2. Cannabis Law Disclaimer.

a. Controlled Substances Act. 4.1. THE PRODUCTION, SALE, POSSESSION AND USE OF CANNABIS IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT (“CSA”). CANNABIS IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS A SCHEDULE I CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE UNDER THE CSA. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO REGULATE AND CRIMINALIZE CANNABIS, INCLUDING FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES, AND THAT U.S. FEDERAL LAW CRIMINALIZING THE USE OF CANNABIS PREEMPTS STATE LAWS THAT LEGALIZE ITS USE. WHILE THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF CANNABIS IS CURRENTLY LEGAL UNDER LAWS OF THE LEAFLINK MARKETS, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE SALE AND POSSESSION OF MEDICAL AND RECREATIONAL CANNABIS MAY REMAIN ILLEGAL UNDER U.S. FEDERAL LAW. YOU CONTINUE TO BE AT RISK OF BEING PROSECUTED BY U.S. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. FURTHER, THE LANDSCAPE IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY CHANGES RAPIDLY. WHAT PREVIOUSLY WAS THE LAW MAY NOT BE THE LAW TODAY OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS MEANS THAT AT ANY TIME THE U.S. FEDERAL LAW, OR THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE LEAFLINK MARKETS, CAN CHANGE OR THAT THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN SUPERSEDE THESE LAWS AND/OR TAKE PROSECUTORIAL ACTION.

b. LeafLink Does Not Hold a License. LEAFLINK DOES NOT POSSESS A LICENSE FROM ANY STATE TO TRANSACT ANY BUSINESS RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF MEDICAL OR RETAIL MARIJUANA. LEAFLINK DOES NOT PROVIDE CANNABIS SALES, AND LEAFLINK IS NOT A RETAILER, SUPPLIER, RESELLER, DISTRIBUTOR, AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE OR SUBCONTRACTOR OF ANY SUPPLIER OR RETAILER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, LEAFLINK SHALL NOT TAKE, OR BE DEEMED TO HAVE TAKEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF, OR ANY RELATED ACTION WITH RESPECT TO, ANY CANNABIS PRODUCT. ANY DECISION BY YOU OR ANOTHER LEAFLINK ACCOUNT HOLDER TO SELL PRODUCTS TO A RETAILER OR ACCEPT PRODUCTS FROM A VENDOR IS A DECISION MADE IN YOUR SOLE DISCRETION OR ANOTHER ACCOUNT HOLDER’S SOLE DISCRETION. LEAFLINK’S SITES OFFER INFORMATION AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECT VENDORS AND RETAILERS WITH EACH OTHER, BUT LEAFLINK DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE SUPPLIER, RETAILER, OR DISTRIBUTIONS SERVICES OR ACT IN ANY MANNER AS A CANNABIS VENDOR OR RETAILER. LEAFLINK DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY SALE OF CANNABIS. LEAFLINK FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR TRANSACTIONS WHICH OCCUR BETWEEN ENTITIES WHICH ARE OR ARE NOT LICENSED BY THE LEAFLINK MARKETS TO BUY OR SELL MARIJUANA IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE POSSESSION, DISTRIBUTION, PRODUCTION, OF CANNABIS AND CANNABIS PRODUCTS OR CONSPIRING OR ASSISTING SOMEONE TO DO THE SAME IS ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF MANY STATES.

c. Fee Structure. REGARDLESS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE FEES (WHETHER THE FEES ARE STRUCTURED AS FLAT PAYMENTS OR BASED ON A PERCENTAGE OF GOODS TRANSACTED) YOU AND LEAFLINK ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE FEES ARE INTENDED TO REFLECT THE VALUE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY LEAFLINK AND IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FEES BE CONSIDERED (I) OWNERSHIP, (II) PARTICIPATION IN THE OVERALL REVENUE OR PROFIT OF ANY LICENSEE, (III) A LOAN, OR (IV) ANY KIND OF DIRECT OR INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST. IN THE EVENT ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY CONSIDERS THE FEES PAID UNDER THIS THIS MSA, THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY, TO EXCEED A THRESHOLD THAT WOULD INDICATE A FORM OF OWNERSHIP UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN, AT THE SOLE DISCRECTION OF LEAFLINK, SUCH EXCESS AMOUNT SHALL BE PLACED BY YOU INTO ESCROW AND PAID OUT IN A MANNER THAT IS COMPLIANT WITH APPLICABLE LAW. 

d. Absence of Control. IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND LEAFLINK ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE ANY PROPOSED OR ACTUAL TRANSACTION CONDUCTED ON THE SITE AND ANY USE OF THE SERVICES IS AN ARM’S’ LENGTH TRANSACTION, SUCH THAT LEAFLINK IS NOT EXERTING ANY CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, DIRECTION OR OWNERSHIP OVER YOU.  TO ENSURE CONTINUED COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, IN THE EVENT ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY DETERMINES YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE SERVICES (i) NO LONGER ESTABLISHES AN ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTION OR (ii) ESTABLISHES CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, DIRECTION OR OWNERSHIP BY LEAFLINK OVER YOU, LEAFLINK RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ADJUST THIS MSA, THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES TO REFLECT AN ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTION OR REMOVE ANY CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, DIRECTION OR OWNERSHIP BY LEAFLINK OVER YOU.

19. Dispute Resolution.

a. Arbitration. This Section 20(a) governs the Parties, their heirs, successors, assigns and third parties, as well as their related officers, employees, and agents, in each case related to any dispute (for purposes of this Section 20(a), references to the “Parties” includes all of the foregoing, as applicable).  Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any determination of the scope, enforceability or applicability of this Section, shall be exclusively and finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if applicable, its Expedited Procedures, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that this agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The Parties shall share the costs of the arbitration equally; however, each Party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, in the city of New York, New York, by a single arbitrator jointly selected by the parties in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant legal and equitable remedies, including awarding the prevailing party its attorneys’ fees and other costs of the arbitration, but they shall not grant punitive damages. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The award shall be final and binding upon all parties as from the date rendered and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL IN COURT, INCLUDING A TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WILL BE DETERMINED BY AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Nothing in this Section shall prevent any Party from (i) seeking and obtaining injunctive relief, a restraining order, specific performance, or any other equitable relief through an action in court; (ii) joining any party as a defendant in any action brought by or against a third party; (iii) bringing an action in court to effect any attachment or garnishment; or (iv) bringing an action in court to compel arbitration as required by this Section; provided that, in no event shall any claim for injunctive or equitable relief be adjudicated in any United States Federal Court.  No arbitration award involving the Parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues of claims in any Dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have a preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this a copy of the arbitration agreement from the last version of the MSA that the user accepted, if any exists.
