7. Whisky Ballots 

WPD Ballot T&CS

Following the experience we’ve had with high demand for some of our more limited bottlings we’ve decided that, for our smaller releases of Wire Works Whisky, operating a ballot is probably the fairest way for all of our followers to get an equitable opportunity to purchase. Purchases through the ballot will be restricted to one bottle per person, and we hope the ballot will lend support to those that want to enjoy our whisky and discourage people from on-selling via auction. White Peak Distillery (“WPD”) is delighted to be working with its friends at Bevvy to deliver the ballot process via the Bevvy App, which should provide a seemless user experience.

What you need to do

Register an account with the Bevvy App and then look out for push notifications through the App that a ballot for Wire Works Whisky has started.

Once notified you’ll have a window of time (2 or 3 days) to enter the ballot and register your interest in purchasing a bottle of the relevant Wire Works Whisky release.

You should identify via the check boxes on the ballot entry form whether you fit into one of the stated categories e.g. shareholder or cask owner, etc (which we will validate as part of the ballot process). These categories will mean that the probability of success in any ballot will not be the same for everyone, albeit the weightings will always give all English whisky enthusiasts a fair chance.

You will not be asked for any payment imprint at the ballot entry stage.

The Ballot process

On the published day that ballot registration closes, WPD draw the winners at random and those that are successful (‘winners’) will be notified via the App on the same day.

Winners will be sent a notification of success along with a payment form.  Winners will have 24 hours to make payment via the App and confirm delivery address details. Any winners’ bottles which remain unpaid for after 24 hours will be put back into the ballot to give others a second chance (and so on) until all bottles available in the ballot have been allocated and paid for.

Ballot terms & conditions

WPD will have sole responsibility for, and jurisdiction over, drawing ballot winners (and any required replacements). WPD reserves the right to cancel ballot orders if subsequent validation identifies that a customer has bought more than the maximum number of bottles available for purchase by one person, or has fabricated any information requested as part of the ballot registration. The decision of WPD will be final.

In entering the ballot you confirm that you are above the legal age for consuming alcohol in your country of residence.  Ballot entry winners may not combine the ballot purchase with any other WPD products.

Once payments are actioned by winners (or their replacements) then WPD will immediately package up bottles and book in despatch with couriers, and it will not be possible to alter delivery addresses or delay, or defer delivery.

Winners can expect to receive their bottles within 7 days of the winning notification date and will receive an email to confirm when it’s been despatched.

Damaged bottles

If a bottle is damaged during delivery, please contact WPD within 48 hours on shop@whitepeakdistillery.co.uk with photos evidencing the damage and we will review the circumstances.  Please note that if we ask you to return the bottle we will also require the packaging to be returned. For requested returns where WPD has agreed in writing that damage occurred during delivery (Agreed Damage), WPD will cover the costs of return. Where possible we will try and replace a bottle with Agreed Damage with an equivalent bottle but can’t guarantee that any such replacement will be available and in such cases we will instead offer a full refund.

General returns

Our general returns policy lasts 28 days from the date of purchase, in line with consumer regulations. If more than 28 days has gone by since your purchase, then unfortunately we can’t offer you an exchange or refund.

To be eligible for a return, your item / bottle must be unused / unopened and in the same condition that you received it, in the original delivery packaging. To complete your return, we’ll need proof of purchase. If you wish to get a refund on a product you have purchased from WPD then please get in touch in writing on shop@whitepeakdistillery.co.uk and we will provide more information on how to return your product. We strongly advised returns to be sent back to us with tracking and appropriate insurance, and you should also append your senders details (and enclose your email).  You will be responsible for the cost of returning the product to WPD.

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment (please note that the original postage & packing costs are non-refundable and will be deducted from any approved refund we process). The refund may take a few days to clear depending upon method of payment.  If you haven’t received your refund within 7 days then, after checking with your bank, please let us know in writing on shop@whitepeakdistillery.co.uk.

We only replace items if they are defective or damaged, as above.

We reserve the right to modify these terms & conditions without notice.
