How We Will Accept Your Order

Our acceptance of your order will occur when we email you to confirm it, at which point a contract will be established between you and WhiskyQuest Ltd. If we are unable to accept your order, we will notify you and will not charge you for the product. This may happen if the product is out of stock, if there are unexpected limits on our resources that we could not reasonably plan for, if we identify an error in the price or description of the product, or if we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

We will assign an order number to your order and communicate it to you when we accept your order. Please reference this order number whenever you contact us about your order.

We reserve the right to refuse service or cancel an order from anyone for any reason at any time.

Prices

The price of the product (which includes UK VAT, where applicable) 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 provided to you is correct. However, please refer to section see below for what happens if there is a mistake.

Buyers outside the UK should be aware of local customs and duties laws in their respective shipping countries prior to purchasing goods on this website. It is the buyer's responsibility to adhere to such laws and to settle any duties and/or VAT payable upon arrival at the shipping country border.

Despite our best efforts, it is always possible that some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, if 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.

Our Products & Services

All products available through WhiskyQuest Ltd are sold exclusively online through our website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our returns policy in section.

While we strive to display the colours and images of our products as accurately as possible, we cannot guarantee that your device will accurately reflect the true colour of any product.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We also reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer.

Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

Not all items for sale at WhiskyQuest Ltd are new; some may have been purchased at auction. Product images on the website are intended for illustrative purposes only and may not be exact representations of the item in stock, particularly for antique and/or discontinued products, which may not be in perfect condition. We will inform you if this is the case before you make a purchase.

Delivery & Collection

The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

During the order process, we will inform you when we provide the products to you. We aim to deliver the products to you as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, within 30 days after the date on which we accept your order. However, this timeframe may be longer if you are located outside the UK. Please refer to our Shipping page for more information.

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event. If there is a risk of substantial delay, you may contact us using the process set out in section 7 to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

If you have asked to collect the products from our premises, you can collect them from us at any time during our working hours of 10am-5pm on weekdays (excluding public holidays). Please note that alcohol cannot be collected before 10am due to licensing laws.

If you do not collect the products from us within 14 days 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 cancel your order. In such circumstances, we will refund the cost of your order excluding any delivery costs.

A product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you provided, or you collect it from us. You own a product once we have received payment in full.

Exercising your right to change your mind. If you are a consumer, then you have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 days of receipt of products and receive a refund. If you wish to exercise this right, then you should follow the guidelines in cancellations section. You do not have a right to change your mind once products have been unsealed or used by you or are made to your specifications or clearly personalised, except if they are faulty.

Ending the contract because the products are faulty. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that any product ordered from WhiskyQuest Ltd must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If an item is delivered in a faulty or damaged condition, then your legal rights entitle you to the following:

  1. Up to 30 days (starting from the day after the date on which you receive the product): to return the product(s) to us and receive a refund.
  2. Up to six months: if the product cannot be repaired or replaced, then in most circumstances to receive a refund.
  3. Up to six years: if the product does not last a reasonable length of time, then you may be entitled to some money back.

How we will refund you. We will refund you by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

Refunds if you have changed your mind. We will refund you within 14 days of our receipt of the products you are returning. Our refund will comprise 2 components – 1 part for the cost of the bottle(s) purchased (“Cost Refund”) and 1 part for the standard shipping cost (“Postage Refund”). We will reduce the refund value of the Cost Refund, potentially to zero, to reflect any reduction in value to the product(s) caused by damage and/or deterioration arising from poor customer handling and/or caused by courier damage on the return to us.

Refunds if we are at fault. If you are ending the contract because of something we have done wrong or if the products are faulty, then we will pay the cost of return.
