Relationship between You, Caskers and Retailer(s)

When you place an order to purchase products using our website, you are not purchasing that product from us. RATHER, YOU ARE PURCHASING PRODUCTS FROM A THIRD PARTY LICENSED TO SELL BEVERAGE ALCOHOL. PLEASE NOTE - WE NEVER TAKE TITLE TO THE PRODUCT.

Marketplace offers

Caskers operates a marketplace where we display products from a network of independent Vendors, retailers, manufacturers and other licensed parties. Each product or service listed is not an offer to purchase such product or service but an invitation to make an offer. You acknowledge and agree that Caskers does not sell, offer to sell, invite to sell, or solicit any offers. IN ALL INSTANCES, ALL SALES ARE ADVERTISED, SOLICITED, OFFERED, ACCEPTED AND MADE BY VENDORS WHO RECEIVE ALL ORDERS. In all instances, any solicitation, invitation, offer, advertisement or communication is void where prohibited by law. TITLE AND OWNERSHIP OF ALL PRODUCTS AND ALL RISK OF LOSS WILL PASS FROM RETAILER TO YOU AT THE STORE OF THE RETAILER, WITHIN THE STATE IN WHICH THE RETAILER IS LICENSED. It is your sole responsibility to ship or arrange for shipping from that retailer within the state or to the state you have chosen. As per your instructions, Caskers or retailer may provide service, and act on behalf of you, to arrange for shipping or transportation of any product. You are responsible to know the law of the state in which you live or to which you wish the goods shipped, and by having us or the retailer arrange shipping on your behalf, you are representing that you are acting in compliance with the laws and regulations of your state, county, and municipality that apply to you and the purchase, shipping, transportation and delivery of products, that you have obtained all required permissions, and are working through properly licensed intermediaries where required. You are responsible to pay any state and local excise taxes and use taxes. DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER, IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

You agree to indemnify us and to hold us harmless against any damages (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any claim that the goods purchased by you cannot be legally sent into the state in which you live by a person who owns such goods and has purchased them for his or her personal consumption or that you have exceed the amount of goods which may be shipped into the state for personal consumption or that any taxes or duties which may be imposed upon such shipment or consumption have not been paid.

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available by a Vendor, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the purchase including, without limitation, your credit card information, your billing address and your shipping information. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right and authority to use any credit card, debit card, gift card, gift certificate or coupon code utilized in connection with any transaction. By submitting such information, you grant to Caskers and to Vendors the right to provide such information to third parties consistent with our Privacy Policy and their privacy policies. If you have any questions regarding a Vendor’s privacy policy, please contact us before purchasing a product.

You understand that Caskers may accept payment from or charge fees to the retail licensee and other parties to transactions in which you are involved as a purchaser. You agree that you have waived any claim of conflict of interest, breach of fiduciary obligation or any other similar claim.

Returns and Refund Policy

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities may not be returnable and—if returnable—may be returned or exchanged in accordance with the Refund Policy and Shipping & Returns.

Please note that when you make a purchase offer, we will forward such an offer to a licensed third party Vendor, who may or not accept such offer. The return policy of that Vendor and the laws of the state (or country) in which that Vendor is licensed, may determine whether the goods may be returned and if so, the applicable return policy.

Products or Services may be limited in availability as to person, geographic region or jurisdiction. You agree that we may exercise the right to limit the products we are willing to purchase or services we are willing to perform on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to discontinue Services in relation to any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this website is void where prohibited. We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations.

For detailed information, please read our annexed documents - Shipping & Returns and Refund Policy.

Our Right to Cancel Orders

We reserve the right to cancel orders at our discretion and at any stage of the order fulfillment process. We will provide a reason and you will be notified of our actions via email within a reasonable period of time, but usually as soon as possible. We'll refund any money received from you to the method of payment originally used unless agreed otherwise (i.e. store credit). We will use this liberty with extreme caution and forethought.

