LeafyQuick Retailer Terms

Updated March 21st, 2019

These LeafyQuick Retailer Terms (“Terms”) apply to the service relationship between LeafyQuick Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “LeafyQuick” or “LQ”) and the retailer (“Retailer”) signing up for the Services (as defined herein). These Terms, and any other terms set forth in the sign-up process will be together referred to as the “Agreement.” The Agreement is entered into as of the date Retailer signs up for the Services (“Effective Date”). THE SECTION BELOW ENTITLED “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” HAS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION. IT AFFECTS RETAILER’S LEGAL RILQTS. PLEASE READ IT.

  1. Rights and Obligations of LQ
  2. a) LQ will enable customers to purchase product from Retailer via (i) LQ’s proprietary ordering, advertising, delivery logistics and billing system at leafyquick.com and at LQ’s sole option, its associated web-based and mobile properties and apps, collectively known as (the “LQ Platform”); and (ii) at LQ’s sole option, at any properties partnered with LQ (together with the LQ Platform, the “Systems.” The foregoing will not apply to any Retailer that has not signed up for Marketing Services until such Retailer elects to receive such Marketing Services.
  3. b) MARKETING SERVICES (IF SELECTED): LQ will include Retailer on the Systems as provided herein and will enable the transmission of orders to Retailer for pickup or delivery (the “Marketing Services”). The Marketing Services, together with the Delivery Services and the POS Services (each as defined below), will be referred to herein as the “Services.”
  4. c) DELIVERY SERVICES (IF SELECTED): LQ will connect Retailer with delivery service providers through LQ’s proprietary logistics platform(s) (the “Delivery Services”). LQ will have the sole right to determine the particulars of the Delivery Services, including, without limitation, the delivery fee, delivery area and availability. For clarity, LQ does not itself provide delivery or logistics services; instead, LQ provides a platform for Retailers to connect with delivery service providers to transport orders to customers and to receive information relating thereto. LQ delivery service providers are independent contractors who access LQ’s proprietary technologies to provide on-demand delivery and logistics services, and such independent contractors control the method and manner in which they deliver orders. Accordingly, LQ will not be liable or responsible for any delivery service providers or any errors or misrepresentations made by them.
  5. d) LQ owns all right, title, and interest in and to the LQ Platform and any content supplied by LQ, and will have sole editorial control over the LQ Platform, including the presentation of any content provided by Retailer (“Retailer Content”). Retailer Content may include, without limitation, products, photographs, trademarks and logos. For the term of the Agreement and for six (6) months thereafter, Retailer hereby grants to LQ a royalty-free, worldwide, sub-licensable, transferable, fully paid-up, irrevocable right and license to use the Retailer Content on the Systems, and for marketing and promotional purposes via any means now known or hereinafter developed. Retailer owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Retailer Content, subject to the license granted to LQ herein. LQ may remove Retailer Content on the Systems at any time if it believes, in its sole discretion, that such Retailer Content violates any applicable laws, infringes upon any third-party rights, or otherwise impacts the integrity of the Systems.
  6. e) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT, LQ DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, THE SYSTEMS, THE SERVICES, AND ANY USE THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND LQ WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO RETAILER FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEMS, SERVICES OR RETAILER CONTENT. LQ WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO RETAILER FOR INDIRECT, WILLFUL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OF ANY KIND, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF THE PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING. LQ’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT WILL BE THE AMOUNT OF COMMISSIONS EARNED BY LQ DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Retailer (and any other persons to whom Retailer provides any Customer Data only as necessary to perform the Agreement) will implement and maintain comprehensive administrative, physical and technical safeguards in accordance with current industry best practices in order to protect, handle, and secure Customer Data. Retailer will also be responsible for any breach of this provision by any third-party service provider engaged by Retailer. Retailer will notify LQ in a secure manner immediately upon a data security breach or any reasonable suspicion thereof or any other unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, and assist and cooperate with LQ concerning any remedial measures and any disclosures to affected parties, in each case as requested by LQ or required under applicable law.

