This website www.fabulousladieswinesociety.com is operated by The Fabulous Ladies’ Wine Society (ACN 613 874 865) (“we”, “us” and “our”).

The Fabulous Ladies’ Wine Society is committed to the responsible service of alcohol. It is against the law to sell or supply alcohol to, or obtain alcohol on behalf of, a person under the age of 18 years of age.  You must be over 18 to place an order online, via the phone, or to receive a delivery at which time ID may/will be requested.

Our website includes Products available for purchase from various sellers (“Sellers”). If you place an order for a Product on our website (a “Product”), you are placing any order with the Seller of the Product, and not us.

We make the Products available for purchase (including by taking orders and collecting payment) as the agent of the Seller, and not on our own behalf. When you place an order to purchase a Product via this Website, you are making an offer directly to the Seller. No order shall be deemed to be accepted by the Seller until we (acting as the agent of the Seller) issue an email acknowledgement of order. The contract between you and a Seller will relate only to those goods and/or services notified in the email acknowledgement of order.

If a Seller accepts your order for the purchase of a Product, then an agreement is formed between you and the Seller and you have rights directly and only against the Seller, and not us. We are not a party to that agreement.

If a Seller accepts your order for the purchase of a Product, then the following terms apply to the agreement with the Seller relating to that purchase.

1. Payment

(a) You agree to pay the purchase price specified on the website at the time that you place your order for the purchase of a Product, and any applicable shipping and insurance charges based on the shipping options agreed to by you. All amounts are stated in Australian dollars. All purchase prices include Australian GST (where applicable). Shipping and any insurance charges will be separately shown.

(b) If the goods are being shipped to an address that is not in the same state or country as the Seller, you or the addressee will be responsible for paying any other sales, use, goods and services, value added, customs, excise or similar taxes or charges (“Other Taxes”) imposed by any applicable government agency in the addressee state or country. The Seller is unable to advise you on the amount of any Other Taxes, and you should contact the taxing authorities of the state or country that the Products are to be shipped to if you are unsure whether any Other Taxes will apply.

(c) You must pay for the Product online by credit card (we accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your payment will be processed upon receipt of your order. The credit cards that are accepted from time to time will be described on the website. A transaction fee may apply for the use of certain credit cards, and where this is the case this will also be described on the website.

2. Cancellation of orders

(a)The Seller may cancel an order that it has already accepted if the Seller suspects that you are acting fraudulently (such as using a credit card without proper authorisation) or in breach of these terms.

(b) While the Seller endeavours to avoid pricing and other errors, inadvertent errors do occur from time to time and the Seller may also cancel an order that it has accepted in such circumstances.

(c) Unforeseen supply problems or unexpected demand may occasionally result in a Product being unavailable. If there is a delay in shipping your order the Seller will contact you by email as soon as possible to advise you of the reason for the delay. If this occurs, you may cancel your order at any time prior to when the Seller ships the Product to you.

(d) You may also cancel an order if the Seller is in breach of these terms.

3. Delivery

(a) The Seller will normally ship the Product within 1 – 3 Business Days of Seller’s receipt of your order, unless otherwise noted in the Shipping Policy description in their store. Any delivery times displayed on the website are estimates only, based on the information provided to the Seller by its shipping company.

(b) The Seller will deliver the Product to the place of delivery you specify when making your order. Title to and risk in the Product will pass to you upon delivery of the Product to this place of delivery.

4. Returns

Please be aware that under Australian Consumer Law we are not obliged to refund or replace your wine if you simply change your mind, so please take care when making your selection. If in doubt, please contact us prior to placing your order and we will be happy to guide/advise you.

• If in the event your purchase is faulty, damaged, wrongly described or breaches a consumer guarantee we will refund or exchange with proof of purchase.

• If the item you wish to return is faulty, we will require photo proof of the faulty item

• If your purchase incurred a delivery fee, we will cover the cost of delivery for the return if we are at fault (i.e wrong product delivered, fault with the product including damage caused in transit or breach of a consumer guarantee.) In all other circumstances, the delivery charge will be deducted from the refund value.

• Please ensure you use a trackable or signed-for delivery service such as registered post, as we cannot credit your account until the item has been received.

• If for any reason a product you have ordered is not available or out of stock, we will also refund you or offer you a store credit to the same value, and in this case any shipping costs will be refunded.

• Please note: We are unable to refund an item that is not being returned by the original purchaser.
