Unfortunately, UA's site has several examples of this type of contradiction. For practical purposes, it seems that everyone has 24 hours and the 7-day thing isn't enforced. A cautious customer could take a screenshot of the verbiage you quoted prior to purchase. If UA were to decide to contest one, I suspect they'd back off upon being presented with the screenshot, although it might take a DOT complaint to get someone at UA to read and to understand the request.
