BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.

SECTION 1. MINIMUMAGE REQUIREMENT

The Sites are intended for use by adults aged 21 or older and if you use the Sites, you represent and warrant that you are at least twenty-one (21) years of age and that the recipient of any alcoholic beverage purchase you may make is at least 21 years of age. In no event shall you use the Sites nor the Services, nor make a purchase or purchase a gift for someone else if you are under the age of 21, nor may you do any of the foregoing activities for the benefit, or on behalf, of any person under the age of 21. We may refuse to register any person, or service any order at any time, in our sole discretion.  

In accordance with these minimum age requirements, you hereby represent that you are legally entitled to take possession of the alcoholic beverages in the quantities ordered, and you are of legal purchase age under applicable laws.See Section 4 regarding age verification requirements at the time of delivery.

SECTION 2. SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

Our role in the transactions contemplated by these Terms and Conditions is that of a marketing and service provider that enables you, the Customer, to purchase alcohol and related products from Licensed Retailers via the Sites (“Services), and to participate in the Services and/or any other product offers offered on the Sites. The sale and delivery of orders are executed and fulfilled by licensed third-party retailers that hold valid licenses issued by state alcohol beverage agencies allowing for the legal sale of alcohol ("Licensed Retailers”). You acknowledge that you are purchasing alcoholic beverages from a Retailer licensed in the state in which it is licensed, and not from Speakeasy. Thus, all orders of alcohol and related products you place through the use of the Sites are processed and fulfilled by such Licensed Retailers, as the actual sellers of the Products. Any purchase you make through the use of the Sites from the Licensed Retailers must be for personal consumption only and not for resale. In the unlikely event that a particular product is unavailable at time of shipping, the Licensed Retailer may substitute a product of similar style and of equal or greater value in your shipment.

SECTION 3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

To use the Services, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information, or PII, such as your name, address, phone number, shipping address, email address, date of birth, and payment information (collectively, the "PII") as well as a password in order to make a purchase and create a personal account with us (an "Account"). Please be sure to protect the confidentiality of the password you create for your Account. Please review our Privacy Policy regarding the PII we collect, use and share, and the terms of such collection, use and sharing. You are responsible for, and agree to pay promptly, all charges to your Account including applicable taxes and purchases by you or anyone you allow to use your Account. You represent and warrant that all PII you provide in connection with registering your Account is complete, accurate and non-fraudulent, and that you are authorized to use the method of payment you provide in connection with your use of the Services. We reserve the right to contact the service provider of your method of payment to conduct fraud or security checks. You acknowledge and agree that you may never use another customer's Account without their prior approval. You also agree to review and update your Account as and when necessary to maintain the most current PII.

SECTION 4. ORDERS, SHIPPING, AND DELIVERY

If you are an adult over the age of 21, you may make an offer to purchase alcoholic beverages or associated non-alcoholic merchandise (the “Products”) using the Sites from the Licensed Retailers.  Prices displayed on the Sites are not controlled by Speakeasy, and are subject to change without notice at any time. Licensed Retailers may choose to accept or reject any offer to purchase the Products due to lack of availability, inability to verify your age, or any other reason. If your offer to purchase the Products is declined in full or in part for any reason, you will receive a refund for any portions of your order that are declined by the Licensed Retailer.

Unless otherwise indicated at the time of your purchase, shipping and handling fees are NOT included with your order and such fees will be added on to the price of your purchased products. Shipping dates and/or arrival times given are only estimates. Refunds are at the sole discretion of Speakeasy Co.

All deliveries must be signed for by an individual who is capable of proving that he or she is 21 years of age or older by providing a valid form of identification at the time of delivery. If there is no individual 21 years of age or older to accept the delivery, the delivery will not be able to be completed at that time. After three failed delivery attempts, the package will be returned to us and your credit card will be charged an additional shipping fee in order to receive the package.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery for any reason, including without limitation, the failure to verify age at the time of delivery. Packages cannot and will not be left unattended for any reason.

SECTION 5. TITLE AND OWNERSHIP

Title to, and ownership of, all alcohol passes from a Licensed Retailer to you in the state where the Retailer is licensed, and you are assuming all responsibility for the shipping of the product to your home state. You are directing Speakeasy to act as your agent to arrange for your purchase of the alcohol on-site at the retailer’s premises or facilities as though you were making an in-person purchase for personal consumption and/or use at that time.  You are also directing Speakeasy to arrange for the transportation of the alcoholic beverage via a common carrier, and we are acting as an agent on your behalf to have the product delivered to your address. By utilizing this service from Speakeasy, you are fully responsible for ensuring that the purchase, transportation, and delivery to your designated address complies with all local and state laws. Further, you are responsible for obtaining any required permits, authorizations, or approvals to purchase and accept delivery of the products and for paying any required fees. As a result, title and risk of loss or damage for such products will pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. Further, you acknowledge and agree that your purchase of alcohol (including, Products) through the Site is for personal consumption and not for resale.

