Placing an Order

By browsing the SHOP section of our Website, you will be allowed to consult a full list of all the available products at the time of your visit. Any and all available products will be listed by category and will be represented through a picture/photography of the relevant product(s) and a brief description of the item(s) you will be able to purchase through the CHECK OUT section. Please note that any such image/photography is only shown for illustration purpose and that the actual relevant product may vary, due to product enhancement.
All the products you can add to your basket are deemed to be available at the time of your order. Should at any time a product you have ordered be no longer available, we will get in touch with you and we will propose to replace the unavailable goods with a similar product. In case none of the replacement goods proposed will be accepted by you, then we will issue a ViTA Reimbursement Voucher in your name for the face value of the goods purchased and not any longer available. Such voucher shall be subject to the regulations reported at below clauses 11.1 and 11.2.
Transactions involving alcohol may only be made during normal licensing hours. We will not be selling any alcoholic drink to anyone who is not 18 years old or over.
By placing an order you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
If you are buying a case of wine or spirit or liqueur or beer as a gift the recipient must also be over 18 years old.
If our drivers are in any doubt about the age of the recipient on delivery, they will request some form of ID. If the person receiving the alcoholic drink is unable to produce appropriate ID, we regret our driver will be unable to leave the alcoholic drink.
Once the alcoholic drink has been delivered, according to your original delivery instructions, it becomes the recipient’s responsibility.
Once you have placed your order and successfully paid for it, you will receive a confirmation email to the email address you have provided upon registration. Such email shall represent the confirmation of your order and we shall provide our Services pursuant to the provisions of these TOS.

Price of the Goods

The final price of each product you purchase is the one indicated under the relevant Item on the Website, so as it is at the time your order is placed. Should you need to amend your order, the prices actually applied shall be those applicable to the amended item(s)at the time that the amended order is confirmed.
All our prices are inclusive of any Value Added or other tax applicable at the time of your purchase. The price of the delivery service, where not provided for free, shall be clearly indicated apart in the CHECK OUT section and will not appear or add to any price reported in the SHOP section.
Most of our items and products are sold by weight and not by unity. In this case, we undertake to deliver to you the exact weight of goods you have requested in your order. However, we shall not be liable for any discrepancy in the actual weighing of the goods delivered, unless the final figure of such discrepancy is higher than 25% of the original weight of the good purchased. In this case, we shall issue a ViTA Reimbursement Voucher in your name, subject to following clauses 11.1 and 11.2, for the nominal amount of the difference between the price you have paid and the price you should have paid for the actual weight of the product delivered. Please note that any complaint regarding the weight of the goods delivered must be issued within 12 hours from the delivery and must be unequivocally documented.
