Fun fact ad 3 - in some countries (Poland) there is a concept in law of a public promise. If a corporation publicly promises something (a competition usually), they are obliged to act upon it, even if there were no signatures on the other side.

- jimnotgym 5y agoIn England and Wales (Scotland has its own legal system) there is very famous case law that says that an offer can be made to the world at large (through an advert in this case). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlill_v_Carbolic_Smoke_Ball_Co https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlill_v_Carbolic_Smoke_Bal... Which may seem to apply, but this was an offer to add a guarantee to the terms. Whereas merely advertising a price is just an invitation for the buyer to make you an offer. Here is an almost as famous case. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_Society_of_GB_v_Boots_Cash_Chemists_(Southern)_Ltd https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_Society_of_GB... I am not surprised our fellow common law jurisdictions like the US reached the same conclusion. The case law that makes up English civil law, especially the early stuff is really fascinating stuff to me. IANAL but understanding the contact law from these cases has won me several disputes in my professional life.
