CHANGES TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS

From time to time we might need to change some of our Terms and Conditions, with or without notice to you. The Terms and Conditions applicable to your access to and use of this Website and your use or purchase of our products or services will be the version that is current and displayed on this Website as at each date you access it or make a purchase from us.

MINIMUM LEGAL AGE

We will only sell alcohol to persons over 18 years of age. By placing an order, you confirm that you and the recipient are at least 18 years old and of legal minimum age for purchasing alcohol in your country of residence.

PAYMENT

We accept payment in Great British Pounds Sterling (£GBP) using most debit and credit cards through our merchant bank. We can process payments either online, by telephone or post. If you prefer, we can accept payment by other means such as cheque. We will only accept payment if we are able to supply your products.

We will send you an order confirmation that indicates we have received your order, though this does not form a contract between us.

When we send you an invoice to indicate acceptance of your order, a contract is formed between us. This process helps protect against mistakes made in pricing or where we are unable to supply a product for some reason. We will always contact you to agree any changes and will immediately make any refunds if we are unable to fulfill an order.

SECURITY

We take security of information extremely seriously. When making payments all information is entered onto a secure server that uses SSL. This means the data is encrypted before it is sent securely across the Internet.

We do not keep credit or debit card numbers; these are entered solely onto the secure server of our banking supplier, one of the leading names in online payments worldwide.

If you have any questions about any aspect of site security please contact us at:

PRIVACY POLICY

We take security of information extremely seriously and comply with GDPR data protection laws within the UK and we are also registered with the information commissioner’s office (the ICO). The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) upholds information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.

 

When making payments all information is entered onto a secure server that uses SSL. This means the data is encrypted before it is sent securely across the Internet.

We do not keep credit or debit card numbers and do not write them down when taking telephone orders; these are entered solely onto the secure server of our banking supplier, one of the leading names in online payments worldwide.

If you have any questions about any aspect of site security please contact us.


ORDERS FROM OUTSIDE THE UK

We are currently only able to supply UK customers but hope to offer our products and services outside the UK in the future. Please contact us if this is of interest to you.

NON-DELIVERY, RETURNS & CANCELLATION

We want you to enjoy your whisky from us, but if you do decide to cancel an order or return some products you can do so in line with distance selling consumer laws. Claims for non-delivery must be made within three months of your order date. Any returned products must be returned to us as new, with all packaging intact and with unbroken seals. The cost and arrangement of returning the product is your responsibility. In some cases, at our sole discretion, we may not accept your order and provide a full refund for any money paid to us.

Whilst we aim to always provide the whiskies that we show we may have to occasionally substitute one or more whiskies in a set.

Where we have to substitute a product we will always replace a whisky with one of equal or higher value and will not charge any extra for doing so.

If you are a business user, please note that in particular, we will not be liable for:
