LastMinuteWed, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “LastMinuteWed”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides a digital coupon marketplace in the United States of America (the “Services”) which includes, and is accessible via, (i) the website published at http://www.LastMinuteWed.com (and any other websites with LastMinuteWed branding that link to these Terms) (collectively, the “Site”) and (ii) mobile-device applications that are branded as LastMinuteWed and link to these Terms (collectively, the “Application”). The Services, for example, allow users to access coupons of certain third-party merchants (“Merchants”) for online or in-store use. By using the Services, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use (“Terms”), whether or not you become a registered user of the Services. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services, and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and LastMinuteWed. Please read carefully these Terms.
If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Services.
Modification. LastMinuteWed may change these Terms from time to time, on a prospective basis, and modify, add or discontinue any aspect, content or feature of the Services, at its sole discretion. Your continued use or accessing of the Services following the posting of any changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes. To the extent that an arbitrator or court of applicable jurisdiction determines that applying any changes to these Terms would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the date of such changes, to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms being deemed illusory or unenforceable.
Unauthorized access, distribution, reproduction, copying, retransmission, publication, sale, exploitation (commercial or otherwise), or any other form of transfer of any portion of the Site, Application or Services, including but not limited to all content, services, digital products, tools or products, is hereby expressly prohibited.

5.1 Law and Forum for Legal Disputes
These Terms or any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the state of California regardless of your country of origin or where you access our services, and notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods. You and LastMinuteWed agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below.

Such different terms are made available through the individual project or service and are not addressed further herein.
