Renderholic, I'm talking about their newsletter. Did you see it?
It is advertising a product that they dont really offer for sale. They say I can upgrade from vue7 complete to vue9 complete for $98. That is it. No mention of extra payments or being conditional to additional purchases. Not even as a small print. I wanted that advertised product at the price they advertised. That is the definition of truth in advertisemnet.
What they did is baiting - mentioning something cheap in the advert and offering something ELSE, more expensive in their showroom=upgrade page.
Baiting and switching isnt considered fair trading practice.
It isnt about the information available on their site. It is about their advertisemnet.
By the way , your statements arent accurate either, they dont reflect the real price -
They are not offering as you say "V7 Complete to V9 Complete, it's $98 with subsription" V7c to v9c with subscription costs 98+12x12 = $242 (in whole dollars).
"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams,
or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not
wish to paint, the things which already have an
existence."
