  • Hey, this is heating up isn't it! Shame the ney sayers keep coming back here to get their kicks. Did anyone get a copy of the terms when they ordered? If so i would be very grateful if someone could either post them on here or send me a private message. Thanks, Joe

    I have a copy of the terms & conditions and a screenshot of the page with the price advertised as £199. PM me if you want it.

    do you not think the fact it was 1K off the RRP is a little give away?
    You can easily get £1k off a Sofa at DFS and walk away with a sofa for £200. Why does this suddenly not apply to TV's?!

    It doesn't matter whether the contract is finalized or not (order confirmation, payment taken etc.). If there is a unilateral mistake the agreement is considered void.

    This has been confirmed by court rulings over and over again. I don't know why people keep doing this. It was a mistake and it has been corrected.

    Look up 'unilateral mistake' on Wikipedia.

    I've had a few requests so I'm just going to post links to the web pages here for people to copy. Good luck if you try to pursue it.

    Pixmania T&C at the time of ordering. I have the whole page but this is the section that deals with ordering.
