Can Price Be Changed After Paypal Checkout

money24seven

I attended a webinar last week and at the end of it we were invited to attend 4 further webinars and the screen showed $77 and we were given a link to buy. Then the presenter asked his programmer to change paypal from the $1 trial. Like others my $1 payment was accepted by paypal and the presenter said "I THINK THOSE GUYS THAT ACTUALLY PURCHASED THIS FOR $1 THAT MUST BE THE BEST $1 THEY'VE ACTUALLY SPENT THAT MUST BE SOME HELL OF A DEAL EVEN HALLOWEEN OVER EVEN BLACK FRIDAY BUT COME ON GUYS YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN"
Now they have refunded the $1 and want $77 to attend.
I thought they had to abide by the price taken at time of checkout. Can anyone tell me my legal position here please.

Given that its taken in $ (USD i presume?)..........what country do the terms and conditions come from?

Really depends on the T&C's and when they say a contract is formed.

Thanks they are based in Canada and charged in USA $
I would have expected a contact to be formed as soon as the payment was accepted from my payal account, would this not be correct.

Not always no. Depends when contract is formed.

With them being in Canada though, UK law probably wont apply.

I am not sure if you can hold them to that or not, but conversely I don't think they can hold you liable to pay $77 for it. I would just tell them you are no longer interested at that price and walk away.
