[Staffslug] OT: advertising rules

Does anybody know if advertising rules apply on the internet to mail that you is received making offers? I'm sure there was some legislation not too long back that practically brought web based ad's into line with other media. So, for example, claims made should be as stated in the offer. If an offer of a product was made then it had to be clear and precise. I've been offered a magazine subscription at a discount. Very nice and fully intended on taking it up. Until I went to the sub's page and found that the offer was only valid for potential US customers :-( No word of this in the initial e-mail and in none of the other three from a series of months ago... So they've had time to amend the way it's written. Ok, it's the US but I understood that they had to comply with our advertising rules too? Anybody??? -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire
