Terms of Service

Last updated: [DATE TO CONFIRM AT LAUNCH] · Effective on publication

This document was prepared to support launch of the Kostiak Green platform. It is not a substitute for legal advice from a licensed attorney. Sections marked [BRACKETED] require a decision from the company before this document is considered final.

1. Who we are and what this agreement covers

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Kostiak Green platform, including the website, dashboard, alerts, reports and any related services (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Kostiak Systems LLC ("Kostiak Green", "Company", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, starting a trial, or otherwise using the Platform, you ("Customer", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, in which case "you" refers to that entity.

2. What Kostiak Green is — and what it is not

Kostiak Green is a B2B data analytics service for the licensed cannabis retail industry. We aggregate publicly available cannabis market data and apply our own proprietary data engine and analytical methodology to produce derived intelligence products, including but not limited to the Kostiak Pricing Health score, apples-to-apples price-per-gram and price-per-milligram-of-THC normalization, margin-leak detection, genetic-family pricing analysis, and competitor and market benchmarking (collectively, the "Derived Metrics").

Kostiak Green is not a cannabis retailer, distributor, cultivator, processor, or any other plant-touching business, and does not hold or require a cannabis license to operate. We do not sell, transfer, or facilitate the sale of cannabis or cannabis products of any kind. The Platform provides software and data analytics services only.

3. Eligibility and accounts

3.1 Age and authority. You must be at least 21 years of age and have the legal authority to enter into this agreement to use the Platform.

3.2 Intended customers. The Platform is intended for licensed cannabis operators, brands, and professionals serving the licensed cannabis industry. We may request reasonable verification of your business before or during your subscription.

3.3 Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@kostiak.pro of any suspected unauthorized use.

3.4 One account per business. Each subscription is intended for use by a single business entity at the seat/team-member allowance of its plan (see Section 5). Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits or pricing is a violation of these Terms.

4. Free trial

4.1 Trial length. New accounts are eligible for a 14-day free trial of the Platform. No credit card or other payment method is required to start a trial.

4.2 What happens at the end of the trial. If you have not added a valid payment method by the end of the 14-day trial period, your trial ends automatically, your account is not charged, and access to paid features is suspended. No action is required on your part to avoid being charged — the trial does not auto-convert to a paid plan unless you affirmatively add a payment method and select a plan. If you add a payment method and select a plan during or at the end of the trial, your subscription begins and billing starts in accordance with Section 5.

4.3 One trial per business. We reserve the right to limit free trials to one per business entity, email domain, or payment method to prevent abuse.

5. Subscription plans and billing

5.1 Plans. Kostiak Green currently offers three paid subscription tiers: Local ($129/month), Professional ($299/month, up to 5 team members), and Corporate ($799/month). Current plan features, limits, and team-member allowances are described on our pricing page and may be updated from time to time as described in Section 5.5.

5.2 Payment processing.All subscription payments are processed by Paddle.com, acting as our payment processor and merchant of record for billing purposes. By subscribing, you also agree to Paddle's applicable buyer terms. We do not store your full payment card details — they are handled directly by Paddle.

5.3 Billing cycle. Paid subscriptions bill in advance on a monthly (or, where offered, annual) basis, starting on the date you select a plan and add a valid payment method.

5.4 Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in accordance with Section 6.

5.5 Price and plan changes.We may change our prices or plan features from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any price increase that affects your current subscription before it takes effect. Continued use of the Platform after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or by emailing hello@kostiak.pro. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until that date. We do not charge any cancellation fee.
