Our Terms of Service were updated on September 16, 2021.
GreenThumb Automation LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, "GreenThumb Automation") provides (1) the GreenThumb Automation website located at www.GreenThumbAutomation.com, and all associated sites linked to www.GreenThumbAutomation.com, including the GreenThumb Automation forum website that may be accessed at forum.GreenThumbAutomation.com, and the GreenThumb Automation API website that may be accessed at api.GreenThumbAutomation.com (each a "Site"), (2) services accessible through the Sites ("Web Apps"), (3) software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services ("Mobile Apps"), and (4) subscription services, including services that can be accessed using the Web Apps and Mobile Apps ("Subscription Services"), all for use in conjunction with GreenThumb Automation hardware products ("Products") and in other ways that GreenThumb Automation provides. Some GreenThumb Automation Products and Services can be used together or in ways that integrate with products and services from third parties. The term "Services" means the Sites, Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and Subscription Services.
These Terms of Service ("Terms" or "Agreement") govern your access to, and use of, the Services and Products. Please read these Terms carefully. They require the use of mandatory binding arbitration to resolve disputes rather than jury trials or group litigation. Please follow the instructions in the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Section below if you wish to opt out of this provision. The term "you", as used in these Terms, means any person or entity who accesses or uses the Services or Products and any person or entity who creates an Account (as defined in Section 2(a) and accepts these Terms, including Owners, Authorized Users (as defined in Section 2(b), and the parents or guardians of Authorized Users, as applicable (as described in Section 1((b)(ii)). These Terms give you specific legal rights. In addition, you may also have other legal rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, mandatory and binding arbitration, limitations of liability, indemnification, waiver of jury trial, waiver of class action and waiver of punitive damages under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
THESE TERMS ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS THROUGH A SITE, WEB APP OR MOBILE APP, OR BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE SITES) OR PRODUCTS, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS AND USE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY (SUBJECT TO SECTION 1(b)(ii) BELOW) TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE, SUBJECT TO SECTION 1(b)(ii) BELOW, OF SUFFICIENT LEGAL AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION OR RESIDENCE TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD DISCONNECT YOUR PRODUCTS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) AND CEASE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPDATE OF THE SERVICES AND OF THE PRODUCTS CONNECTED TO THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, SECTIONS 4 AND 5 DESCRIBE IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE SAFETY AND CRITICAL USES. PLEASE READ THESE DISCLOSURES CAREFULLY, AS YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THEM AND ACCEPTING THEM.
1. Overview, Eligibility, Customer Service, Term and Termination
(a) Overview and Relation to Other Agreements. These Terms govern your use of the Services and Products. Your purchase of any Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Product ("Limited Warranty") and may further be governed by the Terms & Conditions of Sale. The software embedded in the Product (and any updates thereto) ("Product Software") is licensed and governed by the End User License Agreement. Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms or rules, which will be posted on the Services in connection with such features. All additional guidelines, terms or rules and the Website Privacy Policy ("Website Privacy Policy") and the Privacy Statement ("Privacy Statement") are incorporated by reference into these Terms and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by using the Services and Products.
(b) Eligibility. (i) You may use the Services and Products only if you have the legal capacity to form a binding contract with GreenThumb Automation (except subject to the provisions of clause (1)(b)(ii) below), you accept these Terms through a Site, Web App or Mobile App, or by accessing or using the Services or Products, and only if you are in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state/provincial, national and international laws, rules and regulations. Only individuals aged 18 and older are permitted to act as Owners of GreenThumb Automation Accounts. (ii) If you are an Authorized User, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside), and in the event you are between the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) and the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside, that you will only use the Services and Products under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. Any use or access to the Services and Products by individuals under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms. The Services and Products are not available to any users previously prohibited from using the Services and Products by GreenThumb Automation.
(c) Customer Service. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Products, the Services or these Terms, please contact GreenThumb Automation. You understand and agree that customer service and any customer care and support offered and provided by GreenThumb Automation is not a 911 service or dispatch center, an emergency service provider or dispatch service, or a lifesaving solution for people at risk in their home or otherwise. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE OR ANY CUSTOMER CARE AND SUPPORT OFFERED BY GreenThumb Automation WITH ANY LIFE/SAFETY EMERGENCY, MEDICAL EMERGENCY, OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUCH EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT, 911 OR APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE.