  16. Payment Terms
  17. a) In consideration for Retailer’s access to the applicable Systems and Services, Retailer will pay to LQ the Marketing Commission (for delivery by LQ, as applicable) and Delivery Commission (as applicable) provided in the sign up process (collectively, the “Commissions”). Except as otherwise specified, the Commissions apply to the product total on all orders placed through the Systems. The Delivery Commission does not apply to pickup orders or self-delivery orders. In the event Retailer does not use or ceases to use Delivery Services, the Marketing Commission will apply to the product total and any delivery fee charged by Retailer. For Retailers that do not use Delivery Services, the Marketing Commission will be charged on telephone orders originating from the Systems based on the average Marketing Commission actually charged on Retailer’s previous six (6) non-telephone orders. The Commissions may be amended by LQ upon three (3) days’ prior written notice to Retailer (email sufficient), provided that Retailer does not cancel the Agreement during such notice period.
  18. b) LQ will transmit via check or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) to Retailer the “Payment Amount” at mutually agreed intervals. “Payment Amount” means the “Grand Total” (which includes the product total, tax, plus any tips and delivery fees for orders not using Delivery Services) received by LQ for orders placed during the relevant billing period (“Billing Period”), less (i) the applicable Commissions, (ii) the processing fee (inclusive of credit charges) on the Grand Total, (iii) tax collected on orders to be reported/remitted by LQ, and (iv) the amount of refunds or discounts granted to customers. Platforms associated with LQ affiliates and partners may deposit their Payment Amounts to Retailers separately.
  19. c) Retailer will provide to LQ accurate and complete sales tax rates and computations (including, without limitation, any applicable state and local taxes) applicable to items and will provide reasonable advance notice to LQ of any required changes to such rates and/or computations. Retailer will report and remit all sales tax collected through the Systems to the applicable taxing authorities.  ONLY FOR RETAILERS IN WASHINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA, FLORIDA, AND UTAH: Notwithstanding the foregoing, LQ will report and remit all sales tax collected to the applicable taxing authorities. Retailer will be responsible for such reporting and remitting in all other locations. Updates to LQ tax reporting and remitting practices may be made upon written notice to Retailer. 
  20. Term
  21. a) The Agreement may be cancelled by either party for any reason (or no reason) upon three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other party; provided, however, that LQ may suspend the Services or access to the Systems during any time it believes Retailer is in violation of the Agreement.
  22. b) If either party wishes to cancel placement on any particular platform(s) and/or the Delivery Services, in each case, while remaining on the other platform(s) and/or retaining the other Services, it may do so at any time upon three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that only placement on the such platform and/or the Delivery Services are cancelled, the Agreement will continue in full force and effect, except that: (A) “Services” will be redefined to refer only to the remaining Service(s), (B) “Commission” will be redefined to refer only to the Commission(s) applicable to the remaining Services, and (C) any obligations of LQ with respect to the cancelled Service(s) will be of no further force and effect. 
  23. Dispute ResolutionRetailer and LQ agree that all claims or disputes arising out of the Agreement will be decided by an arbitrator through arbitration and not by a judge or jury (“Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator’s fees and the costs will be shared equally by the parties, unless prohibited by law. Parties are responsible for their own attorneys’ fees. The arbitration proceeding will take place in New York, NY, unless otherwise agreed. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enter judgment on the arbitrator’s decision and award. The parties agree to bring any claim or dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or collective action, and there will be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). Regardless of anything herein and/or the applicable AAA Rules, the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator. The following claims are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement: (a) claims in small claims court; (b) claims to enforce or to prevent the actual or threatened violation of a party’s intellectual property rights; (c) claims for temporary relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy; and (d) claims that are non-arbitrable per the applicable federal statute. 
  24. Miscellaneous Terms LQ and Retailer are independent contractors, and nothing herein may be construed to create any agency, partnership or joint venture between them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever. The Agreement are not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. No ambiguity will be construed against any party based upon a claim that such party drafted the ambiguous language. With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement, which will be governed by the FAA, the Agreement will be governed by New York law, without regard to conflict of law principles. The Agreement and any other agreements or terms incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understanding (written or oral) on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement and any of the LeafyQuick Privacy Policy, the GFR Terms of Use, or the LeafyQuick Retailer POS API Terms, the terms of the Agreement will control. LQ hereby reserves the right to update and modify these Terms at any time at its sole discretion, provided that such modifications will be applied only prospectively. You agree that LQ has the right to notify you of updates to these Terms by posting them on the Systems. Therefore, you should review these Terms before using the Services. The Agreement may not be amended by Retailer unless such amendment is signed by an authorized representative of LQ. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. In the event of a breach, in addition to any remedies at law or in equity, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek specific performance and immediate injunctive relief. Failure by LQ to require performance or claim breach will not be construed as a waiver by LQ. A party will not be liable for any failure of or delay in the performance of the Agreement for the period that such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, strikes or labor disputes, embargoes, government orders or any other force majeure event. Retailer may not assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of LQ, and if permission is secured, the assignor will provide LQ with advance written notice so that payment can be directed appropriately. Any assignment by Retailer in violation of this provision will be deemed a nullity. LQ may freely assign the Agreement. The Agreement will be binding on the parties’ permitted heirs, successors and assigns. Any dispute, controversy or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the relationship between the parties hereto will be governed by in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. This Section 6, the customer data, ownership, confidentiality, indemnity, limitation of liability and arbitration provisions and any other terms required for the full interpretation of the Agreement following expiration or termination will survive any expiration or termination of the Agreement.
