These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Dashible, Inc. (“Dashible,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the operator of The Plug, including the website at nycplug.net and any related applications and services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & age requirement

The Service is intended only for adults who are 21 years of age or older. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 and that your use complies with all laws applicable to you. We may require you to confirm your age and may deny access to anyone who cannot or does not.

2. What the Service is — and is not

The Plug is an informational directory of licensed cannabis dispensaries. We aggregate publicly available licensing information and other data and let users browse, review, and contribute information about dispensaries. We are an independent service and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government agency, dispensary, or brand listed on the Service.

The Service does not sell, broker, deliver, or facilitate the sale of cannabis or any product, and no transaction for cannabis occurs through the Service. Any purchase you make occurs solely between you and a licensed dispensary, subject to that dispensary’s terms and applicable law.

3. No professional advice

Content on the Service is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. Cannabis laws and regulations change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. Always verify current rules with official sources and consult a qualified professional before acting. We make no representation that any listing, hours, license status, or other information is accurate, complete, or current.

4. Cannabis & legal compliance

Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and state and local laws differ. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all laws that apply to you. Nothing on the Service should be construed as encouragement to violate any law.

5. Accounts

Some features require an account. You may sign in using a one-time email link (“magic link”) or other methods we offer. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your account secure, and to be responsible for activity under your account. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

6. User content

The Service lets you submit reviews, ratings, photos, comments, and other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting it, you grant Dashible a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting), display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content to operate, promote, and improve the Service.

You represent and warrant that, for any User Content you submit:

• you own it or have all rights necessary to grant the license above;
• it is accurate and reflects your genuine experience or opinion;
• it does not infringe any third party’s rights or violate any law; and
• it is not unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, deceptive, spam, or otherwise objectionable.

We may, but are not obligated to, review, screen, moderate, edit, refuse, or remove User Content at our discretion, including using automated tools. Content awaiting review may be displayed in an obscured form or withheld. We are not responsible for User Content, which reflects the views of the person who submitted it, not Dashible.

7. Dispensary listings & profile claiming

Listings are compiled from official licensing directories and other sources and may contain errors or be out of date. A dispensary owner or authorized representative may claim a listing by verifying control of an email address on the business’s website domain and subject to our approval. If you claim a listing, you represent that you are authorized to act for that business and that the information you provide is accurate. We may revoke a claim at any time. To request a correction or removal, contact us at [email protected].

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• scrape, harvest, or bulk-download data except as expressly permitted;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• post false, misleading, or manipulated reviews, or solicit or pay for the same;
• upload malware or attempt to circumvent age, security, or moderation controls.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and compilation of content (excluding User Content and third-party materials), is owned by Dashible or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. “The Plug,” “Dashible,” and related logos are our trademarks; you may not use them without permission.

10. Third-party services & links

The Service uses and links to third-party services and websites (for example, mapping and directions providers and official government resources). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and policies.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING LISTINGS, HOURS, OR LICENSE STATUS) IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DASHIBLE AND ITS 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 OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dashible and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including a violation of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Queens County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Dashible regarding the Service.
