8.2 Third-Party Materials. The Site or Services might display, include, or make available third-party content (including data, information, articles applications or other products, services and/or materials) or contain links to third party websites, services, and advertisements for third parties, including pricing, product names, and product descriptions (defined below) (collectively, “Third-Party Materials”).

8.3 Deals. The Site or Services might display, include, or make available coupons, promotional codes, giveaways, samples, and other offers from listed users (collectively, “Deals”). Deals constitute “Third Party Materials” under this Agreement. Strainly displays these Deals on the Site and Services as a form of advertisement for the listing user (the “Offeror”) only. All Deals are offered directly by the applicable Offeror, and may be subject to additional terms, conditions, or restrictions of the Offeror or under applicable law, whether or not such additional terms, conditions, or restrictions are expressly included on the Site or Services. The Offeror, and not Strainly, is solely responsible for: (a) redemption of the Deal; (b) compliance of all aspects of the Deal with applicable law (including without limit, the advertisement, redemption, and terms, conditions and restrictions related thereto); (c) all goods and services it provides to you in connection with the Deal; and (d) all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of a Deal or not.
8.4 Bitcoin payments. Strainly allows its users to receive Bitcoin payments through a self-generated non-custodial bitcoin wallet that automatically creates unique invoices for each transactions on the platform.
Strainly intends for users to be able to use bitcoin payments on a decentralized, anonymous basis. You acknowledge and agree that Strainly is not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in connection with any Bitcoin transaction initiated via the Services, including but not limited to use of any incorrect address or the loss of your private key.
Bitcoin transactions made between Strainly users are peer-to-peer without any intermediation nor escrow functionality by Strainly. Strainly may acquire a service fee when you initiate a transaction. This service fee is paid to Strainly via a distinct transaction. All transactions confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain are irrevocable.
How Your Wallet Works: Your Bitcoin is held in your Strainly non-custodial wallet, recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. When you create a Bitcoin wallet in your user settings, a cryptographic private and public key pair that you use to send and receive Bitcoin via the Bitcoin Blockchain network is created. Upon creating your Bitcoin wallet, you will be shown twelve words, numbered from 1 to 12. This is the seedphrase. This seedphrase will be needed to spend your bitcoin from your non-custodial wallet. Should you ever need to restore your wallet, the seedphrase will also be required. These twelve words are displayed once ONLY. You will be prompted to write them down and acknowledge that you did. Failing to keep your seedphrase securely stored will prevent access to your bitcoin as well as any wallet recovery in the future.
Your Public Key: The public key generated by the software serves as your Bitcoin wallet address. We do not keep a copy of your public key.
Your Private Key: The private key uniquely matches the wallet address and must be used in connection with the wallet address to authorize the transfer of bitcoin from or to that wallet address. Importantly, your private key provides access to and security for your Bitcoin. Strainly has no access to your private key and may not, under any circumstance, initiate a transaction using your private key on your behalf. If you lose your private key, Strainly cannot recover it for you. Only your seedphrase allows you to restore your wallet in another app.
In no event shall Strainly be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on Strainly, even if Strainly authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.
8.5 Other Users. Each user of the Site or Services is solely responsible for any and all of its User Content and Third-Party Materials. Because we do not control User Content and/or Third-Party Materials, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content and/or Third-Party Materials, we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content and/or Third-Party Materials, and we assume no responsibility for any User Content and/or Third-Party Materials. Your interactions with other Site or Service users (including Dispensaries) are solely between you and such user. You agree that Strainly will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any Site or Service user, we are under no obligation to become involved.
8.6 Release. You hereby release and forever discharge Strainly (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish your rights with respect to, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Site or Service users, Third-Party Interactions, or Third-Party Materials.

12. COPYRIGHT POLICY. Strainly respects the intellectual property of others and asks that users of our Site and Services do the same. In connection with our Site and Services, we have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Site and Services who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that one of our users is, through the use of our Site and Services, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification must be provided to [email protected] :
12.1 Your physical or electronic signature;
12.2 Identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
12.3 Identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;

Please note that, any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.
13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE. Except for disputes brought in small claims court, all disputes between you and Strainly arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Site or Services shall be exclusively settled through binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current rules of La Division des petites créances de la Cour du Québec for commercial arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court and review by a court is limited. YOU AND STRAINLY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the class-action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable, however, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration. This arbitration agreement is subject to the Québec Laws. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of the Province of Québec, Canada. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Strainly makes any future change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to Strainly. If the arbitration in this Section provision is found unenforceable or to not apply for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Québec, Canada. You hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for this purpose. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Québec without regard to conflict of law provisions.
13.1 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. We are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at [email protected]. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to us should be sent to the address identified in Section 14.6 below.
13.2 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
13.3 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided in Section below. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
14. GENERAL
14.1 No Support or Maintenance. You acknowledge and agree that Strainly will have no obligation to provide you with any support or maintenance in connection with the Site or Services.
14.2 Changes to Terms of Use. We may amend these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we do so, we will post the modified Terms on the Service. The modifications will be effective immediately. You agree to review these Terms periodically so that you are aware of any modifications.

14.5 Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site and Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Strainly of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
