Questions

If you have any questions or concerns with your order, please e-mail us at hello@houseplant.com.

20. Cannabis

Not everyone accepts cannabis use as permissible. For example, some employers may have anti-drug policies that disallow cannabis use.

You acknowledge that by interacting with the Services, providing your information to us, allowing us to collect data about you, permitting us to send you communications, or using our products, could imply to employers, friends, family, or others that you are a cannabis product user, which could have unwanted social, legal, employment, economic, or other impacts that could affect you, including, without limitation, your loss of employment, and that Houseplant shall not be held liable for damages arising out of or connected with the foregoing because your use of the Services and our products is solely at your own risk.

The Services support our licensing of intellectual property to various licensed cannabis facilities in various states in which such uses are permitted by local and state law. All cannabis products advertised on the Site are offered by the licensee thereof solely in locations where and under conditions in which such products may be legally sold.

Cannabis is a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance under the Controlled Substance Act (21 U.S.C. 802) and therefore the cultivation, distribution, and possession of cannabis, or conspiring with or assisting others to do the same, is a crime under federal law and can result in significant criminal and civil penalties. You further acknowledge that medical use is not recognized as a valid defense under federal laws regulating cannabis, and that the interstate transportation of cannabis is a federal offense. ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES OR BUSINESS RELATED TO CANNABIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
