Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advertising a product at a certain price is generally considered an invitation to treat, not a formal offer that leads to a binding contract when accepted by a customer. Therefore, if the store runs out of the advertised product, they are not legally obligated to provide it to customers who arrive after stock is depleted.
