This Advertising and Marketing Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into between Leafly LLC, a Washington limited liability company, with offices located at 600 1st Avenue, Suite LL20, Seattle, Washington 98104 (“Leafly”), and the company identified in the Service Order from which these terms are linked (the “Service Order”) (“Company” or “you”), and is effective as of the date Company signs or accepts the Service Order (the “Effective Date”). Leafly and Company may collectively be referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” The Parties agree as follows:
1. LEAFLY SERVICES. Company will receive the services set forth in one or more Service Orders, including any Scope of Work attached to or referenced in a Service Order, presented to Company in connection with this Agreement (the “Services”). Any and all Services listed in a Service Order shall be deemed complete and delivered upon Leafly fulfilling its obligations set forth under this Agreement, which may include delivering content to Company for review or approval.
1.1 Products Provided on Auto-Renew Basis. Leafly will provide Company with the access and abilities listed as deliverables in the Service Order for Auto-Renew products. Leafly reserves the right to modify and change any deliverables offered through Auto-Renew products. Leafly will notify Company prior to any such change or modification.
1.2 A-La-Carte Products. Leafly will deliver the deliverables as provided in the Service Order, subject to the Requirements and Limitations set forth in the Service Order and subject to Company fulfilling its obligations set forth in Section 2.
2. OBLIGATIONS.
2.1 Assets. All creative assets must be delivered to Leafly at least ten (10) business days prior to the Campaign Start Date (as defined below) in order to guarantee timely launch of the Services under the Service Order. Unless otherwise defined, and pending inventory availability, the campaign start date is fifteen (15) business days from the Effective Date (the “Campaign Start Date”). Lead time may increase for Branded Content as described below. In the event that Company misses a deadline for the delivery of content or creative assets, Leafly reserves the right to re-evaluate the media plan based on inventory availability, regulatory requirements, and changes in Leafly Content Policies (or Advertising Guidelines, as applicable), and to make adjustments to the placements and/or the flight dates at any time, immediately upon notice. In the event that Leafly reasonably believes that a media plan must be re-evaluated, changed, or modified in order to comply with regulatory requirements or Leafly policies, Leafly reserves the right to require Company to provide alternative assets. If Company fails to provide alternative assets promptly, Leafly reserves the right to deliver the Services with assets modified by Leafly or with assets from campaigns previously approved by Company, as applicable. If under-delivery or non-delivery of Services is unavoidable due to delayed delivery to Leafly of creative assets, content, or Company approvals, Company will remain responsible for payment for all Services under the Service Order pursuant to Section 3.
2.2 Branded Content. In the case of any branded content created by Leafly in collaboration with, or on behalf of, Company (“Branded Content”), the creative brief from Company is due no later than ten (10) business days after the Effective Date. Upon receipt of a request for review and approval from Leafly, Company is required to respond with actionable written feedback or approval within three (3) business days. Once Leafly has commenced work on the Services, any request for substantive changes to the Branded Content subject matter or a delayed publication date will result in additional charges to be assessed in an amendment to the Service Order, and relevant amplification is no longer guaranteed upon any delay.
2.3 Failure to Respond. In the event that Company fails to respond to a Branded Content review, approval request, brief, or request for assets within fifteen (15) business days or prior to the Campaign Start Date, whichever is earlier, all of Leafly’s Services under the applicable Service Order shall be deemed completed and payable upon invoice. Thereafter, Company shall pay Leafly all Service Fees specified under the Service Order within thirty (30) calendar days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Branded Content will be published without the express written consent of Company.
