Each product or service listed on Barrel Club Midleton Distillery website is not an offer to purchase such product or service but an invitation to make an offer.

In all instances, all sales are advertised, solicited, offered, accepted, made and delivered by vendors who receive all orders. In all instances, any solicitation, invitation, offer, advertisement or communication is void where prohibited by law.

We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products you purchase from third-party sellers, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of membership will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of error. These prices include VAT. If there is a pricing error in relation to the membership which could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing then we have the right to cancel any membership issued in respect of the purchase and issue you a refund in respect of the same. Payment for all services and products may be made by credit or debit card.

The products are sold under the condition that they will at no point become the subject of duty of tax evasion.

We'll refund any money received from you to the method of payment originally used unless agreed otherwise (i.e. store credit).

We may cancel orders that we suspect were placed using incorrect information, misuse of store credit and promo codes, and other forms of fraud. If that is the case with your order, a Customer Support representative may contact you first by email and give you a reasonable amount of time to respond to our concerns. Another reason for us to cancel your order is if it cannot be fulfilled due to unavailability even 2 months after it was made. Other possible reasons would include pricing and inventory errors (we rely on the diligence of our fulfilment partners to keep the store up to date). It does not happen often, but just in case, and for these kinds of cases, we don't take any responsibility for damages caused due to longer fulfilment times or inability to deliver items.

Product pages of goods on sale are subject to change (i.e. prices, availability, and general product information such as edition or batch). We reserve the right to cancel an order whenever there is a discrepancy, in product description or price, between the website and the item available for fulfilment.
