Honor your agreement

On the 26th of June 2022 I made a online purchase with mentioned compony, My payment was excepted and the order was in proses, on the 27th when I tracked my order and found it to be cancelled without any notice or correspondence from mentioned compony, Phoned the call center and was told that the pricing was wrong and that they could not honor the agreement, this was as good as a signed contract. I received a call from a lady from little falls branch at 12h00 on the 27th, and she told me that Leroy Merlin will not honor the agreement, not happy reason being If one has an agreement with a service provider and you don't stick to the agreement there surely will be repercussions. I need to know how does one go about reporting this case to the ombits man.

Reviewer Update
I need you to have a look at point 5.2 and 5.5

The issue is that you cancelled my order without letting me know, that come across as bad business practice, you accepted my payment that means that we were in agreement. The error was with your compony and me as a customer should not be shunted. Even if the add was placed in error, you are still obligated to correspond in a professional manner, and not just cancel orders, what happened to good business ethical practice. Last but not least, you should resolve issues in a better manner, I took my time and money to support your compony and all one gets is a mere "O we so sorry" that still doesn't resolve the issue with your compony wrongfully advertising the wrong price and accepting my payment.
