Dell’s Australia arm has been slapped with a $10 million AUD (about $6.49 million) fine for “making false and misleading representations on its website about discount prices for add-on computer monitors,” the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced today. The Australian regulator said the company sold 5,300 monitors this way.
They put that clause in our sales contracts too but I don’t it can be legally enforces.
I just double checked the class action thing, it looks like Dell has already been forced to offer refunds so a class action might not apply here, IANAL.
Either way, it’s something, even if it isn’t perfect.
