You may not alter, edit, modify, broadcast, sublicense, transfer, sell or otherwise exploit Free Digital Content without our prior written agreement.

Accepting orders for paid products

All Orders submitted by you for Paid Products are subject to acceptance by us. We may choose not to accept your Order for any reason without liability to you. If we accept your Order we will send you an Order Confirmation and only at that point (whether or not funds have been deducted from your account) will a contract in respect of the relevant Products exist between us (the “Contract”).

If we do not accept your Order and funds have already been deducted, these will be fully refunded.

All Orders and for Paid Products must be submitted electronically to our Website and paid for online as explained below.

As an exception to this, government bodies, including NHS entities and local councils, may be offered the opportunity to place Orders for Paid Products [by phone or correspondence] and pay on an invoice basis using BACS or cheque, in which these Terms of Supply shall apply to those Orders – in these circumstances, we cannot control or guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of Products advertised or offered to you by these third party suppliers. Responsibility for any Product issues rest with those suppliers. 

In all cases Paid Products will not be dispatched until the Price has been received in cleared funds by Drinkaware.

To place an Order to purchase a Paid Product from Drinkaware, you will be required to follow the shopping process online and press the "Authorise payment" button to submit the Order. When you place an Order, we will send you an “Acknowledgement of Receipt” containing the details of your Order. Please note that this does not mean we have accepted your Order. Your Order represents an offer to us to purchase a Product which is accepted by us when we send an Order Confirmation (which is when we despatch your Order to you). That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Order Confirmation to you.

Any Products on the same Order which we have not confirmed in an Order Confirmation to have been despatched do not form part of that Contract. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your Order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.

These Terms of Supply apply to all sales of the Products by us to you and shall apply in place of and prevail over any terms or conditions contained or referred to in your Order or in correspondence or elsewhere or implied by trade, custom or practice. No variation of these Terms of Supply shall be binding upon us unless made in writing.

Product Information

Images of the Products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and a Product might vary in colour and finish (for example, your computer or mobile device's display of the colours of a Product may not accurately reflect the true colour or nature of the Product).

Postage and Packaging

The cost of postage and packaging for all Products shall be paid for by you.

Refusal of an order

We reserve the right to withdraw any Products from this Website at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on this Website. Whilst we will use our reasonable endeavours to fulfil Orders submitted to us, there may be exceptional circumstances which mean that we may need to refuse to process or accept an Order after we have received it or sent you an Acknowledgement of Receipt, which we reserve the right to do at any time, at our sole discretion.

We may not be able to accept the Order as a result of one of the following:

• The Product is out of stock
• We are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment
• There is an error on pricing or Product description.

We will not be liable to you or any other third party by reason of our withdrawing any Product from this website, removing or editing any Materials on this Website or for refusing to process or accept an Order after we have received it.

Orders will be sent to the delivery address that you have given on your order form. We only deliver to mainland United Kingdom (excluding the Channel Islands).  We cannot be held responsible if that delivery address is incorrect or incomplete. Please note that we do not deliver to PO boxes. All delivery charges will be set out on the Product page at checkout.

Title in the physical Paid Products will pass to you on the later of:

(a)   the date on which we receive payment in full for such Products; or

(b)   the date of delivery of such Products to your nominated address.

We shall be entitled to (a) deliver the Products in instalments and each instalment shall be deemed to constitute a separate Contract and (b) supply only part of an Order.

If we have not delivered the Products covered by that Order Confirmation within 30 days of sending you the Order Confirmation, you may cancel the Contract and we will refund money received in respect of the Contract from you.

Should Drinkaware a) not receive delivery instructions or b) be unable through no fault of Drinkaware to effect delivery within 14 days after notification to you that items are ready for despatch, you will take delivery or arrange for storage. Should you fail to take delivery or arrange for storage, we shall be entitled to arrange storage on your behalf and all charges for storage, for insurance or for demurrage shall be payable by you.

Delivery dates are approximate only and are not guaranteed. They are not an essential term of the Contract. Drinkaware shall have no liability in respect of delays in delivery which are beyond our reasonable control including bad weather.  If for any reason we are unable to supply a particular Product, we will notify you as soon as possible.

Terms of payment

The prices of Paid Products shall be as set out on our Website as varied from time to time. All prices are shown inclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated.

Prices do not include postage and packaging costs (which may vary from time to time) but these will be calculated automatically and displayed clearly before you are given the option of pressing “Authorise payment” to submit your Order. Any personal data you provide to us is held and processed in accordance our Privacy Policy.

For more information on delivery charges please refer to our FAQ on Delivery Charges.  Please note that we accept payment in British pounds sterling only.

You agree to indemnify Drinkaware for any breach of these App Terms. Drinkaware reserves the right to control the defence and settlement of any third party claim for which you indemnify Drinkaware under these App Terms and you will assist us in exercising such rights.

No Promises

Drinkaware provides the App on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis without any promises or representations, express or implied. In particular, although, we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the App and the service, Drinkaware does not warrant, guarantee or make any representation regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability or availability of the App or its content. All calorie, alcohol unit, ABV or other drinks related information is based on information provided by alcohol producers and retailers and such data, and other content on the App, may be out of date and Drinkaware makes no commitment to update it.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Drinkaware hereby excludes all promises, whether express or implied, including any promises that the App is fit for purpose, of satisfactory quality, non-infringing, is free of defects, is able to operate on an uninterrupted basis, that the use of the App by you is in compliance with laws or that any information that you transmit in connection with this App will be successfully, accurately or securely transmitted.

Reliance on Information

The App is intended to provide general information only and, as such, should not be considered as a substitute for advice covering any specific situation. You should seek appropriate advice before taking or refraining from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in the App. The App is in no way to be a replacement for professional medical advice.

Exclusion of Drinkaware’s Liability

Nothing in these App Terms shall exclude or in any way limit Drinkaware’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or for fraud or any other liability to the extent the same may not be excluded or limited as a matter of law.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, in no event shall Drinkaware be liable to you with respect to use of the App and/or be liable to you for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, lost profits, or loss, theft or corruption of your information, the inability to use the App, Device failure or malfunction.

Drinkaware shall not be liable even if it has been advised of the possibility of such damages, including without limitation damages caused by error, omission, interruption, defect, failure of performance, unauthorised use, delay in operation or transmission, line failure, computer virus, worm, Trojan horse or other harm. 

If our provision of the services or support for the App or the services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. We will not be liable for events outside our control.

In the event that applicable law does not allow the exclusion of certain promises and/or the exclusion of liability for direct, indirect, consequential or other damages, in no event shall Drinkaware’s liability arising under or in connection with these App Terms and your use of the App exceed £50.

Links

The App or any service may contain links to other independent websites which are not provided by us. Such independent sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their privacy policies (if any).

You will need to make your own independent judgement about whether to use any such independent sites, including whether to buy any products or services offered by them.

General

These App Terms shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any dispute between them arising under or in connection with these App Terms.

If any provision (or part of a provision) of these App Terms is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
