For liquor, an agreement exists between you and Liquorland once the Order for liquor is accepted by Liquorland at its licensed premises, and payment is processed. Each Order is a separate Agreement.
    3. CUSTOMER APPLICATIONAccurate information: Information provided by you in your application must be accurate and complete. You must inform The Farmer’s Gate if there’s a change to your details.

      Delivery area: Orders for delivery to addresses that are not in the The Farmer’s Gate delivery area can’t be processed. We’ll let you know if your Delivery Address ceases to be in an area where The Farmer’s Gate delivers Goods.

      Wholesale Customers: Customers wishing to set up a wholesale account can email admin@farmers-gate.com. Wholesale customers will be bound by these conditions, but will also be bound by the additional terms specific to business customers that will be provided at the time of setting up a wholesale account.

    4. ORDERS, DELIVERY AND COLLECTION OF GOODSLate cancellation fee: If you cancel an Order after the order cut off time, The Farmer’s Gate may charge you and you must pay a late cancellation fee.

      Delivery: The Farmer’s Gate will deliver the Goods to you at the Delivery Address within the time agreed with you. The Farmer’s Gate won’t commit to delivery beyond the front door of your home or office building. ‘Front door’ means the front door or a point beyond which entry into the interior of the building occurs. If you request The Farmer’s Gate to deliver the Goods beyond your front door and we agree that it is practical to do so, you agree to continually indemnify and hold harmless The Farmer’s Gate (including its officers, employees, contractors and agents) from any Loss suffered or incurred through the delivery of the Goods beyond your front door. ‘Loss’ means any loss including any liability, cost, expense, claim, proceeding, action, demand or damage.

      Order collection: Customers may opt for collection of orders from The Farmer’s Gate. A pickup time must be specified in the order request. Collection of Orders are only available during our regular opening hours for the collection time you requested at the time of ordering. Orders not collected may incur a cancellation fee.

      Authorised receipt of Goods: Anyone at the Delivery Address (or upon collection) who receives the Goods shall be presumed by The Farmer’s Gate to be authorised to receive the Goods. If the Order contains alcohol or tobacco products, The Farmer’s Gate may request evidence that they are 18 years or older. If the person receiving the Goods is unable or unwilling to provide satisfactory evidence of proof of age, The Farmer’s Gate may refuse to deliver the Goods. The Farmer’s Gate may refuse to provide liquor to a person who is intoxicated or disorderly.

      Additional delivery fee: If there’s no one at the Delivery Address or no one of appropriate age to receive, sign and pay for the Order when the Goods are delivered, the Goods won’t be left at the Delivery Address. We’ll endeavour to contact you and may charge an additional delivery fee. A cancellation fee may also apply.

      Minimum order value: The Farmer’s Gate may from time to time set a minimum order value. The minimum order value excludes any Delivery Fee. The Farmer’s Gate may decide to accept an order which is below the minimum order value. Doing this in one instance won’t oblige The Farmer’s Gate to accept an order which is below the minimum order value at any other time.

    5. RISK AND TITLE IN THE GOODSRisk and title in the Goods passes to you upon delivery or collection and payment for the Goods, either at the Delivery Address or Click & Collect outlet.
    6. CREDITS AND REFUNDSYou can make a claim for a refund or credit if:
      1. you believe that Goods we charged you for were not provided; or
      2. there is a fault or defect with the Goods you have purchased.

      Email admin@farmers-gate.com to lodge your claim. We’ll assess your claim and are happy to offer a credit or refund for any missing or faulty Goods.

      The Farmer’s Gate won’t pick up any Goods that you don’t accept and that you have not returned with the customer service agent (or team member at The Farmer’s Gate location). However we may need to inspect the Goods before making an assessment, therefore please keep them until we advise they can be discarded.

      Credit for the value of any Goods that are validly sent back with the customer service agent (or The Farmer’s Gate team member upon collection) or credits applied for any other reason (including customer care or promotional activity), will be applied to your next Order as long as the Order is worth more than the credit. The Farmer’s Gate credit is valid for one year from the date of issue. You can check the expiry date or balance of your credits by emailing admin@farmers-gate.com.
