Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and WeedBates ("WeedBates," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the WeedBates website, apps, and related services (the "Services"), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. What WeedBates Is — and Is Not

WeedBates is a receipt-scan cash-back and marketing-facilitation platform. Consumers scan purchase receipts and earn cash back funded by participating brands, retailers, and other advertisers. WeedBates acts solely as an intermediary that facilitates offers and marketing between those advertisers and you, and earns a fee for providing that facilitation.

WeedBates is not:

  • a cannabis retailer, dispensary, producer, or seller of any product;
  • the advertiser of record, manufacturer, or provider of any product or service that is marketed or offered through the Services;
  • a bank, money transmitter, or issuer of stored value;
  • a provider of medical, legal, tax, or financial advice.

3. Eligibility

You must be an adult of legal age to purchase cannabis in your jurisdiction (21+ in most states) and legally permitted to use the Services. By using the Services you represent that you meet these requirements, that the information you provide is accurate, and that you will use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws.

4. Accounts

You must create an account to use most features. You are responsible for the accuracy of your information, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may verify your age and identity (including via government-ID scan) and may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts to prevent fraud, duplicate accounts, or abuse.

5. Cash-Back Program

  • You scan eligible receipts to earn cash back funded by participating advertisers.
  • Cash back is credited to your WeedBates wallet after we verify the receipt, which may include matching purchases to funded offers and confirming the purchase occurred (including by comparing store and device location).
  • Cash out is available via supported methods (e.g., Venmo, CashApp, Zelle), subject to minimums and verification.
  • Wallet balances represent cash-back you have earned; they are not a bank deposit, stored-value instrument, or legal tender, and we may hold, review, adjust, or reverse amounts we reasonably believe are the result of error, fraud, tampering, duplicate or ineligible submissions, or violation of these Terms.
  • Offer availability, cash-back amounts, budgets, and eligibility are set by advertisers and by us and may change or end at any time.

6. Advertising, Sponsored Offers & Marketing

The Services are funded by advertising. Participating brands, retailers, and other companies — including businesses outside the cannabis industry — pay WeedBates to fund cash-back offers, to place sponsored or featured offers, and to market to WeedBates users. WeedBates earns a fee for facilitating this marketing.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • consistent with our Privacy Policy and your consents, we may use and share your information with and on behalf of advertisers so they can present, target, deliver, and measure offers and marketing to you, including from companies that are not cannabis companies;
  • advertisers may market to you through the Services and, where you have consented, by email, SMS, and push notification;
  • WeedBates is not responsible for advertisers or their products, services, offers, claims, or conduct, and does not endorse or guarantee them. Any dealings between you and an advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser; and
  • WeedBates' role is limited to facilitating and measuring marketing in exchange for a fee, and WeedBates is not a party to any transaction between you and an advertiser or merchant.

7. Location Tracking

With your consent, WeedBates accesses your device's precise location — including in the background where your device permits — to show nearby stores and offers, verify receipts by proximity, and generate store-visit analytics that we may share with advertisers in aggregated or de-identified form. You may withdraw location consent at any time in your settings or device permissions; some features may then be limited. See the Privacy Policy for details.

8. Communications & Consent

By creating an account you agree to receive transactional messages about your account. With your separate opt-in, you also agree to receive promotional email, SMS, and push messages from WeedBates and from participating advertisers. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time (for SMS, reply STOP); transactional messages may still be sent.

9. Referral Program

Any referral program is additionally governed by the Referral Program Terms. Self-referrals, fraud, and abuse are prohibited, and we may modify or end the program at any time.

10. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • submit fraudulent, altered, duplicate, or ineligible receipts, or misrepresent purchases;
  • create multiple or fake accounts, or circumvent verification, limits, or restrictions;
  • violate any law or the rights of others, or use the Services where cannabis is unlawful;
  • interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services;
  • scrape, harvest, reverse engineer, or extract data or source code without our permission.

11. Intellectual Property

The Services and all associated content, trademarks, and software are owned by WeedBates or its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for their intended purpose. You may not use our intellectual property without prior written permission.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, and we make no warranty regarding any advertiser, merchant, product, offer, or third party. You are responsible for compliance with cannabis and other laws in your jurisdiction.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEEDBATES AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY INTERACTION WITH AN ADVERTISER, MERCHANT, OR THIRD PARTY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WeedBates and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any law or the rights of any third party; (c) your receipts, submissions, or content; and (d) your dealings or disputes with any advertiser, merchant, or other third party, including any marketing you receive through or as a result of the Services.

15. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver

Please read carefully — this affects your legal rights. Except where prohibited by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules, seated in Michigan.

Class-action waiver: you and WeedBates agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. You may opt out of arbitration by written notice to legal@weedbates.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

16. Governing Law & Forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. To the extent any matter is not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Michigan.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted with a new "Last Updated" date, and, for material changes, we will provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

18. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, including for violation of these Terms or suspected fraud or illegal activity. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 — will survive.

19. Miscellaneous

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. We may assign these Terms; you may not assign them without our consent. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Referral Program Terms, are the entire agreement between you and WeedBates regarding the Services.