2.4 Content Requirements. Company shall not collect, upload, transmit, display, or distribute any information or materials that: (a) make any deceptive, false, or misleading assertions or statements about its products and/or services; (b) refer or link to any third-party websites or services for cannabis products, dispensaries, retail locations, and/or medical provider listings; (c) violate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (d) are unlawful, harassing, abusive, tortious, threatening, harmful, invasive of another’s privacy, vulgar, defamatory, false, intentionally misleading, trade libelous, pornographic, obscene, patently offensive (e.g., material that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual), or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature, or which is harmful to minors in any way; (e) violate any law, regulation, or obligations or restrictions imposed by any third party; (f) promote overconsumption of its products and/or services; (g) represent that the use of cannabis has curative or therapeutic effects; (h) depict a child or other person under legal age, or otherwise suggest the presence of such a person; (i) are designed in any manner that would be especially appealing to persons under twenty-one (21) years of age; and/or (j) are otherwise designed, in Leafly’s sole discretion, to attack or damage the reputation of Company’s competitors or of end users of Leafly’s platform and services (“End Users”). Company agrees to follow Applicable Laws (as defined below) regarding the sale and shipment of products advertised on Leafly, including placement of an appropriate age gate on its website, shipping only to states where Company’s product is legal, and requiring a signature upon delivery when shipping age-restricted products. Company shall maintain its content and Company information so that it is accurate and complete. Company is responsible for ensuring that all content and creative assets it provides or approves are compliant with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, including those regulating the advertising of cannabis or cannabis-related products and the laws and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). Company represents that its content and creative assets, and the labeling thereof, do not contain any product claims that are prohibited by the laws and regulations of the FTC, the FDA, or any other local, state, or federal government (“Product Claims”). All content and creative assets must adhere to Leafly’s Advertising Standards (“Advertising Standards”), which are subject to change from time to time. Leafly reserves the right to approve all content and creative assets prior to publication, in Leafly’s sole discretion. Once content has been posted, Leafly reserves the right to remove or noindex previously approved content (i) for any reason one (1) year after the original publication date and (ii) at any time following publication if Leafly determines that the content does not meet Leafly’s standards or comply with any Leafly guidelines or Applicable Laws.
2.5 Restrictions on Use of the Site and Services. Company shall not use the Leafly.com website (the “Site”) or the Services to: (a) upload, transmit, or distribute any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer system or data; (b) send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of duplicative or unsolicited messages, whether commercial or otherwise; (c) harvest, collect, gather, or assemble information or data regarding other companies or End Users, including email addresses, without their consent; (d) interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on servers or networks connected to the Site or Services, or violate the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks; (e) attempt to impersonate another user on Leafly, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or Services, other companies’ pages, or other computer systems or networks connected to or used together with the Site or Services, through password mining or other means; (f) harass or interfere with another user’s use and enjoyment of the Site or Services; (g) introduce software or automated agents or scripts to the Site or Services so as to produce multiple accounts, generate automated searches, requests, and queries, or to strip, scrape, or mine data from the Site or Services; or (h) post reviews on the Site (using its account or any other End User account) that are about Company’s own products or services or a competitor’s products or services.
2.6 Co-Marketing and Company Deliverables. Company will perform certain co-marketing and other deliverables as defined in the Service Order.
2.7 Inventory. Leafly reserves the right to adjust impressions and campaign timing depending on inventory availability upon the Effective Date. Leafly will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver impressions evenly throughout the Term unless otherwise notified to Company during the Term. Any bonus impressions offered under the Service Order are not guaranteed to be delivered evenly and are subject to inventory availability. Leafly will prioritize paid placements over bonus placements. Leafly is not responsible for preemption or under-delivery of bonus items. Added-value impressions will not serve before paid media flights.
2.8 Service Pause. Leafly will allow a one-time pause of an active campaign (“Service Pause”) for up to two (2) weeks, pending inventory availability and subject to (i) immediate payment by Company of all outstanding Service Fees for the deliverables provided by Leafly up to the commencement of the Service Pause and (ii) payment by Company of a nonrefundable management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the total Service Fees under the Service Order. The Services will continue after the two-week Service Pause period, or Company may request a termination pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. Monthly billing cycles and campaign end dates will not be shifted due to a Service Pause, and contracted impressions are not guaranteed to deliver in full in the event of a Service Pause.
