Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the www.thewineseller.co.uk website and every order placed with The Wine Seller.

We’re passionate about our customers and making sure that you’re happy and so the following sets out the terms and conditions that apply to your order in what we hope is a straight-forward and customer-friendly way.

OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
When you place an order, you are offering to buy the product(s) from us, and we will send you an order acknowledgement. However, your order will only be accepted by us once your product(s) have been delivered to you. Until then we can decline to supply the goods – we will try to ensure that this never happens but we do, however, reserve the right not to fulfil your order for any reason if, for example; we have made an error on the price, the manufacturer cannot fulfil or similar or we are transitioning stock or simply can no longer obtain the product you need. In the event of these circumstances, we will refund you any price you’ve paid to us. Please note that we reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason and we won’t be liable to you or anyone else in these circumstances.

AVAILABILITY
We complete lots of deliveries a week, and so we have to rely on both a computer system and manual procedures for our stock control. Computers are better than people at this stuff but occasionally things can go wrong. If we get this wrong, we will tell you as soon as we know, and we will try to sort it out for you as quickly as possible via a refund, substitute or extended delivery (with your agreement).

OUR PRODUCTS
The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours and the latest packaging accurately, but we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. On rare occasions your product may vary slightly from the images on our website as manufacturers and our supply chain do have a habit of refreshing their packaging periodically and so the packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website. The image may also show only a particular size, and so be careful to choose the correct size if there are any variants or options available. The parameters of each product’s specification are clearly shown on the website and may periodically be reviewed and amended by us to reflect the latest updated product / packaging by our suppliers. Although we diligently to to keep our website and product specifications up to date to reflect the product accurately (including the Vintage and ABV content) on rare occasions these may change and we cannot 100% guarantee that the item you receive is precisely as described.
