On placement of your order WhiskyInvestDirect will send you an email to the email address registered on your account acknowledging your order. However, this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

Pricing

Prices are in British Pounds and are inclusive of VAT, unless stated otherwise. We reserve the right to alter prices from time to time. This will not affect any orders already placed. We are not obliged to fulfil orders which have been priced incorrectly. Further, we give no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information on the website.

All orders are subject to product availability.

Payment

You agree that WhiskyInvestDirect will deduct funds from the cash balance of your WhiskyInvestDirect account as payment for your order and that this sum will be taken at the point of order placement.

If your order is cancelled the appropriate funds will be returned to your WhiskyInvestDirect account.

Delivery

You understand that we cannot deliver to a PO Box or Mail Box address.

You accept responsibility for delayed or failed delivery as a result of:

  • incorrect or incomplete delivery details supplied by you,
  • the inability to deliver to the given address following reasonable effort by our courier.

If a package is returned to WhiskyInvestDirect as a result of a failed delivery we reserve the right to charge your WhiskyInvestDirect account any additional shipping costs for its return and re-delivery.

You confirm that the recipient will be available to sign for the delivery at the given address. However, if an authorised person is not available to sign for delivery at the given address, you accept that our courier may have to complete the delivery by another route.

An order will be considered as delivered when:

  • The order is signed for at the delivery address, or
  • The order is collected from a Local Parcel Shop or Parcel Depot, or
  • Our courier leaves your package in a safe place, or
  • Our courier leaves your package with a neighbour.

If a package appears damaged, is leaking or appears to contain broken glass you agree not to sign for the delivery and instruct the courier to return it.

Order cancellation & returns

You may cancel your order by emailing us at bottleorders@whiskyinvestdirect.com from your registered WhiskyInvestDirect email address, citing your order number, WhiskyInvestDirect username & delivery details.

If you change your mind and wish a refund, you have the legal right to cancel your order until the end of the day 14 days after day on which your order was delivered. (E.g. if you received your order on 1st January, you can cancel until the end of 15th January.)

If an order has already been given to our distributor and you cancel the order, any refund will be dependent on your return of the order to us and upon our receipt of it. You must email WhiskyInvestDirect to cancel the order (details above) and then, within 14 days of notifying cancellation, return the order to Allegro Logistics, Units 23&24, Hither Green Industrial Estate, Clevedon, BS21 6XU.

You are responsible for the cost of any returns. Furthermore, you are responsible for the safe return of your order and accept responsibility for any loss in value resulting from your handling or the actions of your agents.

Upon receipt of your returned order we will reduce (potentially to £0) the value of that part of your refund which relates to the cost of the product (but not the part of the refund which relates to postage and packaging costs), if this has been caused by your handling it in a way that would not be permitted in a shop. For example, bottles must be returned with their seal and contents intact to be eligible for a full refund.

You accept that we will not return any funds until we receive your returned order.

If we refund you and subsequently discover that you have handled the order contents in an unacceptable way or that they have been damaged by you or your courier, you authorise us to deduct an appropriate amount from your WhiskyInvestDirect account.

WhiskyInvestDirect reserve the right to cancel an order and return the original sum taken to your WhiskyInvestDirect account.

No interest will be paid on funds during the period that they were held by WhiskyInvestDirect.

We will make refunds to your WhiskyInvestDirect account in a timely fashion.

This does not affect your statutory rights.