(d) Term and Termination. These Terms will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Services or Products, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. At any time, GreenThumb Automation may (i) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Services, or (ii) terminate these Terms with respect to you if GreenThumb Automation, in good faith, believes that you have used the Services or Products in violation of these Terms, including any incorporated guidelines, terms or rules. If you transfer a Product to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates and the new owner will have no right to use the Product or Services under your Account (as described below) and will need to register for a separate Account with GreenThumb Automation and accept these Terms.
(e) Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms, your Account and your right to use the Services will automatically terminate.
2. Accounts
(a) Your Account. To use certain Services and Products, you must register for a user account ("Account") and provide certain information about yourself, as prompted by the applicable registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information that you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) your use of the Services and Products will not violate any US or other applicable law or regulation (e.g., you are not located in an embargoed country or are not listed as a prohibited or restricted party under applicable export control laws and regulations). You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to use "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Account and to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access. You agree to immediately notify GreenThumb Automation of any unAuthorized use or suspected unAuthorized use of your Account, or any other breach of security. GreenThumb Automation is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
(b) The individual who creates an Account is the "Owner" of that Account and is the Owner of the Products associated with that Account. Individuals who are Authorized to access an Owner’s Products and Services are "Authorized Users". Authorized Users may have the ability to use the Services and monitor and control the Products (for example, an Authorized User can change your heating and cooling schedule or turn your camera on or off). Authorized Users may also have the ability to view information (including personal information) and content across all of an Owner’s Products, Services and Works with GreenThumb Automation connections (for example, an Authorized User will receive mobile alerts or can view your video history). Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Products and Services, but the Owner also hereby agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users relating to the Owner’s Products, Services and Account. If you are an Owner who invites or enables an Authorized User, you acknowledge and agree that said Authorized User may subsequently invite or enable other Authorized Users with the same access and ability to use your Products and Services set out above. As a result, if you are an Owner, you should only authorise those individuals whom you trust to access your Account, Products and Services.
3. Access to Services
(a) Access and Use. Subject to these Terms, GreenThumb Automation grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive right (without the right to sub-license) to access and use the Services by (i) using the Web Apps in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, controlling and monitoring the Products you own or are Authorized to control and monitor or otherwise accessing a service explicitly provided by GreenThumb Automation for your use (the "Permitted Purpose"), (ii) installing and using the Mobile Apps solely on your own handheld mobile device (e.g., iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone) and solely for the Permitted Purpose, and (iii) accessing the Sites solely for the Permitted Purpose.
(b) Automatic Software Updates. GreenThumb Automation may, from time to time, develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Services and/or the Product Software ("Updates"). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent. You consent to this automatic update. If you do not want such Updates, your remedy is to terminate your Account and stop using the Services and the Products. If you do not terminate a previously created Account, you will receive Updates automatically. You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to use the Services and the Products and you agree to install any Updates that GreenThumb Automation provides promptly. Your continued use of the Services and the Products is your agreement – (i) to these Terms with respect to the Services and Products, and (ii) to the End User License Agreement with respect to updated Product Software; and (iii) any change or updates that GreenThumb Automation may make to these Terms or the End User License Agreement over time.
(c) GreenThumb Automation-provided interface to Third-Party Products and Services. Over time, GreenThumb Automation may provide the opportunity for you to interface the Products and Services to one or more third-party products and services, through and using the Services, for example through the Works with GreenThumb Automation platform ("Third-Party Products and Services"). You decide whether you want to interface, and with which Third-Party Products and Services you want to interface. Your explicit consent and authorization is required for this interface and is revocable by you at any time. Once your consent is given for a particular Third-Party Product and Service, you agree that GreenThumb Automation may exchange information and control data regarding you and your products, including your personal information, in order to enable the interface that you have Authorized. Once this information is shared with the particular Third-Party Product and Service, its use will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy and not by GreenThumb Automation’s privacy documentation. You acknowledge and agree that GreenThumb Automation makes no representation or warranty about the quality or safety of any Third-Party Products or Services or the interface with Product and Services. Accordingly, GreenThumb Automation is not responsible for your use of any Third-Party Product or Service, or any personal injury, death, property damage (including, without limitation, to your home), or other harm or losses arising from or relating to your use of any Third-Party Products or Services. You should contact the third party with any questions about their Third-Party Products and Services.
