NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES OR LICENSING OF SOFTWARE HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Each Party to the Agreement, on behalf of itself and its employees, partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, agents, representatives and subcontractors (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”), will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party and its employees, partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, agents, representatives and subcontractors (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all threatened or actual costs, claims, actions, losses, liabilities, or penalties (including settlements, defense costs, judgments, court costs, expert(s) fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any nature whatsoever, and whether arising prior to, or after the execution or termination of the Agreement (“Claim”), arising out of, related to or based on such Indemnifying Party’s: (a) negligent acts or omissions; (b) violation of applicable law; or (c) violation, infringement or misappropriation of Party’s or any third party’s intellectual property rights.

Assignment.

Either Party may, at any time, assign, transfer or delegate the Agreement to an affiliate of such Party or to any successor of such Party; provided that such Party executes written contracts with all assignees, transferees, and delegates that contain protections for the other Party (including protections for such Party’s Confidential Information) at least as favorable to the other Party and no less restrictive and no less protective of the other Party’s rights than the provisions contained in the Agreement.

COOKIES, OTHER TRACKING DEVICES AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

A cookie is a small piece of data sent from the Sites and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing Sites (“Cookie”). Every time the user loads Sites, the browser sends the Cookie back to the server to notify the Sites of the user’s previous activity. Web beacons (also known as image tags, gif or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses (“Web beacons”). We also utilize pixels in connection with our email communications and in connection with the Sites. Our Sites’ web server automatically collects and we may use your Cookies, Web beacons, pixels and other similar tracking technologies (collectively “Tracking Technologies”) to collect information as you browse our Sites. We use Tracking Technologies, web server log files and tracking code, and information we receive through the use of these Tracking Technologies to analyze trends, administer the Sites, track users’ movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Information of this type may be combined with other sources of information for these purposes.  Certain pages of the Sites, and promotional email messages, or newsletters we send, may contain Tracking Technologies that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these Tracking Technologies may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Tracking Technologies may be used by these service providers to place a persistent Cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. The use of Tracking Technologies by third party service providers is within their control and not ours. We do not control their Sites or their policies and practices regarding your information and you should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their advertisements or promotions and other sites you encounter on the Internet. This Policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party service provider may directly collect from you and we do not undertake to confirm, investigate, or police their practices. For example, we work with the below:

Google Analytics. To help facilitate the delivery of relevant content, we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses Cookies to report on user interactions on our and others’ websites. We use the data collected for optimizing marketing, refining advertising and/or programming strategies, and generally improving user experience. For more information about Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data, please visit:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Instructions on opting out of Google Analytics using a specific plug-in is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Note that this opt-out is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use.

Facebook Analytics. We also use Facebook Analytics to measure your use of our Sites, tailor our Sites to your interests, and improve our products and services. Please note, Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy which can be found at facebook.com/about/privacy/. Please click here if you would like to withdraw your consent.

The practice of collecting these Tracking Technologies is a standard practice on the Internet. If you do not want us to collect your Cookies, you can set your browsers or third-party software to reject Cookies. If you reject the Cookie, you may be unable to use portions of our Sites that require registration, some pages of the Sites might not function properly, and the Sites experience will not be capable of being tailored to you from visit to visit. Also note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising, these Tracking Technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioral information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests. Please consult your web browser’s Help documentation for more information about how to turn these Cookies on and off for your browser. The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising Cookies. Please visit their website here to learn more and to opt-out, if desired. Additionally, the Digital Advertising Alliance provides an opt-out mobile app to control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device, available on the Apple StoreGoogle Play, and Amazon’s Appstore.

By visiting our Sites, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to track your activities through use of these Tracking Technologies and that we may use Tracking Technologies in the emails we send you. You will not be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling.

LAWFUL BASES

We rely upon the following lawful bases for processing personal information:

  • To protect your vital interests. We may, for example, process personal information for health and safety reasons if you are at a COMPANY facility or in the event of a recall.
  • At your direction and with your consent.
  • For scientific research purposes.
  • For other legitimate business purposes. We may also rely on our legitimate interest to improve business and marketing practices. This includes but is not limited to legal compliance, research and analysis, data linkage and combining, and other purposes described above. When we rely on our legitimate interest, we’ll carry out a legitimate interest assessment to ensure we consider and balance any potential impact to your rights under applicable data protection laws before we carry out any data processing.

