VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV:N) (FRA:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an exclusive drop-shipping supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ample Organics Inc. (“Ample Organics”). Ample Organics is Canada’s leading seed-to-sale software platform, currently used by the majority of Canada’s licensed producers of medical cannabis (“LPs”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Namaste will connect its cannabis hardware and accessory platform via API integration with Ample Organics’ system. This will allow each of Ample Organics’ LP customers to have instant access to a large variety of devices and accessories available for purchase during checkout. The Agreement will provide added value for Ample Organics customers by offering their patients industry-leading products. Namaste is proud to have this unique opportunity in partnering with Canada’s most innovative seed-to-sale software company and this Agreement clearly demonstrates Namaste’s continued focus on achieving technological development for the cannabis industry.



Key Terms of the Agreement

Namaste will have first right of refusal to supply new products as requested by Ample Organics, or its customers, for drop-shipping through the API integration.





In the event that Namaste decides not to carry a new product or cannot source such product within 30 days, Ample Organics will be granted the right to offer the new product using drop-shipping through a 3rd party supplier.





Each order will be submitted electronically via API integration that will also provide live access to tracking information, inventory and shipping data.





Namaste will be responsible, at its cost for all product support, returns and warranty claims.
