TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS”) APPLY IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS OR MAKE EVENT OR TOUR BOOKINGS FROM US OR USE OUR WEBSITE (THE “SITE”). THESE TERMS SHOULD BE READ ALONGSIDE, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO, OUR PRIVACY POLICY.
Please read these Terms carefully before using the Site or purchasing products from us and print and keep a copy of them for your reference. We may change the content of the Site from time to time, including the terms of use. By using the Site (by whatever means or device) you agree that you have read, understood and accept these Terms (as amended from time to time). If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not use or access this Site or place an order with us.

Our registered VAT number is GB 275669942.
Terms of Sale
Contract creation
The placing of an order on our Site does not constitute a contract. Order acceptance and the contract between you and us will only be formed on the despatch to you of the product(s) ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions set out in the “Cancellations and Refunds” section below. For the avoidance of doubt, a contract is not formed at the point in time that payment has been taken from you by Glenrinnes Distillery nor at the point when you receive an email from us acknowledging receipt of your order.
Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
The product(s) you ordered being unavailable from stock
Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment
Our inability to verify that you are aged over 18
The identification of a pricing or product description error
Prices
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling, and may be per bottle or per item, as marked. The prices include UK duty and VAT, unless otherwise specified. Any delivery charges are additional, unless otherwise specified.
Although we endeavour to ensure that all pricing information on our Site is accurate, occasionally an error may occur and products may be incorrectly priced. In the event that a product you have ordered is listed at an incorrect price we will contact you by telephone or email before despatching your products asking you to confirm if you still wish to proceed with your order at the correct price or cancel your order. If you do not confirm that you wish to proceed with the order within seven days of the date of our email, we will consider this is a withdrawal of your order.
Where a particular bottle or item is part of a pre-selected set with a general discount applied, the discounted price is relative to the non-discounted prices for the constituent bottles and/or items.
We reserve the right to alter prices without notice in the event of major currency fluctuations, changes in the rate of duty, VAT or other taxes or import tariffs (including but not limited to the imposition of any new or replacement duty or tariff by the WTO or any other competent authority domestic or international) or other market conditions. We also reserve the right to terminate any special offer at any time, without notice.
Availability
All products and services are subject to availability.
Delivery
All deliveries are sent by courier or via Royal Mail. For UK deliveries please allow 3-5 working days from clearance of funds. For international deliveries please contact our office for further information. Delivery charges are calculated by destination.
Unfortunately, due to customs laws relating to posted goods, we cannot deliver to the following countries:
Afghanistan, Angola, Benin, Brazil, Canada, Cape Verde, Cost Rica, Cuba, Guam, Guyana, Iran, Jamaica, Kuwait, Liberia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Nauru, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Northern Mariana Islands, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, St Vincent & The Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Suriname, Syria, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Virgin Islands, Wake Island, Yemen.
Tax and duties
The addressee may be liable for excise fees/customs duty if the value/proportion of alcohol sent exceeds the country limit. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to check this before ordering. Glenrinnes Distillery Limited shall not be liable for any of these fees and will not issue refunds on purchases not delivered due to non-payment of customs fees. All purchases and postage charges within the EU are subject to VAT. Please contact your customs department should you require any further information.
Our deliveries are normally made by third party carriers and may require a signature. If you are out, the delivery driver may be able to leave your order for you in accordance with the instructions that you gave us when you placed your order, for example, in a safe place or to a neighbouring address and if this is not possible, a card will be posted through your letterbox with instructions on how to arrange re-delivery. You should keep your delivery note and all packaging and should notify us immediately if any of the order is missing or damaged.
Cancellations and Refunds
We hope that you are happy with your purchase. However, if you feel it necessary to return an item because it is faulty or different to that which you have ordered, we aim to make the return process as simple as possible. We must be notified of damaged or faulty goods within two days of delivery. We will refund you using the method of payment used to make the purchase. Goods must be returned unopened (in the case of external defects), sealed and in the original packaging. Glenrinnes Distillery Limited will refund accepted returns within 30 days of you notifying us about the return. The postage of the return is the responsibility of the purchaser. Liability for loss or damage during transit of goods being returned is the responsibility of the purchaser.
Security
All transactions and related information including credit card details are sent and received through a third party provider: Shopify. Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. This compliance extends to all online stores powered by Shopify including this Site. For more information visit https://www.shopify.com/security/pci-compliant. If you have any questions about any aspect of Site security please contact at operations@glenrinnesdistillery.com.
Re-sale
Products purchased from the Site are for the customer's own use only (which may include their use as gifts for third parties). Bottles may not be re-sold or otherwise used for commercial purposes. If you would like to discuss corporate or commercial opportunities, please contact us on 01340 820859 or operations@glenrinnesdistillery.com.
