On September 1st Tyrol Ltd, manufacturers of a muesli cereal, advertised in the national press that they would give a quartz watch to those customers who replied, to the address given, enclosing six vouchers from their cereal packets and a cheque for £1.50.
On September 8th Bert posts his six vouchers and encloses £1.50 cash. In the meantime Tyrol Ltd decided to withdraw the offer and have placed an advert in the national press for September 9th announcing that the watches are no longer available. By this date, Clive has collected five vouchers and does not see the advertisement withdrawing the offer.
Bert’s reply arrives on September 10th. Clive obtains a further voucher and sends six together with a cheque for £1.50 to the stated address. Clive’s reply is posted on September 11th and arrives two days later.
Tyrol Ltd now refuse to supply Bert and Clive with the watches.
Advise Bert and Clive.
