Now by their T's and C's, once they take the money they have accepted the order, according to tesco the money transfer is authorised and has gone, so does this mean they have accepted my order?

We shall see!

No, its all worded in their favour, they at anytime can say we are not going to supply you at our discretion, I'll let you all argue about it but you wont get it unless they want you too.

Hmmm, doesn't look good does it.

The T&C do not make sense to me isn't - OUR ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER WILL CREATE A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN US. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT NOT TO SUPPLY YOU AT OUR DISCRETION. a little contradictory??

The acceptance of your order will create a legally binding contract between us but then they can just not supply it anyway?

Hi Red,
From memory if its the ones I'm thinking of it was Argos with the telly should have been £299 and it was put up at £2.99 but there was a little difference in that they got away with it because the website did not issue confirmation of acceptance....there is also something to do with an "offer to treat" as opposed to an "offer to sell" and the way I understand it (and it is many many years since I did that side of it) if an offer to treat is made by a company then the puchaser makes an offer to buy ....whether the company accepts the offer is up to them and even though money is taken if they suspect the price was incorrect they can still turn the offer down.
IMHO in this case they have not only offered to treat but have agreed the contract subject to cleared funds at the price, which in my mind means they have offered to sell and we have made the offer to buy and they have confirmed acceptance. Also in accepting monies for the transaction they have also agreed to sell the item and confirmed the contract.
Without trying to get everyones hopes up too much although there is a lot going for it as in the advert not only stated the price of £355 but it also highlited the fact that we were going to save £5241 which means a double error, also the fact that the item was on sale on Saturday then removed and put back on sale today at the offer price will not bode well for them.
Another aspect of this is the "write off point" lets say the item costs them £2000 to make which means they are going to have to swallow £1650 ish loss on each one that will have to be weighed up against the prospect of numerous small claims going to court up and down the country for failure to fulfill a contract, which will cost them more than £1650 a time if you take into account the costs of briefs and top management and bad publicity.
Please note these are only my thoughts and opinions and although I have a little experiance in similar matters I'm certainly no expert and certainly not on WWW contracts
