These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of goods by us and will form the basis of the contract between us and you. Before placing your order, please ensure that you have read our Terms and Conditions carefully. If you are unsure about any part of these Terms and Conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Nothing provided by us, including but not limited to, sales and marketing literature, price lists, and any other documents constitute a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order constitutes a contractual offer that we may, at our discretion, accept.

A legally binding contract between us and you will be created upon our acceptance of your order, indicated by our order confirmation. Order confirmations will be provided in writing, usually via email.

We shall ensure that the following information is given/made available to you prior to the commencement of the contract between us and you:

• The main characteristics of the goods are outlined;
• Our identity and contact details are provided;
• The total price for the goods is explained, including taxes, or, if the nature of the goods is such that the price cannot be calculated in advance, the manner in which it will be calculated is explained;

Goods, Pricing and Availability

While every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that all visual representations and descriptions of goods for sale from us correspond to the actual goods you receive, we cannot be held responsible for variations from such descriptions. This does not exclude our liability for mistakes due to negligence on our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct goods, not different goods altogether.

You may be required to select the desired quantity of goods that you are purchasing before you reach checkout.

All pricing information on the website is correct at the time of going live. We reserve the right to change prices and alter/remove any special offers at any time. If prices are changed during the period between an order being placed and processing that order and taking payment, the price shall be that displayed during the checkout process prior to payment. All prices on the website include VAT and duty (where applicable). Cask and Bottle Co Limited's VAT number is: 433 6381 00.

Discounts and Offers

Only one discount code/offer can be used at any given time, and minimum order spend will usually apply. Online offers are subject to availability at all times.

Description and Specification of Goods

We have made every effort to ensure that all goods conform to illustrations, photographs, and descriptions provided on our website and in our online sales and marketing literature and descriptions provided by our sales team. We cannot, however, guarantee that all descriptions, illustrations, and/or photographs will be precisely accurate due to discrepancies that may arise during the printing process or differences in the colour reproduction of electronic displays. If you receive any goods that do not conform to your order, you should contact us.

If we discover or are made aware of any typographical, clerical, or other accidental errors or omissions in any sales and marketing literature, price lists, or any other documents, we will make every reasonable effort to correct such errors or omissions as soon as reasonably possible. If, as a result of any such error or omission, you have received the wrong goods, you may return those goods to us by following the guidelines outlined within our terms and conditions. If as a result of any such error or omission, you have paid too much, we will refund the excess paid for the goods. We reserve the right to make any changes in the specification of the goods that may be required to conform to any applicable safety or other legal or regulatory requirements without notice.

Orders and Delivery

No part of this website constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order constitutes a contractual offer that we may, at our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by us sending you an order confirmation email. Only once we have sent you an order confirmation email will there be a binding contract between us (Cask and Bottle Co Limited) and you (the customer).

The confirmation email sent to you regarding the goods ordered will include full details of the characteristics of those goods, itemised pricing including taxes, delivery charges and any other charges where applicable, and estimated delivery dates/times. If, in the event, your order is not accepted for any reason, no payment shall be taken under normal circumstances. Any sums paid by you in relation to that order will be refunded within 14 calendar days. Any risks associated with the goods shall remain with us until they come into your physical possession.

Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods

We aim to always provide high-quality goods that are undamaged and fault-free. We are bound by law to provide goods that are of satisfactory quality and are fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase in accordance with any pre-contract information we have provided, and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined (unless we have made you aware of any differences). If your purchased goods do not comply and, for example, have faults or

If any goods are damaged in transit and the damage is apparent on delivery, you should sign any applicable delivery note to the effect that the goods have arrived as damaged. To return the damaged goods, please contact us within 30 calendar days. You will be given the option to have the goods replaced or to be refunded through the payment method used by you when purchasing the goods. Replacements will be issued if available, and refunds will be issued no later than 14 calendar days. We regret that additional costs such as express delivery and gift-wrapping cannot be refunded.

If any purchased goods appear faulty when delivered to you, please contact us within 30 calendar days. The guidelines stated above relating to damage in transit will apply.

If any goods develop faults/become faulty beyond 30 calendar days from delivery but within a specified warranty period (if applicable), you are entitled to a repair or replacement under the terms of that warranty. Cask and Bottle Co Limited is not a party to such warranties, and you must therefore contact the manufacturer of the goods directly.

Returning Goods If You Change Your Mind

If you are a consumer based within the EU and you are not satisfied with any goods purchased from us, you have the right to return them in exchange for a refund or a replacement subject to the provisions of this clause. This clause does not apply to goods that are not in compliance with the contract and your legal rights. This period begins once your order is complete and ends 14 calendar days after the goods have been delivered to you. If the goods are delivered to you in instalments, the 14 calendar day period begins on the day that you receive the final instalment. If you change your mind about the goods within this period, please inform us within 14 calendar days of receipt. You are responsible for paying return shipment costs if goods are returned for this reason. Refunds will be issued on receipt of the returned goods and in any event no later than 14 calendar days after you inform us that you wish to cancel under this provision and will include standard delivery charges. We regret that additional costs such as express delivery and gift-wrapping cannot be refunded. We may not be able to accept returns under the cooling-off period of the following types of goods and/or taking into account the following circumstances:

Goods made to your specifications or that have been personalised;

Goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

Goods which are sealed for health or hygiene reasons that have been unsealed after delivery;

Goods which are, after delivery (according to their nature), inseparably mixed with other items;

Any use/enjoyment that you may have already had out of the goods beyond handling them to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of them (such as you would, for example, handle a display item in a shop). Please note that opening packaging does not prevent you from returning goods (unless they are prone to expire rapidly or are sealed for health/hygiene reasons). This does not include the opening of delivery packaging, only the packaging of the product itself.
