We reserve the right to revoke your membership for any reason at any time including as a result of a violation of these Terms or the Privacy & Cookie Policy, without notice. Where we revoke your membership, this will not affect current orders which we have acknowledged unless we revoke as a result of your breach of these Terms or the Privacy & Cookie Policy or any other guidelines or rules, in which case we may terminate all existing orders and will not be obliged to make any refund. In event that we revoke your subscription membership, you will reimburse any subscription fees on a pro-rata basis. Membership is void where prohibited by law.

 

6. Orders and Contracts

The Curious Drinker Membership Packages (“Memberships” or "Subscriptions") may be ordered by clicking on the package you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us by clicking the "Submit Order" or equivalent button on the checkout page.

Your order constitutes an offer to The Curious Drinker to buy a Membership. All orders are subject to acceptance by The Curious Drinker. The Curious Drinker is not obliged to accept your order and may, at its discretion, decline to accept any order. Where The Curious Drinker accepts your order, it will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that The Curious Drinker has recognised your purchase of a Membership. 

By purchasing The Curious Drinker Membership you acknowledge that your Membership has both an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your subscription will be automatically extended for successive periods, the frequency of which is determined by you at the point of purchase or within your login area, at the original subscription rate. Your credit card will be charged on the 23rd of the month (either monthly, every 2 months or every 3 months, depending on the frequency you selected). Any Membership cancellations need to be completed by you and acknowledged by The Curious Drinker prior to the 23rd of the month. You may cancel your Membership at any time by logging into your account and following the procedure specified. The Curious Drinker may submit periodic charges without further authorisation from you until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorisation or wish to change your payment method.

The price of a Membership includes a bottle or bottles of your chosen spirits, mixers, syrups, garnishes, snacks, magazine and free delivery, except for members located in the Channel Islands, for whom a shipping and handling fee also applies. The price of £47 includes VAT at the prevailing rate for each item, except for members located in the Channel Islands, for whom VAT is not charged. All items that form part of our membership offer are available to buy separately on our website.

Please note that some of the snacks and accompaniments included in our boxes may contain alcohol or CBD. We carefully select these items to enhance your experience, but we recommend reviewing the packaging and product details if you have specific dietary or lifestyle preferences.

We reserve the right to revoke your subscription at any time as a result of a violation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy. Membership is void where prohibited by law.

From time to time we run different promotional offers where delivery charges may apply. Where this is the case it will be communicated.

 

7. Offers & Discount Codes

If you have a discount code, this needs to be applied during the checkout; the option is located on the same page as your contact details. Please note that we only allow for one code/discount/promotion to be used at checkout. Only one offer/discount may be used per transaction. Offers do not apply to gift memberships unless specifically stated. Offers cannot be added retrospectively. Offers are not transferable or redeemable for cash or credit.

We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel discount codes at any time. We also reserve the right to reject discount codes if we suspect any fraud which may result in a subsequent charge to the customer for the value of the discount.

Our referral discount code is only valid for recurring memberships, not gifts. Please note, the referee and referrer must have different delivery addresses, and members aren't allowed to refer themselves by setting up multiple accounts. Existing members are unable to redeem offers by setting up multiple memberships.  We reserve the right to charge such members setting up multiple memberships for the value of any referral offers applied to their accounts.

We only allow one intro offer per member. 

In regards to cancelling and renewing your membership, please see below for our general subscription reactivation offer terms.  

• Monthly Memberships originating or reactivating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a twelve (12)-month period
• Bi-Monthly Memberships originating or reactivating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a twenty-four (24)-month period
• Quarterly Memberships originating or reactivating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a thirty-six (36)-month period

The exception to these reactivation terms is if we have communicated a reactivation offer directly with you.

The Curious Drinker reserves the right to take additional payments from existing or past members where introductory offers have been used in breach of this policy or to unreasonably “game” the system to achieve financial gain at The Curious Drinker’s expense.

 

8. Member rights & cancellation

You may cancel your Membership at any time by logging into your account and following the procedure specified in our FAQ. If you cancel after the charge date of the 23rd of the month prior to when your box is due, you will still receive the next box. The Curious Drinker will not issue any refunds for any boxes where the Membership box has already been dispatched. Members that subscribe to the The Curious Drinker with any type of discount may not re-register for membership with a discount in the following manner:

• Monthly Memberships originating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a twelve (12)-month period
• Bi-Monthly Memberships originating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a twenty-four (24)-month period
• Quarterly Memberships originating with a discount cannot be cancelled and renewed with a discount within a thirty-six (36)-month period

Gift Memberships may not be cancelled. Discounts for recurring memberships do not apply to Gift Memberships.

If you receive damaged or broken goods, you may follow the procedure specified in our FAQ for declaring the affected item/s. Replacement declarations must be made within 24 hours of receiving your order, where The Curious Drinker will send you replacement/s of the same item/s. The Curious Drinker does not refund damaged or broken bottles. The Curious Drinker reserves the right to dispute the reception of a damaged or broken bottle.

The Curious Drinker’s shipping partners normally alert The Curious Drinker in the event of broken items before it is delivered. If this occurs with your order, The Curious Drinker will send you a new item as soon as possible.

11. Disclaimers

The Curious Drinker is not responsible if you cannot access the Site properly or at all because your ISP connection, the Internet generally or your browser software is inadequate or functioning badly, or if your ISP suspends or terminates their service to you, or because of any other event outside The Curious Drinker's control. If you cannot access the Site properly or at all because of any of these reasons, The Curious Drinker will not refund any money you have paid or compensate you.

Making the Site enjoyable means The Curious Drinker needs to fix bugs, install updates and do general diagnosis and maintenance of the Site. The Curious Drinker will try to do scheduled maintenance during what The Curious Drinker anticipates will be relatively low levels of online use. The Curious Drinker also needs to be able to do emergency maintenance and/or suspend access to the servers where, in The Curious Drinker's reasonable discretion, The Curious Drinker sees the need to do that. The Curious Drinker will try to have the Site available again as soon as The Curious Drinker thinks it is safe to do so.

The Site relies in part on software to work. The software has bugs. Whilst The Curious Drinker will monitor the Site and try to fix bugs that are made known to us, The Curious Drinker cannot guarantee that the Site will be bug-free or will work all the time. It is not a term of these Terms of Use that the Site or any individual feature of the Site will always be available, error-free and/or free from viruses.

Where the Site contains links to other websites and third-party products or services, these links are provided for your information only. The Curious Drinker is not responsible for the content of these websites or products or services.

For example, losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and The Curious Drinker at the start of your membership.

16. Waiver; Remedies; Variations, Entire Agreement

The failure of The Curious Drinker to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of The Curious Drinker of any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by The Curious Drinker or be deemed a waiver by The Curious Drinker of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of The Curious Drinker under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and The Curious Drinker shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit The Curious Drinker’s right to exercise any other right or remedy. These Terms may not be varied except with our express written consent. These Terms and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of your use of the Site and any order. We are required by law to advise you that contracts may be concluded in English only and that no public filing requirements apply.
