9. Dispute Resolution
If you reside in the U.S. (and as applicable to U.S. residents), certain portions of this Section 9 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and PharmaCann agree that we intend that this Section 9 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
A. First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, the Content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of PharmaCann’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 9(D), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 9(A). Your notice to us must be sent via email to: info@pharmacann.com. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, PharmaCann and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or PharmaCann to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and PharmaCann, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
B. Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 9(A) (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND PHARMACANN (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE. For U.S. residents, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between PharmaCann and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Service, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. PharmaCann and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in Section 9(H) below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and PharmaCann regarding these Terms and the Service, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles.
Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of PharmaCann consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required and you are a U.S. resident, then it will be conducted in Cook County, Illinois. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require PharmaCann to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 9 to be enforceable, then PharmaCann will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.
C. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section 9(A); (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in Section 9(B); or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.
D. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 will not apply to any legal action taken by PharmaCann to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Service, any Content, your User-Generated Content and/or PharmaCann’s intellectual property rights (including such PharmaCann may claim that may be in dispute), PharmaCann’s operations, and/or PharmaCann’s products or services.
E. No Class Action Matters. YOU AND PHARMACANN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 9(B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 9(F). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
F. Jurisdictional Issues. Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Cook County, Illinois. Accordingly, you and PharmaCann consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
G. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.
H. Governing Law. These Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions

11. LIMITATIONS OF OUR LIABILITY
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY PHARMACANN PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OR FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, ECONOMIC, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT ARE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATED TO:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages of the sort that are described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PHARMACANN PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID PHARMACANN TO ACCESS THE SERVICE OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY IF A TRIBUNAL WITH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION FINDS SUCH TO BE UNCONSCIONABLE. FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY, THE PRIOR SENTENCE DOES NOT EXPAND OR LIMIT ANY EXPRESS, WRITTEN PRODUCT WARRANTY THAT IS PROVIDED BY US.
12. Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief
IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, USER-GENERATED CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY PHARMACANN (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED USER-GENERATED CONTENT) OR A LICENSOR OF PHARMACANN.
13. Updates to Terms
These Terms (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR SERVICE EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE SERVICE MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE SERVICE UNDER THE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS. Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Service (at least prior to each transaction or submission). The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Service will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You should frequently check the home page and the email you associated with your account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice. You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Service and related services.
14. General Provisions

Further, Participant agrees that by creating a VeriVIP account, Participant consents to the storage of their personally identifiable information such as name, email address, home address, transaction history, and any other purchase or demographic data collected by PharmaCann. Should Participant wish to receive text messages from PharmaCann, Participant will need to separately agree to and sign up for that functionality. Participant may opt out of email communications and marketing solicitations at any time, but will still remain part of VeriVIP unless Participant separately cancels their VeriVIP account as detailed below. Consent to receive emails from PharmaCann or enrollment in VeriVIP is not required as a condition of any purchase.
Any PharmaCann employee may participate in VeriVIP as long as the employee is also a qualifying customer or patient as described above.
Only one (1) VeriVIP account may be created per person, per email address. Any person attempting to create, obtain or use more than one VeriVIP account may be barred from participating in VeriVIP in PharmaCann’s sole discretion. Participant represents and warrants that all registration information submitted is truthful and accurate, and that Participant will maintain the accuracy of such information at all times. PharmaCann is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information supplied by Participant.
To cancel a VeriVIP account, please email info@pharmacann.com. Participant’s information will be removed from PharmaCann’s system within forty eight (48) hours of PharmaCann receiving Participant’s cancellation notification. Cancelling a VeriVIP account will remove the association of Participant’s personal information from any completed transactions. It will also remove any earned points or rewards that have been accrued by Customer through the date of termination.
HOW TO EARN POINTS WITH VERIVIP
Participant will accrue one (1) VeriVIP point (“Point”) for every one dollar ($1.00) spent on the total qualifying purchase of both cannabis and non-cannabis products (net of discounts, returns, credits, and taxes) made at any participating Verilife Dispensary. Participant may not transfer Points to anyone else including other VeriVIP Participants. Any purchases made prior to the launch date of VeriVIP will not be eligible to earn points for Participant. To ensure points are awarded to a VeriVIP account, Participant must log into their account at https://www.verilife.com/customer/register and display Participant’s personal QR code at checkout.

