Description and price of goods

We have taken care to describe and show items as accurately as possible. Despite this, slight variations in items may occur. We provide you with product information on https://www.vipbottles.co.uk. If there is anything which you do not understand, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact our customer services team on 0116 365 0345.

Product images are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer’s display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

We make every effort to ensure that the pricing displayed on our website is correct. However, if an error in the pricing of a product is found we reserve the right to either cancel your order or contact you to arrange payment of any extra sum due or refund any over-payment made by you (as applicable). We reserve the right to alter all product pricing without notice.

All prices include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates. We reserve the right to express the price exclusive of VAT, but we shall show VAT separately and include it in the total price.

Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this website.

Placing an order

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process, you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered.

The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).

Any order placed by you for goods advertised on our website is an offer by you to purchase the goods selected in your order. No contract exists between you and us for the sale of any goods until we have received your order and accepted it (which we may do at our discretion). Our acceptance of an order takes place when we despatch the order or send you confirmation by email even if your payment has been processed immediately.

We may refuse at our discretion to accept an order:
(a) where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
(b) if there has been a pricing or product description error; or
(c) if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.
(d) where goods ordered by you are not available;
(e) if we do not deliver to your area;

Where we do not accept your order but have processed your payment, we will re-credit your account with any amount deducted by us from your debit or credit card as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to pay any additional amount as compensation for disappointment.

You must observe and comply with all applicable regulations and legislation, including obtaining all necessary customs, import or other permits to purchase goods from our site. The importation or exportation of certain goods to you may be prohibited by certain national laws. We make no representation and accept no liability in respect of the export or import of the goods you purchase.

Payment

Payment can be made by any of the options advertised on our website. Payment shall be due before delivery. If payment fails your order will be cancelled. There will be no delivery until clear funds have been received.

Payment online: Our secure server software encrypts all your payment card details. The process scrambles all the information, allowing no unauthorised third party to intercept the data. Your browser will confirm that you are shopping in a secure environment by showing either a locked padlock icon or an image of a padlock next to the payment details in the relevant area of the website.

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third-party databases.

By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. During security checks, we may ask for additional information or documentation to help support the data you supplied.

Please be aware that if you are using PayPal as your payment method we reserve the right to not ship to unconfirmed addresses.

Consumer right of return and refund

This clause only applies if you are a consumer.

If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract during the period set out below. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

  • any made-to-measure or custom-made products or products made to your specification or clearly personalised;
  • bottles which have a security seal that you have opened or unsealed.

Right to cancel 

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods or the last good or the last lot or piece (as the case may be).

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post W3 Winchester Avenue, Leicester, LE8 4GZ or e-mail to [email protected]).

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Effects of cancellation 

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than-

(a) 7 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
(b) (if earlier) 7 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
(c) if there were no goods supplied, 7 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

If the consumer has received goods in connection with the contract you shall send back the goods or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.

You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. We strongly recommend using insured postage to the value of the goods as no refunds will be issued on goods that arrive damaged. Alternatively, we can collect the parcel from you for a fee of £10.00.

Free Delivery services are subject to a £10 return fee that will be deducted from the final refund if a delivery is refused.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Your right of cancellation – FOR BUSINESSES (B2B) ONLY

If you are not a consumer, then you have no right of cancellation, refund or return once we have accepted your offer to buy the goods or service, unless, under the law of contract, you have a legal right to cancel and you are cancelling it for that expressed reason.

Delivery

We will deliver goods ordered by you as soon as possible to the address you give us for delivery, but in any event within 7 days of your order. However, we reserve the right not to make deliveries outside the United Kingdom unless our ordering form provides that facility. Dependent on your shipping method, our delivery partners Parcelforce and Royal Mail will deliver your parcel.

At this point in time, we currently ship within the United Kingdom, excluding Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey and do not offer international shipping. Orders placed from Inverness, Highlands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands among others may incur additional delivery charges.

If the person receiving the order is unable to produce appropriate ID to confirm them to be older than 18 years of age or older then, unfortunately, our couriers will be unable to leave the products. Costs to redeliver the order and consequences thereof shall be of the person making the order.

Upon receipt of your order, you will be asked to sign for the goods received in good condition. If the package does not appear to be in good condition then please refuse the delivery. If you are unable to check the contents of your delivery at the point of delivery then please sign for the parcel as “UNCHECKED”. Failure to do so may affect any warranty claims that you make thereafter.

If the goods we deliver are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity, we shall have no liability to you unless you notify us in writing, at our contact address, of the problem within 14 working days of the delivery of the goods in question. As such all lost parcel inquiries must be notified within this time period and a denial of receipt form sent within the 14 days in order for us to process this as a lost item with our couriers.

We shall deliver the goods to you within 7 days (‘the long delivery date”) of the date on which you ordered them. If we do not so deliver the goods by the delivery date then the sale is cancelled, and we shall return all monies paid by you to us under the contract of sale but, notwithstanding, shall have no liability to you for the return of monies or otherwise unless you notify us in writing at our contact address of the non-delivery within 14 days from the long delivery date.

Where specific courier instructions are given e.g. leave in porch, leave with neighbour etc, we will not be held responsible or liable for goods not being received where our couriers or other couriers have a POD (proof of delivery) or inform us that the ‘goods were left as instructed’. You are therefore obliged to ensure that any specific courier instructions given are correct and that the information provided ensures a safe and accurate delivery. Where the customer has instructed the courier to leave the parcel in a location other than the shipping address, all liability will be passed onto the customer regarding age verification and acceptance of the order by someone over the age of 18.

With any ‘signature optional’ delivery your rights to claim damage, missing items and non-delivery are waived.

If our courier attempts delivery at the delivery address as specified in the order but is unable to deliver the item to the specified address, the courier will retain the item/s and will leave a calling card with a Customer Services telephone number for you to call in order to arrange re-delivery. Please note that the courier company can only arrange a specific re-delivery date, and cannot arrange a specific re-delivery time.

Please make sure you are available to take delivery of your order at the delivery address as your goods are sent on a “signed for” service. If you are not available at the address to receive the delivery, a Courier Card will be left directing you to your nearest Courier Depot where you may collect your goods.

Our free delivery option only applies to orders up to a certain weight, if the weight of the order surpasses this threshold then a delivery charge will be incurred.

Business Purchases: If you fail to take delivery of the Products and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to us, we may:
(a) store the Products until actual delivery and charge you the reasonable costs (including, without limitation, insurance) of storage;
(b)sell the Products at the best readily obtainable price and either:– (i) where you have not already paid for the Products, account to you (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) for any excess over the price you agreed to pay for the Products or charge you for any shortfall below the price you agreed to pay for the Products; OR (ii) where you have already paid for the Products, account to you (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) for any proceeds received.
