Goods bought on-line using discount code, supplier now asking for the full amount.

I wonder what the legalities of not actually showing the T&C are.

My wife is a business as she is a self employed childminder, so i would imagine that the T&C's that are on the site would apply to her

That's fine. As said on more than one of occasion, you can ignore this demand - contract is concluded. (Ref. term 3.2)

The T & C pertaining to the code do not have to be on their website. They could be attached to the code itself. If these T & C appeared in the internet listing of the code and the user of the code chose to ignore it then, yes, it could be fraud though proving it beyond a reasonable doubt is another matter.

Whilst "checking the validity of codes used is definitely within their control" they are not obliged by law to do so at any particular time.

The fact is that Mrs OP has not paid for the goods and, as I recall, the supplier has up to 6 years to chase for payment.

Also, is it not the case that where one party has made a misrepresentation then the contract becomes void?

I also placed several orders although i didnt give a valid phone number hence havent been contacted. When i placed the orders they only asked to onfirm whether i was an educational estabilishment which i click no. The only t&c's are the business ones which i ave printed off in case they try and add in a varied term. Can anyone find the consumer t&cs?

Mrs OP has paid in full, partly with a code.

There was no misrepresentation. It is very straightforward - the code was offered by Mrs OP, and accepted by the company.
