I'm aware of that but pointing it out as it's the first time I have ever had a quote with that on it.A quote is not a confirmed order, with deposit paid. Many Companies have that on a quotation anyway, or make a quote time limited (eg: 60 days).
Their is not escaping, if IW took an order, at an agreed price, and accepted a deposit in advance, they are duty (Contract) bound to supply those goods subject to the contract terms. Unless it was made clear to the customer AT THAT TIME, that the price was variable and subject to an increase in advance of delivery.
But, if variable prices are agreed, they should also include the possibility of a reduction in price should the opposite situation apply.
IW Contract will more than likely include the clause "Force Majeure" in other words, circumstances beyond there control. In this case, whether that has any legal standing is for a lawyer to advise.
This is in the terms and conditions from the company of the trailer I did buy.
