AGE RESTRICTION
No goods are offered for sale at this site to any person who is below legal drinking age in the country in which he or she is resident or any person resident in a country where such sale would be contrary to local law. By placing an order through our site you warrant that you are of a lawful age. If you are buying Products as a gift, the recipient must also be of a lawful age. This is the responsibility of the purchaser. If our couriers are in any doubt about the age of the recipient on delivery, they may request some form of ID.
HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN US?
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that your order has been received. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been despatched (the “Despatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation. The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.
CANCELLATION RIGHTS
As a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen working days of the day you receive the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with the refunds policy set out below. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition and packaging in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
PAYMENT AND ORDER PROCESS
You can pay for Products purchased from our online shop by using any of the following cards: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro or Visa Debit. You must give us authority for payment at the time of order. There are several mandatory fields which you must complete to enable us to process your order and allow us to contact you should we need to discuss your order. Please complete all fields carefully and accurately. All card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. We will not deliver any Products prior to these checks and authorisations being completed. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment to us, your order cannot be accepted and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
All payment and credit card information is processed directly via the secure payment gateway Shopify and is not entered on The Glenturret systems. Due to the high value of our products, you may be contacted by email shop@theglenturret.com and asked to confirm your identity.
The main characteristics of the goods sold through this site are set out on the pages picturing them. Every effort has been made to display the colours of the goods as accurately as possible. However, because the colour you see will depend on your monitor we cannot guarantee that the colours of the goods purchased by you will be the same as the colours shown on your monitor. Should your order be accepted, the price applicable to goods ordered by you shall be that shown on the site at the point at which your order is placed. The period for which this price is valid is limited and can only be guaranteed for orders placed that day (unless a longer period is stated specifically in the description given).

The sales tax applicable to your order will depend on a number of factors which will be established at the point of placing your order.
These include the following:
The type of goods ordered (rates may differ);
Where the goods are to be delivered to e.g. UK, EU, outside EU.
You are responsible for paying any import or similar duties which may be levied on the export or import of the goods ordered by you. The goods purchased by you will be despatched to you by the method of delivery indicated within 30 days of the date of your order.
