Dear ***xx, We are sorry to hear of the circumstances under which your Hellopeter posting has reached us and we do apologise for the inconvenience caused. We thank you for bringing the matter to our attention. We regrettably advise as per the Terms and Conditions, the deals are valid while stocks last. Vodacom does reserve the right to alter or withdraw the deals advertised without notice. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused. For your convenience, kindly see URL http://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/terms/contract-terms-and-conditions Kind regards, Vodacom Customer Care Randall October

Withdrawing or altering an advert is irrelevant as I already had an order number while stock was available AND A COMMITMENT WAS MADE BY VODACOM. An advert can be pulled but a commitment to fulfil an order was made when I received the order number. By not supplying me with the goods, according to the CPA this is bait marketing and breach of contract.

1)A supplier must not advertise any particular goods or services as being available at a specified price in a manner that may result in consumers being misled or deceived in any respect relating to the actual availability of those goods or services from that supplier, at that advertised price. 2)If a supplier advertises particular goods or services as being available at a specified price, and the adverti*****t expressly states a limitation in respect of the availability of those goods or services from that supplier at that price, the supplier must make those goods or services available at that price, to the extent of the expressed limits. 3)It is a defence to an alleged failure to comply with subsection (1) or (2) if— a)the supplier offered to supply or procure another person to supply a consumer with the same or equivalent goods or services of the kind advertised within a reasonable time, in a reasonable quantity, and at the advertised price; and b)the consumer— i)unreasonably refused that offer; or ii)accepted the offer, and the supplier has supp**** or procured another person to supply the goods or services so offered and accepted

Surely Vodacom's weak terms and conditions cannot overule CPA?

I will be contacting the press and take further action as I am within my legal right. I have also collated all other similar complaints for the misleading Black Friday mysterious deal cancellations.
