PLEASE READ THESE CUSTOMER TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.

Last Modified: August 3, 2023

This is a contract between you (the Customer) and us (CNB Media LLC, herein referred to as “Cannabiz” or “Cannabiz Media”). It describes the services we will provide to you, how we will work together, and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese”, but we have tried to make it as readable as possible. These terms are so important that we cannot provide our products and services to you unless you agree to them. By using the Subscription Service or receiving the Consulting Services, you are agreeing to these terms.

We periodically update these terms. If you have an active Cannabiz subscription, we will let you know when we do via an email or in-app notification.

Finally, we know legal terms can sometimes be difficult to navigate, so we wanted to give you a roadmap of the Agreement:

A. DEFINITIONS. This is where we provide the detail on what the key defined terms in the Agreement mean. You can think of this kind of like a contractual dictionary.

B. GENERAL COMMERCIAL TERMS. Here’s where you can find the basics about how our Subscription Service and Consulting Services are provided. For example, you can find information on access and acceptable use. These terms apply to all of our products and service offerings.

C. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. Customers of ours subscribe to use our software (yep, it’s SaaS), and there are some fundamental terms that apply to each subscription. There are some differences between the different types of subscriptions, and here’s where you can find that detail.

You may subscribe to additional features of the Subscription Service by placing an additional Order or activating the additional features from within your Cannabiz account (if this option is made available by us). This Agreement will apply to all additional Order(s) and all additional features that you activate from within your Cannabiz account.

3. Service Uptime Commitment.  For the purposes of this 'Service Uptime Commitment' section, the following definitions shall apply:

"Priority 1" means a critical full outage/severe issue that constitutes a catastrophic problem that causes complete inability to use the Subscription Service across a significant portion of the production environment (e.g. crash or hang), resulting in production downtime and where there is no workaround or solution to the problem.

"Excluded" means the following: (i) unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, act of God, epidemic or pandemic, acts of government, emergencies, natural disasters, flood, fire, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving our employees), or any other force majeure event or factors; (ii) any problems resulting from Customer's combining or merging the Subscription Service with any hardware or software not supplied by us or not identified by us in writing as compatible with the Subscription Service; (iii) interruptions or delays in providing the service resulting from telecommunications or internet service provider failures outside of our control as measured by our third party website availability monitoring provider; and (iv) any interruption or unavailability resulting from the misuse, improper use, alteration, or damage of the Subscription Service.

"Service Uptime" means (total hours in calendar month - unscheduled maintenance which causes unavailability - Priority 1 issue durations - scheduled maintenance - Excluded) / (Total hours in calendar month - scheduled maintenance - Excluded) X 100%.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet a Service Uptime of 99% for our Subscription Service in a given calendar month. All availability calculations will be based on our system records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, as Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet availability or support commitments, in the event there are two (2) or more consecutive calendar months during which the Service Uptime falls below 99% in a given calendar month, Customer will be entitled to receive a credit equal to the pro-rated amount of fees applicable to the downtime as measured within two (2) or more consecutive calendar months during which the Service Uptime fell below 99%, which credit shall be applied against an invoice or charge for the following renewal Subscription Term, provided Customer requests such credit within twenty (20) days of the end of the relevant calendar month.

4. Consulting Services. You may purchase Consulting Services by placing an Order with us. Unless we otherwise agree, the Consulting Services we provide are described in the Product and Services Catalog and will be delivered in English.  Fees for these Consulting Services are in addition to your Subscription Fee. If you purchase Consulting Services that recur, they will be considered part of your subscription and will renew in accordance with your subscription.

All Consulting Services are performed remotely, unless you and we otherwise agree.

For Consulting Services performed on-site, you will reimburse us our reasonable costs for all expenses incurred in connection with the Consulting Services. Any invoices or other requests for reimbursements will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.

If there are a specific number of hours included in the Consulting Services purchased, those hours will expire as indicated in the applicable description, which expiration period will commence upon purchase (the “Expiration Period”).  If there are deliverables included in the Consulting Services purchased, it is estimated that those deliverables will be completed within the time period indicated as the delivery period in the applicable description, which delivery period will commence upon purchase (the “Delivery Period”). If there is no Expiration Period or Delivery Period indicated, then it will be one hundred and eighty (180) days from purchase.  If the Consulting Services provided are not complete at the end of the Delivery Period due to your failure to make the necessary resources available to us or to perform your obligations, such Consulting Services will be deemed to be complete at the end of the Delivery Period. If the Consulting Services provided are not complete at the end of the Delivery Period due to our failure to make the necessary resources available to you or to perform our obligations, the Delivery Period will be extended to allow us to complete such Consulting Services.

We might provide some or all elements of the Consulting Services through third party service providers.  Consulting Services are non-cancellable and all fees for Consulting Services are non-refundable.

5. Fees and Payments

a. Subscription Fees. The Subscription Fee will remain fixed during the initial term of your subscription unless (i) you upgrade products, (ii) you subscribe to additional features or products, or (iii) we agree otherwise  in the Order.

If you do not agree to this increase, either party can choose to terminate your subscription at the end of your then-current term by giving the notice required in the ‘Notice of Non-Renewal’ section below.

d. Payment by credit or debit card. If you are paying by credit or debit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term and for the next renewal term.
