Wholesale Terms & Conditions

1. Sale of Products. Subject to these Terms and Conditions, Company agrees to sell to Buyer the products described in the Purchase Order submitted by Buyer and herein incorporated by reference (“Products”), for the purchase price stated therein (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Order may also take the form of an electronically-accepted Square Estimate. Buyer may not cancel or change the Purchase Order except with the prior written consent of Company and upon terms that will indemnify Company against any loss. If Buyer cancels or changes the Purchase Order without Company’s prior written consent or otherwise fails to timely pay for any Products, then Company may immediately terminate its obligations under the Purchase Order and these Terms and Conditions and recover the Products or value thereof. If Buyer wishes to reduce the dollar value of a Purchase Order by more than 10%, Company may choose to cancel the Purchase Order and refund any portion of a Buyer deposit that (a) has not already been deployed by Company to fill Buyer’s Purchase Order or (b) is recoverable by Company from third parties using commercially reasonable efforts, less a 10% service charge on any returned deposit.

2. Payment and Delivery Terms. Payment of the Purchase Price must be made to Company within 30 days after the date of the Purchase Order, and unless otherwise agreed to by Company and Buyer, Company will not ship any Products until payment has been received. All payments shall be made in good funds, in negotiable United States currency, by credit card via Square, by electronic bank transfer (wire or ACH), or by cashier’s check delivered to Company’s business address or at such other location as Company may, from time to time, designate in writing and with advanced notice to Buyer. The Purchase Price is F.O.B. (Free On Board) Origin, freight prepaid and added, with the destination, except as otherwise expressly agreed by Company and Buyer in writing, being Buyer’s “Ship to” address on the Purchase Order (“Point of Delivery”). Payments shall be payable without reduction or setoff for any costs or expenses, including, but not limited to, sales, use or any other tax, whether incurred by Buyer or any other party. If any withholding is required by law the Buyer shall immediately notify Company of the specific withholding requirement and (i) make such withholding; and (ii) account for the amount withheld to the relevant authority; and (iii) provide to Company the relevant tax deduction certificate in Company’s name; or (iv) pay to Company such amount, as will after deduction of any withholding, be equal to the amount that would have been received if no deduction had been made. If Buyer’s form of payment is rejected by the bank upon which it is drawn, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of the amount owed, plus a $25 non-sufficient funds fee. Any unpaid balance owed shall collect interest at 1.5% per month or the highest interest rate allowed by law. Buyer shall pay all costs of collection, including Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Buyer shall not have any right of set-off with regard to any amounts owed to Company, regardless of any dispute that may arise between the parties.

3. Variation in Product Concentration; Material Nonconformance with Specifications; Notice. The cannabinoid concentration (measured as a percentage of mass) shall be no less than 90% and no more than 120% of the stated numeric cannabinoid concentration for the Product agreed to in the Purchase Order, and the Product will be accepted by Buyer despite any such variance (“Concentration Variance”). Buyer must give Company written notice within 15 days after shipment date of Product items received by Buyer that fall outside of the Concentration Variance or otherwise do not conform with material specifications to be eligible for a credit, refund, or reimbursement. Failure to give such timely notice will preclude Buyer from later seeking or claiming a credit, refund, or reimbursement for such Product items which Buyer may allege it received that fall outside of this acceptable margin for error. In the event that Buyer gives timely notice, Company will have the opportunity to retest the Product to demonstrate that the Product is within the acceptable margin for error prior to granting a credit, refund, or reimbursement. A credit, refund, or reimbursement will only be given if the Product falling outside the acceptable margin for error, following re-testing, is returned to Company by Buyer.

4. Confidentiality. Buyer agrees to keep confidential the information that is disclosed to it by Company pursuant to the Purchase Order and these Terms and Conditions or in performing the work contemplated hereby. Confidential Information shall include, but is not limited to, all nonpublic written documentation, oral disclosures or disclosures made by visual observation of Company’s proprietary information and property, technical or business information disclosed or otherwise made available. No disclosure of any Confidential Information to any third party is allowed under this Agreement except and only if written permission is granted by Company. Buyer shall restrict disclosure of Confidential Information solely to its attorneys, principals, and employees with an actual and present need to know in order for the disclosing party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or if such disclosure is required by law. Buyer shall use a reasonable degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Buyer any right, title or interest in or to any of Confidential Information of Company. Buyer shall not copy or otherwise reproduce, in whole or in part, any of Company’s Confidential Information without the prior written authorization of Company, except as may be reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement. All Confidential Information will remain the property of Company. Buyer agrees that its breach would leave Company without an adequate remedy at law and that Company will be entitled to seek an injunction against such breach, in addition to other remedies available to such party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Section for a party to disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement in order to enforce the terms thereof. Upon completion or termination of the Purchase Order and these Terms and Conditions, all Confidential Information must be returned to Company’s possession or control.
