I too am a law student. Duo, you should probably read your contracts book again…it’s a whole new ball game with online companies not to mention we have to deal with an Agency/Principle relation with Amazon and MyOfficeSource. Who takes the hit when things go sour? Amazon or MyOfficeSource? Do we, as users of Amazon, have a separate TOA saying that Amazon has the right to cancel any order for any reason? I’m sure as hell not reading that full service agreement.

update for me since I had to try to buy the TV just to see how they would cancel it:

Ok boys and girls, here's the d.l. from a law student.

1) The company CANNOT change the price on you. They cannot say "t.v. for $100," you buy it, then they change it to $1000. CANNOT DO IT, STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT.

2) NY state law states that once something has been bought (in this case, your account has been charged, as in my case)for a set price aka $100 t.v., the BEST a company can do is OFFER a refund. YOU CAN REJECT IT, and they have to give the item to you, at their loose. However, this more than likely does NOT apply to out of states, sorry folks not in NY.

I'm just hoping this sh*t is all automated, and they send it out, easiest possibility. Someone f*cked this up hard, either myofficesource, or amazon. Again, if Amazon did, they would have to pay myofficesource the remainder of the price. Myofficesource would only HAVE to ship the items, if it's their mistakes to NY residents, as long as the customer rejected the refund, which I would do before they even said it.

Hope all works out!
