- USE OF THE SITE.
There are portions of the Site that we make available to users in the general public without registering (“General Users”) and General Users may visit and browse those portions of the Site without charge or obligation. In order to access and use certain other services, features or functions of the Site, we require users to register. These users are classified as either “Grown Members,” “Born Members,” “Mentors,” “Investors,” or “Partners”. Grown Members, Born Members, Mentors, Investors, and Partners are collectively “Service Members”. Service Members will be required to execute separate agreements with Grown Global. For instance, Grown Members and Born Members are required to sign our Fast Track agreement. All respective agreements are required to be filled out and executed when Service Members register through the Site.
As part of the registration process, Service Members will need to select and provide us with a unique user name and choose a password (or we may assign an initial password which we will give you the option to change) which must form a unique combination (a “User ID”), and we also request that Service Members provide their e-mail address. We may request that Service Members provide other personally identifiable information. We may also, from time to time and at any time, provide Service Members with additional codes or passwords necessary to access and use certain other services, features or functions of the Site. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes the non-public, personally identifiable information we collect, use, disclose, manage and store. A Service Member’s User ID is personal to such Service Member and a Service Member may not allow any others to use its User ID under any circumstances. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation or disclosure of all or any portion of a Service Member’s User ID, should a Service Member authorize anyone else to use its User ID. Service Members agree to immediately notify us if they become aware of or believe there is or may have been any unauthorized use of (or activity using) a Service Member’s User ID or any other need to deactivate its User ID due to security concerns.

With respect to Products sold by Grown Global, we cannot confirm the price of such Product until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process.

We reserve the right at any time, without prior notice, to limit or reduce the quantity you ordered of any Product and we will notify you if we do so.

8. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION & PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
We try to assure the accuracy of all information displayed on the Site, but it is possible that the information contains errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. In particular, with respect to product information, we have tried to accurately describe such information. Despite our best efforts, some of such information may contain errors. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to any such errors.
With respect to Products offered on the Site, we have tried to accurately display colors, but depending on the specifications and settings of your computer and its monitor, the colors you see might not accurately depict the actual colors of the Product. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. In addition, due to typical and very common manufacturing inconsistencies, Product weights and measurements can vary slightly from the specific information set forth on the Site. Minor Product variations in color, weights and measurements will not be considered as resulting in Products being deemed defective.
Despite our best efforts, a small number of the Products on the Site may be mispriced. If a Product sold on the Site is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for that Product, whether or not the order has been confirmed and even if your credit or debit card account has been charged (in which event we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge). Please note that this policy applies only to Products sold and shipped by Grown Global. Your purchases from third-party sellers are charged at the time you place your order, and third-party sellers may follow different policies in the event of a mispriced item.

Malware — short for MALicious softWARE — is a term used to broadly classify a form of software which is installed in a computer system with malicious intentions, usually without the owner’s knowledge or permission. Malware includes computer viruses, key loggers, malicious active content, rogue programs and dialers, among others.

If you do discover any Malware on your system, we suggest you speak with a qualified computer technician.
