5 · Customs duties, import taxes, and local charges

For deliveries to EU destinations and the United Kingdom, unless otherwise stated at checkout or on the Website, the shipping charges shown are intended, at the time of purchase, to include applicable customs duties, excise duties, import charges, clearance fees, taxes, and other charges ordinarily associated with importation and delivery. 

For deliveries to the United States, customs duties, import taxes, clearance fees, and any other local charges are not included unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website.

We reserve the right to amend shipping charges, delivery conditions, and the allocation of customs duties, taxes, clearance fees, and other import-related charges at any time where this becomes necessary or appropriate due to changes in local laws, regulations, customs practices, carrier requirements, import restrictions, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. The terms and charges applicable to a specific order will in all cases be those presented on the Website and/or at checkout at the time the order is placed. Customers are responsible for checking any import restrictions or local requirements applicable in the destination country before placing an order.

6 · Delivery address and failed delivery

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

If an incorrect, incomplete, or inaccessible delivery address is provided, or if the recipient is unavailable and the package cannot be delivered, additional costs for storage, redelivery, return, or reshipment may be charged to the customer where permitted by applicable law.

We are not responsible for delays or non-delivery caused by inaccurate address details supplied by the customer.

7 · Transfer of risk

If the customer is a consumer, the risk of loss of or damage to the goods passes to the customer only when the customer, or a third party designated by the customer and other than the carrier, physically takes possession of the goods.

If the customer independently appoints a carrier not offered by us, the risk may pass to the customer at the time the goods are handed over to that carrier, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8 · Delivery issues and damaged parcels

Customers should inspect the package upon delivery and notify us as soon as possible if:

• the parcel appears damaged

• items are missing

• the wrong products were delivered

• the package has been tampered with

Customers should, where reasonably possible, retain the packaging materials and provide photographs and any relevant delivery information in order to help us assess the issue.

9 · Delays and force majeure

We are not liable for delays or failure to deliver caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to carrier disruption, strikes, customs delays, extreme weather, natural events, war, civil unrest, epidemic or pandemic events, governmental measures, or supply chain interruption.

Where such events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to inform customers and to minimize disruption.

10 · Age-restricted products

Alcoholic beverages may be purchased only by persons who are at least 18 years old, or who have reached any higher minimum legal age required under the laws applicable in the destination country. 

By placing an order, the customer confirms that both the purchaser and the intended recipient meet the applicable legal age requirement. We reserve the right to perform age verification before accepting an order, before dispatch, and/or at delivery, including through the carrier where available. If age verification cannot be completed successfully, if the purchaser or recipient is under the applicable legal age, or if delivery would otherwise be unlawful, we may refuse, cancel, suspend, or not complete the order or delivery, in accordance with applicable law. 

11 · Restricted destinations and product limitations

Some products may not be available for shipment to certain countries or regions due to legal, regulatory, carrier, or commercial restrictions, including restrictions applicable to alcoholic beverages.

We reserve the right to cancel an order and issue a refund if we are unable to lawfully or practically ship the ordered products to the selected destination.

12 · Split shipments

Where necessary, an order may be delivered in multiple shipments. Unless otherwise stated, additional shipping charges will not be applied for split shipments caused by our logistics requirements.

13 · Tracking

Where tracking is available, customers may receive a shipping confirmation email containing tracking details after dispatch.

Tracking availability may vary depending on the carrier or destination.
