PIG Beer - Online Store Terms &
Conditions of Purchase
Thank you for choosing to buy from our website, www.pigbeer.com (the ‘Site). Before completing your purchase please read these terms and conditions carefully. An order cannot be placed unless you have confirmed to us that you have read and understood these terms and conditions. If you have any queries in connection with these Terms and Conditions you can contact us via the Contact Us page and we will aim to respond to your query within 48 hours, though please be aware it may take us slightly longer during busier periods.
1. Status of these Terms and Conditions
a) Please be aware that these Terms and Conditions apply to all sales of beers, spirits, wines, champagnes, ciders and any other products (collectively “Products”) sold or supplied to you (“you” or “the Customer”) through the Site by PIG Beer, a trading name of Baynhams Brewery Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 10602463, VAT registration number GB 264 7869 51) whose registered address is Hops House, Lymington Road, Brockenhurst, Hampshire SO42 7UF (“Baynhams Brewery”,”PIG Beer”, “we”, or “us”). These Terms and Conditions also apply to Products made available and/or advertised on the Site from time to time.
b) You are responsible for reviewing these Terms and Conditions before you place your order for Products. Before your order can be placed you will be asked to confirm
that you have read and understood these Terms and Conditions. If you tick the box next to the statement to provide such confirmation we shall be entitled to rely on that
confirmation.
c) We advise you to keep a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records when you place the order.
2. Products – Details, availability and prices
a) We work hard to ensure that all details provided on our Site are correct, accurate and up to date. However, due to the number of Products featured on the Site, from
time to time there may be errors. We take no responsibility whatsoever for information that is incomplete, inaccurate or out of date.
b) Where we have mistakenly advertised a Product at a price which is lower than the correct price, we shall not be liable to provide that Product at the advertised price. In these circumstances we will notify you before the relevant Product(s) are dispatched and we will be entitled to cancel your order provided we refund your payment to the credit or debit card you used when placing the order. Where you have overpaid we will refund the full difference.
c) All Products are advertised and made available on the Site subject to availability. On rare occasions a Product may appear available on the Site but we are out of
stock. As we are an independent microbrewery certain Products may become unavailable from time to time. There may also be instances where we have just sold
out of the last bottle before you place your order and our system has not yet updated itself to show the item as being out-of-stock. If you have ordered a mixture of
Products and some of them are unavailable, in order to get your order to you as quickly as possible, we may change some of the bottles and provide you with a
replacement (“Replacement Bottles”). However, we will only ever send you a Replacement Bottle which we deem to be of a similar style and standard and which is
the same or a higher value as the unavailable Product in your order and we will never replace more than 3 bottles. If, due to the stock availability, it would be necessary to change more than 3 bottles we will contact you and give you the opportunity to cancel your order in respect of the unavailable Products or wait until they are back in
stock to receive them. If, upon receipt, you don’t like the Replacement Bottles we have chosen for you, please refer to sections 9B and 10B below to arrange a return
and refund. If we are unable to supply a certain Product and we do not provide a substitute our only liability will be to refund or not charge you for the out of stock
items.
d) All prices are quoted in pounds sterling, and are per bottle unless otherwise indicated. The prices include Value Added Tax unless otherwise specified. Any delivery charges are additional and will be notified to you before you place your order.
e) We reserve the right to change our prices and/or to terminate any special offer at any time, without notice. Please check our Site for current prices.
f) Details of minimum and maximum order limits will be shown on the Site and may be amended by us at any time.
3. Your order and our contract
a) By placing your order on our Site you are offering to buy the Products in your order from us.
b) Following receipt of your order we will send you an order confirmation to confirm receipt of your order, which will include details of the Products you have ordered. You will need to bring any errors in your order confirmation to our attention as soon as possible to ensure this can be rectified. Please email us at hello@pigbeer.com to
notify us of the errors. A delayed notification may be too late to change your order before delivery.
c) Your offer is not accepted and the contract is not formed between you and us (the “Contract”) until we despatch the Products to you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the Products to you without giving any reason and our only liability to you will be to refund any payments which may have been taken.
d) If we are unable to accept your order for any reason, such as the Products you ordered being out of stock (subject to sections 2c and 9Ba), or having been under-priced on the Site, or where the order exceeds the maximum permitted order for that Product we will notify you by email at the email address you have provided and we will either refund any payments which may have been taken from you or not take such payments, in each case, in respect of the relevant Products.
