Asda PAYG Camera Phone £5 Free Delivery

yes it would dictate that, the agreement section is ASDA putting your item on the back of the van for it to be delivered. they are perfectly within their rights to refuse to sell you anything so long as they don't post it, they let you know and refund the postage.

We must be thinking of different laws of contract

The consideration is the acceptance and binds the contract, ie the accepting of the money. Asda can not [lawfully] refuse to sell something which they have already agreed to sell by accepting payment. (to be pedantic, there are some proviso's, but which don't seem to apply here)

Of course, Asda's concept of binding the contract may well be posting the phone. But the lawful interpretation of this contract of sale is somewhat different.

I'll just waiting for someone to chip in, along the lines of "...is it worth it the hassle for a £5 phone?".

Contract law would dictate that offer/acceptance/payment is a binding contract.

If, in the case of a misprice, the price is so low as to be clearly wrong, then the store would have a defence.

But in this case, this is not the situation, and the contract is binding

Where did you get your law degree...just curious...or is this information readily available on the net...could be useful

Just had an email telling me its staff only.

Thats fair enough.

I ordered before I knew this was the case. My money will be refunded so nothing lost.

Thanks to the original poster anyway because I am sure they had the best of intentions.

Dear Customer,

Thank you very much for your recent order for ASDA mobile. This is a colleague only offer and open only to colleagues currently employed by ASDA Stores Ltd.

We note from your order that it was placed by bypassing a welcome page explaining the terms and conditions of this offer and/or including the requirement to enter your personal valid ASDA employee ID number and store/depot place of employment. Without these the order can not be processed.

As a result of not entering all the correct details, the order you placed will be cancelled automatically over the next 24hrs and should any funds have been taken from your account, these will be refunded in full. No handset will be shipped to you.

If you are an ASDA colleague then we are very sorry about this inconvenience and ask that you re-order the handset via the advertised web address, having both your employee ID and place of work available to enter, both of which will be validated before the order is completed.


Kind Regards
The ASDA Phones Team
