Re: Vinomofo Wine Deals
Your argument is that a contract is a contract is a contract, so the characterisation was meant to help. While there is a contract, online buying introduces other challenges than my property contract example, including technology faults. I'll ask you the question in another way - if you accidentally accidentally input 100 instead of 1 case and pushed 'buy', and only caught it after the fact, do you really think that will hold up in court as long as you make a reasonable attempt to rectify before it is sent? It's not the exactly the same concept as a technology fault, but it's the concept that online buying isn't as black and white as signing paper contracts.
No - I'm talking about contracts in general. Are you saying that there's no contract when you buy some goods from a website? That the vendor is supplying on the basis of some kind of goodwill? On what basis is one an apple and one an orange?
Please stop trying to characterise what I'm saying, and just answer the question. Because it's a pretty fundamental point. If there's no contract, I should be able to cancel anything I commit to buying, because all I did was click "buy" on a website. And heck, QANTAS should be free to cancel the seats I bought on the plane, because all I did was click "buy" on a website - which I'm sure they'd do if they could find someone else to pay more for them.