4. Age restrictions
a) We do not (and by law we cannot) sell Products to anyone who is not 18 years old or over. By placing an order and using our Site you confirm that you are at least 18
years old.
b) If you are buying Products on behalf of another person or to give or send as a gift to another person, by placing an order you confirm that such person is also at least
18 years old and it is your responsibility to ensure this is correct.
c) We operate a Challenge 25 policy which means that if you, as a recipient of Products, are lucky enough to appear under 25 you can expect to be asked by our
couriers to provide an acceptable form of ID (which will usually be a drivers’ licence or passport) to prove that you are 18 years or older. You will also need to show your
ID if collecting from the Post Office. Our couriers will not leave Products with any recipient who is unable to produce satisfactory ID when requested. Similarly, the Post
Office will not release Products to anyone who cannot provide such ID. In these circumstances, we will contact you to rearrange delivery in accordance with these
Terms and Conditions. However, if the person who was unable to provide satisfactory ID is the person who placed the order we will cancel the order and our only liability to you will be to refund the purchase price of the Products. As delivery will have been attempted we will not refund the delivery fee.
5. Payment
a) We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal. Credit and debit cards will be debited in pounds sterling.

the subject of theft or any other unauthorised use.

d) We are unable to confirm the exact time that your delivery will arrive with you. However, once your order has left our warehouse you will receive an email or SMS
from our couriers to notify you that the order is on its way. This email will contain a tracking code allowing you to track the progress of your parcel on www.fedex.com.
e) If you are not at home when our couriers attempt to deliver your order and you have not left instructions for us to leave the order with an authorised person at your
property or with a neighbour, provided our couriers are able to access your mailbox, they will leave a card to let you know that they have tried to make the delivery with
instructions of what to do next. It will be your responsibility to follow the instructions on the card within the time given on the card to arrange redelivery. If our couriers are unable to access your mailbox either because you are not at home or because a neighbour is not at home and access to your mailbox is not possible from the front
door the couriers will not leave a card and you will need to contact them to arrange redelivery. If you are unable to make progress with them to arrange redelivery you
should contact us via our Contact Us page. If you fail to contact our couriers within the time given on the card or within a reasonable time following the initial delivery
date where our couriers are unable to leave a card and Baynhams Brewery Ltd incurs charges, costs, expenses, losses or liabilities (“Charges”) for storage, redelivery or return back to our warehouse we shall have a right to collect those Charges from you.
f) If you give us instructions to leave your delivery with an authorised person at your property or with a neighbour, provided our couriers have left the delivery in the place where you have instructed us to leave it, neither we nor our couriers shall have any liability whatsoever for any subsequent damage, loss or theft which occurs to the Products after they have been left in the designated location. Please note that if you live in a property which contains a number of units and you do not, when placing your order on the Site, specify a particular neighbour with whom to leave your parcel but instead request the parcel be left with a neighbour in response to the text message you receive from our couriers, the couriers may leave the parcel with any neighbour in your property who grants them access to the property and any such delivery is left at your risk. It is your responsibility when requesting that your parcel be left with a neighbour to ensure that such neighbour will be at home and available to take collection of the delivery.
g) Neither we nor our couriers accept any responsibility for loss or damages suffered as a result of deliveries not being made by the estimated delivery time for reasons
which are beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, traffic delays.
h) We do not accept any responsibility for loss or damages which arises from deliveries not being made because you have provided incorrect or inaccurate address details, email address and/or phone number which prevents our couriers from contacting you. We shall be entitled to recover any Charges levied upon us by our courier company as a result of such incorrect or inaccurate details being provided.
i) Where your delivery address is a property which contains a number of units (e.g. an apartment block, offices), we cannot guarantee that our couriers will deliver to the
front door or individual entrance of your unit. It is at each individual courier’s discretion as to whether or not s/he will bring the delivery directly to your front door where you are in a building which is comprised of several units. For example s/he may not bring the delivery up several flights of stairs in the absence of a lift and may
not be able to carry it from the main entrance to your front door/the lift. If our courier is unable to bring the package to your front door s/he will leave a card to notify you of the attempted delivery and it will be your responsibility to follow the instructions on the card in accordance with section 6e above.
7. Ownership
Title to all Products shall remain under Baynhams Brewery Ltd’s ownership and shall pass to the Customer upon delivery, provided we have processed and received
payment in full. Products shall become your responsibility from the time our couriers deliver the goods to you or leave them in the designated location notified by you to
our couriers (e.g. at your property with an authorised person, with a neighbour).
