Unless otherwise specified, prices quoted on site website and associated price lists are:

  • Per case or per bottle as indicated.
  • Exclusive of tax, excise duty and delivery charges (if applicable).
  • Provisional and subject to our confirmation, upon acceptance of order.

All Orders are accepted by the Seller only under these Terms and these Terms shall be the sole terms and conditions of any sale by the Seller to any Customer. The Terms may not be altered except with the written agreement of the Seller. Any contrary or additional terms unless so agreed are excluded. The placing of an Order for or the acceptance of Goods by the Customer shall indicate unqualified acceptance of these Terms.

Orders are accepted by the Seller subject to availability of Goods at the time of delivery.

All Orders placed on by the Customer represent a binding contract which is not subject to amendment or cancellation. Upon completion of an Order, all the risks and benefits pertaining to the title of the inventory pass to the Customer at the time of that order.

These Terms supersede all previous oral or written representations, undertakings and agreements relating to the Goods.

The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any misrepresentation made by the Seller, its employees or agents to the Customer as to the condition or quality of the Goods as far as Hong Kong law allows or unless the representation is made or confirmed in writing by the Seller.

While the Seller takes every precaution in the preparation of its website, catalogues, price lists and other literature these documents are for the guidance of the Buyer only and statements therein shall not constitute representations by the Seller and the Seller shall not be bound by them. Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by the Seller shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of the Seller.

 

  1. Payment

Payment is due at the time of order, other than for approved credit accounts. We reserve the right to cancel orders if we have not received payment within 14 days of the due date.

The Seller shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to refuse or at any time to withdraw a credit account without giving a reason. In accepting the offer of a credit account the Customer agrees that the Seller may make periodic searches with credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies to manage the Customer credit account. The Seller shall not disclose any information obtained carrying out such searches to any third party without the Customer's consent except as may be required by law.

If the Customer has a credit account with the Seller the Customer shall make payment for the Goods in cleared funds on or before the payment date - being the invoice date plus the payment terms (unless otherwise agreed in writing).

Payment may be made by bank transfer, and certain debit and credit cards (we reserve the right to levy a 1.5% surcharge on credit cards and a 3% surcharge on American Express cards). The Customer's bank or other paying entity may levy a charge to transfer funds to the Seller. The Seller is not liable for any such charges, which are outside the Seller's control. Approved trade accounts may be granted 30 days credit at our discretion. Overdue sums carry interest from the date when payment becomes due at 5% per annum above the base rate from time to time. Until all sums due to us have been paid we shall be entitled to retain possession of any goods to which you would otherwise be entitled. If any payment is overdue we shall be entitled to suspend deliveries/collections.

The price payable for Goods shall be that stated on this website or price list unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller. Unless specified, all prices are quoted inclusive of any applicable tax/duty at the date of Order unless zero rated or exempt from tax/duty.

The prices of Goods are subject to alteration without prior notice. Specifically (and without limiting the foregoing) prices are subject to alteration to reflect changes in duty or foreign exchange rates and variations in the prices charged to the Seller by their suppliers.
