Did you agree to the high/low based on this representation? If so, you should be able to get out of it if you want to. If you did not take (or refrain from taking) any actions as a result of the misrepresentation, you were not harmed, and the court will probably not sanction them unless you can show that it was knowing and willful.
I agree with the previous answer. If you want to get out of the high/low agreement you should be able to do so based upon a mutual mistake of fact. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon.
