Business Halacha Daily

May One Take Advantage of a Price Glitch?

When engaging in online commerce, one often discovers price glitches where a mistake was clearly made in the price given online. For example, one may find a product or deal that is supposed to be worth $1,200 but is listed by mistake for $120. Is it permitted to take advantage of such a price glitch? Does it matter whether one finds it on one’s own or on a website dedicated to tracking such occurrences?

“My sister has an Amazon Prime account. Although I do not find it worthwhile to purchase my own account, I do occasionally order from Amazon. Is it permitted to use my sister’s Prime account to order and receive free shipping (and whatever other benefits it entails)?”

Using a One-time Coupon Code Multiple Times

There are many online shopping websites which offer special coupon codes for new customers with free shipping or discounts. If someone who is not a new customer somehow obtains a new customer coupon code, is it permitted for him to use it?

Can One Take Advantage of Broad Online Return Policies?

What are the halachic parameters considering purchasing where one “knows” that he will return the item, in order to receive a refund, and may be allowed to keep the product?

Questions are open to everyone. The answers come with your dashboard, on the topic being learned now.
