INTRODUCTION TO THE WOMEN GROW DIRECTORY
Women Grow was created to connect, educate, inspire and empower the next generation of cannabis industry leaders by creating programs, community and events, such as this Directory for aspiring and current cannapreneurs and offers such services under the WOMEN GROW marks.

Women Grow is committed to creating the most comprehensive directory of female-forward businesses in the cannabis industry, including merchants, manufacturers and service providers. Access is free to users (“Users”) and all listings are searchable by location and business type.

No Guarantees or Endorsements. Women Grow makes no guarantees or representations regarding the quality, skills or representations of the Participants listed in the Directory. Women Grow does not endorse or recommend any particular Participant or guarantee or warrant the outcome or quality of the goods offered or services performed. Participants listed in our Directory are not employees or agents of Women Grow, nor is Women Grow an agent of the service professionals.
Users Contract Directly With Participants. There is no contracting via the Directory. To contract with a merchant, manufacturer or service provider, a User must contact and work directly with and contract with the Participant. Rights under contracts Participants enter into with Users are governed by the terms of such contracts under applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws.

Release from Damages or Claims. Should a Participant have a dispute with any User, Participant must address such dispute with the User directly.

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE WOMEN GROW (AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS (INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES) OF EVERY KIND OR NATURE, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, AND DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES AND YOUR DEALINGS WITH USERS.
