4. Our Products

• Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only.  Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display will accurately reflect the appearance of the product. Your product may vary slightly from those images.

• Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.  Whether a product will be delivered complete with a box or any other product-specific outer packaging will depend upon a number of factors.  Even a product which is pictured on our website with product-specific outer packaging may not be available with that packaging, as our suppliers do not always include product-specific outer packaging when delivering a product to us, and because the specifications of a product may change from time to time (in relation to which, see paragraph 5 below).  If you want to receive product-specific outer packaging together with any product which you order, please contact us before you place your order so that we can check whether that product is available with product-specific outer packaging.

• Tasting notes. The tasting notes on our website are written by our own tasting team.  However, different people will have a different experience of the same product as tasting is a subjective process.  The tasting notes do not form part of the description of any product.

• Measurements. All sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a small tolerance.  The size of this tolerance is set by reference to applicable legislation (including Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011, Directive 76/211/EEC and The Weights and Measures (Packaged Goods) Regulations 2006) and varies from product to product and from one size, weight, capacity, dimension or measurement to the next.

• Changes to products. We may change a product from time to time to reflect changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements or in order to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.  We do not anticipate that these changes will materially affect your use or enjoyment of the product.

• Product prices. Prices indicated for our products can and will change from time to time. Also, prices online may not match pricing in our stores for various reasons. For example, items may be promoted exclusively online, or our stores may place individual items on promotion to clear stock. See section 9 below for further conditions on price and payment.

​

5. Our Contract with you

​

• How we will accept your order. When you place an order with us by email, or post, we will send you an email to acknowledge the order.  Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it and confirm that the relevant product has been dispatched to the address provided by you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. We do not accept telephone orders of any sort.

• If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order for any reason, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product.

• Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order.  It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

• Products available for “pre-order”. If you order a product which we intimate as being available for “pre-order” or any similar expression or concept, we will seek to secure that product and dispatch it to you on or before any indicated expected date of dispatch.  The actual availability of any such product and/or its date of dispatch is not guaranteed.  See paragraph 5.8  below for our responsibilities when this happens.

• Payment for “pre-order products”. We will take payment for the product as soon as you place an order, but we will not pay you any interest in respect of the period between the date on which you place an order and the date on which we confirm our acceptance of your order.  We will confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the products which you have ordered have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation).  The contract between us will only be formed when we email you the Dispatch Confirmation.  Please note that any message which you may receive from any carrier or courier which confirms the delivery of a parcel into its system (or any similar message) is not the Dispatch Confirmation.

• Cancellation of “pre-order products”. If you order a product which is highlighted as being available for “pre-order” or any similar expression or concept:

  • you may cancel that order at any time before you receive a Dispatch Confirmation. If you choose to cancel your order, we will refund you the full amount (including any delivery costs charged) promptly;

  • If we subsequently discover that we are unable to supply you with that product for any reason, we will not send you a Dispatch Confirmation but will advise you of its non-availability and refund the amount paid by you promptly.

• Other products.

  • If you order a product which is not highlighted as being available for “pre-order” or any similar expression or concept, we will confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the products which you have ordered have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation).  The contract between us will only be formed when we email you the Dispatch Confirmation.  Please note that any message which you may receive from any carrier or courier which confirms the delivery of a parcel into its system (or any similar message) is not the Dispatch Confirmation.

​

• • If we are unable to supply you with a product for any reason, we will not send you a Dispatch Confirmation but will inform you promptly and will not process your order. If you have already paid for the product which you have ordered, we will refund you the full amount (including any delivery costs charged) promptly.

​

• • If we enter into any communication with you in relation to any product that we consider may be available for purchase we are not committed or bound to supply or procure any such product or until we have received full payment from you and issued a Dispatch Confirmation in respect thereof.

​

• • ​​​If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered before a Dispatch Confirmation is issued, please contact us as soon as possible.  We will let you know if the change is possible.  If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

​

6. Your right to make change

​

• If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered before a Dispatch Confirmation is issued, please contact us as soon as possible.  We will let you know if the change is possible.  If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

​

​

7. Providing the products

​

• Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website and during the check-out process.

• When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you.  If the products are ongoing subscriptions, we will also tell you during the order process when and how you can end the contract.

• We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.  Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

• Collection by you. If you have asked to collect the products from one of our shops, you can collect them from us at any time during our shop opening hours as displayed on our web site from time to time. For click and collect there is a lead time of up to 4 working days.

• If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and you give us no other instructions at the time of placing your order, our carriers will usually:

  • leave your parcel in a safe place;

  • leave your parcel with a neighbour; or

  • leave you a note which informs you that they have attempted to deliver the product (if this happens, please contact the carrier and re-arrange delivery). If you have any specific delivery instructions, you should give them when you place your order for a product.

​

• If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the product(s) from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs.  If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and seek compensation from you for the costs we have incurred.  We may deduct that compensation from the bank account which you used to pay for the product(s).  We may make that deduction from that bank account in more than one payment.

• When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address in the UK you gave us or you or someone else on your behalf collects it from us.  For international deliveries, see clause 8.5.

• When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full for the product and all applicable delivery charges, value added taxes, import duties, administration charges and taxes which are payable by us.

• Delivery deadline. If we agree a delivery deadline with you in respect of any product and we miss that deadline, then you may cancel your order if either of the following apply:

  • we have refused to deliver the product; or

  • you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential, and your cancellation of the order must be communicated to us without delay. We may reject an order if you set a delivery deadline which we will not be able to meet.

​

• • If you do not wish to cancel your order immediately, or do not have the right to do so under paragraph 9, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

  • If you have the right to cancel your order for late delivery under paragraphs 9 or 7.10 above, you can do so for just one product or, if you have ordered more than one product, all of the products which are the subject of your order. If the product has been delivered to you, you will have to return it to us, and we will pay the costs of this.  Please refer to paragraph 10 for more information about how to return a product to us.

​

8. Price and Payment

​

• Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.  However please see paragraph 4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

• We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

• Delivery charges. The price of a product does not include delivery charges.  Delivery charges are explained during the check-out process.

• What happens if we have got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount.  If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.  If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you have provided during the ordering process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

• When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with the credit and debit cards listed on our check-out page.  We also take payment by inter-bank transfer and we reserve the right to insist on inter-bank transfer for products or orders of a value of more than £250, or such other amount as we may stipulate from time to time.  Payment will be taken when a product is dispatched or for “pre-order” products when an order is placed.

• Validation. To help to ensure that your credit or debit card is not being used without your consent, we may validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases.  By accepting these Terms you consent to such checks being made.  In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered credit reference agency (which may keep a record of that information).  This is done only to confirm your identity.  A credit check is not performed and your credit rating will be unaffected.  All information provided by you will be treated securely and in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.

• Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