(d) Certain materials may be displayed or performed on the Services (including, but not limited to, text, graphics, articles, photographs, video, images and illustrations ("Content")). The Content also includes information that you and other users provide us with in the course of using the Services (collectively, "User Submissions"), which we may use to provide, maintain and improve the Services. Some Content may be visible to others (for example, the Services allows you to upload, post or otherwise share video content). You may also post feedback, comments, questions or other information on the Sites. You are solely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise disseminate using, or in connection with, the Services, or that you contribute in any manner to the Services; you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it; and you license to GreenThumb Automation all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to such Content for publication on the Service pursuant to these Terms. You shall abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Services, and shall not use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purposes whatsoever any Content or third-party submissions or other proprietary rights not owned by you: (i) without the express prior written consent of the respective owners, and (ii) in any way that violates any third-party right. GreenThumb Automation reserves the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Content or if we are concerned that you may have breached the immediately preceding sentence), or for no reason at all.
(e) Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in these Terms are subject to the following restrictions: (i) you agree not to license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host or otherwise commercially exploit the Services or Products; (ii) you agree not to modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse-compile or reverse-engineer any part of the Services or Products; (iii) you agree not to access the Services or Products in order to build a similar or competitive service or product; (iv) except as expressly stated herein, no part of the Services or Products may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted or transmitted in any form or by any means; (v) you agree not to upload, transmit or distribute any computer viruses, worms or any software intended to damage or alter a computer or communications network, computer, handheld mobile device, data, the Services, the Products, the Product Software or any other system, device or property; (vi) you agree not to interfere with, disrupt or attempt to gain unAuthorized access to the servers or networks connected to the Services or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks; (vii) you agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by means other than through the interface that is provided by GreenThumb Automation; and (viii) you agree not to remove, obscure or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyrights and trademark notices) that may be contained in, or displayed in connection with, the Services or Products. Any future release, update or other addition to functionality of the Services shall be subject to these Terms.
(f) Open Source. Certain items of independent, third-party code may be included in the Web Apps and/or Mobile Apps that are subject to the GNU General Public License ("GPL") or other open-source licences ("Open-Source Software"). The Open-Source Software is licensed under the terms of the licence that accompanies such Open-Source Software. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end-user licence for such Open-Source Software. In particular, nothing in these Terms restricts your right to copy, modify and distribute such Open-Source Software that is subject to the terms of the GPL.
(g) Privacy. Please review Section 4(m) below, the Privacy Policy for GreenThumb Automation Web Sites and the Privacy Statement for GreenThumb Automation Products and Services. These documents describe practices regarding the information that you or GreenThumb Automation may collect from users of the Products and Services, including any Content or User Submissions.
(h) Security. GreenThumb Automation cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. We endeavor to implement appropriate security measures. However, GreenThumb Automation cannot guarantee that unAuthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
(i) Modification. GreenThumb Automation reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend or discontinue the Services or any part thereof with or without notice. You agree that GreenThumb Automation will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services or any part thereof.
(j) Access Outside Certain Countries. Although the Sites are accessible worldwide, the Products and Services provided or accessed through or on the Sites are not available to all persons or in all countries. If you choose to access the Sites from outside a country in which GreenThumb Automation supports the Product and Services listed here ("Target Country"), you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws in your country. You understand and accept that the Sites are not designed for use in a non-Target Country and that some, or all, of the features of the Sites may not work or be appropriate for use in such a country. To the extent permissible by law, GreenThumb Automation accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage or loss caused by your access or use of the Sites or GreenThumb Automation Products in a non-Target Country. You will be bound by these Terms wherever you access or use the Sites or the Services.
4. Agreed Usage and Limitations of GreenThumb Automation Services and Products
(a) Intended Use of GreenThumb Automation Services. The Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of GreenThumb Automation Products. While we aim for the Services to be highly reliable and available, they are not intended to be reliable or available 100% of the time. The Services are subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond GreenThumb Automation’s control, including Wi-Fi intermittency, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and operators, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that GreenThumb Automation is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services.
