1) Who we are

These Terms of Service/Use ("Terms") apply to Mom Index (the "Platform," "we," "us," "our"), including:

• momindex.ca and canadianmom.xyz (the "Sites"), and
• our related community channels we operate or moderate (including reddit.com/r/mompics) (collectively, "Community Spaces").

Important: Reddit is a third-party platform. Use of Reddit is also governed by Reddit's own terms and rules. If there is a conflict between Reddit's terms and these Terms, Reddit's terms control for your use of Reddit.

2) Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Platform, you confirm that you:

• have read and agree to these Terms, and
• will follow all applicable laws and regulations.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

3) Age restrictions (mandatory)

The Platform contains content related to cannabis deals, listings, and reviews. You must meet the minimum age below to access or use the Platform.

• Canada (Platform rule): You must be 19+ to browse or use the Platform (even if your province allows 18+).
• Québec: You must be 21+ (Québec restricts cannabis possession/access under 21).
• United States: You must be 21+ (and you are responsible for complying with your state/local laws). Although we are a Canadian-only community and do not advertise to the United States.

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement. We may use age gates and may suspend/ban users we reasonably believe are underage.

4) What we do (and what we do NOT do)

We are not a cannabis seller. The Platform is a listing, browsing, deals, and review community.

• We do not produce, distribute, ship, sell, or fulfill cannabis or cannabis accessories.
• We do not process payments for cannabis.
• We do not provide customer service for any purchase you make from a third party.
• Any transaction is strictly between you and the third-party retailer/service.

5) Third-party listings, links, and services

The Platform may display or link to third-party websites, vendors, or services ("Third Parties"), including listings and deal information.

• Third-Party content is provided for convenience and informational/community discussion purposes only.
• We do not control Third Parties and are not responsible for their products, pricing, availability, legality, shipping, returns, or customer support.
• Your dealings with any Third Party are at your own risk.

6) Cannabis promotion compliance (Canada)

Canada's Cannabis Act generally prohibits "promotion" of cannabis, cannabis accessories, and services related to cannabis, except in limited circumstances, and includes restrictions such as prohibitions on content that could appeal to young persons, testimonials/endorsements, depiction of persons/characters/animals, lifestyle association (glamour, recreation, excitement, vitality, risk/daring), and false/misleading representations.

Because of these rules, you agree that you will not post, upload, or share content on the Platform that would cause us (or you) to breach applicable promotion restrictions. Without limiting the above, you agree you will not post content that:

• is appealing to minors/young persons,
• uses testimonials/endorsements or celebrity-style promotion,
• depicts real or fictional people/characters/animals to promote cannabis,
• promotes a "lifestyle" association (glamour, excitement, recreation, risk/daring), or
• is false, misleading, deceptive, or makes unsupported claims about effects/health risks.

No inducements: You must not post content that promotes prohibited giveaways/bonuses/inducements in a way that violates applicable law.

Adult access: You must not share Platform content with minors or use the Platform in a way intended to reach minors. The Cannabis Act includes specific concepts around restricting youth access to promotions.

7) Listings and advertisers (extra requirements)

If you submit a listing, deal, or advertisement (including via a paid placement, sponsorship, affiliate arrangement, or any "featured" placement):

• You represent that you (and/or the business you represent) are properly authorized/licensed to conduct the activities you advertise, including under federal and applicable provincial/territorial law.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring your content complies with all cannabis promotion restrictions and any platform policies, including age-gating requirements.
• You agree we may request verification (at our discretion) and may remove or refuse content for any reason.

8) Community reviews and "deal" posts (user-generated content)

Users may post reviews, commentary, opinions, and deal observations ("User Content"). You understand:
