Is there a plan for how emergency updates will be made to the catalog, for example to update products or prices?
- If a price is discovered to be incorrect due to a typo, such as $10.00 instead of $100.00 or a product description incorrect, such as an acrylic sweater really being made from cashmere, what is the process to update the Web site. Will the source be updated as well?
