General Terms

By submitting an order request through Vine Drop (“Vine Drop”), via the Vine Drop Text Message Service (“the Text Service”) or the Vine Drop Website (“the Site”), you agree to be bound by the following Vine Drop ("Vine Drop", "we", "us" or the "Company") Terms.

Vine Drop may, in its sole discretion, revise the Terms Of Service from time to time, and it is your responsibility to review the Vine Drop Terms Of Service each time you submit an order request through the Text Service or Site. Your continued use of the Vine Drop Text Service or Site, or your submission of an order request through Vine Drop, constitutes your agreement to any such modifications.

1. How Vine Drop Text Service and Order Requests Work

Message & data rates may apply while using Vine Drop. You may opt-out of text message wine offers at any time by replying to a message with "STOP".

Order requests submitted through Vine Drop are not fulfilled by Vine Drop. Vine Drop does not sell, offer to sell, solicit, or fulfill sales of alcohol. Vine Drop has partnered with third-party licensed Retailers (“Retailer”) who sell alcohol through Vine Drop. This Retailer will be the sole party responsible for the sale of alcoholic beverages to you. The Retailer is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Vine Drop service enables you to purchase alcohol and other products available for sale by licensed alcohol retailers that use our text message/e-commerce service. The service is not meant to facilitate any improper furnishing of inducements by any manufacturer, importer, supplier, wholesaler or distributor of alcohol beverages to any retailer of alcoholic beverages or to facilitate any improper exclusionary practices by any alcohol beverage licensee. When Vine Drop shares with you details of a product, the service shows you its availability, price and other information provided by the retailers that service your location. Our service may be limited or not available at all in some places due to local law or other restrictions. When you order, it is an offer to purchase from a Retailer. The total purchase amount (plus any additional service fees) may be authorized by your payment card company, but your offer is not accepted by the Retailer at that time. The Retailer reviews your order and decides whether to accept it. If the Retailer decides to accept your order, they will charge your payment card for the purchase amount (plus any additional service fees) and arrange for the shipment per these Vine Drop Terms of Service and per Retailer policies. The Retailer may reject the order request for any reason, including, but not limited to: inadequate inventory, errors in pricing, compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, or any reason stated in Retailer’s policies. Consult the Retailer’s policies for further information. Title to, and ownership of, all alcohol beverages passes from a licensed Retailer to the purchaser, and the purchaser takes all responsibility for shipping it from the warehouse to his/her home state. By arranging for transportation of the alcohol beverages, Vine Drop LLC is providing a service to and acting on behalf of the purchaser. By utilizing this service from Vine Drop LLC, the purchaser is representing that he/she is acting in a fashion compliant with his/her local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation and delivery of alcohol beverages. The purchaser represents that he/she has obtained any required permission, paid any required fees, is working through properly licensed intermediaries where required, is legally entitled to take possession of alcoholic beverages and is legally entitled to take quantities ordered and authorizes that he/she is 21 years of age. These Vine Drop Terms Of Service govern your relationship with Vine Drop, but you must consult the Retailer’s website for additional terms, conditions, or policies that may apply to your relationship with and your purchase from the Retailer. Submitting an order request through Vine Drop constitutes your agreement to any and all applicable Retailer policies.

2. Retailer Right to Refuse

A licensed Retailer or their delivery provider may refuse to deliver your order if they believe that furnishing alcohol to you or the person accepting the delivery on your behalf is illegal, unsafe or inappropriate. If a delivery cannot be made for this or any other reason, you may be charged a restocking fee. Subsequent delivery attempts are at the discretion of the Retailer and are subject to redelivery fees. A retailer may refuse, cancel or adjust your order for any reason.

3. Cancellation of Your Order Request

If you wish to cancel your order, you must notify Vine Drop within twenty-four (24) hours of submitting your order request by contacting us through email at hello@vinedrop.co. Cancellation requests received by Vine Drop on Saturday and Sunday may not be processed until the following business day.

Requests for cancellation outside of this twenty-four (24) hour period may be considered by the Retailer at their sole discretion. Orders that have already shipped cannot be cancelled, even if you notify Vine Drop within twenty-four (24) hours of submitting your order request. Accordingly, contact Vine Drop through email at hello@vinedrop.co as soon as possible if you wish to cancel. Consult the Retailer’s policies for further information.

We recommend providing a business or commercial address for the shipping address.

The Retailer may hold the shipment of your wine during extreme weather conditions. The Retailer will inform Vine Drop of the weather hold request, and Vine Drop will contact the purchaser with this update. The Retailer may have an option that allows the customer to pay an additional cost for expedited shipping or ice packs.
