1. Introduction

Welcome to FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com (the “FW&GS website”), an e-commerce store owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (“PLCB”). As the primary wholesaler and retailer of wine and spirits products in Pennsylvania, the PLCB is committed to providing exceptional service to and more convenience for its customers. As part of this commitment, the PLCB makes many wine and spirits products or items available for purchase through the FW&GS website. The PLCB also owns and operates various mobile sites, services, applications, and platforms (collectively, “FW&GS mobile platforms”), which are linked to the FW&GS website, to provide even greater convenience for customers. Your use of the FW&GS website and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s) are governed by these Terms of Use. By using the FW&GS website and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s), you acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of these Terms of Use, and you agree to be legally bound by such Terms of Use. 

2. Scope of Terms of Use

These Terms of Use define the conditions and requirements applicable to all use of FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. The PLCB reserves the right to use separate terms and conditions with regards to special programs, events, or services offered to customers. If used, any separate terms and conditions will be posted to FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. Any separate terms and conditions posted to FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms will incorporate these Terms of Use by reference, and, unless specifically stated otherwise, will be supplemented by these Terms of Use.

4. Age Restriction

Pursuant to applicable laws, the PLCB is strictly prohibited from marketing, selling, or furnishing alcoholic beverages to anyone under the age of 21. It is also unlawful for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase or possess alcoholic beverages in Pennsylvania. By using FWGS.com and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s), you are certifying to the PLCB that you are at least 21 years of age and legally authorized to purchase and possess alcoholic beverages. 

5. User Accounts

In order to purchase any product(s) or items(s) using FWGS.com and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s), you will be asked to create a customer account. You are responsible for updating, managing, and ensuring the accuracy of information supplied relative to your customer account at all times.

The use of fraudulent or fictitious accounts is strictly prohibited. The PLCB reserves the right to cancel or terminate user accounts at any time and for any reason. The PLCB may, in its discretion, provide customers with the option of checking out as a guest, instead of creating a customer account.

6. Communications/Notices

When you use FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms, you are communicating electronically with the PLCB. As such, you consent to receiving electronic communications and notices, including but not limited to, order and shipping confirmations from the PLCB. The PLCB will communicate with you via email or by posting notices to FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. You hereby agree that such communications will satisfy any legal requirement that information pertaining to your use of FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms be communicated to you in writing. You also agree that it is your responsibility to open and read all communications or notices that are sent to you related to your use of FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. You further agree that you are always responsible for providing accurate contact information and managing your email accounts to ensure that electronic communications and notices can be received. 

7. Product or Item Availability

The PLCB has the sole discretion to determine what products or items to make available for sale on FWGS.com and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s). Availability of products or items on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms may differ from availability of products or items in physical Fine Wine & Good Spirits locations operated by the PLCB (“FW&GS physical store locations”). All products or items offered for sale on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms are subject to availability at the time of placing an order. Product or item availability is subject to change without notice. Product age statements, proofs, bottle shapes and bottle shot label images may vary from online and in-store due to available inventory. 

Certain products or items advertised on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms are available only through special order. These are products or items that are not regularly stocked or maintained within the PLCB’s inventory, but which suppliers have expressed a general willingness to make available for purchase upon request through FWGS.com and/or mobile platforms. The PLCB may also be able to work with suppliers to help facilitate the purchase of wine or spirit products or items that are not advertised or listed anywhere on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms through special order. To make a product request, complete the Product Request Form or contact the Special Order Department at ra-lbslo@pa.gov or 1-800-332-7522, ext. 1.

Fulfillment of any special order is subject to approval by the supplier(s) of the product(s) or item(s) requested, and the availability of the product(s) or item(s) requested may vary at any given time based on supplier-controlled inventories. The PLCB will attempt to facilitate the fulfillment of all special orders. However, the PLCB makes no guarantees regarding the willingness or ability of any supplier to fulfill special orders, and the PLCB is not responsible for any harm or inconvenience that may result from a supplier’s inability or refusal to fulfill special orders under any circumstances. 

8. Favorites

The PLCB may, at its sole discretion, restrict which products can be added to a customer’s favorites. The restriction may be necessary when particular products or items have limited quantities or limited availability. 

9. Product or Item Pricing

The PLCB, to the extent authorized by law, has the sole authority to determine the retail prices for any wine and spirits product(s) or item(s) that it sells. The advertised retail price for any wine or spirits product(s) or item(s) made available for sale through FWGS.com and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s) will reflect the final retail sales price prior to the imposition of applicable sales tax. Except for sales tax and delivery fees, all other taxes or fees that the PLCB is authorized and/or required by law to assess are included within the retail price of each product or item. Persons or businesses licensed by the PLCB to sell alcoholic beverages in Pennsylvania, to the extent authorized by law, are entitled to receive a 10 percent discount off the advertised retail prices of any wine or spirits product(s) or items(s), except for special orders. The PLCB reserves the right to make modifications or corrections to product or item pricing at any time. 

Special orders are subject to supplier-imposed freight fees (i.e., handling fees), which may be imposed at the discretion of each supplier. These freight fees, if imposed by the supplier, are included as part of the advertised retail price of the special order product(s) or item(s) appearing on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. Such fees will be separated out at the time of checkout to reflect that they were excluded from the calculation of any markup or taxes, as required by law. Special orders are also subject to the possible imposition of a surcharge, at the discretion of each supplier, to account for having to process single bottle orders when the supplier otherwise requires a minimum quantity purchase. This surcharge, if imposed, must be built into the supplier’s fully loaded bottle cost for the special order product(s) or item(s) when presented for listing with the PLCB; as such, this surcharge is not separately reflected at the time of checkout or otherwise. Pursuant to applicable law, licensees are not entitled to receive a 10 percent discount for special orders. 

