Terms of Supply
Orders for products
Our Shop offers an online ordering facility for educational and marketing materials, including leaflets, fact sheets, posters, videos, scratchcards, plastic goods and downloadable assets ("Products"). Products are made available to registered users either as:
(a) free-to-access downloadable digital content (“Free Digital Content”);
(b) Products for which payment is required (“Paid Products”) which are made available for the price indicated on the Website (the “Price”).
You agree that the supply and sale of all Products is subject to these Terms and Conditions, provided that, if we amend these Terms and Conditions after you submit an order for Paid Products (an “Order”), the Terms of Supply in force on the date you submit your Order will apply to your Order, unless any change is required to be made by law or governmental authority, or we notify you of any changes before we send you an email confirming acceptance of your Order (the “Order Confirmation”).

Free digital content
Free Digital Content is licensed to you on the basis that you may use and reproduce it (eg by printing hard copies or reproducing it on your own website) solely for educational and non-commercial purposes in its current format. 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.
Delivery risk and title
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.
We will provide you with, and endeavour to meet, the estimated delivery date stated in your Order Confirmation.
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.
We accept payment by credit or debit card, and by PayPal. You confirm that the credit/debit card or PayPal account that is being used is yours. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your Order and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal. We are not responsible for PayPal, your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of our processing of your payment in accordance with your Order.
