A much more interesting UK legal concept is ‘invitation to treat’. Did you know that you can be contractually bound by things you say in adverts and that promises made in adverts can override conflicting terms of service? E.g a train company advertises a timetable and allows you to buy open return tickets which allow you to travel on any train. You rely on an advertised train but it’s delayed and you miss a connecting train to, say, a ferry. That’s a breach of contract and the train company has to put you right; put you up in a hotel until the next ferry or put you in a taxi instead of the missed connection so you don’t miss the ferry. (Both of which have been done for me by train companies). This is a pretty complicated area of contract law and where there is statutory legislation governing what you are owed, e.g EU flight compensation, this can override contract law. So definitely consult a professional lawyer when negotiating this stuff.
