Price fraud – overcharging by the seller or underpaying by the buyer – is prohibited. The law in any particular case depends on three factors: the amount of the fraud, the time that elapses between the transaction, and the time the defrauded party protests.
If the amount of price fraud is a discrepancy of less than 1/6, the sale stands, and all claims are immediately waived. If the amount is precisely 1/6, the buyer can demand a refund. If the amount is more than one-sixth, either party can void the sale.
The defrauded party has as much time as it takes to show the purchase to a merchant or his relative for assessment.
