An Omani court has ordered a company to pay OMR 3,600 to a promotional contest winner after they received a wall clock instead of the advertised car prize. The participant was initially announced as the winner of a vehicle through a promotional campaign. Dissatisfied with the substitute prize, the consumer pursued legal action, arguing breach of contract and misleading advertising. The court sided with the consumer, deeming the substitution unacceptable and a violation of promised terms. This ruling underscores the importance of accurately representing prizes in promotional contests and fulfilling commitments made to participants. The case highlights increasing consumer awareness of rights and willingness to seek legal recourse for deceptive practices. It serves as a warning to companies operating promotional offers in Oman to ensure transparency and adherence to advertising regulations.