3. SERVICE FEES.
3.1 Service Fees. Company will pay a service fee (“Service Fee”) in the amount specified in the Service Order in connection with Leafly’s Services. Leafly is entitled to immediately cease all Services if payment is not received as set forth in the Service Order. Service Fees are nonrefundable once they are charged to Company’s account. Late payments are subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of (i) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. If Company pays the Service Fee by ACH or check and the ACH does not process or the check is returned to Leafly for insufficient funds, Leafly will charge Company the lesser of (i) $40 or (ii) the applicable state maximum, in addition to the late fees described above. If Company chooses to make Service Fee payments by ACH debit, Company authorizes Leafly to initiate ACH debits from Company’s bank account for the amount of any fees owed to Leafly within three (3) days of Leafly delivering an invoice to Company for such fees. If Company chooses to make Service Fee payments by credit card, Company authorizes Leafly to charge the credit card provided by Company according to the Rate Plan or Billing Cycle specified on the Service Order. In the event Company does not pay the Service Fee as set forth in the Service Order, Leafly reserves the right to transfer the outstanding balance to a debt collection agency.
3.2 Invoice Finality; Waiver of Late Disputes. Company shall review each invoice and automatic payment promptly upon receipt. Any dispute regarding an invoice or automatic payment must be submitted to Leafly in writing, identifying the specific charges in dispute and the basis for the dispute, within sixty (60) days after the invoice date or payment date, as applicable (the “Invoice Dispute Period”). Company’s submission of a timely written dispute shall not relieve Company of its obligation to pay all undisputed amounts when due, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any timely disputed amounts, failing which either Party may pursue resolution under Section 11. Any invoice or automatic payment not disputed in writing within the Invoice Dispute Period shall be deemed final, correct, and accepted, and Company irrevocably waives any right to dispute, offset, charge back, recoup, or seek a refund of such amounts. The foregoing waiver does not apply to (i) fraud by Leafly or (ii) manifest mathematical error apparent on the face of the invoice.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION.
4.1 Term. Unless stated otherwise in a Service Order, the Term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date. The date of any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be the “Termination Effective Date.” The “Term” shall include any Initial Term plus any Renewal Terms.

Except solely for the Permitted Court Proceedings described in subsection (l), you and Leafly agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you (together with your owners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents) and any Leafly Party arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, any other Leafly Agreement, the Leafly websites, applications, kiosks, and platforms, the Services, any content made available through the Services, any communications between you and Leafly, or the relationship between you and Leafly, whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable theory, and whether arising before, on, or after the date you accepted this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with this Section 11. “Dispute” shall be given the broadest meaning permitted by law and includes any dispute concerning the existence, formation, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, enforceability, or scope of this Agreement, any other Leafly Agreement, or this Section 11. Each Leafly Party that is not a party to this Agreement is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 11 and may enforce it.
(c) Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution. Before commencing arbitration, the party asserting a Dispute must deliver to the other party a written notice describing the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought (a “Dispute Notice”). A Dispute Notice to Leafly must be sent by email to legal@leafly.com and by certified mail or express courier to the notice address set forth in Section 15.4. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of a Dispute Notice, the parties shall begin good-faith discussions to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Dispute Notice (the “Informal Resolution Period”), either party may commence arbitration. Compliance with this subsection (c) is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration. All applicable statutes of limitations and filing-fee deadlines are tolled from the date a compliant Dispute Notice is received until the end of the Informal Resolution Period. Nothing in this subsection (c) prevents a party from seeking emergency relief under subsection (h).
(d) Administrator and Rules. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures or, where applicable under JAMS’s rules, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, in each case as in effect when the arbitration is commenced (the “JAMS Rules”), which are available at www.jamsadr.com. If there is any conflict between this Section 11 and the JAMS Rules, this Section 11 controls. If JAMS is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall agree in writing on a substitute nationally recognized arbitration provider.
(e) Arbitrator; Seat; Hearings. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator who is a retired state or federal judge or an attorney with at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial matters, selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The seat of the arbitration is Seattle, Washington. Any in-person hearing shall take place in Seattle, Washington, unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator directs that the hearing be conducted in whole or in part by videoconference. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.
