Compliance Tools & Buyer Due-Diligence Addendum
Addendum effective: 17 May 2026. This addendum is incorporated into and made a part of these Terms.
1. Compliance Tools Provided
Chow420 publishes a set of free, informational compliance tools (collectively, the “Compliance Tools”) on its websites and applications, including, without limitation: (a) the home-page End-to-End Hemp Compliance section and 50-state interactive calculator; (b) the per-product Compliance Calculator displayed on each product detail page; (c) the 21+ age gate notice; (d) the 2018 Farm Bill federal-compliance indicator; (e) per-state hemp law pages located at /hempstatelaws; and (f) any related badges, status pills, or verdicts (“Allowed,” “Restricted,” “Verify locally,” or similar). The Compliance Tools are powered in part by ChowIndex, an independent transparency index for lab-tested hemp products.
2. Informational Only — Not Legal Advice
The Compliance Tools are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, medical, tax, regulatory, or professional advice of any kind. Hemp and cannabinoid law in the United States changes frequently and varies by federal, state, county, and municipal jurisdiction. Chow420 makes a reasonable effort to keep the underlying data current but does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the Compliance Tools are accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose.
3. Buyer’s Affirmative Duty of Due Diligence
You — the buyer — bear sole and exclusive responsibility for determining whether any product you purchase through Chow420 is legal for you to buy, possess, ship, and use in your delivery jurisdiction. Before placing an order, you must:
- Select your accurate delivery state in the on-page compliance calculator;
- Review the calculator’s verdict, reasons, and any cannabinoid-specific (Delta-8, Delta-10, THCa, HHC, smokable-flower, lab-testing, retailer-license, minimum-age) flags;
- Cross-reference the linked state hemp law page for the current statute, threshold, and effective date;
- Independently confirm the rule with your state Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, Attorney General’s office, or qualified legal counsel; and
- Confirm you are at least 21 years of age and lawfully permitted to receive the product at your shipping address.
By placing any order, you represent and warrant that you have completed each of the foregoing steps and that the order is, to the best of your knowledge after such due diligence, lawful in your jurisdiction.
4. “Restricted” Verdicts — No Waiver
If a Compliance Tool returns a “Restricted,” “Fail,” or “Verify locally” verdict for your selected delivery state, you proceed at your own risk. Chow420’s decision to accept or process the resulting order does not constitute legal approval, an opinion of counsel, a waiver of state law, or a representation that the product is lawful for you. You assume all risk of seizure, fines, forfeiture, civil penalty, criminal exposure, and any other consequence arising from the shipment, possession, or use of any such product.
5. Data Sources & ChowIndex
The Compliance Tools rely on (i) state statutes, regulations, and guidance published by state agencies; (ii) Certificate-of-Analysis (COA) data submitted by third-party manufacturers and lab partners; and (iii) data feeds provided by ChowIndex. Chow420 does not independently audit, certify, or warrant any of this third-party data. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chow420 disclaims all liability for inaccuracies, omissions, errors, delays, stale data, or misclassifications in the Compliance Tools.
6. Tool Outputs Are Not Promises of Service
An “Allowed” or “Pass” verdict is a snapshot in time and is not a guarantee that (a) the product will continue to be lawful in your state through delivery, (b) the carrier will deliver to your address, (c) the order will not be intercepted, returned, or seized by any state, federal, or local authority, or (d) you will not face questioning at delivery. Laws may change between the time the Compliance Tool was last reviewed (as displayed on each tool) and the time your order ships or arrives.
7. Universal 21+ Age Restriction
All Chow420 accounts and all checkouts are gated to adults 21 years of age or older, regardless of any lower minimum age permitted by your state. You must present a valid government-issued photo ID at delivery for age-restricted items. Misrepresentation of age is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate account termination without refund.
8. Expanded Indemnification
In addition to any other indemnity in these Terms, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chow420, ChowIndex, their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, vendors, and lab partners from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your failure to perform the due-diligence steps in Section 3; (b) your decision to place an order in the face of a “Restricted,” “Fail,” or “Verify locally” verdict; (c) any change in applicable law between order placement and delivery; (d) any inaccuracy or omission in third-party data, including but not limited to COAs and ChowIndex feeds; (e) any seizure, fine, forfeiture, or enforcement action against you or your shipment; and (f) any misrepresentation by you of your age, identity, address, or delivery jurisdiction.
9. Limitation of Liability — Compliance Tools
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chow420’s and ChowIndex’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Compliance Tools is limited to the amount you paid for the specific product the verdict concerned, or US$50, whichever is less. In no event shall Chow420 or ChowIndex be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages of any kind — including lost profits, lost data, criminal-defense costs, regulatory penalties, business interruption, or reputational harm — arising from your use of, reliance on, or inability to use the Compliance Tools, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
10. AS-IS / AS-AVAILABLE
The Compliance Tools are provided “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, currency, non-infringement, or that the tools will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
11. Order of Precedence
In the event of any conflict between this Compliance Tools Addendum and the body of the Terms above, this Addendum controls with respect to the Compliance Tools and the buyer-due-diligence duties described herein.
