Halfords price match . is it misleading?

[chapagnecharly]

Halfords price match details can be found here and i feel, given my experience on how they practice the T&C  these claims are massively misleading:

 

 

Price Match | Halfords UK

WWW.HALFORDS.COM

 

 

 

Their reply to CS agent was:

Quote

"we can not honour their request as it falls outside of our customer commitment of agreeing to a price match within a 10 mile radius.." 

 

 

They claim T&C specify a requirement that the competing store must be within a 10 mile radius of "the" price matching store. 

 

The T&C in question state: 

Quote

"If a product, the competitor’s item must be in stock for home delivery,

or

collection within a 10 mile radius of a Halfords retail store or autocentre/garage. "

 

N.B. I can confirm the T&C are written with both a comma and an OR separating what appears to be two conditions. 

 

What are your thoughts on this?

 

I understand "the meaning of "a halfords store"  to be signifcantly different to "the halford store" the first being any old halfords store, and the second more specific possibly referring to the price matching store.  

 

I also read that it is one condition OR the other ie either a ) home deliver OR b) collection within 10 miles.

 

Would you agree? 

 

They also make a bold claim that they can not be beaten on price. It feels awfully misleading. 

 

Note all their other conditions are met.

T&C's are not binding on either side.

 

else we'd never had £B's of PPI reclaimed.

Dragged out of my naïve ignorance, i'm quite stumped by that.

So what is the point of T&C's and when do they hold any weight? 

[dx100uk]

they dont in 99% of cases.

 

like all warranties, guarantees, and T&C's in the UK, where by you did not actually physically or electronically 'sign-up' - they're not worth the paper they are written on.
