Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 2023

These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service” or “ToS”) govern the use of the cannabis product ordering and delivery service that Zen Leaf Technologies, LLC (“Zen Leaf” or “us” or “we”) makes available to an individual consumer (“you”) through our website located at zenleafdispensaries.com (the “Website”) and through mobile applications and related services, as modified from time to time (collectively, the “Service”). The Website and the Service are collectively and individually referred to as the “Solution”. As used in these ToS, the word “including” means “including without limitation”. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS IN RESOLVING DISPUTES. By accessing or using the Solution, you expressly accept all of the provisions of these ToS and represent to us that you are an age legally permitted for ordering cannabis products for the state or province in which you are located, and that you are legally competent to enter into and agree to these ToS. If you do not accept these ToS, then you may not use the Solution.

1. ABOUT ZEN LEAF; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A. What Zen Leaf Does. Zen Leaf provides a virtual service where consumers can connect with lawfully operated cannabis collectives, cooperatives, and related delivery service providers (collectively, “Dispensaries”). Zen Leaf is not a Dispensary itself and is not a medical provider. You acknowledge that Zen Leaf does not provide medical advice via the Solution or otherwise.

B. Dispensaries and State or Provincial Law. You may only place orders, make reservations, or request deliveries for goods or services at participating Dispensaries using the Solution. You must use the Solution , including the manner in which you order, reserve, request delivery, pick up and pay for products, in compliance with the laws and regulations of the state or province in which you access the Solution and all applicable federal laws, excepting only (if you are located in the United States) for federal laws and regulations related to marijuana (“Applicable Laws”). Depending on your location, payment for any goods or services may be made in-person at a Dispensary or authorized delivery location upon presenting your valid, government-issued identification, medical marijuana registration card, doctor’s recommendation, or such combination of the preceding documents or additional documents as may be required by Applicable Laws or the Dispensary. You agree and acknowledge that the features of the Solution may vary depending upon the state or province in which you access the Solution . For example, you may be able to request delivery of products in certain states or provinces, but not others.

C. Federal Law. Zen Leaf makes no representation regarding the legality of the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and possession of marijuana, assisting with or conspiring to do the same, or any such activities by or through the Solution under United States federal law. You are responsible for any civil, criminal, or administrative investigations, proceedings or penalties that may result from Your use of the Solution. Zen Leaf expressly disclaims any such liability or responsibility.

D. Product Descriptions. Zen Leaf attempts to be as accurate as reasonably possible in product descriptions for products available through the Solution. You acknowledge and agree that the products and product amounts may differ by batch and that product amounts may display as a range of amounts. Amounts on the Website include, without limitation, the level (by weight, mass, volume, or percentage) of THC, CBD, other cannabinoids, and terpenes in a product, the total weight, mass, or volume of a product, the size, number of individual items, or services, in a product, and any other unit of measurement related to a product.

E. Product Images. Zen Leaf attempts to be as accurate as reasonably possible in providing product images for products available through the Solution. Zen Leaf does not warrant that the product images provided through the Solution accurately reflect the product and product packaging available for purchase. You acknowledge and agree that the products and product packaging purchased through the Solution may differ in appearance from the actual products.

F. First-Time Purchase Discount. You are entitled to receive a discount on your first-time purchase with Zen Leaf (the “First-Time Purchase Discount”), which you may select as an option upon making your first-time purchase through the Solution to receive the First-Time Purchase Discount. If Zen Leaf determines that you have created more than one Account or taken any other action in an effort to receive the First-Time Purchase Discount for a purchase made after your first-time purchase, Zen Leaf reserves the right to deny you the First-Time Purchase Discount (intended only for first-time purchases) for any such purchases made by you after your first-time purchase, as determined in Zen Leaf’s sole discretion.

7. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

If you are using the Solution in the United States, the following arbitration clause applies:

  1. Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising in any way from your use of the Solution, except for disputes relating to the infringement of our intellectual property rights , will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, but you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.
  2. No Judge or Jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these ToS as a court would.
  3. Arbitrator and Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Related Disputes. These rules can be found on the AAA website at www.adr.org.
  4. Starting an Arbitration. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send us a notice of dispute, in writing, setting forth your name, address and contact information, the facts of the dispute and relief requested. You must send your notice of legal dispute to us at the following address: legal@verano.com. Zen Leaf will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.
  5. Format of Proceedings. The arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions.
  6. Fees. If you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, Zen Leaf will pay all other AAA and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
  7. Individual Basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Zen Leaf each agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Zen Leaf each waive any right to a jury trial. As a result, PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
  8. Limitation Period. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you or Zen Leaf be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
  9. Enforcement. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall have no applicability.
  10. Invalidity. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and Zen Leaf each agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the northern district of California, and you and Zen Leaf each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any applicable dispute or claim.
  11. Opting Out. If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Zen Leaf and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@verano.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Solution.

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS

  1. Termination. If you breach any of the terms of these ToS, all licenses granted by us, including permission to use the Solution, will terminate automatically. Additionally, we may suspend, disable, or delete your Account, access to the Solution (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason (including, for example, if you fail to honor reservations you make through the Solution). If we delete your Account for any suspected breach of these ToS by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Solution under a different name. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these ToS shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by Zen Leaf or you. Termination will not limit any of our other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
  2. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these ToS may cause irreparable injury to Zen Leaf for which monetary damages might not be an adequate remedy and Zen Leaf shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.
  3. Notices. We may give notice to you by means of a general notice on the Service or the Website, electronic mail, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email). You may give notice to us (such notice shall be deemed given when received by us) at any time by sending an email to legal@verano.com. Please specify the reason for the email in the subject line so it can be forwarded to the proper department.
  4. Miscellaneous. These ToS constitute the entire agreement between you and Zen Leaf with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Zen Leaf with respect to such subject matter are hereby superseded in their entirety. These ToS may not be modified except by a writing executed by the duly-authorized representatives of Zen Leaf or pursuant to Section 8.5 of these ToS. No other act, document, usage or custom will be deemed to modify or amend these ToS. These ToS will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns. These ToS and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by Zen Leaf but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Zen Leaf. Any attempt by you to assign these ToS without the written consent of Zen Leaf shall be null and void. If any provision hereof is or becomes, at any time or for any reason, unenforceable or invalid, no other provision hereof will be affected thereby and the remaining provisions will continue with the same effect as if such unenforceable or invalid provisions will not have been inserted herein; provided that the ability of either party to obtain substantially the bargained-for performance of the other will not have thereby been impaired. It is expressly understood that in the event either party on any occasion fails to perform any term hereof and the other party does not enforce that term, the failure to enforce on any occasion will not constitute a waiver of any term and will not prevent enforcement on any other occasion. Nothing contained in these ToS will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose. If either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under these ToS due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, the affected party's performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence. The headings and captions contained herein will not be considered to be part of the ToS but are for convenience only. If you are using the Solution from the United States, the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern these ToS and your use of the Service and the Website. If you are using the Solution from any other country, the laws of that country shall govern your use of the Solution. Your use of the Solution may also be subject to other local, state, provincial, or international laws.
  5. Modifications. We may occasionally update these ToS. When we do so, we will post the updated ToS on the Website and revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of these ToS. If you continue to use the Solution after we post an update to these ToS, you indicate your acceptance of the updated ToS.
