When you order, it is an offer to purchase from a Licensee. 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 Licensee at that time. The Licensee reviews your order and decides whether to accept it. If the Licensee decides to accept your order, they will charge your payment card for the purchase amount (plus any additional service fees) and arrange for the delivery, pick-up, or shipment.

Title to, and ownership of, all alcohol beverages passes from a Licensee to the purchaser at the warehouse and state it is purchased in and the purchaser takes all responsibility for shipping it from the warehouse to his/her home state.
