We are excited you are here, and we hope you are, too. These terms are applicable to both of us, and by accessing our site or using our services, you agree that they will apply to you (and you will abide by them). If you don't agree to play nice, then you should stop playing (using our site or services) immediately. Here are some definitions. "You" are you; "we" or "us" are Lantern. Our "Platform" includes our site, apps and all the tech that goes with them.

You must be at least 18 and must legally agree to these terms. If that doesn't sound like you, then please come back when that sounds more like you. If you are at least 18, here's stuff you can and can't do.

We will try to make our site and services available 24/7 or as much as reasonably possible. If either goes down, your only option is to wait for functionality to be restored. Trust us, we don't want it to go down either.

Lantern and our partners own the site and the apps and all the other intellectual property each of us has created.

Don't be a jerk. Don't hack our site or services. Don't reverse engineer them. Don't try to sell anything through them (unless you're using your Merchant Account to do it according to that agreement). Be nice to other members of the Lantern community. We've spent a lot of time and effort to make Lantern awesome - don't ruin it for others.

You can only set up one account. It should be your account for your use - you can't transfer it to anyone.

Only reserve deals you actually intend on redeeming. Cancel a deal reservation if you realize you won't be redeeming it so that others can use it. We can suspend or deactivate your account at our discretion - so don't abuse it!

We've got everything in here that we can think of now, but inevitably, something will come up and we'll need to update this agreement. We have the right to do that so that we can protect our company, employees, community and users and continue to deliver an awesome service. We will provide notice on our site before those changes go into effect - which gives you an excuse to read this policy often. If you don't like the changes that we have made or are going to make, you should quit using our services (you can also tell us what you don't like so we can think about whether or not it really was a bad idea).

Don't steal our logos and copyrighted stuff or that of our Merchants and affiliates - it's just not nice. If someone else stole your copyrighted stuff and put it on our site/app/etc, or told us they owned it and we put it up, contact us at the following address to tell us to take it down: Lantern Software, Inc., 11184 Antioch Rd. #157, Overland Park, KS 66210.

Although we hope it seems like Lantern is being delivered on the backs of a herd of winged unicorns, we are human. If our platform isn't up 24/7 or doesn't work for any other reason, you can't sue us. We hope you still like us, even though we're not perfect.

If something doesn't work out exactly right, you can't sue us.

We link to other sites. We aren't responsible for those sites. Peruse the rest of the Interwebs at your own risk.

You can't sue us for some other stuff like if a merchant is a jerk. We want to know if this happens though, because that's not cool. We may suspend or disable their account at our discretion.

We can terminate this agreement, your account, our any of our services, if we need to.

We'll use Kansas Law, and we will work through our dispute in the State of Kansas, for anything that comes up. <insert Dorothy jokes here>

This section includes some other random stuff that doesn't really fit under the other headings.

You can contact us via the Platform, and we will either contact you by posting a message on the Platform or via any other contact information that you provide.

Definitions - Deal vouchers ("Vouchers") are electronic or physical vouchers used to grant access to a particular Deal. "Deals" are time-limited, limited-quantity promotions or single-use promotions provided by Merchants to a certain number of customers with a discount on goods or services that the Merchant provides.

How It Works - Merchants can create Deals. Users then may reserve these Deals and redeem a Voucher through the Platform, as long as that user's account is in good standing. A Deal may be reserved and redeemed only within the Deal's valid time range, which is between the start time of a Deal ("Start Time") and end time of a deal ("End Time"). The Deal may be reserved and redeemed only if the Deal is not over or at its quantity limit ("Limit"). A user account is required for reserving and redeeming Deals.

Specific Terms - each Deal will have specific terms and restrictions associated with the particular Voucher on behalf of the Merchant. Any terms specific to a particular Deal will be presented at the time you commit to the particular Deal and will be stated on the Voucher. If you are unsure of any Deal terms, please contact the Merchant directly. Unless prohibited by applicable law, all Deal specific terms will supersede any inconsistent terms contained in these Terms.

Universal Terms - Vouchers cannot be used for alcohol (unless allowed by the applicable Merchant, along with applicable federal, state and local laws), have no cash value, cannot be combined with other offers, promotions, or coupons (unless specifically noted in the Deal details) and cannot be used for shipping and handling charges, tax or gratuity. Unless otherwise stated on a particular specific Voucher or required by applicable law, the following terms shall also apply to all Vouchers: (1) no cash back will be issued for partial redemption of the paid portion of a Voucher; (2) no cash back or credit will be issued for partial redemption of the promotional portion of a Voucher (the promotional portion of a Voucher is the amount of goods or services you will receive beyond the amount paid if used by the specific expiration date); (3) neither the Merchant nor we are responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers; (4) duplicate use, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited; (5) Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and therefore may not be redeemed incrementally; and (6) any attempt at redemption inconsistent with these terms and conditions will render the specific Voucher void.

Expired Deals - The user should have no expectation, nor does Lantern or any Merchant guarantee, that a Voucher may be used after the Deal's End Time. At the Merchant's discretion, the Merchant may choose to honor an expired Deal.

Discounts - A Deal's "discount value" is the value of the unpaid, promotional or discount portion of the Voucher. User payments to the Merchant and discounts from a Voucher will be applied as follows:

• Payment is first applied to the paid portion of a promotion until the entire paid portion is covered.
• Next, the promotional or discount value portion of the Voucher is applied to the bill.
• Finally, payment is applied to any outstanding balance over and above the Voucher amount.

For example, if a user has a $10 off of $20 Voucher, and has received $30 worth of goods or services: the first $10 would constitute the paid portion, the next $10 would constitute the discount portion and the last $10 would constitute an amount above and beyond the Voucher amount. The user would pay $20 in this scenario. If the total value of goods was less than $10, the user would pay that full amount. If the total value of goods was between $10 and $20, the user would pay $10.

• The first $10 would constitute the paid portion (the amount the user is required to pay).
• The next $10 would constitute the discount portion (the discount value of the Voucher).
• The last $10 would constitute an amount above and beyond the Voucher amount, which the user would also be required to pay).
• The user would pay $20 in this scenario.
• If the total value of goods was less than $10, the user would pay that full amount.
• If the total value of goods was between $10 and $20, the user would pay $10.

Release of Liability - Lantern connects users and Merchants, however the Merchant retains all liability for their Vouchers. You acknowledge that the Merchant retains all liability for any damages, claims, liabilities, injuries/illnesses and costs suffered by you or parties connected to you as a result of their services or otherwise relating to the Merchant's Voucher in any way.

From time to time, we may need to update or change these Terms. If we make changes that we deem are significant, we will notify you by email. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically. When we make changes to these Terms, they will become effective immediately. If, at any future point, you do not agree to any changes, you must discontinue your use of the Platform immediately. Using the Platform at any point after such changes have been made constitute your agreement to those then-current Terms.