(f) Delegation of Arbitrability and Governing Law. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve: (i) any question of arbitrability, including any dispute regarding the existence, formation, validity, interpretation, applicability, scope, enforceability, revocability, waiver, or unconscionability of this Section 11 or any portion of it, and whether any Dispute is subject to arbitration; (ii) any question regarding which Leafly Agreement, or which dispute resolution provision of any Leafly Agreement, governs a Dispute; (iii) any question regarding governing law or choice of law, including whether, and to what extent, the law of the State of Washington or of any other jurisdiction applies to any Dispute, claim, or defense; and (iv) any contention that this Agreement or any other Leafly Agreement, or any portion of either, is void, voidable, illegal, or unenforceable, including by reason of the status of cannabis or cannabis-related activity under federal law. The parties expressly incorporate Rule 11(b) of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the corresponding provision of the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, and intend this subsection (f) to constitute clear and unmistakable evidence of their agreement to delegate all such gateway questions to the arbitrator.
(g) Governing Law. Subject to the arbitrator’s authority under subsection (f), this Agreement, each other Leafly Agreement, and all Disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to any conflict-of-laws principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. This Section 11 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), and federal arbitration law, and, to the extent the FAA is held inapplicable, by the Washington Uniform Arbitration Act, chapter 7.04A RCW. The parties acknowledge that the Leafly Agreements evidence transactions involving interstate commerce.
(h) Arbitrator’s Authority; Equitable and Emergency Relief. The arbitrator may award any relief that would be available to an individual party in a court under applicable law, including damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and specific performance, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator shall give effect to the disclaimers, limitations of liability, and other limitations set forth in the Leafly Agreements. Before the arbitrator is appointed, either party may seek temporary, interim, or emergency relief (including injunctive relief to protect confidential information or intellectual property rights) under the emergency relief procedures of the JAMS Rules.
(i) Award; Finality; No Appeal. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written award. The award is final and binding on the parties and is not subject to appeal. The parties shall not invoke any optional appellate procedure (including the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive any right to appeal from, seek review of, or otherwise challenge the award in any court, except solely on the limited grounds for vacatur that cannot be waived under 9 U.S.C. § 10 or, if applicable, RCW 7.04A.230.
(j) Fees and Costs. Each party shall advance its share of JAMS administrative fees and arbitrator compensation as required by the JAMS Rules. The non-prevailing party shall bear all JAMS administrative fees and arbitrator compensation, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or applicable law or as the arbitrator may award with respect to any claim or defense found to be frivolous or asserted in bad faith.
(k) Individual Proceedings Only; Class Action Waiver. YOU AND LEAFLY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, may not preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding, and may not award relief to or against anyone who is not a party to the arbitration. In no event shall any Dispute proceed as a class, collective, or representative arbitration. If this subsection (k) is finally determined to be unenforceable as to any claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed, stayed until the arbitration of all other claims is complete, and thereafter pursued only as a Permitted Court Proceeding under subsection (l), and all other claims shall be arbitrated.
(l) Permitted Court Proceedings; No Federal Forum. The only court proceedings permitted in connection with any Dispute (each, a “Permitted Court Proceeding”) are: (i) an action to compel arbitration or to stay litigation pending arbitration; (ii) an action to designate a substitute arbitration provider or arbitrator where this Section 11 and the JAMS Rules provide no other mechanism; (iii) an application for provisional relief in aid of arbitration where emergency relief under the JAMS Rules is unavailable or inadequate; (iv) an action to confirm or enforce an award, or to vacate an award solely on non-waivable grounds as described in subsection (i); and (v) the pursuit of any claim severed under subsection (k). Every Permitted Court Proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County, and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, that court. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO FILE, REMOVE, OR TRANSFER ANY DISPUTE OR PERMITTED COURT PROCEEDING TO OR IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT OF REMOVAL UNDER 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441, 1446, OR 1453. If any Dispute or Permitted Court Proceeding is filed in or removed to a federal court, each party shall consent to, and cooperate in promptly obtaining, its dismissal or remand, and the party that filed or removed it shall bear the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in obtaining such dismissal or remand. A judgment entered on an award by the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County may be recognized and enforced in any state court of competent jurisdiction.
(m) Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND LEAFLY EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE OR PERMITTED COURT PROCEEDING.
(n) Confidentiality. The parties shall keep confidential the existence, content, and result of any arbitration, except as necessary to prosecute or defend a Permitted Court Proceeding (in which case the parties shall seek to file confidential materials under seal to the extent permitted), as required by applicable law or by any governmental or regulatory authority (including any cannabis regulatory authority), or for disclosure to a party’s attorneys, accountants, auditors, insurers, lenders, and bona fide prospective investors or acquirers who are bound by obligations of confidentiality.
