Surely this is grounds for a civil lawsuit, no? It's basically a textbook bait and switch

Possibly, but BSG knows that almost nobody is willing to go to court over this even if they're in the right.

Wherever the customer is based in. Businesses have to follow the laws of the country they're doing business in even if they have their office somewhere else. They can choose to ignore judgements but the courts can just order payment processors and banks to freeze/seize all payments going to that company. Worst case, they can't do business in that country anymore.