SECTION 6. PAYMENT

Your credit or debit card will be charged immediately upon checkout. We will not process orders that attempt to use an incorrect, expired, or over-the-limit credit card. However, in the event such an order is processed, we reserve the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed to us. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due or if a redelivery fee or restocking fee is imposed, we may charge such amount directly to the credit card identified in your Account and may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, including your subscription. You shall be responsible and liable for any fees, including attorneys' fees and collection costs, that we may incur in our efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you. Your right to use the Services is subject to limits established by us and/or by your credit card issuer.

We use a third party payment service in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, you grant Speakeasy Co. the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which may change from time to time; you agree that Speakeasy Co. will not be responsible for any failures of the third party payment service to adequately protect such information. All financial matters regarding your information are subject to the conditions of the third party payment service provider's terms of service. You acknowledge that we may change the third party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.

SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM

In order to start a periodic subscription, you must register as a member on the Sites. To register, you can simply provide the information required in our registration forms, which can be accessed through the Sites. All information that you provide to us is subject to the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for keeping your registration information accurate and up-to-date.

If you are a member of a periodic subscription, each period, among other things and depending on the specifics of the then-current subscription offering, a Licensed Retailer may ship you a package with the then-current subscription items (e.g., samples of Products, other samples, merchandise, recipes, instructions, and/or other ingredients) (a "Subscription Program"). Each period of your subscription, the selection of Products may change. Accordingly, Speakeasy Co. cannot guarantee that a selection of any such products available in a particular timeframe will be available in any subsequent timeframe.

The periodic subscription terms incorporate the terms of the particular periodic subscription package, as described in the subscription and checkout pages of the Sites. See the subscription page for a description of the current subscriptions and prices on the Sites. Note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a paid subscription are deemed part of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL

If you purchase a periodic subscription (as described in Section 7), you acknowledge and consent to being charged a recurring payment and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges (including the subscription fee for the subsequent renewal term and any sale or similar taxes that may be imposed on your subscription payment) prior to the cancellation of your membership. Your subscription will be automatically renewed for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription period originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate, for an indefinite time until cancelled by you or us.

You may cancel your subscription service at any time by submitting your request to cancel, along with your name and account email through the Site. Each subscription automatically renews following the end of the previous period’s subscription. You must submit your request to cancel through the Site prior to the end of the subscription period to cancel the subscription and the next period’s shipment.

All cancellation requests received after the end of the subscription period will apply to the following subscription period. No prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period will be given.

IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR PERIODIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR RENEWING THE SUBSCRIPTION. UPON RENEWAL OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, IF SPEAKEASY DOES NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDER, (A) YOU AGREE TO PAY ALL AMOUNTS DUE ON YOUR ACCOUNT UPON DEMAND AND (B) YOU AGREE THAT SPEAKEASY MAY EITHER CANCEL OR SUSPEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDER UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED (UPON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE ACTIVATED AND FOR PURPOSES OF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL, YOUR NEW SUBSCRIPTION COMMITMENT PERIOD WILL BEGIN AS OF THE DAY PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED).

We may terminate your membership, without notice, for any reason. If we terminate your membership or periodic subscription, we will refund prorated fees you paid for the periodic subscription that you have not yet received. You can re-subscribe at any time but we reserve the right to not permit re-subscription where you have previously elected to terminate a subscription by you.

SECTION 21. ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS

WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO A DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY THAT INCLUDES (1) A REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY, INCLUDING ALL STATUTORY CLAIMS AND ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CLAIMS,THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR YOUR USE OF THE SITES OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES; AND (2) A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION, TRIAL BY JURY, OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING,IN ORDER TO SETTLE YOUR DISPUTE.

You and Speakeasy agree that in the event of any dispute between us, each party will, in the first instance, notify the other party of the intent to initiate a formal proceeding in writing (the “Notice”). The parties shall attempt to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, any provision of the agreement or the breach thereof by good faith negotiations between the parties, and shall not initiate a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days from the date of the other party’s receipt of the Notice.

ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO,CALIFORNIA. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS PURSUANT TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPEDITED PROCEDURES IN THOSE RULES.

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this agreement, there shall be no interrogatories or requests to admit. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate.  Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator.  

The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to make errors of law and any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim and the award, including any award of costs, expenses or interest, shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based.

The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to collect its reasonable costs, expenses, and interest (including reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitration fees, and other such costs). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not prevent parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

IN ANY ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ARBITRATOR(S) ARE NOT EMPOWERED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EXCEPT WHERE PERMITTED BY STATUTE, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT AWARD ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS.

The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as maybe necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

YOU AND SPEAKEASY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUROR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPEAKEASY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

If a court refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, this entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable and any claims brought on behalf of a putative class will proceed in court.

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if we are suffering irreparable harm arising out of or related to your use of the Sites, we are not precluded from bringing an action or claim with respect thereto before the appropriate federal or state court located in the county of San Diego, California, and you consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such court related to any such action or claim.
