The 60x30 print I ordered should have cost £50.39. I can see that they would soon run out of their 10,000 prints when they cost that much to begin with.
Not sure if the free offer will be honoured at that price either, it's a lot of money (Artscow skinflint here)!!!
Artscow are currently doing some deals on canvas prints, non stretched but 3x 20"x30" (50cm x 75cm ) for $26.99 delivered (roughly £18) or 3x 12"x18" (30cm x 45cm) for $16.99 delivered (roughly £11). Code on their Facebook.
You can make your own stretchers from 1"x2" wood, corrugated nails, and a staple gun. It's quite easy to do, and you'll end up with a way better deal!
The legally binding contract is complete when a retailer accepts an order. However, acceptance does not necessarily happen at the point of order. Even the confirmation email may not be an acceptance. Some retailers reserve the right to cancel an order up to the point of delivery. It is therefore important to carefully check the retailer’s terms and conditions (which must be available on their website) and emails – if a retailer simply acknowledges an order, there may be no contract at that point.
IF YOU CHECK YOUR INVOICES (sent to your emails) YOU WILL SEE AT THE BOTTOM IT CLEARLY SAYS "This email is for confirmation of receipt of your order and constitutes the acceptance of a contract of sale."
^this, to me, means that they have signed their legally binding contract and would now have to honour their sales or face been taken to court under the sale of goods act?
I think you might struggle with this in an English court, I'm afraid:

I got a deal from yourdesign.co.uk last year on a printed childrens hoodie; they were selling them at a ridiculous price (I think £2.50 printed) but they were bottle green. Never mind, I thought, good deal we can use. Ordered, and they ran out of stock to fulfil the orders. But instead of cancelling those they couldn't fulfil, they offered the deal anyway in different colours. I'm sure they made a huge loss. And what I received was just wonderful, high quality printing and clothing. Knocked spots off the competitor I'd used, with their shoddy tee's and printing that faded after half a dozen washes. Now I won't use anyone else.
A glitch can pay divvies for a wise company
Edit: So, you can buy a 30" x 20" stretched canvas from yourdesign.co.uk who I praise above, for £15 and £2.95 delivery. The picanova 'offer' shipping from Germany is for a 60cm x 40cm canvas (24" x 16"). That's no offer!
my name is Phil Norris and I am responsible for Business Development at Picanova. This morning unfortunately my team and I made an error on the promotional page of picanova.co.uk. We currently run an exclusive deal with Moneysavingexpert.com for a 60 x 40 cm canvas print for £14.99.
Here's the deal: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/free-photo-prints
Because the deal is restricted to a 60 x 40 cm canvas print, we cannot process any other sizes. Unfortunately the text on the Picanova site suggested otherwise; of course I personally apologise to you as I take full responsibility.
The deal is still live here with the same code: SAVEONCANVAS
This entitles you to a 60 x 40 cm canvas print for £14.99 - 72% discount.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Phil Norris
Your Picanova.co.uk Team
You'd be willing to take a (German) company to court because they won't offer a mistake on their website to give you something for free?
