Hey! We've got a marvelous, fantastic deal for you, one that will make your wallet heavier, your life better, your teeth whiter and your significant other want to have sex with you every night. And the price is so damn low, we're CRAZY! Except for you doofs in Nebraska. You're stuck out, and we're certainly not going to tell you why. Na na na-na na! Often summed up quite simply with "Void where prohibited", a phrase which shifts the onus of learning about obscure laws away from the seller and onto the consumer. Compare to No Export for You. If it's a limitation to something that is being exported, it's this trope crossing with Bad Export for You. For more information on why this trope happened, see the Analysis page. Examples |

Sheep in the Big City exaggerated this to absurd lengths in a cutaway gag, with a list of terms and conditions that ran for at least a minute. And the prize was a single can of Shrimp Cola. | |

If a British comic, such as The Beano or The Dandy, has a cover mounted free gift, it would often be absent when sold in the Republic of Ireland. Probably also applies to Canada and New Zealand. | |

The Simpsons: Paul Anka's jingle for a monster-busting product he endorses in "Treehouse of Horror VI" ends with Lisa interrupting to state that his guarantee for the product is void in Tennessee. (Which, of course, raised some Wild Mass Guessing about Where the Hell Is Springfield?.) Lampshaded in the episode "Fear of Flying" where an official at Krazy Klown Airlines offers Homer and his family free tickets to anywhere in the U.S., "excluding Alaska and Hawaii, the freak states.". "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment": |

Lampshaded by Tony Kornheiser on ESPN's Pardon the Interruption. After the standard half hour, he and Mike Wilbon "toss it up to SportsCenter," but briefly interrupted (no pun intended) the latter show with an extra segment (for a period, this was the "Big Finish"), during which they truly close out their show. Initially, TSN didn't air this segment on its SportsCentre, so at the end of every show, Kornheiser waves a Canadian flag and says "Goodnight, Canada!" SportsCentre has since started airing the segment from time to time. | |

Parodied in World of Warcraft: One of the demons a warlock can summon, the voidwalker, a kind of shadow/nothingness elemental, sometimes says "I...am...void...where...prohibited." when summoned. There is also the many real-world competitions on the World of Warcraft website, as well as the launched Arena Tournaments. In Europe, many countries within the EU are prohibited from entering any such competition due to national laws that are beyond Blizzard's control. People in Quebec also cannot enter the tournaments. | |

Parodied in The Daily Show skit "Freedom Packages," an imitation infomercial offering "packages" of US intervention. In the end, after a long list of possible "side effects," it says "Package not valid in West Bank and Gaza." | |

An '80s Federated Dept. Store commercial starring Shadoe Stevens played this for laughs; the disclaimer portion of a faux infomercial ad included the phrase, "offer not available in Squid Valley, void where inflatable". | |

Microsoft gave away a free copy of The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" as part of its Windows 95 20th Anniversary promotion. The catch is the offer is only valid in North America, West Europe including the UK, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Live elsewhere? Clicking on the link on the blog site does launch the Windows store and takes you to the album's page... where you need to buy the song with your own money. Ouch. Even worse when it displays the album but claims that the album cannot be sold in your country, but searching for the song on the store does produce a result, except that it isn't free. | |

An inversion of the above happens with the Spanish branch of Italian media group Mediaset and its... odd... relationship with YouTube. Mediaset has the rights to produce and air the Spanish versions of Got Talent and The X Factor, and the videos of the YouTube channels of both formats are available everywhere but Spain, where you have no choice but to go look for them in Mediaset's websites. | |

Several chapters of Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle have Syalis wanting some item she saw on the shopping channel. However, the demon realm is outside the shopping channel's delivery network (presumably because they don't have postmen willing to fight their way through hordes of monsters just to deliver a package), so Syalis has to try to make something similar to the advertised item instead of buying it. | |

Happens frequently with contests in City of Heroes that have real-world prizes. Since European players were so often excluded there were eventually Europe-only contests held for those players that the Americans cannot enter. Also, one of the major locations in the gameworld is Paragon City, Rhode Island; and that US state is excluded from participating in real-world contests. | |
