These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of greenstategroup.com (the “Site”) operated by GreenState Group (“GreenState,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
These Terms should be reviewed and approved by qualified legal counsel before publication. They are written as a starting framework for a California regulatory-consulting firm and are not a substitute for legal advice.
The Site is intended for persons twenty-one (21) years of age or older. Commercial cannabis activity in California is restricted to persons twenty-one and older; services offered through the Site are offered only to operators holding, or actively pursuing, a commercial cannabis license issued by the California Department of Cannabis Control or a relevant local jurisdiction. By using the Site you represent that you are at least twenty-one years of age and that any company or entity you represent is lawfully authorized to engage in commercial cannabis activity within the jurisdiction where it operates.
Content on the Site is provided for general informational and marketing purposes only. GreenState is a regulatory consulting firm. GreenState is not a law firm, accounting firm, or investment advisor, and nothing on the Site constitutes legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Cannabis regulation is jurisdiction-specific, fact-dependent, and rapidly changing. Do not rely on Site content without obtaining advice from qualified licensed counsel or a qualified professional who has reviewed your specific circumstances.
Your use of the Site, submission of a contact form, scheduling of a consultation, or receipt of general information from GreenState does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, or other protected professional relationship. A consulting engagement with GreenState commences only upon execution of a written engagement letter or services agreement identifying the scope, fees, and other material terms.
GreenState delivers services across three engagement models, each governed by its own written agreement. Tier 1 · Licensed project engagements (DCC applications, local permits, ownership changes, ad hoc scopes) are governed by a project engagement letter that defines scope, milestones, and fixed or capped fees. Tier 2 · Educated access to the Education Suite is governed by a platform subscription agreement billed per seat per month, with terms covering data processing, uptime, and acceptable use of the platform. Tier 3 · Compliant ongoing retainers are governed by a master services agreement with a recurring monthly fee and an attached statement of services. In the event of conflict between these Terms and a signed engagement letter, subscription agreement, or master services agreement, the signed agreement controls with respect to the relationship between GreenState and that client.
All content on the Site — including text, graphics, illustrations, photographs, logos, brand elements, SVG badges, software, and the selection and arrangement of materials — is owned by GreenState or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. GreenState grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial informational purposes. Except as expressly authorized, you may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, modify, translate, create derivative works from, sell, or commercially exploit any portion of the Site without our prior written consent.
You agree not to: (a) use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (b) submit false, misleading, or inaccurate information; (c) attempt to access restricted areas of the Site, circumvent security controls, or interfere with the operation of the Site; (d) scrape, data-mine, frame, or mirror the Site without our prior written consent; (e) submit viruses, worms, or other malicious code; (f) impersonate another person or entity; (g) harass, threaten, or defame any other person; (h) use the Site to promote the unlawful sale, distribution, or consumption of cannabis or any controlled substance.
The Site may link to external websites, regulator portals, industry databases, and other third-party services operated by parties other than GreenState. GreenState does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of such external resources. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to the terms and privacy policies of that site.
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GREENSTATE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUSES. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT SITE CONTENT IS CURRENT, COMPLETE, OR ACCURATE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GREENSTATE, ITS PRINCIPALS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY. GREENSTATE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00). CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GreenState, its principals, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (d) your violation of the rights of any third party.
Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801 et seq. Commercial cannabis activity is legal in California only to the extent conducted under a valid commercial cannabis license issued by the California Department of Cannabis Control and, where applicable, the relevant local jurisdiction. Nothing on the Site should be interpreted as encouraging conduct that violates federal or state law.
Any testimonials, case studies, or client-result statements on the Site reflect specific engagements and are not a prediction or guarantee that any other client will experience a similar result. Past outcomes do not guarantee future outcomes.
GreenState may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be identified through an updated “Last updated” date or a prominent Site notice. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance. GreenState may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Site at any time without notice.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site that cannot be resolved through good-faith negotiation will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, seated in Los Angeles County, California, in English, before a single arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
Class-action waiver. You and GreenState agree that disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and GreenState with respect to the Site, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications or agreements. Any consulting engagement between you and GreenState is governed by a separately-executed engagement letter, which controls with respect to the consulting relationship.
