Please review carefully the third-party’s policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. We have no responsibility or liability for these Third-Party Sites’ independent policies or actions and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such Third-Party Sites or retailers.

15. UNAVAILABILITY OF SERVICE; UPDATES; INFORMATION; ERRORS AND OMISSION
We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or part of the Sites or the other Services is ever unavailable. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites or the other Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. We undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify information on the Sites or the other Services, except as required by law. No specified update or refresh date applied on the Sites should be taken to indicate that all information on the Sites or the other Services has been modified or updated. Please remember when reviewing information on the Sites or the other Services that such information may not represent the complete information available on a subject. In addition, subsequent events or changes in circumstances may cause existing information on the Sites or the other Services to become inaccurate or incomplete.
We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or currency of any information on the Site and/or the other Services and do not guarantee or accept any responsibility or liability therefor.

16. SANCTIONS AND EXPORT POLICY
You may not use any Service if you are the subject of U.S. sanctions or of sanctions consistent with U.S. law imposed by the governments of the country where you are using the Services. You must comply with all U.S. or other export and re-export restrictions that may apply to goods, software (including Deewdrop Software), technology, and services.
17. CANNABIS
Not everyone accepts cannabis use as permissible. For example, some employers may have anti-drug policies that disallow cannabis use.
You acknowledge that by interacting with the Services, providing your information to us, allowing us to collect data about you, or permitting us to send you communications, could imply to employers, friends, family, or others that you are a cannabis product user, which could have unwanted social, legal, employment, economic, or other impacts that could affect you, including, without limitation, your loss of employment, and that Deewdrop shall not be held liable for damages arising out of or connected with the foregoing because your use of the Services and our products is solely at your own risk.
Cannabis is a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance under the Controlled Substance Act (21 U.S.C. 802) and therefore the cultivation, distribution, and possession of cannabis, or conspiring with or assisting others to do the same, is a crime under federal law 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.
Keep all cannabis and cannabis products out of reach of children and animals. Use of cannabis while pregnant or breastfeeding may be harmful. If you are pregnant or may be pregnant, breastfeeding, suffering from a known health condition, or taking any prescription medications, you should consult a physician or other health care professional prior to using cannabis. 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.
You assume the risk of any-and-all damage or loss incurred as a result of your consumption of cannabis or cannabis products. Although the Services and licensees may provide information regarding cannabis and cannabis products, including, without limitation, potency, pharmacologically active ingredients, source of cultivation, recommended uses and benefits, and all other descriptions or information (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 under any circumstance. Always consult your primary care physician or other qualified healthcare provider prior to using 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.
18. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THE SITE AND THE OTHER SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MOBILE SERVICES) MAY PROVIDE YOU WITH CERTAIN INFORMATION. ALL SUCH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, MEDICAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OR AN OPINION OF ANY KIND. FURTHER, ALL SUCH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, SUCH INFORMATION IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
FURTHER, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, UNFAILINGLY SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, THAT THE QUALITY OF ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, AND THAT ANY ERRORS IN THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED. YOUR SOLE REMEDY AGAINST US FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE OR THE SERVICES IS TO STOP USING THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, AS APPLICABLE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF RELIEF IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE LENGTH OR SCOPE OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE AND/OR OUR SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND MANAGERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE REASONABLE FORESEEABLE), RESULTING FROM (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES; (II) ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY YOU THAT IS BASED (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) ON ANY INFORMATION, STATEMENT OR CONTENT THAT IS PROVIDED OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU BY OR THROUGH THE SITE OR THE SERVICES; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR OTHER DATA; OR (IV) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SITE OR THE MOBILE SERVICES.

ACCORDINGLY, IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE TERMS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
20. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, our subsidiaries, and each of our and their respective shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, personnel, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, allegations, demands, actions, causes of action, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings (including, without limitation, any and all liability, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), settlements, fines, penalties and losses of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from any of the foregoing) arising out of or in connection with: (i) your violation or breach of the Terms; (ii) your use of the Services; (iii) your dispute with another user; (iv) your violation of any rights of any third party; or (v) your violation of applicable law. This indemnification obligation will continue after you stop using the Services. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claim and matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you at your expense, and you shall not in any event settle or otherwise dispose of any matter without our prior written consent.
21. FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached the Terms, for any failure or delay in our performance under the Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), restraints or delays affecting carriers, inability to obtain or delay in obtaining adequate or suitable supplies, breakdown of materials or telecommunications, or power outage.

You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
23. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by and construed for both substantive and procedural purposes in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any principles of any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York to apply.
24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Timing of Claims
Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Services or any product or service acquired thereunder must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
Arbitration and Venue
Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Services shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Saratoga Springs, New York, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court, and you consent to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under the Terms shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and before a single arbitrator.
Ultimately, the selected arbitrator must have expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. The expenses of the arbitration charged by the arbitrator shall be borne by the non-prevailing party or otherwise as appropriately allocated between the parties to the arbitration by the arbitrator in his or her discretion. However, in every other regard, each party shall pay for and bear its own costs and legal fees, costs, and expenses. The arbitration shall be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of either giving notice or filing a demand to arbitrate with the American Arbitration Association (whichever shall first occur).
Final Arbitration
The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The testimony, evidence, ruling, and all documentation regarding any arbitration shall be considered confidential information. Neither party may use, disclose, or divulge any such information unless otherwise required by law.
Class Action Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under the Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to the Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one (1) person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
25. MISCELLANEOUS
The division of the Terms into sections and the headings of the various sections in the Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of the Terms. You acknowledge and agree that any principle of construction or rule of law that provides that an agreement shall be construed against the drafter of the agreement in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity in such agreement shall not apply to the Terms. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of the Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of the Terms. We may assign our rights and duties under the Terms to any party at any time without notice to you and without your express consent. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under the Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under the Terms. There shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms.
