Equio® Frequently Asked Questions

EQUIO

1. What is Equio?

   Equio is a proprietary data and analytics online platform created by New Frontier Data, the premier data collection and industry-reporting firm in the cannabis industry. Equio comes from the Latin word “equorum” for horse’s and “ore” for mouth, loosely translating to “Straight from the horse’s mouth.”

2. Why do I need Equio?

   Until recently, the multibillion dollar cannabis industry has been guided by little to no business intelligence, rooted in a lack of vetted and comprehensive data. New Frontier Data’s proprietary approach to data, meta-tagging, and analysis make it possible for investors, policy makers, researchers, and operators to make informed decisions in the cannabis industry, while minimizing risk – all based on authoritative and trusted intelligence.

3. Am I permitted to download the Company and Country profiles?

   They can be downloaded for individual use, but cannot be re-purposed.

4. Where can I learn how to use all the features in Equio?

   We are here to assist you! We offer multiple ways to learn how to use Equio, including:

   • Sign up for one of our monthly group demos here.
   • Click on the Tool Tip icon in the top right corner of each widget to learn more about that feature.
   • Chat with our customer support team using the Zendesk live chat function.
5. I have forgotten my password. What can I do?

   Click here and follow the instructions to be sent an email with a link to reset your password.

6. What are the Investing, Operating, and Researching pages for?

   Our experience has taught us that our users are usually interested in at least one of the following three activities – investing in the cannabis industry, researching some aspect of the industry, or operating in the industry. Therefore, we created collections of data, insight, and resources to help you quickly find what you need based on your interest.

7. I did not receive my login and password. What do I do?
   • First, check your spam or junk folder in your email program as the Welcome to Equio email may have gotten marked as spam.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

1. How does the 30-day trial work?

   After you purchase an Essential subscription (your card is not charged at this point), you will get instant full access to all Equio Essential features free for 30 days. At the end of the thirty days, the card used during the purchase process will be automatically charged for an Equio Essential subscription at the billing rate you specified (monthly or annually). We will email you before your trial expires. If you choose to cancel your subscription prior to the end of the trial period, you will lose access to Equio immediately. If you purchased reports during the trial period, you will continue to have limited access to Equio to view your reports.

   If you received your free 30-day full-access trial through the purchase of a report, you may convert to a paid subscription at any time. Your trial account will become your permanent account (everything remains intact). If you do not convert to a paid subscription by the end of the trial period, you will continue to have limited access to Equio to view your reports after the thirty-day period.

2. Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

   Yes, you may cancel at any time.

3. What happens if I purchase reports during the trial period and choose to cancel? Will I still be able to access them?

   Yes. If you purchased reports during the trial period and choose to cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to the My Reports section of Equio to see your reports. However, you will no longer have access to other Equio features.

   We offer monthly or annual billing. You can pay by credit card or by Paypal for the Essential, Premium, and Premium Plus subscriptions. If you would like an Enterprise subscription, contact Caroline Kowalski at ckowalski@newfrontierdata.com for more information.