Age Restrictions
It is against the law for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor or for any person over the age of 18 to buy or attempt to buy intoxicating liquor for any person under the age of 18. Glenrinnes Distillery is committed to upholding its legal and social obligations as a retailer of intoxicating liquor. By placing an order, you confirm that you and the recipient of the wine are at least 18 years old. If our couriers are in doubt of the age of the recipient of an order, they will request some form of ID. In the event that this is not satisfied they are not permitted to leave the order.
We may validate name, address, age 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. Personal information that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency which may keep a record of that information. This is done only to confirm your identity. A credit card check is not performed and your credit rating will be unaffected. If we cannot verify your age using this method we will contact you to ask for a driving licence number (or other evidence) in order to proceed with the order.
Fraud and Crime Prevention
For the purposes of the prevention or detection of offences, and/or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, we may share any information that we collect with the police, other public or private sector agencies or representative bodies in accordance with the relevant legislation. Information shared in this way will not be used for marketing purposes.
Liability
Please note that the images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we use our best efforts to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the products. The products you purchase may vary slightly from those images.
You have certain legal rights in respect of any products or services you purchase from us, including that such products are of satisfactory quality and that services are provided with reasonable care and skill. You have certain legal remedies if we breach these rights. Nothing in these Terms is intended to affect or limit these legal rights or other rights to which you may also be entitled, for example to damages. For more information about your legal rights please contact your local Citizens Advice Service or Trading Standards Service.
Our liability for any losses, damage or costs you suffer as a result of us failing to comply with these Terms is strictly limited to any losses, damage or costs which are a foreseeable consequence of such failure. Loss, damage or a cost is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen, or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
We are not responsible for any delay in, or failure of, performance of our obligations under these Terms arising from any event which is outside of our control (for example, an act of God, governmental act, war, fire, adverse weather conditions including snow, flood or storm, explosion or civil commotion, failure of a third party (other than our sub-contractors) or in information technology or telecommunications services, or industrial action). In the event of a significant delay or failure, we will contact you and take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of the delay or failure. If you are unhappy with a delay which affects your order, you may cancel the order and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received by contacting us. If you subsequently receive your order after cancelling it and getting a refund, you must let us know and allow us to collect the products you have received.
We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any loss, damage or costs which arise as a result of:
Your failure to lift, transport, store or otherwise handle any product in an appropriate and safe manner; or
Any spillages or breakages involving one or more of our products, unless such loss, damage or cost arises as a result of our negligence or one of our products being faulty or defective.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, for fraud, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Tours and Events
We encourage responsible drinking. By buying and using a ticket for an event (including a tour or tasting at Glenrinnes Distillery), you accept that:
there is strictly no admittance to anyone under 18 years old, including babes in arms and pushchairs. We reserve the right to ask for photographic identification with proof of age;
strictly no containers holding spirits, mixed or otherwise, can be removed from the premises;
there is no smoking allowed within the venue;
you may be photographed, filmed and sound recorded for broadcast or publication;
the venue and organisers shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage within the premises;
attendees will be liable for the full commercial cost of any products or equipment lost or damaged as a result of their individual actions whilst on-site;
should this ticket be re-sold or transferred for profit or commercial gain by anyone other than Glenrinnes Distillery Limited, it will become voidable and the holder may be refused entry to, or ejected from, the venue.
Glenrinnes Distillery Limited reserves the right in combination with any other statements or directives which may be shown on the ticket or displayed in their premises to:
alter the composition of the event, talks or demonstrations without being obliged to refund monies or exchange tickets;
refuse the use of any form of audio or visual equipment;
conduct security searches to ensure the safety of attendees;
refuse admission or expel any person whose conduct renders such a course necessary.
Tour bookings, changes and cancellations
If the event is cancelled, postponed or other material changes are made (such as a change of the venue), we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable. The original tickets that you have purchased will remain valid for the revised event (except for in the case of cancellation) unless otherwise advised. However, should you be unable to attend the revised event or in the case that an event is cancelled, we will offer you the option to attend an alternative event or a refund of the face value of the tickets.
Tickets are valid only for the date and time booked. If you are unable to attend the event you have booked, please contact us immediately. Please note that we may not be able to refund you if you cancel less than 5 working days before the date of the event. No-show bookings are non-refundable and you will not be able to rebook for a different date. To cancel your place at an event or change the date/time please call 01340 820859 or email events@eight-lands.com.
Personal arrangements including travel, accommodation or hospitality relating to the event which have been arranged by you are at your own risk. Glenrinnes Distillery Limited shall not be liable to you for any loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure.
