Website Terms of Use
Last Revised: December 4, 2020
The website located at http://cannamls.com/, (the “Website”) is published, owned, and operated by CannaMLS, its affiliates and related entities (“Company,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Website.
These Terms include an arbitration clause. Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website.
By accessing, browsing, submitting information to and/or using the Website, or by clicking a box to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when you are creating an account on the Website (referred to throughout the Terms as “you”), you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference, and to comply with all applicable laws including, without limitation, all federal, state and local tax and tariff laws, regulations, and/or directives. Accordingly, under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR,” users in the European Union acknowledge and consent to our processing of personal data as necessary for the performance of these Terms, any applicable agreements, and use of the Website. If you do not agree to the Terms, please do not use the Website.
Purpose of the Website. The Website is provided for the purpose of connecting buyers looking for cannabis license and/or real estate purchase and/or lease opportunities with sellers of such opportunities, sellers with buyers, and sometimes buyers and/or sellers with brokers who are representing such opportunities (the “Service”). In providing the Service, the Company does not make determinations about buyer eligibility for any seller or opportunity or the accuracy or authenticity of any listings or the viability or value of any listing prices, and disclaims all liability, warranties or representation to the same.
We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information at any particular time. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. The Company disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such content by you or any other visitor to our Website, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. Any information you provide or that is collected by the Company through the Website shall be handled in accordance with the Website’s Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Use of the Website. The Company grants you a non-exclusive license to access and use the Website and the data, material, content or information herein (collectively, the “Content”) solely for your personal use. Your right to access and use the Website shall be limited to the purposes described in these Terms unless you are otherwise expressly authorized by the Company to use the Website for your own commercial purposes. You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes, comply with all rules governing any transactions on and through the Website and comply with applicable laws.
The Service. You may create an account on the Website to use the Service or post a listing on the Website without registering as a user or creating an account. When you, as a seller or broker, submit a new listing on the Website, there is a delay (“Delay”) period that may last up to five (5) days before buyers can review your listing. This allows the Company to verify your project for completeness and conformity to our Listing Guidelines. Listings that do not conform to the Listing Guidelines during or after the Delay may not be approved for public access onto the Website. During the Delay, certain users may review your project to determine if interest and funds are available to purchase or finance your listing. These users may, at their sole discretion, contact you, request additional information, or submit a financing offer during or after the Delay. After the Delay, other buyers, brokers, or users, at their sole discretion, may review your listing and contact you to determine if interest and funds are available for your listing. When any user contacts a listing, the message is routed through the Website administrators first and then forwarded directly to the listing author; the Company cannot guarantee that all contacts or inquiries are forwarded, nor that they are forwarded in a timely fashion, nor that they are successfully delivered to the listing author after being forwarded.
Relationship of Parties and Roles. In using the Website, you acknowledge, accept and agree to the following:
Company uses its proprietary technology and capabilities to provide the Service to buyers, sellers and brokers.
- Some of the Company owners also own entities that manage the Alta Real Estate Fund, in which these funds may provide loans or purchase terms to sellers as part of the Service.
- Company is not a “consumer reporting agency” as that term is defined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. No part of the Service involves the use of consumer reports or background checks.
- Company makes no eligibility determinations about any seller, buyer or listing for purchase, lease or financing options provided by any user of the Website.
- Company makes no warranties or representations that any seller, buyer or listing will be selected to purchase, lease or finance by any user of the Website.
- Each user is solely responsible for making all eligibility determinations regarding a particular seller buyer or listing to which it provides an offer.
- Each user is solely responsible for its choices of buyer, seller or listing and for executing the necessary requirements to purchase, lease or otherwise engage such buyer, seller or listing.
- Although we facilitate the connection of buyers, sellers and brokers to listings, we are not a financial institution and therefore not subject to the requirements of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (the “GLBA”) in the operation of this Website. Any financial institutions that use the Website and the Service will comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations, including the GLBA.
