Isn't that usually the case for the seller as well, i.e. obvious pricing errors allow the seller to void the contract?

As far as I know in Switzerland this is symmetrical and an error on one party's side that is considered to be "obvious" to the other party makes it possible for the disadvantaged party to void the contract.

Not sure about other countries.