HOW TO REDEEM VERIVIP POINTS
Once Participant has accumulated two hundred (200) points, Participant may redeem these Points for an in-store value which will be applied to their purchase. Points can be redeemed in two hundred (200) Point increments. For every two hundred (200) Points earned and redeemed, Customer will receive five dollars ($5.00) off an in-store purchase. All redemptions are subject to applicable law. Points may not be redeemed for an in-store value when combined in the same purchase with any other rewards, promotions, or discounts offered by PharmaCann previously or in the future unless an item is specifically designated as a qualifying item to earn Points by PharmaCann at the time of purchase. PHARMACANN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POINTS THAT CANNOT BE REDEEMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
If the total sale of Participant’s purchase is greater than the Points being redeemed, Participant must provide payment for the remaining cost of the purchase prior to completing the transaction.
When Points are redeemed for an in-store value, these Points will be deducted from the Participant’s VeriVIP account point balance at the time of redemption. To redeem any accumulated points, Participant must log into their VeriVIP account at https://www.verilife.com/customer/register, display their personal QR code, and request a Point redemption prior to checkout being completed. Points may not be redeemed for cash. Points are only valid for in-store purchases. The entire amount of points which qualifies Participant for an in-store value must be used on the same purchase. If the entire amount of Points is not redeemed, any unused points will be forfeited.
Participant may earn Points in any state where points based reward systems and customer loyalty programs are allowed and where a Verilife Dispensary is located. Points may not be earned or redeemed in states that prohibit points based reward systems and or customer loyalty programs.
Points are non-transferable and can be redeemed only by the Participant associated with the VeriVIP account.
Should Participant return a product(s) that was purchased in a transaction where Points were redeemed, Participant will not be refunded any Points redeemed.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telephone devices and other equipment and software, and all internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed to receive calls and text messages.

Your obligations under these terms will survive termination of your Verilife Insider account and/or your relationship with PharmaCann.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you reside in the U.S. (and as applicable to U.S. residents), certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and PharmaCann agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
First: Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes: If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Verilife Insider Program (the “Program), your use and/or enrollment in the Program, communications relating to the Program, your relationship with PharmaCann, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of PharmaCann’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), which includes those actions set forth in the section entitled “Injunctive Relief” below, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Your notice to us must be sent via email to: info@pharmacann.com. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, PharmaCann and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or PharmaCann to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and PharmaCann, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
Binding Arbitration: If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in the manner described in the preceding paragraph (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND PHARMACANN (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE PROGRAM, ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE PROGRAM, OR COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO THE PROGRAM. For U.S. residents, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between PharmaCann and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Program, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. PharmaCann and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in the “Governing Law” Section below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and PharmaCann regarding these Terms and the Program, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles.
Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of PharmaCann consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required and you are a U.S. resident, then it will be conducted in Cook County, Illinois. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require PharmaCann to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Dispute Resolution Provision to be enforceable, then PharmaCann will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.
Limited Time to File Claims: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT AN EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN THE SECTION TITLED “First: Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes” ABOVE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in the Section titled “First: Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes” above; (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in the Section titled “Binding Arbitration” above; or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.
Injunctive Relief: The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution Provision will not apply to any legal action taken by PharmaCann to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Program, any Content, your User-Generated Content and/or PharmaCann’s intellectual property rights (including such PharmaCann may claim that may be in dispute), PharmaCann’s operations, and/or PharmaCann’s products or services.
No Class Action Matters. YOU AND PHARMACANN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in the Section titled “Binding Arbitration” above to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to the provisions of the Section titled “Jurisdictional Issues” below. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
Jurisdictional Issues: Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Cook County, Illinois. Accordingly, you and PharmaCann consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
Small Claims Matters are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.
Governing Law: These Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
