CANNABIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT
You acknowledge that, to the extent it pertains to cannabis, Jointly may only be used by residents of states and localities with laws authorizing and/or regulating the medical or recreational use of cannabis, and only to the extent permitted by such laws. Cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, and, therefore, the possession, cultivation and distribution thereof, or conspiring with or assisting others to do the same, is federally illegal and can result in significant criminal and civil penalties. You further acknowledge that medical use is not recognized as a valid defense under federal laws regulating cannabis, and that the interstate transportation of cannabis is a federal offense. ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES OR BUSINESS RELATED TO CANNABIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. USERS WITH QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LEGALITY OF CANNABIS AGREE THEY HAVE CONTACTED INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOOSING OR HAVE KNOWINGLY CHOSEN TO WAIVE THAT RIGHT BEFORE USING THE SITES OR SERVICES.
You assume the risk of any-and-all damage or loss incurred as a result of your consumption of hemp products, cannabis, or cannabis products. Although the Services may provide information regarding hemp products, cannabis and cannabis products, including, without limitation, potency, pharmacologically active ingredients, source of cultivation, recommended uses and benefits, as well as information we collect about a user’s experiences and preferences (collectively, “Cannabis Information”), such Cannabis Information should in no way be construed as medical advice nor is it intended to cover all possible uses, directions, precautions, or adverse effects. All Cannabis Information is provided for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation, or prevention of any disease. Any statements made about products on the Sites have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Statements made on third-party product labeling and advertising, including linked websites and product images, do not represent the positions, opinions, or statements of Jointly. You and any other user of any product on the Sites or Services are solely responsible for the use of such product and the consequences of such use. Any illegal use or resale of any products listed on the Sites or Services could subject you to fines, penalties and/or imprisonment under state and federal law.
THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL NOT LIMIT THE MORE GENERAL DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY IN SECTION 14 OR ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
SAFETY ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Always consult your primary care physician or other qualified healthcare provider prior to using a hemp product, cannabis, or a cannabis product for treatment of a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or fail to seek it following receipt of Cannabis Information from the Services or a licensee where your use of cannabis is to treat a medical condition. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any Cannabis Information and you should not rely on such Cannabis Information. If you believe or suspect that you have a medical problem, promptly contact your doctor or health care provider. You should never delay seeking or disregard advice from a medical professional based on something you have read on the Sites.
Keep all hemp, cannabis, and cannabis products out of reach of children and animals. Use of cannabis or hemp while pregnant or breastfeeding may be harmful. Intoxicating effects of cannabis and cannabis products may be delayed up to two (2) hours. Consumption of cannabis and cannabis products impairs your ability to drive and operate machinery. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of cannabis.

Personal information does not include publicly available information.
What Information is Collected?
Information You Give Us. When you contact us or opt in by registering on the Sites and creating a User Account, utilize our Services, register to receive alerts or other information via email, text, or instant message, or purchase legal cannabis, hemp-derived products, or other merchandise, we collect information you provide to us directly, including your name, postal address, email address, phone number, age, date of birth, photo of your government-issued identification, medical cannabis card or doctor recommendation.

Personal
Please only include descriptions of experiences in User Content that are your own. We want to hear about your individual experiences and use that information to improve the Site for you and others. Posting secondhand accounts and broad generalizations about the experiences of others will detract from the overall quality and reliability of User Content on the Site.

Courteous
Please be polite when posting User Content.

As stated in the Terms of Service, we may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove User Content that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or in violation of any party’s intellectual property.
Relevant
Please try to keep User Content concise and limited to discussion of the matter at hand. Tangents or general thoughts and opinions about matters unrelated to the primary subject of the User Content are often unhelpful, and sometimes even inappropriate.

GOVERNING LAW
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Service or the Site shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of the State of California, in each case located in the City and County of Los Angeles, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country.

ARBITRATION
In the event of any dispute with Jointly, you agree to first contact Jointly to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of negotiation to resolve the dispute by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.
If the dispute has not been resolved after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (except for disputes brought in small claims court) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms of Service, the Site or Services, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, or the alleged breach thereof, by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California before one arbitrator.

Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

You hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for this purpose.
