A less charitable interpretation would be that Groupon has to keep the money longer because it needs cash to keep paying the bills.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to their subject matter and supersedes any prior or simultaneous oral or written agreements on such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended or modified in writing by mutual consent of the authorized representatives of the Parties. (6) Liability of Groupon. If something goes wrong and you can sue them for something, Groupon`s liability is limited to the Opportunity Fee. What is an Opportunity Fee? Who knows? It is a term that should be defined somewhere in the agreement. (I really hope they`ll settle this in later versions of the agreement; it`s an incredibly sloppy bar, as well as a reference to GROUPOIN.) My guess, based on marketing speech, is that this is Groupon`s cut of the deal.
