1. To access the services provided on the Site, you must register as a Member of The Whisky Club by completing the registration form and providing the information requested. Any signup rewards are available to new Members only, limited to one reward per person. A new Member is a person who has not previously held an account with The Club.

2. You agree to ensure that your registration details are accurate and kept up to date at all times. It is your responsibility to update your delivery address before an order is placed. We are not liable for deliveries made to an incorrect address where you have failed to update your details prior to an order being placed.

5. You must be 18 years of age or older to become a Member of The Whisky Club. It is an offence under applicable liquor licensing laws to sell alcohol to a person under 18, and for a person under 18 to purchase alcohol. By registering, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. If we become aware that a Member has falsely represented their age, we reserve the right to immediately terminate that membership and take such further steps as we consider appropriate.

6. Membership is open to Australian residents only.

7. Maintaining a valid payment method is a condition of Membership. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Membership if your payment method remains invalid for more than 3 consecutive months.

8. If you have more than one payment method saved to your account, we reserve the right to attempt to charge any available payment method if your primary payment method is declined. By saving additional payment methods to your account, you authorise us to do so.

9. Your payment card details are securely captured and stored by our third party payment processor. Card details are tokenised and the billing token is stored on the Site and used to process charges securely through our payment gateway. Our payment processor may receive updated card details, including expiry dates and card numbers, from your financial institution. By saving a payment method to your account, you authorise us to continue charging that payment method using any updated details received.

10. If you pay via PayPal, your payment information is handled entirely and securely by PayPal. We do not access or store your PayPal payment details.

11. You may terminate your Membership at any time with no penalty and no minimum term required. To terminate, visit Account Settings in the Account Details section of your account at www.thewhiskyclub.com.au/my-account. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we handle your personal information following termination of your Membership.

12. We may terminate your Membership at any time if you breach these Terms. Where we do so, we will notify you by email.

1. The Whisky Club operates an opt-out subscription model. By becoming a Member, you are automatically included in each month's purchase cycle unless you actively opt out within the timeframe described in clause 2.3. If you do not opt out, your nominated payment method will be charged and your whisky will be dispatched to your registered delivery address.

2. The Club sends the Whisky of the Month email on the first Friday of each month. This email contains full details of the featured whisky including pricing and may also include other products available for purchase that month.

3. The monthly opt-out window opens at 12:00:01am on the first Friday of each month and closes at 11:59:59pm on the following Sunday (a 72-hour period). During this window you may:
(a) opt out of that month's purchase;
(b) purchase more than your standard subscription quantity (double-up); or
(c) add other available products to your order.
These actions can be completed via the link in the Whisky of the Month email or by logging into your account at https://thewhiskyclub.com.au/my-account. Please contact us immediately if you are unable to access your account during the opt-out window.

4. By becoming a Member, you agree to receive email communications from us, including the monthly Whisky of the Month email. It is your responsibility to ensure that our email addresses (drams@mail.thewhiskyclub.com.au and drams@thewhiskyclub.com.au) are not blocked or filtered by your email provider. Instructions for ensuring deliverability are available in our Help Centre. The Club is not responsible for non-delivery of emails resulting from your email settings or service provider.

By becoming a Member, you also consent to receiving commercial electronic messages from us, including promotional offers, product announcements and event invitations, in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You may withdraw this consent at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism in any marketing email we send you or by contacting us as set out in our Privacy Policy.

5. If you do not opt out during the window described in clause 2.3, your nominated payment method will be charged and your whisky will be delivered to your registered address. See Section 3 (Opt Outs and Refunds) for further detail.

6. The price of the Whisky of the Month varies each month. Current pricing, inclusive of GST, is displayed in the Whisky of the Month email and on the Site. All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD). Postage is charged at the flat rate displayed on the Site at the time of purchase. If you have been charged for an order, we will fulfil that order at the price confirmed at the time of purchase.

7. All bottles are the distillery's standard bottle size as sold in Australia. In most cases this is 700ml. Where a bottle is a non-standard size, the size will be specified on the product page for that whisky.

8. You may purchase additional products outside of the monthly opt-out window at any time by adding items to your cart via your account. Your nominated payment method will be charged at 11:30pm on the day you add items to your cart, and your order will be passed to our warehouse for dispatch the next business day. You may amend or remove items from your cart at any time before 11:30pm on the day of purchase.

1. You may opt out of any month's featured whisky by clicking the opt-out button in your account at https://thewhiskyclub.com.au/my-account during the opt-out window described in clause 2.3. Please contact us immediately if you are unable to access your account during the opt-out window.

