(If it wasn't their intent to go forward with this offer and promote it but it was their mistake for making it publicly viewable and not properly informing their reps, then I think they should honor the mistake out of good faith, but NOT if it means applying the offer to everyone for the entire originally posted date range, at an exorbitant cost.)
The first is not going to happen -- you already know that DL is not that stupid, so that's giving DL a free pass.
The second is so full of conditions that it's hard to tell when you wouldn't be basically giving DL a free pass, especially when you give them a free pass of sorts with your "before the page went dead" condition. What does the timing of when the "page went dead" have to do with this promotion? How would DL rely upon the timing of when the "page went dead" in any court.
