1. Description of Services. This website("Site") will contain offerings for the purchase of products and other items, services and experiences that are supplied by various brand merchants and suppliers ("Businesses"). Before making purchases, you will need to register as a member and agree to the terms set forth below (which terms incorporate by reference any terms linked to specific products or other offerings, our Privacy Policy, and any other terms posted on the Site). As part of your registration, you will give us certain personal information, which will be used by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy and to establish an account for you ("Account"). Your registration and use of the Site will signify your continued agreement to such terms. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you may not use the Site in any way.

By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, you are also consenting to receive marketing and advertisement e-mails from us from time to time. You may opt out of these emails by logging into your account and updating your email preferences under the "My Account" tab.
2. Prices. All offers are priced in U.S. dollars and are intended to be valid only in the United States. Applicable taxes will be added to all stated purchase prices prior to checkout. Any Business’s suggested retail price posted on this Site will have been verified in good faith with the Business by vente-privee prior to posting, but vente-privee does not guarantee the listed savings associated with any order.
3. Your Account - Changes to These Terms - Terminations. In establishing an Account, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and any ID or password issued to you and for restricting access to your computer. You agree to notify vente-privee immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach or potential breach of security. You may cancel your Account at any time. Upon any membership or Account cancellation for any reason, you will only be responsible for any unpaid amounts associated with prior purchases. Any cancellation or termination of your Account will result in forfeiture of any credits that may have been applied thereto. We may change these terms (and/or any agreements, policies or other terms referenced, incorporated or linked to herein) from time to time on a going-forward basis, and the current terms will always be posted on this Site. If you do not agree to these terms at any time, you should not conduct any more transactions or participate in any other activity through the Site. Your use of the Site after any such changes indicates that you agree to such changes. We may discontinue all or any portion of the services offered (or your Site participation or Account) at any time.
4. VP Offers. From time to time we will present to members special offers (“VP Offers”) to purchase products, services or unique experiences from various Businesses.
   
   Standard VP Offers : “Standard VP Offers” will allow you to purchase goods or services at a price that is lower than the value you will receive. The amount you pay is the “Paid Value” and the additional value you receive is the “Promotional Value”. (For example, if you buy a restaurant voucher for $50 that provides you with $75 of value for that restaurant, the Paid Value is $50; the Promotional Value is $25 and the “Full Value” is $75.) If we confirm your purchase of a Standard VP Offer, we may send you a voucher or code (a “VP Offer Voucher”) through the method set forth in the VP Offer or on or through the Site. Subject to applicable law, the Standard VP Offer you purchase may expire after a certain period (the "Expiration"), and after that period you may no longer be able to redeem its Full Value. It is important that you use the VP Offer Voucher to redeem the Full Value of the Standard VP Offer with the relevant Business before any stated Expiration. Unless otherwise specified in specific VP Offer Terms, in the event you do not redeem the Standard VP Offer before any stated Expiration, you will lose the Promotional Value but the Paid Value will be converted into a credit that you may use at the relevant Business for the length of time as required by applicable law. Conversion of the Paid Value into a credit shall constitute your sole remedy in the event you do not redeem a Standard VP Offer before any stated Expiration.
   
   Special VP Offers : Special VP Offers may be for a specific activity scheduled on a specific day (e.g., tickets to a performance on a specific date or an exclusive and unique experience) and may or may not have a Promotional Value and a Paid Value but may instead be offered at a stated price. In the event that you do not redeem a Special VP Offer on that specific date, that Special VP Offer will no longer be available and we have no responsibility to provide you with a credit in the amount of the purchase price.
   
   General VP Offer Terms : Each VP Offer is subject to its own terms (“VP Offer Terms”). Until your purchase is confirmed, we may withdraw any VP Offer. The VP Offer Voucher may have additional terms, conditions and/or restrictions which will be posted on the Site at the time the VP Offer is made. To obtain the goods or services from the Business, you must provide the VP Offer Voucher to the Business in the manner described in the VP Offer or as communicated by us to you electronically. Any VP Offer specific terms supersede any inconsistent terms in this Agreement, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law. The VP Offer Terms include any restrictions and conditions set forth on the VP Offer page of the Site (incorporated herein by reference) and the following:.

• VP Offer cannot be redeemed on same day as purchase, unless otherwise specified in specific VP Offer Terms.

• Reproduction, sale or trade of a VP Offer Voucher is prohibited.
• Any attempted redemption not consistent with the VP Offer Terms will render the VP Offer Voucher null and void.
• VP Offer is limited to the activities, services or products described, unless otherwise specified by Business.
• All purchases of VP Offers for restaurants may have limitations on the amount of the VP Offer value that can be redeemed for alcoholic beverages.
• Business is the seller of record for the VP Offer and is solely responsible for it and for the offered services/goods/activities. vente-privee is merely selling the VP Offer on behalf of the Business, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant law is solely determined by the Business, and vente-privee has no role in such determination or action on the part of the Business.
• vente-privee is not responsible for any injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by you in connection with the purchase or redemption of the VP Offer, or receipt of (or failure to receive) any service or product, or participation in any activity purchased.
