HOW YOUR CONTRACT WITH US IS FORMED
 

Orders are submitted via the website in the following way: Once you are ready to make a purchase, you will check out of your shopping basket. The website will ask for your payment details which will be processed on a secure server. When your payment has been processed your order information will be passed to us including your mailing address. We will not hold any of your payment details. It is your responsibility to ensure that your order is correct before submitting it to us. If you have any problems with your order, you should contact us via email at https://www.laphroaig.com/en-gb/contact-us. Our Customer Service Team will respond to you directly via email.

We will send you a confirmatory email to acknowledge that your order has been successfully placed with information on the product that you have selected (“Confirmatory Email”). On receipt of your order, we will check to make sure we are able to fulfill your order. Where we accept your order, we will confirm such order by sending you a second email ("Dispatch Email") confirming your order and dispatch of the Product(s) to the delivery address you have requested. This is sent out automatically by us to the email address you register with. By sending you the Dispatch Email and thereby confirming and accepting your order, the contract (“Contract”) between us is formed. You should check both the Confirmatory Email and Dispatch Email for accuracy and let us know at https://www.laphroaig.com/en-gb/contact-us immediately if there are any errors. If there are any problems with your order which we wish to query, you will be contacted by a Customer Service representative via email.
 

PRICE AND PAYMENT
 

Prices and delivery costs are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders which have already been confirmed in the Dispatch Email. Prices are checked regularly. However, if we find the price has changed or that there has been a pricing error when we receive your order (before the Dispatch email has been sent and a Contract is formed) we will contact you and ask if you wish to proceed at the correct price. The prices for the Product(s) indicated on the Website and at checkout include all local taxes and duty, which may be payable in respect of the Product(s) but excludes the delivery costs which will be automatically added to the total amount due when you view your items in your shopping basket. All payments must be made at the time of order of the Product(s) by you. Payment for all Product(s) must be by credit or debit card or via PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay. If we are unable to accept your order for any reason then we will refund any money paid by you in respect of that order. We will not dispatch the Product(s) until we receive payment in full. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this. For payment by card, all credit and debit cardholders may be subject to authorization and authentication. If the issuer of your payment card or our service provider refuses to, or does not for any reason authorize or validate the payment, we will not be liable in these circumstances for any delay or non-delivery in respect of the Product(s) which you have ordered as a result.
 

DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK
 

Deliveries take approximately 3-5 business days. We will notify you once your order has been dispatched and provide you with a tracking number that you can use to track the shipment. If you have any further questions, please email our Customer Service Team at https://www.laphroaig.com/en-gb/contact-us. Please note: this does not apply to pre-ordered products (products being offered for purchase in advance of arrival at our warehouse), as further delays can occur here.

We can only deliver Product(s) to addresses within Mainland UK.

Ownership and risk of the Product(s) will pass to you on delivery.
 

WHO CAN PURCHASE FROM US?
 

To purchase products and have your order fulfilled by us, you must be over 18 years of

Should your item be returned to us due to non delivery your order can be refunded (minus the delivery charge) or we can re-deliver, however you will need to pay a redelivery charge.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery of the Product(s) ordered by you in the event that there is any profanity which includes but is not limited to any obscene, offensive, hateful, inflammatory or sexually explicit language.

We may in our sole discretion limit or restrict the quantity or volume of any Product(s) which you purchase from us whether in one transaction or in any series of transactions over any specific time period.  We will let you know, prior to you finalising your purchase, if any Product(s) are subject to restrictions on the quantity or volume you may purchase. 

Products are sold for private use and consumption and not for commercial resale.  In addition to our right to limit the quantity or volume of Products which you may purchase, we may also seek from you (as a condition of sale) assurances satisfactory to us (in our sole discretion) that you are not purchasing Products for commercial resale.  We will be entitled to refuse delivery of any Products if we have reasonable grounds for believing that any breach of this condition is likely to occur.
