a) The placing of an order anywhere on Our Site does not constitute a contract. Order acceptance and the contract between You and Us will only be formed on the despatch to You of the product(s) ordered unless We have notified You that We do not accept Your order, or You have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions set out in the “Cancellations, Replacements and Refunds” section below. For the avoidance of doubt, a contract is not formed at the point in time that payment has been taken from You by IAG Loyalty Retail Limited (t/a The Wine Flyer) nor at the point when You receive an email from IAG Loyalty Retail Limited (t/a The Wine Flyer) acknowledging receipt of Your order.

b) You may make an order for:

i. a one-off purchase (One-Off Purchase);

ii. a subscription as described on the Site (Subscription).

i. The product(s) You ordered being unavailable from stock

ii. Our inability to obtain authorisation for Your payment

iii. Our inability or that of our couriers to verify that You are aged 18 or over

iv. The identification of a pricing or product description error

b) Although We endeavour to ensure that all pricing information on Our Website is accurate, occasionally an error may occur and products may be incorrectly priced. In the event that a product You have ordered is listed at an incorrect price We will contact You by email before despatching Your product asking You to confirm if You still wish to proceed with Your order at the correct price or cancel Your order. If You do not confirm that You wish to proceed with the order within seven days of the date of Our email, We will consider this is a withdrawal of Your order.

c) Where a particular wine is part of a pre-mix case with a general discount applied, the discounted price for the case is relative to the non-discounted prices for the constituent wines.

d) We reserve the right to alter prices without notice in the event of major currency fluctuations, changes in the rate of duty, VAT or other taxes or import tariffs (including but not limited to the imposition of any new or replacement duty or tariff by the WTO or any other competent authority domestic or international) or other market conditions.

We reserve the right to take payment from another registered payment card if We fail to take payment from Your default payment card or Your default payment method has expired. This in no way restricts Your rights to cancel.

The actual Avios awarded will be calculated based on the cash value of the total number of each product in the order at the applicable collection rate for that product. The cash value is the cost to the customer of the product inclusive of taxes after the use of redemption of Avios used to discount.

e) Where a substitute product is accepted (see section on Availability), we will award Avios on the basis of the original product ordered.

e) Spending of Avios on orders that are part of a Subscription is not available except for the first order where the subscription is set up.

On the 6th April 2023 the Northern Irish Government introduced regulations which prohibits the collection and spending of loyalty points, including Avios, on any alcoholic product with an ABV percentage of 0.5% or more. This unfortunately now prohibits the delivery of goods to British Airways Executive Club members with a registration or delivery address in Northern Ireland until further notice.

For more information please click here, in particular see reference to Clause 17 which includes the following:

• Clause 17 introduces new Article 57ZB in the Licensing Order (Prohibition of loyalty schemes). Article 57ZB prohibits the award or redemption of loyalty or bonus points for the purchase of intoxicating liquor in all licensed premises.

• Article 57ZB adds an offence (punishable by a fine up to £5,000) for a licence holder to operate a loyalty reward or bonus scheme.

• Subsection (2) makes a consequential amendment to Part 3 of Schedule 10A (penalty points for offences punishable with level 5 fine) to take account of the introduction of new Article 57ZB.

a) You have certain legal rights in respect of any products or services You purchase from Us, including that such products are of satisfactory quality and that services are provided with reasonable care and skill. You have certain legal remedies if We breach these rights. Nothing in these Terms of Sale is intended to affect or limit these legal rights or other rights to which You may also be entitled, for example to damages. For more information about Your legal rights please contact Your local Citizens Advice Service or Trading Standards Service.

iii. Lifting, transportation, storage or otherwise handling of any product in an appropriate and safe manner. For example, a case of wine, beer and/or spirits is heavy so extra care should be taken when lifting it. If You are concerned about the weight, We advise that You transfer the units (e.g. bottles) 1 or 2 at a time.

Where possible, You should store bottles horizontally, at a stable, cool temperature, out of direct light and in an atmosphere which has some moisture in order to avoid the drying out of corks. The wine should be subject to as little movement as possible. Failure to store products correctly could result in Us being unable to accept the cancellation of an order.
