By creating an Account, You agree that:
If any information that You provide, or if Vana has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that You provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, offensive, incomplete, or violates these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the DMCA Policy, or any applicable law, then Vana may suspend or terminate Your Account and access to and use of the Websites and Services, at its sole discretion, and without advance notice or any liability for such termination.
Your Account cannot be used to conduct commercial activities, including, but not limited to, transactions, advertising, fundraising, contests, or other promotions, absent our prior written consent.

Vana assumes no responsibility or liability for any issues, problems, or content on Your Account.
Accounts may only be set up by an authorized representative of the individual that is the subject of the Account. Vana does not review each Account to determine if it was created by an appropriate party. In addition, Vana is not responsible for any unauthorized Account that may appear on the Services. If You believe that an Account listed on one of the Websites is unauthorized, fake, fraudulent, or otherwise improper or misleading, please send an email tosupport@govana.com.
“User Content” means any and all information and content that a user submits to, or uses with, the Websites or Services, including without limitation, content in Your Account profile, reviews or postings.

You are solely responsible for Your User Content. You assume all risks associated with use of Your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that makes You or any third party personally identifiable. You hereby represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate the Terms. You may not state or imply that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by Vana. Because You alone are responsible for Your User Content (and not Vana), You may expose Yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Terms. Vana is not obligated to backup any User Content and User Content may be deleted at any time.
You hereby grant, and You represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Vana an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use, Your User Content, and to grant sublicenses of the foregoing, solely for the purposes of including Your User Content in the Websites and Services.

The Websites or Services might display, include, or make available Third-Party Content (including data, information, articles, applications or other products, services, as well as materials) or contain links to third-party websites, services, and advertisements for third-party Offers (as defined below) (collectively, the “Third-Party Materials”). You acknowledge and agree that Vana is not responsible for Third-Party Materials, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect thereof.

You should make whatever investigation You feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Material.
The Websites or Services might display, include, or make available coupons, promotional codes, and other offers from listed dispensaries or other third parties (collectively, the “Offers”). Offers constitute “Third-Party Materials” under these Terms. Vana displays these Offers on the Website and Services as a form of advertisement for the listing dispensary or other third party (the “Offeror”) only. All Offers are made directly by the applicable Offeror, and may be subject to additional terms, conditions, or restrictions of the Offeror or under applicable law, whether or not such terms, conditions, or restrictions are expressly included on the Website or Services. The Offeror, and not Vana, is solely responsible for: (a) redemption of the Offer; (b) compliance of all aspects of the Offer with applicable law (including, without limitation, the advertisement, redemption, and terms, conditions, and restrictions related thereto); (c) all goods and services it provides to You in connection with the Offer; and (d) all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities, and costs it may cause You to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of an Offer or not.
You agree to indemnify and hold Vana (and its owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, and agents, and successors and assigns of itself or its affiliates) harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, awards, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of or otherwise relating to (i) Your use or misuse of the Websites or Services, (ii) Your User Content, (iii) Your violation of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the DMCA Policy, or (iv) Your violation of applicable laws or regulations. Vana reserves the right, at Your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which You are required to indemnify us or any other indemnitee hereunder and You agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Vana. Vana will use reasonable efforts to notify You of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
If there is a dispute between users of the Websites or Services, including between You and any Third Party featured on our Websites or Services, (each, a “Dispute”), You understand and agree that Vana and its affiliates (including the Websites and the Services) are under no obligation to become involved in such Dispute.
You hereby release and forever discharge Vana (and its owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, and 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), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Websites or Services or Third-Party Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, this release includes a release of any dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action arising out of or in any way related to a Dispute, regardless of whether such dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action are known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed.
If You are a California resident or resident of a state with a similar applicable law, You hereby expressly waive California Civil Code section 1542 in connection with the foregoing (or such other similar applicable law in Your state), which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
You agree to not hold Vana liable for any loss or liability to You or any third party arising from Your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the Terms, Privacy Policy, DMCA Policy, or other foregoing obligations.
