c. Furthermore, while we appreciate that the Toys R Us/Babies R Us website may be used as a source of research and information regarding the listed products and pricing before attending one of our many physical stores to purchase the desired goods, please note that the pricing, description and availability on the Toys R Us/Babies R Us website does not constitute an offer by any of our physical Toys R Us/Babies R Us stores. As such, our physical stores will not be obligated to honour such online pricing where it conflicts with our physical store pricing where it is determined to be, in our sole discretion, to be an unintentional and/or obvious error.

We would therefore recommend using instant payment methods such as Credit or Debit Cards, in order to avoid disappointment.
