Self-Delivery Addendum Effective Date: March 21, 2024

TreeStorX owns and operates the TreeStorX Platform that connects Merchants and Customers for Customers to place Orders for delivery fulfillment by Merchant.

For clarity, the Program will include each product, service, promotion, or program elected by Merchant in this Self-Delivery Addendum. The Parties agree that TreeStorX is not a merchant, cannabis preparation business, reseller, or delivery service; it is an online connection platform.

TreeStorX reserves the right to take into account the impact of a Merchant's conduct on both the customer experience and the TreeStorX brand when determining the Merchant's prominence, participation in programs such as Platinum Leaf, and/or availability on the TreeStorX Platform. That conduct includes but is not limited to timeliness and accuracy of orders fulfilled, customer ratings and reviews, customer concerns regarding cannabis quality or cannabis safety, detrimental price inflation and/or customer complaints about price inflation, and any conduct that may violate our Partner Code of Conduct

TreeStorX acknowledges that Merchant is solely responsible for the prices of its menu items, which may vary based on factors such as location, time of the year, or competition from other dispensaries. Merchant agrees that it will not charge the Self-Delivery Fee for Self-Delivery Orders through Platinum Leaf.

  • 3.3. Additional Responsibilities for the Pickup Program. During the Term, once TreeStorX or Merchant's point of sale provider enables the ability for Merchant to set different prices for Merchant Products under the PickUp Program than the prices for such Merchant Products for delivery, Merchant shall ensure that pricing of Merchant Products under the PickUp Program is not greater than the pricing of the same Merchant Products for pickup in-store. In the event that Merchant increases the pricing of Merchant Products for pick-up above the in-store prices of the same Merchant Products, TreeStorX may enforce the terms of this Agreement, including any combination of and not limited to: applying a higher commission rate to affected Self-Delivery Orders, requiring Merchant to reimburse affected Customers for the difference between the Merchant Product listed for pick up and the lower in-store price, charging Merchant an additional fee, and/or adjusting the pricing of Merchant Products available for pick up, in addition to any other right or remedy available at law or in equity.

  • 3.4. Merchant agrees that its delivery personnel will deliver an Order from Merchant's licensed premises only to the delivery address provided by the applicable TreeStorX Customer. Upon delivering an Order, Merchant represents and warrants that its delivery personnel will only deliver the Order if the TreeStorX Customer (a) is at least the legal drinking age in the Applicable Jurisdiction; and (b) is not visibly intoxicated. "Applicable Jurisdictions" means any jurisdiction that permits sales of Merchant Products that are cannabis for pick-up or delivery from time to time during the Term.

4. FEES.

TreeStorX shall receive a Commission Rate in exchange for TreeStorX promoting Merchant through the TreeStorX Platform. The Commission Rate for Self-Delivery Orders placed under the applicable TreeStorX program is set forth on the Rate Card. TreeStorX will pay for Self-Delivery Orders fulfilled by Merchant each week following the week in which the Orders were fulfilled on a consistent day of this week. The exact day in this week is subject to change with no less than 10 days' notice to Merchant by email or service notification. The amounts remitted will include (a) the pre-tax total of all Self-Delivery Orders for the prior week (Monday-Sunday), plus (b) Collected Taxes (as defined below), plus (c) the Self-Delivery Fee charged for all Orders for the prior week, plus (e) any tips provided by the Customer, less (f) the aggregate Commission Rate, agreed fees for marketing and promotional deals (if any), error fees associated with Merchant's incorrect preparation of Orders, and Order Equipment fees (if any) for such week. Merchant agrees TreeStorX may charge the Customer fees, including but not limited to delivery fees, service fees, and surcharge fees where applicable in TreeStorX's sole discretion.

5. TAXES.

TreeStorX shall charge and collect from Customers the applicable value added, goods and services, state and local sales, use, or similar taxes for the Merchant Products sold on the TreeStorX Platform and applicable customer fees charged by the Merchant to the Customer ("Collected Taxes"). In any jurisdiction where TreeStorX is required to remit Collected Taxes as a marketplace facilitator, TreeStorX will be responsible for remitting such taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Any Collected Taxes that are not required to be remitted under the marketplace facilitator laws will remain the responsibility of the Merchant and Merchant will be responsible for remitting any such portion of Collected Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. In all other jurisdictions, TreeStorX will send Collected Taxes to Merchant, and Merchant will be responsible for remitting the total amount of Collected Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities of those jurisdictions. For clarity, TreeStorX will be responsible for the remittance of any value added, goods and services, sales, use, or similar tax related to Customer fees for services supplied by TreeStorX, including but not limited to a Service Fee. Merchant will be responsible for the remittance of any goods and services, sales, use, or similar tax related to Customer fees for services supplied by Merchant, including but not limited to a Self-Delivery Fee.

6. PAYMENT PROCESSING.

Merchant acknowledges that TreeStorX uses a payment processor to collect Order amounts from Customers and remit payment to Merchant. TreeStorX reserves the right to change its payment processor at any time during the Term and Merchant will provide TreeStorX with any information required to set up a payment account with any such alternate payment processor.

7. ORDER EQUIPMENT.

With respect to the TreeStorX Platform, if Merchant does not integrate its POS system with the TreeStorX Platform, Merchant will install the equipment agreed by the parties for Merchant to receive and process Orders, which may include: a tablet, fax machine, or other automated, electronic means of receiving Orders. If the parties agree that any Order Equipment is provided by TreeStorX, Merchant will pay TreeStorX an Order Equipment Fee if set forth in the Rate Card, in exchange for the right to use the Order Equipment to access the TreeStorX Platform in order to receive, process, and accept Marketplace and PickUp Orders. Any Order Equipment provided by TreeStorX will remain TreeStorX's sole property and may be used solely in connection with the provision or receipt of services under the Agreement and for purposes related to fulfilling Merchant's responsibilities under this Marketplace Addendum. Merchant will inspect all hardware, and shall notify TreeStorX in writing (email sufficient) if any Order Equipment is missing or was damaged as soon as practicable after discovering such damage. Merchant will be responsible for any damage to or loss of any Order Equipment provided by TreeStorX (excluding ordinary wear and tear), which shall be promptly reimbursed by Merchant (at the replacement cost thereof). TreeStorX may recover the replacement cost of damaged or lost Order Equipment by deducting such amount from weekly payments. Merchant agrees to pay all agreed subscription fees and deposits charged by TreeStorX for Order Equipment, and agrees TreeStorX may deduct such fees and deposits from amounts payable by TreeStorX to Merchant.

8. REFUNDS AND SUPPORT.

In the event a Customer submits a complaint about his or her Order via TreeStorX's support channels, TreeStorX may, in its sole reasonable discretion, issue a re-order, credit, partial refund, or full refund to such Customer. Merchant shall prepare the cannabis to the same specifications as the original Order (in the case of a re-order) and bear the full cost of that re-order, credit or refund, as applicable, if the complaint was caused by Merchant or Merchant Products, including missing and incorrect Self-Delivery Orders or the delivery of Self-Delivery Orders by Merchant. For clarity, TreeStorX shall not be responsible for any refund, credit or re-order that is caused by the delivery of Self-Delivery Orders.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION.

This Self-Delivery Addendum may be terminated pursuant to the terms of the Terms of Service.
