The fact that the card was charged by an automated system doesn't change the terms of use. Their disclaimer is clear for the online consumer to understand, and as far as anyone knows a refund will be issued.
They have a right to refuse an order resulting from a mistake and everyone else has a right to not do business with them.
When I received damaged goods from them, they issued me a pro-rated credit. Unexpected things can happen.
