- jkaplowitz 8y agoA lot of places have consumer protection laws about price signage and labeling which take precedence over contract law.
- tom_ 8y agoI was under the impression that this was the case in America and Australia as well, but it's possible it is only true for the UK.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoI know from first hand experience that it's true in NYC and in the Canadian province of Quebec. I think it's true in many more countries and many more places in the US and Canada, but as those two examples show, it's not always legislated at the top level of a county, even when there is a law or binding regulation about it.
- Kim_Bruning 8y agoThis is true in some countries, but not in others. Eg. in the Netherlands it is binding the moment a customer indicates they accept it. (On the other hand -relevant to the topic- an agreement may be declared void in the case of "obvious error"; so Fanduel could possibly have been off the hook if they had been operating in .nl .)
