Promotional Offers.  Through the Site, we may provide you with access to certain promotional offers, classifieds or other games or contests, provided by us or a third party participating on our Site (each a “promotional offer”) which relate to certain events, products and/or services. We will always make every effort to provide you with any additional terms and conditions or rules associated with any promotional offer. If you participate in a promotional offer through the Site, you may be presented with certain coupons, confirmations or other indicia related to the particular promotional offer which may relate to a discount on certain events, products or services or some other benefit (each, a “confirmation”).  Our Site has a finite, and therefore limited, capacity and some confirmations and/or responses to your communications in relation to promotional offers may not be processed in a timely fashion.
