It is important you read these Terms of Sale (“Terms of Sale”) carefully before ordering any products through the Website because they govern our relationship with you in relation to your purchase.

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.
