Terms & Conditions
These terms apply to your use of our website and to any wine you buy from us. Please read them carefully — by using the site or placing an order, you agree to them.
Consumer terms of sale
Formation of the contract
No binding contract exists until we receive payment and confirm your order by email. Orders are subject to your cancellation rights, and we may amend these terms for future transactions without notice.
Description and price of the goods
Prices shown on the website apply to online sales only and are subject to availability. If an item is unavailable you’ll be refunded; in the event of a pricing error we’ll contact you to reconfirm or cancel. Delivery charges are shown separately at checkout.
Vintages
We will supply an ensuing vintage when the one quoted is no longer available. Please tell us if you’d prefer not to receive a substitute; otherwise returns are subject to our terms, with return carriage at your cost.
Payment
We accept Maestro, Switch, Visa and Mastercard. Card details are encrypted and authorised by your card issuer, and we may validate your details against commercial records to help prevent fraud.
Delivery
We deliver to the address you provide; non-mainland UK addresses may incur additional charges. All deliveries require a signature from an adult aged 18 or over. Standard delivery is within 3 working days, though in rare cases this may be as long as 10.
Breakages & shortages
Broken bottles are refunded or replaced. Please notify us within 24 hours and keep the damaged goods for inspection, noting any issues on the courier’s documentation at the time of delivery.
Returns
Corked, tainted or faulty wines can be exchanged if the bottle and cork are returned. Remote customers may arrange returns at their own carriage cost, by prior agreement.
Your right of cancellation
You may cancel within seven working days of receiving the goods by writing to sales@highburyvintners.co.uk with your order details. Post-delivery cancellations require collection at your expense unless the goods are faulty. Refunds are processed within 30 days.
Glass and ice bin hire (shop only)
Free glass hire is available to local customers buying at least 12 bottles. Breakages are £3.50 per glass and there is a cleaning charge of £5 per 24 glasses; ice bins are £15 each if not returned within three days.
Sale & return (shop only)
Available on bulk orders in place of a discount. Goods must be returned in resalable condition, in original packaging, unused and normally stocked.
Data protection
We keep your order and payment information secure and use your data to fulfil orders and, where agreed, send marketing. You can unsubscribe at any time by emailing us with ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line.
Applicable law
These terms are governed by English law, and the English courts have jurisdiction over any disputes.
