If they debit your card then theyve made a contract, no matter what their T&Cs say; but it still wont be enforcable where an obvious mistake has been made.

So that's the end of that then...

If the website quoted 49p I would have reasonable grounds to assume that this is the price for the product, regardless of whether it is an obvious mistake they should take the financial punishment for their incompetence.

Amazon did the same thing a couple of years ago for Ipaqs, didn't have to pay because of the similar clauses on their website.

But the District Judge has to agree with you; and he wont.

I suppose the same could be said for consumers that expect companies to refund for goods because they made the wrong choice.

And I'm sure most people on here would also expect the right to call up Homebase if you changed your mind on the TV after 20 minutes and cancel the order.

It wouldnt be ScoobyNet if several people didnt voice their ill-informed opinions after youve explained the law.....would it?
