Subscription Agreement:

In order to procure equipment from us you must agree to the terms of an equipment Master Services Agreement (MSA). You must carefully review, understand, and consent to the terms of the MSA prior to your acceptance thereof. The MSA may be provided to you in electronic format. You shall be provided with a copy of your MSA by e-mail. A "soft pull" credit check may be performed in order to inform whether Pada Ventures, Inc, will extend "credit" in the form of NET Payment Terms. In the event you are denied services from Pada Ventures, Inc., due to your credit score (also known as an "adverse event"), and in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Risk-Base Pricing Rule, we will provide notice to you in the form of email correspondence. You may be subject to a non-investigative consumer report for our verification of your credit and/or ability to maintain consistent payments for our service prior to our delivery of equipment pursuant to the MSA. By providing such information to us, you consent and authorize us to obtain and transmit your name, billing address, email address, phone number, and all other relevant personally identifiable information to a credit reporting agency for purposes of verifying your credit history and rating.

Right to Refuse:

GroWrk reserves the right to refuse service to any customer or potential customer. Pada Ventures, Inc's intentions are to protect its employees and contractors, minimizing any tension or personal violation and respecting and servicing the customer fairly. GroWrk reserves the right to refuse service if any unsafe or unreasonable behavior or situations are encountered, including but not limited to: 1) Violent, threatening, or discriminatory behavior, 2) Personally insulting, yelling, or cursing/swearing, 3) Intoxication, 4) Theft, 5) Non-conforming to delivery requirements, including: i) The safety of the environment (to include parking and unloading areas, doorways, stairways, elevators, and anywhere delivery teams must travel or spend time in throughout the delivery), ii) Presenting and matching delivery identification and delivery contacts, 6) Illegal activities.

Delivery:

Delivery shall take place on despatch of the Products to the Customer from GroWrk’s or GroWrk partner's premises for delivery to the Customer’s premises set out in these Conditions, unless otherwise agreed in writing by GroWrk. The Products may be delivered by GroWrk in advance of the quoted delivery date. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that if it requests that GroWrk change the delivery date, delivery address or delivery time previously agreed between the Customer and the Supplier in respect of any Product, this may affect the overall delivery time for all Products specified in the Customer’s order. GroWrk hereby agrees to inform the Customer in the event that the overall delivery time for the Products is so affected. Although dates for delivery are given in good faith, these are indicative only and time of delivery shall not be of the essence. GroWrk shall use reasonable efforts to deliver orders as soon as reasonably practicable and to inform the Customer if there may be any delays in the delivery of the Products. If the Supplier is unable to deliver any Product by the agreed delivery date the Supplier shall not be liable to the Customer for any delay caused as a result of the failure to deliver. If GroWrk fails to deliver the Products within 10 working days of the agreed delivery date, the Customer shall have the right to receive a refund of monies paid to GroWrk only in respect of those Products which the Supplier has failed to deliver within 10 working days of the agreed delivery date.

Third-Party Links: The App may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by us. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access a third-party website from the App, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such sites. You expressly relieve us from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.

Disclaimers; Restrictions; Indemnification:

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREUNDER, THE APP AND GOODS AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, IS PROVIDED "AS IS," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXPECTED RESULTS OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM OR LOSS CLAIMED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD-PARTY RELATING TO BUSINESS DECISIONS MADE BY YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE APP AND THE CONTENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO THE APP OR THE SERVICES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE OR WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING FROM THE APP OR THE CONTENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL GROWRK’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY) EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GROWRK OVER THE PRECEDING THREE-MONTH PERIOD. You warrant that you will not use the App to conduct or engage in unlawful activities; to violate any law or regulation; or to violate or infringe upon our rights or the rights of any third-party, including without limitation, contractual rights, intellectual property rights, and privacy rights. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, employees, agents, assigns and licensors from any and all claims, demands, liability, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to any breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by you in these Terms of Use.

Arbitration:

For any dispute with GroWrk, you agree to first contact us at hello@growrk.com - ATTN: LEGAL and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we are not able to resolve any dispute after (60) days, we each agree to resolve any dispute (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by JAMS. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and GroWrk agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the App for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.

Note for California Users:

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California website users are entitled to know that they may file grievances and complaints with the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, in writing at 400 R.

Miscellaneous:

You agree that GroWrk shall be deemed solely based in California. These Terms of Use shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Los Angeles County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction or notice. No waiver of any provision of these terms by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to maintain the App and/or provide the Content as a result of conditions beyond our control such as, but not limited to, war, strikes, fires, floods, governmental restrictions, power failures, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, pandemics or damage or destruction of any network facilities or servers, shall not be deemed a breach of these Terms of Use.
