Legal
Terms of service.
These terms govern your use of CanJar: the app at canjar.app, this site, and any paid plan. By using CanJar, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use CanJar.
Who we are
CanJar is an independent app based in West Virginia, USA ("CanJar", "we", "us"). We can be reached by email only: CJlegal@xski.me for legal, privacy and policy matters, and CJsupport@xski.me for general support. Our privacy policy explains how we handle data and forms part of these terms.
Eligibility
CanJar is for adults. You may use it only if:
- you are at least 21 years old, or at least 18 years old if you are a registered medical cannabis patient and your state's law permits a patient of your age; and
- you can legally use cannabis where you live.
CanJar is not for anyone under 18. Do not use CanJar where cannabis use is not legal for you.
You are responsible for following the laws that apply to you. CanJar is designed around U.S. state, District of Columbia and territory law.
What CanJar is, and is not
CanJar is a private journal and reference for tracking your own cannabis use and learning about cannabis and the law.
- Not a store. CanJar does not sell cannabis or cannabis products. It does not take or route orders, arrange delivery or pickup, show dispensary menus or inventory, or earn referral or affiliate fees from sellers. Paid plans pay only for app features.
- Not medical advice. Nothing in CanJar is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Talk to a qualified clinician about your health, medications, pregnancy or dosing.
- Not legal advice. Law summaries are general information, reviewed as of the date shown, and may be incomplete or out of date. Rules change and vary by locality. Check official sources, and ask a lawyer about your situation.
Never drive or operate machinery while impaired.
Ask CanJar and AI accuracy
Ask CanJar is an optional AI assistant powered by a third-party model provider (OpenAI). It is off until you turn it on.
- AI can be wrong. Answers are generated automatically. They may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, even when sources are shown. Check anything important against the cited sources or an official source before relying on it.
- Answers are not medical, legal or professional advice. Ask CanJar may decline requests, including requests to arrange purchases or that could cause harm.
- Web search (Pro, off by default) uses third-party search results, which we do not control or endorse.
- Use is subject to the limits of your plan: a weekly usage budget for Plus and Pro, or prepaid credits for Lifetime. Budgets and limits may change.
- You must also follow OpenAI's usage policies when using Ask CanJar.
Your account and your data
You can use CanJar without an account. Signing in (with Google) is required for sync and paid plans. Keep your devices, sign-in and recovery key secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
Your notebook is stored on your device. If you sync it, it is end-to-end encrypted and we cannot read or recover it. If you lose your devices and your recovery key, your synced notebook cannot be restored. Keep exports or backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Plans and billing
CanJar Free costs nothing. Paid plans add features and are billed in U.S. dollars through Stripe:
- Plus: $4.20 per month or $40 per year.
- Pro: $10 per month or $100 per year.
- Pro Lifetime: $250, paid once.
- Ask CanJar credit packs (Lifetime holders only): 30 credits for $3, 75 for $5, or 250 for $10, paid once.
Prices shown at checkout control. Prices do not include taxes; applicable taxes are added where required by law. The features in each plan are listed on the plans page and in the app, and we may improve or change them over time.
Automatic renewal. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and your payment method is charged the then-current price until you cancel. If we change the price of your plan, we will email you at least 30 days before the new price takes effect, and it will apply from your next renewal after that notice. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe may retry it, and paid features may stop if payment is not resolved.
Lifetime and credits
Pro Lifetime is a one-time payment for the Pro features on your account. It does not renew and does not expire. "Lifetime" means for as long as CanJar operates. It is personal to your CanJar account and cannot be transferred. If CanJar is discontinued, we will give reasonable advance notice, but no refund is owed for Lifetime because the service ends.
Lifetime uses Ask CanJar credits instead of a weekly budget, and includes a one-time welcome balance of 250 credits. One credit covers one message, a question or a follow-up. Credits do not expire, but they are removed if Lifetime is refunded (see below). If the AI provider fails before an answer starts, the credit for that message is returned automatically.
Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel a subscription at any time from Settings → Membership → Manage billing, which opens the Stripe Customer Portal. You keep access to your plan until the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again.
Refunds. Except where required by law:
- Subscriptions (monthly and annual): there are no refunds or credits for partial billing periods. Cancel any time and keep access until the end of the paid period.
- Pro Lifetime: refundable on request within 14 days of purchase. A refund removes Lifetime access and all unused Ask CanJar credits on your account, including the welcome balance and credits from any packs you bought. The same applies if a Lifetime payment is reversed through a dispute or chargeback.
- Ask CanJar credit packs: credits are non-refundable once used. A pack with no credits used is refundable on request within 14 days of purchase.
To request a refund, email CJlegal@xski.me from your account email.
When paid features end, your notebook stays on your device. Encrypted photos stored on the server are deleted about 7 days after photos stop being included in your plan.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use CanJar to sell, buy, advertise or arrange the transfer of cannabis or any other controlled substance, or to violate any law;
- let anyone under the minimum age use CanJar through your account;
- try to access other users' data or accounts, probe or bypass security, rate limits, usage budgets or entitlements, or disrupt the service;
- scrape, copy, resell or redistribute CanJar's content or the Ask CanJar service, or use them to build a competing product;
- use Ask CanJar to generate harmful, illegal or abusive content, or in violation of OpenAI's usage policies;
- reverse engineer the service except where the law allows it.
Content and ownership
Your content is yours. You own your notebook, notes and photos. Because synced data is encrypted on your device, we only store and transmit it for you. We need no other rights in it.
Our content. The app, its design and its reference content (Learn guides, law summaries and the like) belong to CanJar or its licensors. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use them through CanJar. News headlines link to their publishers and belong to them.
Feedback. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.
Suspension and termination
You can stop using CanJar at any time, and ask us to delete your account by emailing CJlegal@xski.me. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect users or the service. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you first. Your notebook stays on your device either way. If we end your account without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription period. If we end it because you broke these terms, no refund is owed. If we discontinue CanJar, we will give reasonable advance notice so you can export your data; Lifetime is covered in Lifetime and credits.
Disclaimers
CanJar is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that CanJar will be uninterrupted or error-free. We also do not promise that law, health, news or AI content is accurate, complete or current. You use cannabis and rely on CanJar's information at your own risk.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, CanJar and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of CanJar. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to CanJar is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these limits, so they may not apply to you.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless CanJar and its operator from claims, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your misuse of CanJar or your breach of these terms or the law.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in West Virginia, unless the law where you live requires otherwise. There is no arbitration agreement and no class-action waiver.
Before filing a claim, email CJlegal@xski.me describing the issue and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally.
Changes
We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new effective date. For material changes, we will also give notice in the app or by email before they take effect. If you keep using CanJar after changes take effect, you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree, stop using CanJar and cancel any subscription.
If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and CanJar about the service.
