On many occasions it’s been upheld that an advertisement is not an offer in a contract. A store cannot be sued over not delivering on an advertisement.
There is a huge difference between buying a sandwich, and a claimed 5-figure deal. No one is going to sue over not being able to buy a sandwich.
If you walk into a car dealership and buy a car, you can be damn sure there will be a sales contract.
- tinco 4y agoSo what's the difference? And note this was not an advertisement, it was a personalized quote. Also while advertisements made in separate channels (like on TV) might not be binding, at least where I live any advertisements made in the store are certainly binding.

- nrmitchi 4y ago> it was a personalized quote. "personalized quote" implies that the owner here took the time to look into the prospective buyer, and determine an amount that was based on that buyer. It is not in any way, shape, or form reasonable to assume that the seller looked into Jump, determined that they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on something called "Wormhole Network", and that 50k was what they would reasonable pay for "wormhole.com". Trying to phrase this as a "personalized" quote is misleading.