(b) No Life Safety or Critical Uses of the Products and Services. You acknowledge and agree that the Products and Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with Third-Party Products or Services, are not certified for emergency response, unless expressly approved and certified by GreenThumb Automation as enabled for central station monitoring through a professional central station monitoring facility ("Pro Monitoring Enabled GreenThumb Automation Products"). GreenThumb Automation makes no warranty or representation that use of the Products (including, without limitation, any Pro Monitoring Enabled GreenThumb Automation Product) or Services with any Third-Party Product or Service will affect or increase any level of safety. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, EXCEPT FOR PRO MONITORING ENABLED GreenThumb Automation PRODUCTS, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WHETHER STANDING ALONE OR INTERFACED WITH THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL GreenThumb Automation DISPATCH EMERGENCY SERVICES TO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
(c) Central Station Monitoring for Pro Monitoring Enabled GreenThumb Automation Products. For Pro-Monitoring Enabled GreenThumb Automation Products, you may be given the option of selecting a subscription plan with a third-party professional central monitoring provider (the "Third-Party Monitoring Provider") for professional monitoring and related emergency notification and dispatch of emergency authorities ("Pro-Monitoring"). You understand and agree that if you select a Pro Monitoring subscription plan, you are contracting directly with the Monitoring Provider to provide the Pro Monitoring; you are not contracting with GreenThumb Automation to provide the Pro Monitoring and GreenThumb Automation will not be providing the Pro Monitoring. You further understand that the Monitoring Provider and GreenThumb Automation are independent operating companies. There is no legal partnership, agency, joint venture, employer/employee, master/servant, or other similar legal relationship between the Monitoring Provider and GreenThumb Automation, and the Monitoring Provider is not a subcontractor of GreenThumb Automation. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT PRO MONITORING WILL ONLY WORK WITH PRO MONITORING ENABLED GreenThumb Automation PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO USE PRO MONITORING WITH ANY PRODUCTS, WHETHER MANUFACTURED OR SOLD BY GreenThumb Automation OR THIRD PARTIES, THAT ARE NOT PRO MONITORING ENABLED GreenThumb Automation PRODUCTS.
(d) Permits and Registration for Pro Monitoring. Some local governments have various permit or registration requirements for use of the Products with Pro Monitoring. Without the required permit or registration, emergency responders may not respond to requests from a Third-Party Monitoring Provider for emergency dispatch, and/or fines and penalties may be levied against you by the applicable local government. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining and renewing any permit or registration that may be required by your local government in the event you select a subscription plan for Pro Monitoring of the Products. Further, you agree to be solely responsible for any fines and penalties that may be assessed against you arising from your failure to obtain, maintain and renew any applicable permits or registrations.
(e) Reliability of Services. You acknowledge that the Services, including remote access and mobile notifications, are not error-free or 100% reliable and 100% available. Proper functioning of the Services relies and is dependent on, among other things, the transmission of data through your wi-fi network, enabled wireless device (such as a phone or tablet) and broadband internet access, or optional Cellular Backup service, for which neither GreenThumb Automation nor any wireless or data carrier is responsible, and may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations, and priority access by emergency responders in the event of a disaster or emergency (collectively, "Service Interruptions"). You understand that Service Interruptions may result in the Services being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications within any given time, or at all. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR GreenThumb Automation PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY-NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. There is no way for GreenThumb Automation to provide specific information relating to a situation in your home or elsewhere. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
(f) Service Interruptions; no refund or rebate. The Services may be suspended temporarily, without notice, for security reasons, systems failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. GreenThumb Automation does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Services.
(g) System Requirements. The Services will not be accessible without: (i) a working Wi-Fi network in your home that is positioned to communicate reliably with the Products; (ii) an Account; (iii) an enabled and supported wireless device, such as a phone or tablet (required for some features and functionalities of the Service); (iv) always-on broadband Internet access in your home with bandwidth sufficient to support the Products you use; and (v) other system elements that may be specified by GreenThumb Automation. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required system elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Services may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met. If you modify, substitute, move, or otherwise change any of the required system elements, it is your sole duty and responsibility to be sure they are compatible and properly configured to work with the Products and Services. In addition, you acknowledge that GreenThumb Automation may activate Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet, with or without prior notification, in order to facilitate proper operation of the Services, enable communication with GreenThumb Automation Products connected to the same GreenThumb Automation account and enable certain features (such as remote silencing of a smoke or CO alarm on GreenThumb Automation Protect).