2. Upon successfully completing an opt-out, double-up or additional purchase, you will receive a confirmation email from drams@mail.thewhiskyclub.com.au. You may also verify the status of your order by reviewing your order summary in your account. Opt-outs and double-ups reset at the start of each month — you must take action each month if you wish to opt out or double up.

3. It is your responsibility to opt out within the opt-out window described in clause 2.3. There is no penalty for opting out. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your registered email address is current and that our email addresses are not blocked or filtered by your email provider, as set out in clause 2.4.

4. We reserve the right to accept or decline late opt-out requests received after the close of the opt-out window. Where a late opt-out is accepted:
(a) if your order has not yet been processed, the amount charged will be credited to your account; and
(b) if your order has already been processed and dispatched, you will be required to return the bottle to our warehouse at your cost before a credit or refund is applied.
Requests for refunds or credits due to change-of-mind must be submitted within 30 days of the date of purchase. Postage costs are non-refundable for change-of-mind returns. We reserve the right to accept or deny a change-of-mind request. Visit our Help Centre for further details.

5. Nothing in clause 3.4 limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law. Where goods are faulty, not of acceptable quality (which does not include personal dissatisfaction with the taste, character or style of a whisky), or not as described, you may be entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law regardless of whether the opt-out window has closed or the 30-day period has elapsed. In such cases, please contact us at drams@thewhiskyclub.com.au and we will arrange the appropriate remedy, which may include replacement, repair or refund. Where goods must be returned due to a fault or defect, we will cover return postage costs.

1. Unless otherwise stated, and provided you have not opted out within the opt-out window described in clause 2.3, your nominated payment method will be charged on the first Monday following the first Friday of each month. The Club reserves the right to extend the timing of the monthly opt-out window and charging date where the standard schedule falls close to a public holiday period, including Christmas, New Year or Easter. Any variation to the standard schedule will be communicated to Members in advance by email.

2. Successful transactions will be confirmed by tax invoice sent to your registered email address. If your payment is declined, you will be notified by email.

3. If a payment is declined, we will re-attempt to charge your nominated payment method daily for the next five business days or until the relevant stock is sold out, whichever occurs first. It is your responsibility to ensure sufficient funds are available and to update your payment details before your current payment method expires.

4. Zip (formerly Zip Pay) is available on a case-by-case basis for Members whose recurring payment method has been declined. Zip cannot be used as a primary or recurring payment method. We reserve the right to review or withdraw a Member's eligibility to use Zip at any time. By using Zip, you agree to Zip's own terms and conditions, which govern your financial arrangement with Zip directly. We are not a party to and accept no responsibility in connection with your financial arrangements with Zip.

5. We endeavour to forecast and order sufficient Whisky of the Month stock to meet projected Member demand each month. Where demand exceeds available stock, stock will be allocated in the following order of priority:
(a) double subscriptions;
(b) single subscriptions, in order of longest-standing membership; and
(c) double-up requests.
On rare occasions this may mean that not all double-up requests are fulfilled, or that Members who have not opted out do not receive the Whisky of the Month. Where a payment is initially declined and the Whisky of the Month sells out before a subsequent payment attempt is successful, the Whisky of the Month will be removed from the Member's order automatically. If the Member has additional products in their order, only those additional products will be charged. Where possible, we will work with our suppliers to source additional stock for affected Members.

6. Additional products available for purchase during the opt-out window are allocated on a strict first-come-first-served basis. Once available stock is depleted, Members may join a waiting list. If stock becomes available during the opt-out window, it will automatically be added to the Member's order and processed in accordance with clause 4.1.

7. Where a Member Ballot is offered during the opt-out window, available stock is randomly allocated among Members who have entered the Ballot. Successful Members will be notified by email and their order processed in accordance with clause 4.1. If payment cannot be processed within 24 hours of notification, the Ballot allocation will be reallocated to the next eligible Member. This process continues until all available stock is exhausted.

1. We, or our nominated delivery agents, will ship products to the delivery address registered in your account or otherwise nominated by you at the time of purchase. It is your responsibility to ensure your delivery address is current and accurate before each order is processed, as set out in clause 1.2.

2. Postage and handling costs are charged at the flat rate displayed on the Site at the time of purchase and will be charged to your nominated payment method as part of your order total.

3. If you do not receive your order within a reasonable time, please contact us. If an order has not been delivered, or has been delivered to an address other than your registered or nominated delivery address due to an error on our part, we will arrange a replacement shipment at no cost to you. Where a parcel is returned to our warehouse by the carrier (Return to Sender), we will contact you to confirm your delivery address and reship your order to the confirmed address upon receipt.

4. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a replacement and reserve the right to request photographic or other evidence of the damage before doing so.

5. Unless you instruct us otherwise, your order will be dispatched with authority to leave (ATL) the parcel in a safe place if no one is available to accept delivery. By accepting ATL delivery, you acknowledge that:
(a) delivery is made at your risk once the parcel is left at your nominated location;
(b) you are responsible for ensuring the delivery location is safe and secure; and
(c) The Whisky Club is not liable for loss, damage or theft of a parcel after it has been left in accordance with your ATL instructions.

If you prefer to sign for your delivery, or there is no suitable safe place at your delivery address, please contact us and we will request a signature-on-delivery service from our carrier.

6. The Whisky Club holds Liquor Licence 94735. In accordance with applicable liquor licensing laws, alcohol may only be accepted by a person aged 18 years or older. You must not request or permit a person under 18 years of age to accept delivery of any order placed with The Whisky Club.

(b) purchases made for other persons, including additional guests, group members or third parties; or
(c) any other products or categories not specified in clause 16.2.

The Card

6. The Card is not transferable or assignable and may only be used by the Cardholder to whom it is issued.

7. There is no physical card. The Card must be displayed live within the Cardholder's Club Account, showing the current date and time overlay. Screenshots, printouts or any other static reproductions will not be accepted.

8. The Card remains active only for the duration of the Cardholder's active membership. If a membership lapses, is suspended or is cancelled, the Card immediately ceases to be valid.

Variation & Cancellation

9. The Whisky Club reserves the right at any time, at its sole discretion, to:
(a) vary or amend these Terms of the Card program where doing so would be beneficial to you, or where we need to do so to protect our legitimate interests;
(b) add, remove or modify participating venues or applicable discounts in clause 16.2 as a result of changes by participating venues or suppliers; or
(c) suspend or withdraw the Card program entirely, where we need to do so to protect our legitimate interests.

Where practicable, The Whisky Club will provide Members with reasonable notice of material changes via email or through the Club Account.

Miscellaneous

10. The Whisky Club may withdraw, suspend or terminate any Card where a Cardholder is found to have misused the Card or breached these Terms.

11. The Whisky Club's decision on all matters relating to the Card is final, subject to any rights you may have under applicable law.

12. To the extent permitted by law, The Whisky Club is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use or inability to use the Card, including where a participating venue declines to honour the discount. Nothing in this clause excludes any rights you may have as a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law.

As a purchaser and receiver of the gift of a The Whisky Club Membership you agree wholly to the below Terms & Conditions.

1. Gift Memberships can be purchased and redeemed at www.thewhiskyclub.com.au/gifting.

2. Both the gift purchaser and the gift recipient must be 18 years of age or older. By purchasing or redeeming a Gift Membership you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3. Payment for Gift Memberships may be made by the methods available at checkout at the time of purchase.

4. The Gift Membership options available, and their current pricing, are set out on the gifting page at www.thewhiskyclub.com.au/gifting. Available options may include fixed-term memberships and custom amount gift credits. Pricing may be updated from time to time and the current pricing will always be displayed on the gifting page.

5. Upon activation of a Gift Membership, the purchased amount will be credited to the gift recipient's account as store credit, to be applied against the cost of their Whisky of the Month deliveries and any other purchases made through The Whisky Club.

6. The price of the Whisky of the Month varies each month. Current minimum and maximum pricing per delivery, inclusive of delivery, is displayed on the gifting page. Where the monthly whisky price is less than the available credit balance, any remaining credit will be retained in the recipient's account for use against future purchases.

7. Once the available credit balance falls below the minimum threshold required to cover a Whisky of the Month delivery, automatic deliveries may cease until either:
(a) additional credit is added to the account; or
(b) the recipient adds a nominated payment method to their account, in which case the account will be charged for the difference between the available credit and the cost of each delivery.

8. Gift card credit is valid for 36 months from the date of activation, in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law. No fees will be deducted from the gift card balance during this period. Prior to expiry, recipients may request a single 12-month extension by contacting The Whisky Club at drams@thewhiskyclub.com.au. Extension requests must be received before the expiry date and cannot be granted retrospectively. Expired credit that has not been extended cannot be reinstated.

9. Once a payment method has been added to the account, the Membership will continue as an ongoing subscription, charged monthly for the Whisky of the Month, unless the Member opts out for a given month or cancels their Membership. Membership may be cancelled at any time in accordance with The Whisky Club's standard cancellation terms.

10. Gift recipients enjoy all the benefits of full Club Membership, including access to the VIP Card discount program at partner venues and distillery cellar doors, Member pricing for events, and entry into Member competitions.
