The below Terms and Conditions of Service ("TCS") govern your access and use of any and all Vende-owned or -operated web sites (including mobile sites), mobile applications, interactive features, widgets, and/or other online services (collectively, referred to as the "Service"), regardless of how you access or use the Service, whether via personal computers, mobile devices or otherwise. By accessing or using the Service, you expressly accept and agree to the TCS and enter into a legally binding contract with Vende. Do not access or use the Service if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the TCS.
In some instances, both the TCS and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of service or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Service or to a service or product offered via the Service (in each such instance, and collectively "Additional Terms").

Vende is not a cannabis dispensary or delivery service. We offer (a) to receive information from adult-use cannabis customers and medical cannabis patients, (b) to perform customer and patient pre-verification checks in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and (c) a virtual environment, such as a website through which customers, patients and lawfully operated dispensaries and delivery services may establish a relationship for the provision of adult use and medical cannabis. We neither provide nor intend to provide cannabis delivery services to medical cannabis patients or adult-use customers. It is the sole responsibility of the third party dispensary or delivery service to provide delivery and other services in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While we make reasonable efforts, such as by reviewing state licenses, to ensure that any third party providers with whom we affiliate operate in compliance with applicable regulations, we make no representations, promises, or warranties with respect to the legality, suitability, or otherwise regarding such third party providers and have no responsibility or liability with respect to services provided to you by such third parties

You further represent that you are such a customer or patient or, where permissible, the primary caregiver for such a patient.
You expressly acknowledge that you are familiar and assume full responsibility for cooperating with all laws regarding the use, possession, cultivation, transportation, and distribution of cannabis. You further acknowledge that any of these activities may be illegal under state law unless all participants are acting completely within the scope of their respective states’ cannabis laws, such as California’s MAUCRSA or Compassionate Use Act. You further acknowledge that you understand that the use, possession, cultivation, transportation, and/or distribution of cannabis is illegal under federal law, and that individuals are subject to arrest and/or prosecution by federal officials. You acknowledge and agree that Vende neither provides nor has any obligation to provide any legal protections, such as indemnification, with respect to any civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding, investigation, litigation, or prosecution.
Vende has its principal place of business in California. However, Vende may be accessible to and provide services to users and dispensary entities outside of California.

Vende will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by e-mail at the address communications@vende.sale
Please not that it is often difficult or not reasonably possible to determine if your copyright has been infringed. Vende may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and/or may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

If access on the Service to a work that you submitted to Vende is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service.
You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of this Agreement.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the City of San Francisco, California. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Company submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
Right to Counsel. You have the right to be represented by counsel of your choice. However, you agree that in all events you, not Vende, shall be responsible for all of your counsel’s fees.

No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, the Company or any third party provider as a result of this Agreement or use of the Service or Application.