10. Pricing Errors

The PLCB is not responsible for any typographical errors or incorrect prices appearing on FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms relative to any products, items, or services. Errors will be corrected when and where discovered. The PLCB reserves the right to reject or cancel orders placed for any product(s), item(s), or service(s) advertised at an incorrect price or involving rebates, sales, or promotions containing incorrect information or typographical errors. The PLCB reserves the right to reject or cancel any such order, regardless of whether your order has been confirmed and/or your credit card has been charged. If your credit card was charged and your order is subsequently rejected or canceled, the PLCB will issue a credit back to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Your banking or credit card institution will control when the amount is credited to your account. 

11. Limited Quantities and Other Restrictions

From time to time, the PLCB may, at its discretion, place limits on the quantity of wine or spirits products or items that may be purchased per customer, household, licensee, and/or license. The imposition of quantity limits sometimes becomes necessary when the demand for particular products or items is greater than the available supply and provides a mechanism by which the PLCB can attempt to more equitably distribute those products or items. Regardless of whether notice of a quantity limit was previously posted, the PLCB reserves the right to modify, reject, or cancel orders that exceed any applicable quantity limit that is imposed. Additionally, the PLCB reserves the right to cancel orders at any time and for any reason, including suspected attempts by individual customers or groups of customers working together to circumvent quantity limits or other restrictions whether done through an automated scheme or otherwise. The original order and duplicate order(s) placed in violation of a quantity limit may be automatically canceled. 

Similarly, the PLCB may, within its discretion, restrict sales of products to Pennsylvania residents who have a Pennsylvania billing address and/or to qualifying licensees. Notice of any such restrictions will be posted at the time of the product offering in the product expert notes. If an order is placed in violation of such restrictions, it will be automatically canceled. 

12. Sales Tax

All sales made by the PLCB are subject to the applicable state sales tax (currently six percent), as well as any applicable local sales tax, in effect at the time of the transaction. The applicable state and local sales tax will be calculated and added to orders at the time of checkout. Please note that shipping and handling fees for wine and spirits products or items, except supplier-imposed freight fees for special orders, are subject to sales tax. 

Gift cards are not subject to sales tax; however, gift card shipping fees ($1) per shipping envelope, which may include up to 10 gift cards, are subject to sales tax. 

Certain entities, as provided for by law, are exempt from paying state sales tax. Tax-exempt purchases must be made at a FW&GS physical store location, and entities seeking to obtain an exemption will be required to present proper documentation and identification. Tax-exempt purchases cannot be processed through FWGS.com and/or FW&GS mobile platforms. To make tax-exempt special order purchases, please contact the Special Order Department at ra-lbslo@pa.gov or 1-800-332-7522, ext. 1. Please note that if a tax-exempt entity is also the holder of a license or permit issued by the PLCB, then, pursuant to applicable law, such entity is not entitled to receive an exemption from the state sales tax for purchases of wine and spirits, unless it is a government entity.

13. Order Acceptance/Processing

The posting or advertisement of any product(s), item(s), or service(s) for sale on FWGS.com and/or any FW&GS mobile platform(s) is an opportunity for you to submit an order to purchase the product(s), item(s), or service(s) at the posted or advertised price(s). Your submission of an order relative to any product(s), item(s), or service(s) will be considered an offer to purchase the product(s), item(s), or service(s) at the posted or advertised price(s). Your order or offer to purchase the product(s), item(s), or service(s) at the advertised price(s) will not be considered accepted until the item(s), product(s), or service(s) are shipped to a home address, business address, or FW&GS physical store location, or are otherwise delivered to you. The PLCB reserves the right to reject or cancel an order at any time for any reason. In most instances where an order is rejected or cancelled, such rejection or cancellation will occur prior to your credit card being charged. However, if the PLCB rejects or cancels your order after your credit card has already been charged, the PLCB will issue a credit back to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Your banking or credit card institution will control when the amount is credited to your account. 

Any adult (age 21 or older) named as an authorized pick-up person must present ID to pick up the order. Delivery services may not pick orders up unless they are licensed as transporters-for-hire and the name of the pickup person is specified at checkout in the authorized pick-up person field. Any order not providing the name of a person as an authorized pick-up person may be canceled and not fulfilled.

For any order that is submitted, you will receive an order confirmation indicating that your order has been received. (As explained above, this order confirmation does not constitute the PLCB’s acceptance of your order or offer to purchase the product(s), item(s), or service(s) at the advertised price(s).) Orders may be split and shipped in multiple packages originating from different fulfillment centers at separate times. Once each portion of your order ships, your credit card is charged, and you will receive subsequent notifications providing updates as to the status of your order, including when each portion of your order has shipped. 

For special orders, suppliers have seven calendar days to notify the PLCB as to whether they can fulfill the order. If a supplier fails to notify the PLCB within this timeframe or responds back that it is unable to fulfill the special order, then your order will be cancelled, and your credit card will not be charged. You will be given notice of any cancelled order. Suppliers have up to 30 calendar days following approval of a special order to make it available for pickup at a FW&GS physical store location. Your credit card will not be charged for a special order until the supplier notifies the PLCB that your order has been prepared and is ready for shipment.

The resale of wine or spirits products or items by anyone else is strictly prohibited. Anyone suspected of violating this prohibition will be reported to the Pennsylvania State Police, Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement.