We may also transfer your personal information across borders (including to the United States whose data protection law may not be the same as in your country of residence), from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions in accordance with legal requirements. You acknowledge you understand that by providing your personal information to us, your personal information (i) will be used for the uses identified in accordance with this Policy, and (ii) may be transferred as indicated above, in accordance with applicable law.

HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

The “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) privacy preference is an option that may be made in some web browsers allowing you to opt-out of tracking by websites and online services. At this time, global standard DNT technology is not yet finalized and not all browsers support DNT. We therefore do not recognize DNT signals and do not respond to them.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your information for as long as needed to provide you products and services and to comply with our accounting and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Your personal information will be destroyed or permanently deleted as required by applicable law.

SECURITY

While no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have reasonable and appropriate security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your personal information under our control. We have taken reasonable steps to confirm the information is retained in secured facilities and that reasonable measures have been implemented for protection from unauthorized access. However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our Sites or databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We ask that you do your part by maintaining any usernames and passwords you use to access the Internet or the Sites strictly confidential. If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Sites or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Sites. We may post a notice via our Sites if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing and we will notify you as required by applicable law. We will also notify relevant government authorities, as required by applicable law.

WE DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS OR YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD! If you receive such email communication, please forward it immediately to privacypolicy@edible.com and then immediately delete the fraudulent email from your computer.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California law (“CCPA”) grants California residents rights with regard to their personal information. Our personal information collection, use and sharing practices are detailed in the PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT, USE, AND SHARE section above and throughout this Policy. Rights provided to you in connection with your personal information are as follows:

  • Right to Opt-out of Sale of Personal Information: While you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information if a company sells your personal information, COMPANY does not sell personal information, including personal information from California residents who we know are younger than 16 years old, as we understand that term to be defined by the CCPA and its implementing regulations.
  • Verifiable Request to Delete: California residents have the right to request deletion of their personal information that we have collected about them and to have such personal information deleted, except where an exemption applies.
  • Verifiable Request to Know: California residents have the right to request and, subject to certain exemptions, receive a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about them in the prior 12 months and to have this information delivered free of charge, either (a) by mail or (b) if we hold the information in electronic format, electronically in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable format that allows the individual to transmit this information to another entity without hindrance. California residents also have the right to request that we provide them certain information about how we have handled their personal information in the prior 12 months, including the: categories of personal information collected; categories of sources of personal information; business and/or commercial purposes for collecting and selling their personal information; categories of third parties with whom we have disclosed or shared their personal information; categories of personal information that we have disclosed or shared with a third party for a business purpose; and categories of third parties to whom the residents’ personal information has been sold and the specific categories of personal information sold to each category of third party. California residents may make Requests to Know up to twice every 12 months.

Submitting Requests: Requests to Know and Requests to Delete may be submitted by emailing us at privacypolicy@edible.com, or by contacting us at 1-877 363-7848 (toll free). Whenever feasible for verification, we will match the identifying information provided by you to the personal information already maintained by us. If, however, we cannot verify your identify from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Such authorized agent must have permission to submit requests on your behalf. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California consumers as required by law.

Right to Non-Discrimination and Financial Incentives. We offer various financial incentives (“Program”). The terms of the Program will be presented to you at the time you sign up. California residents may also subsequently opt-out of the Program by emailing us at rewards@edible.com and asking for us to cancel your participation in the Program. These financial incentives are reasonably related to the value of the data you provide.

 

The CCPA prohibits unreasonable adverse treatment (called “discrimination”) of California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA.

Depending on your residence, you may have rights available to you regarding your personal information. We respond to any rights request in accordance with applicable legal requirements. You may have the right to access, review, correct, update, object to processing or deactivate the personal information that we maintain about you, including any member or account information, or ask for a list of service providers handling your personal information, at any time by sending a written request to the postal or email address set out below, or following the instructions in any promotional email you receive from us. We may take a reasonable period of time to respond consistent with the timelines provided for in applicable law to which you are subject. If you request the deactivation or change of information on our system, such information may be retained in our backup systems for a period of time subject to technology restrictions, or as a precaution against systems failures. Some information may be retained for longer periods as required by law, contract or auditing requirements.
