No contract exists until you receive confirmation that your credit card payment has been accepted.
This is BS and will NOT hold up in a court of law.
The terms of contract are laid out on the screen including the fare. Clicking PURCHASE implies you and DL agree to those laid out terms and 'sign' the contract. Unilatteraly changing those terms AFTER having clicked PURCHASE (i.e. after signing) is fraudulent.