(h) Cellular Back-Up in Case of Wi-Fi Outage. In the event of any Service Interruptions to your home’s Wi-Fi network or internet connection, the Services may be unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. If you have subscribed for Pro Monitoring, this means that the Third-Party Monitoring Provider may not receive alarm signals from your Pro Monitoring Enabled GreenThumb Automation Products to provide Pro Monitoring, and may be unable to dispatch emergency responders in the event of an actual emergency. Further, features and functionalities of the Products and Services may be unavailable on you Mobile App for the duration of the Service Interruption. You may have an option of selecting a cellular back-up subscription plan ("Cellular Backup") to help improve connectivity in the event of any Service Interruption and decrease the likelihood of interruption of the Services (including Pro Monitoring) and access to the various features and functionalities of your Products and Services on your Mobile App.
(i) Energy Savings and Other Benefits. Unless explicitly promising a "guarantee", GreenThumb Automation does not guarantee or promise any specific level of energy savings or other monetary benefit from the use of the Products or Services or any feature thereof. Actual energy savings and monetary benefits vary depending on factors beyond GreenThumb Automation’s control or knowledge. From time to time, GreenThumb Automation may use the Services to provide you with information that is unique to you and your energy usage and suggest an opportunity to save money on energy bills if you adopt suggestions or features of the Product or Services. We do this to highlight an opportunity based on our analysis and information about you and your household. You acknowledge that these promotions are not a guarantee of actual savings and you agree not to seek monetary or other remedies from GreenThumb Automation if your savings differ.
(j) The Services provide you with information ("Product Information") regarding the Products in your home and their connection with other products and services. All Product Information is provided "as is" and "as available". We cannot guarantee that it is correct or up to date. In cases where it is critical, accessing Product Information through the Services is not a substitute for direct access of the information in the home.
(k) All information publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom (or from whose account) such Content originated and GreenThumb Automation will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any Content. GreenThumb Automation cannot guarantee the identity of any other users with whom you may interact in the course of using the Services. In addition, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of any data that users or merchants may provide about themselves. You acknowledge that all Content accessed by you using the Services is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services.
(l) You warrant, represent and agree that you will not contribute any Content or otherwise use the Services or Products in a manner that (i) infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy or other rights of any third party; (ii) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation or is otherwise illegal; (iii) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous or otherwise objectionable; (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including, without limitation, any employee or representative of GreenThumb Automation; (v) contains a virus, Trojan Horse, worm, time bomb or other harmful computer code, file or programme; (vi) jeopardises the security of your GreenThumb Automation Account or anyone else’s Account (such as allowing someone else to log into the Services as you); (vii) attempts, in any manner, to obtain or access the password, account, products, devices, systems, or other security information from any other user or third party; (viii) violates the security of any computer network or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; (ix) runs Maillist, Listserv or any form of auto-responder or "spam" on the Services or any processes that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure); (x) copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; (xi) decompiles, reverse-engineers or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services; (xii) denigrates or disrupts any network capacity or functionality; or (xiii) engages in remote monitoring to provide professional medical care for any individual, including without limitation, in any health care and assisted living environment.
(m) Privacy and Data Protection Laws. GreenThumb Automation Products and Services are primarily intended for purely personal and household use. Nonetheless, data protection and privacy laws where you live may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of the Products and Services. For certain video, audio, and facial recognition data that you collect using Products and Services (e.g., video and audio signals and data from GreenThumb Automation Cam) as an Owner or Authorized User, you are the controller of certain data these Products and Services collect, and GreenThumb Automation is the processor of that data, under applicable laws.

