Conversely, if the pricing is due to an error, the company can petition the court to annul the purchase contract, allowing it to refund customers without the necessity of delivering the goods.

Surely, this will apply.

It applies in your country too.

When you're signing a very obviously unbenefitial contract with the other party because someone forgot a zero, and you don't alert the other party, that contract will be void. This is called scrivener's error.

Believe it or not, you buying anything, even when you buy a hot-dog outside is a purchase contract.

So, you could argue yourself out of an incorrectly applied 10% discount voucher, but you won't argue yourself out of buying a new washing machine for 50$.

A customer, surnamed Wang, said she learned about the dramatic price drop via social media on August 28.

She bought three machines online, including two that usually sold for 1,699 yuan (US$240) each but were priced at just 299 yuan. And another that should have been 2,499 yuan but was labelled 439 yuan.

100% sure abuse of a scrivener's error. In fact, if the buyers will be honest about how they found out about this price and immediately decided to buy, they could be counter sued.

You're too far up your own asses most of the days, lemmy

Why are you quoting a US site for a case in China?

[-] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Because it explains you a broader legal concept in your default language.
