Terms & Conditions

OF Sale

These are the terms applying to all sales.

Prices

Unless the contrary is shown, prices on this site are:

  • Per case or per bottle (bt) as indicated
  • Exclusive of delivery charges
  • Provisional and subject to our confirmation, upon acceptance of order

Payment

Payment is due on invoice, and may be made by bank transfer, HK Dollar cash or cheque (allow 3 working days for cheques to clear) or Paypal and credit cards (there is a 4% surcharge on Paypal and credit card payments). Overdue sums carry interest from the date when payment becomes due at 10% per annum. Until all sums due to us have been paid we shall be entitled to retain possession of any goods to which you would otherwise be entitled. If any payment is overdue we shall be entitled to suspend deliveries/collections.

Title and Risk

We shall retain title to all goods (other than goods in your direct physical possession following delivery or collection and payment in full for those goods) sold by us until all the sums due from you in respect of any order have been paid. Risk in all goods shall pass to you as soon as we notify you that they are available and earmarked under your order. If goods within our ownership are held by any third party on your behalf you will upon our request instruct that third party to hold the goods to our order.

Delivery

Any indication as to when whiskies will be available for delivery or collection is an estimate only and is not intended to be binding. We will notify you once whiskies are available and you must give at least 48 hours´ notice before collection. Domestic transport may be arranged by us as your agent at the rates of charge indicated. Our current storage charge will apply for all goods which have not been collected/delivered within three months of being available.

Acceptance

You undertake to inspect all goods when collecting or immediately on delivery and to notify ourselves or the carrier forthwith of any shortage or damage or other deficiency. You will be deemed to have accepted the goods as satisfying your order three days after collection/delivery, and thereafter will not be entitled to reject wines for any reason.

Default

If any payment is overdue for 14 days or the goods have not been collected within three months of being available, or there is an earlier indication from you that payment will not be made or the goods will not be collected, we shall be entitled to send written notice to the invoice address of our intention to deal with, sell or otherwise dispose of the goods and 7 days thereafter we shall be at liberty to do so unless payment in full is received or the goods are collected before the close of business on the seventh day. Any method of resale is entirely at our discretion.

Upon resale you will receive a credit of 80% of the lower of the net proceeds of the resale and the price of our original sale to you. Any balance after the credit shall remain payable by you and shall continue to carry interest.

The existence of this right does not effect any other remedies we would have.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure to meet our obligations occasioned by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Description/Quality

We undertake the proper safekeeping and storage of whiskies in our possession and will act in good faith when purchasing whiskies, but we will not be responsible for the state and condition of whiskies or whether the whisky corresponds to the qualities which might be expected from its description. At our complete discretion, we will consider replacing the remainder of any case sold which is not drinkable.

Orders

The placing and accepting of oral orders shall form a contract on these terms, conditional upon our written confirmation of order which may be by the delivery of an invoice.

Law

All our contracts are made under the Basic Law and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong SAR Courts.