In these situations, GreenThumb Automation will endeavor to: (i) only process data at your instruction; (ii) ensure that persons permitted to process data through us on your behalf are committed to confidentiality; (iii) only engage a third party service provider (sub-processor) that provide an equivalent level of protection as set forth herein; (iv) engage a new third-party service provider (sub-processor) only after GreenThumb Automation has provided notice of such changes by posting to the website listed below and allowed you ten (10) calendar days to object after notice is given. In the event you do object, GreenThumb Automation will make reasonable efforts to address your objection. After this process, if a resolution has not been agreed to within five (5) calendar days, GreenThumb Automation will proceed with engaging the third-party service provider. You will have the opportunity to terminate your use of Products and Services without penalty. The list of GreenThumb Automation sub-processors can be found here.

5. Limitations of GreenThumb Automation Services Due to Third Parties

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/JURY TRIAL WAIVER/WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Arbitration. GreenThumb Automation and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that arise from or relate to these Terms or the Services or Products in any way, except for claims arising from bodily injury. THIS ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND NOT PERMISSIVE. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, including, for example:
• claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us that is created by or involves these Terms or the Services or Products, regardless of the legal theory;
• claims for mental or emotional distress or other emotional/mental injury arising from the relationship between us;
• claims that arose before you accepted these Terms (such as claims related to disclosures or the marketing of the Services or Products, or the process for seeking approval to use the Services or Products);
• claims that may arise after the termination of your use of the Services or Products or any agreement between us; and
• claims brought by or against our respective subsidiaries, parent companies, members and affiliates, as well as the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns of these entities, you, and GreenThumb Automation.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either of us from bringing an individualised action in small claims court. It also does not preclude either of us from seeking an individualised preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, pending arbitration, in any court that has jurisdiction. Nor does this arbitration agreement bar you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. In addition, you or GreenThumb Automation may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect your or its trade secrets and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss or damage to its services in any court with competent jurisdiction.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE, LAW, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH (A) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY; (B) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (C) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST THE OTHER. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
(b) Notice of Disputes. If either of us intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to GreenThumb Automation should be sent to: GreenThumb Automation Legal Department, 6313 Palma Pl NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120, USA. GreenThumb Automation will send notice to you at the email and/or mailing addresses associated with your account. Your notice to GreenThumb Automation must (a) provide your name, mailing address, and email address; (b) describe the dispute; and (c) state the relief you are requesting. If we are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
(c) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider or the court shall appoint a substitute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you are receiving GreenThumb Automation Services. If the value of your claim is USD $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of your claim exceeds USD $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or the arbitrability of disputes are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider, but is not bound by, rulings in other arbitrations between GreenThumb Automation and GreenThumb Automation users. The arbitrator can award the same individualised damages and relief that a court can award. Judgement on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
(d) Costs of Arbitration. The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). GreenThumb Automation will pay all AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that GreenThumb Automation commences. If you provided GreenThumb Automation with 60 days’ notice of your intent to arbitrate before commencing arbitration and the value of your claim is USD $75,000 or less, GreenThumb Automation will pay your share of any such AAA fees. If the value of your claim exceeds USD $75,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules (unless the law of your state requires GreenThumb Automation to pay all such fees). If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse GreenThumb Automation for amounts that GreenThumb Automation paid on your behalf.
(e) No Class Arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND GreenThumb Automation 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 GROUP LITIGATION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or group proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
(f) 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 13, you must notify GreenThumb Automation in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to GreenThumb Automation at the following address: GreenThumb Automation Legal Department, 6313 Palma Pl NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120, USA. Subject to Section 13(g) below, if you do not notify GreenThumb Automation in accordance with this Section 13(f), you agree to be bound by the arbitration and group litigation waiver provisions of these Terms, including such provisions in any Terms revised after the date of your first acceptance.
Such notification must include: (a) your name, (b) your GreenThumb Automation account email address, (c) your mailing address and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with GreenThumb Automation through arbitration. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with GreenThumb Automation or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and GreenThumb Automation.
(g) Future Changes to Arbitration Provision. If GreenThumb Automation makes any changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Section of these Terms (other than a change to the address at which GreenThumb Automation will receive notices of dispute, opt-out notices or rejections of future changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Section), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to GreenThumb Automation Legal Department, 6313 Palma Pl NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120, USA. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Section of these Terms if you had properly opted out of the arbitration and group litigation waiver provisions in this Section 13 within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms. If you have not properly opted out of the arbitration and group litigation waiver provisions in this Section 13, by rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration provision, as modified by any changes you did not reject.