(o) Time Limit to Assert Disputes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute must be asserted in a Dispute Notice within one (1) year after the claim accrues, or it is permanently barred. This subsection (o) does not extend any shorter period for disputing invoices, charges, or payments set forth in any Leafly Agreement.
(p) Relationship to Other Leafly Agreements. This Section 11 applies to all Disputes, whether arising under this Agreement or any other Leafly Agreement, and supersedes any inconsistent dispute resolution, arbitration, forum selection, venue, jurisdiction, governing law, or jury trial provision in (i) any Leafly Agreement, including any prior version of any Leafly Agreement, (ii) any Quote, Service Order, or other ordering document, (iii) any document incorporated by reference into any Leafly Agreement, including the IAB Terms, and (iv) any other agreement between you and any Leafly Party relating to the subject matter of the Leafly Agreements. The dispute resolution provisions of the Leafly Agreements are intended to be consistent. In the event of any inconsistency among the dispute resolution provisions of the Leafly Agreements to which you are a party, they shall control in the following order: (A) Section 15.3 of the Retail MSA; (B) Section 11 of the Brands MSA; (C) Section 12 of the Leafly Commercial Terms of Use; and (D) Section 13 of the Leafly Terms of Use.
(q) Changes to This Section 11. Notwithstanding any provision of any Leafly Agreement permitting Leafly to modify its terms, no change to this Section 11 shall apply to any Dispute for which a Dispute Notice was delivered, or an arbitration commenced, before the effective date of the change; each such Dispute shall be governed by this Section 11 as in effect when the Dispute Notice was delivered.
(r) Severability; Survival. Except as provided in subsection (k), if any portion of this Section 11 is finally determined to be unenforceable, that portion shall be severed and the remainder of this Section 11 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Section 11 survives the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the closure of any account, and the end of your use of the Services.
12. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party will be deemed to be in default of or to have breached any provision of this Agreement as a result of any delay, failure in performance, or interruption of service (except for failure to timely pay) resulting from acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, civil disturbances, wars, strikes or other labor disputes, changes in third-party or platform terms (including iOS and Android) limiting Leafly’s ability to fulfill Services or Deliverables, fires or other catastrophes, or other occurrences that are beyond such Party’s reasonable control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any excusable delay or failure to perform by a Party exceeds twenty (20) days, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, if applicable, without liability, except that Company will remain liable for payment of any fees in accordance with this Agreement.
13. ACCEPTABLE USE.

Company shall not: (i) distribute, sell, assign, encumber, transfer, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, modify, time-share, or otherwise exploit the Site, Services, or content, including Branded Content (collectively, “Content”), in any unauthorized manner, including by trespass or burdening network capacity; (ii) copy, reproduce, adapt, create derivative works of, translate, localize, port, or otherwise modify the Services, Deliverables, or Content, any updates, or any part thereof in any form or manner or by any means; (iii) attempt to obtain any information or content from the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content using any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means for any purpose; (iv) remove or alter any copyright or other proprietary rights notice or restrictive rights legend contained or included in the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content; (v) decompile, disassemble, reverse compile, reverse assemble, reverse translate, or otherwise reverse engineer the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content, any source code thereof, any updates thereto, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by Applicable Laws or as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-source components included with the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content); (vi) use any means to discover the trade secrets in the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content; or (vii) otherwise circumvent any functionality that controls access to or otherwise protects the Site, Services, Deliverables, or Content.

As between the Parties, Leafly owns all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Data and Insights, and Company retains ownership of the underlying Customer Data, subject to the licenses granted herein. Insights describe historical, aggregated observations and are not recommendations or guidance regarding pricing or other competitive decisions, projections of future performance, or guarantees of any result. INSIGHTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND LEAFLY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY ARISING FROM COMPANY’S USE OF OR RELIANCE ON INSIGHTS. This Section 14.4 survives termination of this Agreement.
15. GENERAL.
15.1 No Presumption Against Drafter.
