Welcome to the Potrider site! These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) are a legally binding contract between Ghost Management Group, LLC or its applicable affiliate that owns or controls the applicable Website (as defined below) or provides the applicable Services (as defined below) that you may be accessing or using (“Potrider”, “us”, “we” or “our”), on the one hand, and you and your successors and heirs and (if applicable) the corporate entity you represent (“you” or “your”), on the other hand.

Please note: Section 13 of these Terms governs disputes between us, and contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver that requires you and Potrider to resolve all disputes with each other on an individual basis through final and binding arbitration. Please read these terms carefully.

Certain areas of the Websites and Services (and your access to or use therein) may have additional terms, conditions, policies, rules, and guidelines, which govern your access to and use of such Websites and Services (as applicable, the “Additional Terms”). The Additional Terms will be posted (via a link) on the applicable Website or Services and may be modified from time to time. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms for a specific Website or Service, the applicable Additional Terms shall govern and take precedence over these Terms with respect to your use of or access to that Website or Service.

9. Copyright Infringement

It is Potrider’ policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable, eliminate access to, and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights of others.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, Potrider will respond appropriately to claims and reports of copyright infringement taking place on or through the Websites.

If you are a copyright owner, an authorized representative of a copyright owner, or an authorized representative permitted to act under an exclusive right per an applicable copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Websites by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Potrider in accordance with the DMCA and these Terms. Upon receipt of a properly completed and delivered DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement, Potrider will take whatever action it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, but subject to its obligations under the DMCA, including removal of the challenged material from the Websites.

2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing (i.e., the material you want removed, or material that you want all access disabled to) and provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Websites where such material may be found.
3. Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
4. Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice: a. “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.” b. “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”

10. Delivery and Pick-Up Orders

WM Orders and WM Store

As one of its Services, Potrider may provide users with the ability to transmit orders for cannabis-related products and arrange for delivery or pick-up of such products through third-party, unaffiliated vendors (when the Service is provided via Potrider.com or a Potrider-branded application, “WM Orders”, and when the Service is provided via wm.store or a Retailer-owned website, “WM Store”). WM Orders and WM Store are third-party technology platforms for consumers (“Consumers”) to transmit such orders with participating Retailers. WM Orders and WM Store each provide order transmission services only and serves purely as a communications medium. Neither WM Orders nor WM Store is a merchant of cannabis-related products, or provider of any pick-up or delivery services in connection therewith, and does not control the Retailers or the production of any cannabis-related products, or any pick-up or delivery services in connection therewith.

Potrider and its affiliates disclaim any obligation to independently verify the credentials or representations of any of the Retailers or the authenticity or quality of any of their products or services. Consumers using WM Orders and/or WM Store must make themselves comfortable through the information provided by the Retailers on the Websites, by contacting the Retailers directly, or through such other means or methods as they may deem appropriate, as to the quality and reliability of the Retailers. Potrider, including the Websites and the Services, do not in any way guarantee the quality of any Retailer or any cannabis-related product, or any pick-up or delivery service in connection therewith. In addition, a Retailer may represent certain standards with respect to their cannabis products (or other services), such as labeling such products as “organic”, “pesticide-free”, achieving a certain potency level, undergoing certain testing procedures, fungus levels, containing specific terpene or cannabinoid profile or contents (including THC or CBD levels), or otherwise. Potrider and its affiliates do not investigate or verify any such statements. Potrider and its affiliates shall not be liable or responsible for any cannabis-related products, or any other services, offered by the Retailers or any errors or misrepresentations made by them (including on the Websites and through WM Orders, WM Store or other Services).

