Product Pricing Errors

At anytime that we inaccurately price an item we will honor that price if a customer buys the product. If we find the error on our own or it is brought to our attention before any purchases are made we reserve the right to correct the error and we are not required to honor the price.

Mistakes Happen

In general, there's no law that requires companies to honor an advertised price if that price is wrong. Typographical errors, miscommunication and other glitches can result in items being offered at what appear to be deep discounts -- discounts that would be ruinous for the company if it were forced to honor them. Laws against false or deceptive advertising require an intent to deceive on the part of the advertiser. If a company can demonstrate that an advertised price was simply a mistake, then it's not false advertising. Still, if the mistake isn't too big, it may be in the company's best interest to honor the advertised price rather than anger so many potential customers.

Bait and Switch

Consumers who seize upon a fantastic advertised offer that they're later told is a mistake might cry "bait and switch" -- and they frequently do. However, the Federal Trade Commission has a very specific definition of illegal bait-and-switch schemes, which it refers to as "bait advertising." In a bait-and-switch scam, a company intentionally advertises a specific item at a specific price simply to get customers into the store. At that point, the company tries to sell them a different product at a higher price or on terms "more advantageous to the advertiser." Customers who demand the advertised offer are never told that it's a mistake, but they're never allowed to actually get that product at that price.

Contract

Assuming that an incorrect advertised price is truly an error rather than an attempt to deceive, companies are only obligated to honor it if a customer makes an offer at that price and the company accepts it. This exchange creates a contract between buyer and seller. In a store, customers make an offer simply by indicating they want to buy an item -- for example, by bringing it up to the register -- and the company accepts the offer by ringing up the sale. In the brick-and-mortar world, contracts don't get formed around pricing errors because the store just won't ring up the sale. But online selling, in which transactions are processed automatically, has added a new layer of complexity to the issue.

Online Standards

When an e-commerce website has had an incorrect price entered into its database, it can end up not only advertising that price but also accepting orders and charging customers' credit cards for that amount. The central issue here is whether retailers can void the contract created when orders were accepted. The easiest way for a company to deal with such situations is to have website "terms of use" that clearly state the company can cancel orders and refund customers' money because of pricing errors (or for any reason). Otherwise, a common law doctrine known as "unilateral mistake of fact" applies. This doctrine allows a party to a contract to set aside the contract if honoring it would be "unconscionable," or if the other party could have reasonably assumed it was a mistake. A $1,000 item advertised for $10 likely would meet this definition.
