Terms of Use 

 

Effective date: December 1, 2023 

Welcome to Lettuce. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, services and applications (the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at: 

Email: support@lettuce.com

Address: 548 Market St., Suite 84232, San Francisco, CA 94104

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and LETTUCE FINANCIAL LABS INC. (“Lettuce,” “we”, “us” and “our”). Your use of the Services in any way means that you (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent) agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services.  

These Terms include the provisions in this document as well as those in our Privacy Policy. Your use of or participation in certain Services may also be subject to additional policies, rules and/or conditions (“Additional Terms”), which are incorporated herein by reference, and you understand and agree that by using or participating in any such Services, you agree to also comply with these Additional Terms.  

US Clients Only. This website and the Services are intended to be made available to individuals in the United States, and the information on the website is only for such persons.  Nothing on this website shall be considered a solicitation to sell the Services to any person in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction. You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with us, or (b) you are a person barred from using the Services under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services. 

Please read these Terms carefully, as they cover important information about Services provided to you. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER. 

Will these Terms ever change? 

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with our Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will place a notice on our site located at Lettuce.co,  send you an email, or notify you by some other means.  

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.  

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.  

What about my privacy? 

Lettuce takes the privacy of its users very seriously. Information about how Lettuce works to protect your privacy can be found in our Privacy Policy. 

What are the basics of using Lettuce? 

Lettuce provides a fully integrated solution that works across tax payments, accounting, banking, and incorporation. In the course of registering for and using the Services, you may be required to provide us with certain information, including your name, contact information, social security number, bank account information, business information, username and password (“Lettuce Credentials”). You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself, and shall not use or provide information you do not have a right to use. If your contact information or other information relating to your account changes, you must promptly notify us and keep such information current. You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party. You will comply with all laws that apply to you, your use of the Services, and your actions and omissions that relate to the Services.  If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We cannot and will not be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law. 

You are solely responsible for any activity using your Lettuce Credentials, whether or not you authorized that activity. You will not share your Lettuce Credentials with anyone, and you must protect the security of your Lettuce Credentials, account, and any other access tools or credentials. You should immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Lettuce Credentials or if your email or password has been hacked or stolen. If you discover that someone is using your Lettuce Credentials without your consent, or you discover any other breach of security, you agree to notify us immediately.

What about messaging and electronic communications? 

The communications between you and Lettuce use electronic means, whether you use the website or send us emails, or whether Lettuce posts notices on the website or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, by agreeing to these Terms and using the Services, you (a) consent to conducting business electronically; (b) consent to receiving communications from Lettuce in an electronic form; and (c) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Lettuce provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in a hardcopy writing. 

Further, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right, power and authority to agree to the Terms and that the Services may enable you to send and receive valid e-signatures in the United States under the U.S. Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN Act”) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) as adopted by individual states. You also agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate your electronic signature and that the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your electronic signature or any resulting contract signed using Lettuce’s electronic signature service and technology.The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.  

Are there restrictions in how I can use the Services?

You shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542 or any similar law of any jurisdiction, which says in substance: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” 

Will Lettuce ever change the Services?

What if I want to stop using the Services?  

You’re free to do that at any time through your Lettuce account or by contacting us at support@Lettuce.co. Please refer to your account agreement(s) to understand how certain Services and obligations may continue during and after your subscription to the Services. Please also refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.  

Lettuce is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Lettuce has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms. 

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.  

What else do I need to know?

The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms are found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Lettuce agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Lettuce, and that these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Lettuce, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Lettuce in any respect whatsoever.