By using WM Orders or WM Store’s ordering functionality, you represent, warrant, and covenant that: (i)(a) if an identification card is required by Potrider in connection with an order you place, you will upload to your User Account a valid, unexpired government-issued identification card and, (b) if you will be ordering medical cannabis and a medical cannabis recommendation or medical cannabis recommendation data is required by Potrider in connection with an order you place, you will upload or otherwise provide the requested data relating to a recommendation for medical cannabis that is valid in the applicable jurisdiction in which you place an order via WM Orders or WM Store’s ordering functionality; and that (ii) your use of the Websites and the Services, including WM Orders and WM Store, does not violate any applicable state or local law, including any legal requirements for orders you place through WM Orders or WM Store. Upon delivery or pick-up, as applicable, you agree to present a government-issued identification card evidencing your age, as well as your original recommendation if you order medical cannabis (in each case, to the extent required in your applicable jurisdiction). If you do not comply with these terms regarding WM Orders or WM Store, you agree that cannabis products may not be released to you by the applicable Retailer, and you may forfeit the cost of such products.

11. Review/Feedback Policy

An important part of the Potrider community is the feedback system. Users have the ability to leave reviews and comments, and we want that process to be as open as possible. Part of that openness is acknowledging that certain behaviors are not acceptable. Potrider retains the right to remove any content posted on or submitted through any of its Websites or Services. However, the only User Content likely to be removed is that which violates these Terms, the Additional Terms, or the Privacy Policy, or the rules or guidelines on the applicable Website or Service regarding reviews, comments, feedback, and other User Content (the “Review Policies”). Please note, the Review Policies of each Website or Service may differ. Please consult the relevant Website or Service to learn about its applicable Review Policy.

Please note, Potrider is under no obligation to enforce these Terms, the Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, or any of the Review Policies on your behalf against another user. While Potrider encourages you to let us know if you believe another user has violated these Terms, the Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, or any of the Review Policies, we reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action at our sole discretion.

12. Indemnification and Release

If there is a dispute between users of the Websites or Services, including between Consumers and Retailers, you understand and agree that Potrider and its affiliates are under no obligation to become involved in such a dispute.

You agree to indemnify and hold Potrider and its affiliates (and their respective owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, agents, successors and assigns) harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, awards, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court costs) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed arising out of or relating to: (i) your use or misuse of the Websites or Services; (ii) your User Content; (iii) your breach or violation of these Terms, the Additional Terms, or the Privacy Policy; or (iv) your violation of applicable laws or regulations.

Potrider will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim for which Potrider seeks indemnification hereunder upon becoming aware of it; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve you of your obligation to provide indemnification hereunder. Potrider reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any such matter for which you are required to indemnify us or any other indemnitee hereunder, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. You agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of Potrider.

You hereby release and forever discharge Potrider (and its owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, agents, and successors and assigns of itself or its affiliates) from, and hereby waive and relinquish your rights with respect to, each and every past, present, and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), arising out of or relating to any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Websites or Services or Third-Party Materials.

13. Dispute Resolution

THIS SECTION GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND Potrider ARE RESOLVED, AND REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE REVIEW THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS OR OTHER COLLECTIVE ACTIONS.

Overview of Dispute Resolution Process

Potrider is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process: (i) an informal negotiation directly with Potrider’ customer service team; and (ii) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification

In the event a dispute arises out of or relates to these Terms, the Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, or your use of the Websites and Services, you and Potrider, in good faith, agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute between ourselves through informal direct discussions prior to the initiation of arbitration. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, either you or Potrider feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules (as defined below).

Agreement to Arbitrate

In the event we cannot resolve a dispute through direct informal discussions, you and Potrider (collectively, the “Parties”) mutually agree that any dispute, claim, counterclaim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms—including the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof—or the use of the Websites and/or Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to a Dispute, the Parties mutually agree that the arbitrator will decide this issue.

Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement

The Parties mutually agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances. Filing of claims subject to these exceptions shall not be deemed a waiver of either your or Potrider’ right under the Arbitration Agreement to have all other Disputes determined by individual arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration Agreement.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

Jury Trial Waiver

The Parties acknowledge and agree to waive the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings

The Parties acknowledge and agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Unless the Parties both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties, or otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “collective action” waiver or the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and the Parties agree that any collective claims and private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.

Severability / No Waiver

Except as provided above with respect to the “class action lawsuit” or “class-wide arbitration” waivers, if any provision of the Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Survival Past Termination

Unless superseded by a later arbitration agreement between the Parties, this Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these Terms.
