can an internet business change their price after you ordered from them?

June 29, 2008 I ordered two products from an internet business. I printed my reciept, and recieved an email order conformation on the same day which confirms the price. On July 5 2008 I recieved an email from the company which claims that somebody hacked into their system and changed the price of the 2 products I ordered.

Is this legal? Don't they have an obligation to honor the price advertised on their site? I also find it hard to believe that anybody changed the price on only 2 of their 100+ products. This just doesn't seem fair to me, they should be obligated to the price on my order confirmation email and reciept, right??

Please helpWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You are wrong. The vendor does NOT have to honor a legitimate error (and this seems to be the epitome of that)

Depends on: a) your agreement with them, if any, and b) any applicable law, if any.
