and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
2. Data Security. You agree that you shall use all reasonable legal, organizational, physical, administrative, and technical measures, and security procedures to comply with LeafLink’s Privacy Policy, safeguard and ensure the security of the Confidential Information, and to protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, use, modification, or loss.
3. Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this section entitled “Confidentiality and Data Security” would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
4. Use of Certain Data. We have the right to provide user billing, account, Content or use records, and related information under certain circumstances (such as in response to legal responsibility, lawful process, orders, subpoenas, or warrants, or to protect our rights, customers or business). Please note that anyone able to provide your personally identifiable information will be able to access your account so you should take reasonable steps to protect this information.

10. Relationship between the Parties.

1. Arm’s-Length Transaction. In order to comply with Applicable Law, the Parties believe this Agreement establishes an arm’s-length transaction, such that neither Party shall be seen as exerting any control, management, direction or ownership over the other. To ensure continued compliance with Applicable Law, in the event the Parties or any governmental entity determine this Agreement (i) no longer establishes an arm’s length transaction or (ii) establishes control, management, direction or ownership by one Party over the other, this Agreement may be adjusted to reflect an arm’s-length transaction between the Parties or remove any control, management, direction or ownership by one Party over another, as applicable upon mutual written consent by both parties. In the event such adjustment is not mutually agreed to by both Parties, this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the section titled “Term and Termination.”
2. Independent Provider Status. In its performance of this Agreement, each of LeafLink and its Affiliates and subcontractors will at all times act in its own capacity and right as an independent contractor, and nothing contained herein may be construed to make LeafLink or its Affiliates and subcontractors an agent, partner or joint venturer or joint employer of any other Party. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Party shall have the right, power, or authority to act or to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of any other Party. Each Party may engage in other employment and business activities during the term of this Agreement without restriction, so long as such other employment or business activity does not materially interfere with the performance of such Party under this Agreement. No Party shall have authority (and shall not hold itself out as having authority) to bind any other Party and no Party shall make any agreements or representations on any other Party’s behalf without such other Party’s prior written consent. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall furnish, at its own expense, the equipment, supplies, and other materials used to perform under this Agreement.

All statutes or provisions of law which would toll or otherwise affect the running of the period of limitation are hereby waived, and no such statute or provision of law shall operate to extend the period limited in this paragraph, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and LeafLink in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and LeafLink agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND LEAFLINK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. Despite the provisions of this section, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek payment for any Services provided by LeafLink; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

1. Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration between you and LeafLink will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting LeafLink.
2. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). LeafLink’s address for Notice is: 80 Broad Street, Attn: General Counsel, New York NY 10004. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or LeafLink may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or LeafLink must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
3. Fees. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse LeafLink for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits
4. No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND LEAFLINK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and LeafLink agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
5. Modifications to this Provision. If LeafLink makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to LeafLink’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to LeafLink’s address for Notice, in which case your account with LeafLink will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
6. Opt-Out Procedure. You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) in accordance with this section. For new users, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you use the Service for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to LeafLink at 80 Broad Street, New York NY 10004. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to the arbitration agreement and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the (s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, LeafLink will likewise not be bound by these arbitration provisions. All other terms of this Agreement will continue to apply. Opting out of the arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us. LeafLink users who accepted a previous version of this Agreement or the terms and conditions published on the Sites that included an arbitration agreement, and who did not timely opt out of that arbitration agreement, remain bound by the last arbitration agreement that they accepted. Upon receipt of a valid Opt-Out Notice, LeafLink will provide the opting out user with a copy of the arbitration agreement from the last version of the Agreement that the user accepted, if any exists.
7. Enforceability. If the above arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the paragraph titled “Governing Law” will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