We may cancel orders that we suspect were placed using incorrect information, misuse of store credit and promotion codes, and other forms of fraud. If that is the case with your order, a Customer Care representative may contact you first by email and give you a reasonable amount of time to respond to our concerns. Another reason for us to cancel your order is if a Vendor does not accept your offer, usually because it cannot be fulfilled due to unavailability. Other possible reasons would include pricing and inventory errors (we rely on the diligence of our Vendors to keep the store prices up to date). It does not happen often, but just in case, and for these kinds of cases, we don't take any responsibility for damages caused due to longer fulfillment times or inability to deliver items.

In case we need to cancel your order, the refund will be normally processed immediately but no later than 30 days from cancellation. The funds will be returned to the original payment method.

Prices and payments

Pricing Error and Tax

The price payable for Services will be as quoted on our website, except in cases of obvious ‘doh!' error. If there's an obvious pricing error which could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing then we have the right to cancel any Services in respect of the deal and issue you a refund in respect of the same.

US Sales Tax calculated during the checkout process is an estimation. The final amount of Sales Tax may differ, but the total amount you pay for your order will not be affected (applies to US customers only).

Payment for all Services may be made by credit or debit card. We may sometimes pre-authorise your credit card, debit card and/or other methods of payment when you buy a Membership but will only charge your credit or debit card up to 30 days before your Membership renewal.

Ensuring that any relevant duties or local taxes have been paid remains the sole responsibility of the customer and we will not be liable for any actions undertaken without the appropriate duties having been paid subsequent to the sale.

Prices subject to change

Prices for the Services on the website are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right, at any time, to modify or discontinue the Services (or any part or content thereof) without notice. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

Accuracy of billing information

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase information for all purchases and offers you ask us to place on your behalf. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right and authority to use any credit card, debit card, gift card, gift certificate or coupon code utilized in connection with any transaction. By submitting such information, you grant to Caskers and to Vendors the right to provide such information to third parties consistent with our Privacy Policy and their privacy policies. If you have any questions regarding a Vendor's privacy policy, please contact us before purchasing a product.

Website services

Service access

While we endeavor to ensure that the website is normally available 24 hours a day, we shall not be liable if, for any reason, the website is unavailable at any time or for any period. Access to the website may be suspended temporarily and without notice in the case of system failure, maintenance or repair or for reasons beyond our control. Sorry about that.

Errors, inaccuracies and omissions

Occasionally there may be information on our website or in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders or offers if any information in the Services or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order).

We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the Services or on any related website, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law. No specified update or refresh date applied in the Services or on any related website, should be taken to indicate that all information in the Services or on any related website has been modified or updated.

Privacy and security

You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

Credits, gift certificates and invitations

Credits

There are a number of ways to gain credits. You can spend credits on all non-recurring transactions. Credits expire 365 days after you earn them. Current balance and status of the credits can be reviewed by logging into your Caskers account. The credits and gift certificates will be issued by Caskers and not our Vendors and will carry no cash value and will expire (if they expire) on the date specified. Credits are non-transferrable and may not be reactivated once expired.

Credits and promo codes are only valid if gained and used for the purpose as intended by us. Using them in another way can result in credit removal from your account or any existing offers, canceling an offer, or terminating the user account. If any such action is taken on our part the customer is notified.

Any misuse of Caskers’ referral mechanism is strictly prohibited and can result in actions as described above, and reporting to the authorities. You may not participate in any referral, credit or certificate program if any applicable laws or regulations prohibit doing so.

Gifts

Unredeemed Gift Vouchers expire in 5 years.

Caskers Referral Program

We may offer a credit for new-member referrals (“New Member Credits”). New Member Credits, if any, will be issued by Caskers and not our Vendors. New Member Credits may only be earned after new members (“Recipients”) that have been invited by a current member (“Referrer”) make at least one completed and shipped purchase in the amount of $35 or more within the first 30 days upon receipt of their invitation. The Recipient and the Referrer cannot be the same person, for example, by using a different email address.

New Member Credits carry no cash value and can only be used for purchases on the website. New Member Credits expire one (1) month from the date of issue and are non-transferrable. New Member Credits granted by any other means other than as a result of the initial, completed and shipped purchase by a new member introduced to Caskers for the first time by a referring member are in violation of these Terms. You may not use spam to obtain referral credits, and you agree not to send invitations to join the website to people who are under the age of 21, who do not know you or who are unlikely to recognize you as a known contact.
