The Beer Store offers a service via the Website and the App that allows users to reserve products for pick up, by themselves or by a licensed liquor delivery service (“LDS”) on their behalf as agent, in participating Beer Store retail outlets (“Online Order”). Users may access Online Order by visiting the Website or from the App available on both iOS and Android. Users of the Website and/or App may browse from a selection of products, choose products to reserve, pay online for those products and then pickup their Online Order at a participating retail outlet or have them delivered via an LDS.
For Online Orders placed on the Website or App that are paid for by you online, title in the products ordered shall transfer from The Beer Store directly to you once the products making up your online order leaves the physical possession of The Beer Store. For clarity, damage to any of the products making up your Online Order and/or where such products are lost or stolen between the time the LDS picks up the products and the LDS delivers to you, shall be the responsibility of the third-party service provider who dispatched the LDS and shall include all applicable fees.
The following additional terms apply to your use of The Sites.
In order to use online ordering via the Website or App, you can place orders as either a guest ("Guest”), or you can create an account (“Account” or “Accounts”). Accounts will save your preferences and allow you to place future orders more quickly.
You may never use another person’s account for the purposes of placing an Online Order. When creating your Account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, and you must keep your Account password secure. Although The Beer Store will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account, you may be liable for the losses of The Beer Store or others due to such unauthorized use.
The Beer Store strives to provide accurate information about its products, services and any related pricing, but errors may occur. Effective as of September 5th, 2024, the advertised pricing for beer, and ready to drink products will exclude HST and container deposit. At point of sale, HST and applicable container deposit will be added to the final price customer pays. The Beer Store reserves the right to correct any errors in relation to its availability of products, services or regarding pricing and to modify at any time, without prior notice. For Online Orders, The Beer Store cannot confirm prices until after you reserve a product through the online checkout process at which point the final price customer pays including HST and container deposit is stated. Customer will also receive a reservation confirmation by email. Prices quoted are payable in Canadian dollars.
In order to use the Website or App’s pick-up and/or online home delivery service, you will require a valid credit card. The cardholder and the Guest or Account holder must be one and the same person. In order to make a reservation through the Website or App, your credit card information will be collected by our third party payment processor (“Payment Processor”); however, the Payment Processor will only complete the sale and process your credit card once you pick up your reserved product at the specific retail location on pick-up day whether in-store or by curbside pickup, or in the instance where you are placing an Order Online for home delivery, at checkout pending your confirmation of payment. Your credit card will be charged the advertised price in your reservation confirmation and receipt and the same applies to Online Orders for delivery. The terms of sale for your reserved product are those applicable to all in-store purchases as may be supplemented by these Terms and any terms on the confirmation of your reservation and receipt.
Where you place an Online Order on the Website or App for delivery, you will be prompted to provide your contact and delivery information and then prompted to pay for your order online in order for it to be dispatched to an LDS for delivery to you. For the avoidance of doubt, where you provide a tip for the delivery of your Online Order to the LDS, 100% of the tip shall go to the delivery person.
The Website and App, through a Payment Processor collects and authorizes your credit card information making checkout by you at The Beer Store quick and easy. ALTHOUGH USERS OF THE WEBSITE AND APP MAY RESERVE PRODUCT THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR APP, THE PURCHASE AND COLLECTION OF ANY PRODUCT WILL BE CONDUCTED AND COMPLETED SOLELY WITHIN A PARTICIPATING RETAIL LOCATION OF THE BEER STORE.
The Beer Store will send the Guest or Account holder an email to confirm a reservation is ready for in-store or curbside pickup. All reserved product must be picked up prior to the close of business on the pick-up day. Reserved product that is not picked-up by close of business of the pick-up day will be canceled.
The Guest or Account holder must be the individual to pick-up his or her reservation. The Guest or Account holder must not be or appear intoxicated at time of pick-up (determined at the sole discretion of The Beer Store staff at the applicable participating Beer Store location). Guest or Account holder must present a valid, piece of government issued photo identification. The following are items that are accepted at The Beer Store as forms of identification: Passport, Driver’s License with photo, B.Y.I.D Card, Military Issue I.D. with date of birth and photo, Government Issue I.D. with date of birth and photo and Health Card with photo. You will be refused service and your reservation will be cancelled without any liability to The Beer Store if you are not of legal drinking age and/or if you are or appear to be intoxicated.
Through our “We ID 25” program, The Beer Store require that our staff and licensed LDS ask for ID from anyone who appears to be 25 years old or younger. However it’s not just minors that we are watching out for – we will refuse services to those who appear to be intoxicated. In 2023, almost 1.5 million customers were asked for age identification or challenged for intoxication and approximately 22,419 individuals were refused service.
The Beer Store is proud of our long history as partners of arrive alive DRIVE SOBER® ( http://www.arrivealive.org ) program, which encourages drivers to plan ahead, drink responsibly, use designated drivers, take cabs or stay overnight.
The Beer Store does not itself deliver products to home consumers and does not charge any fees for reservation services rendered. By completing a reservation through the Website or App, the Guest or Account holders authorizes The Beer Store to forward the reservation, through a third-party technology service provider, to an LDS licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to deliver liquor to home consumers.
At confirmation of your reservation, payment for your Online Order including tip at customer’s discretion is collected by The Beer Store when you place an order directly on the Website or App. For greater certainty, the assigned LDS must be the individual who picks-up reserved products making up an Online Order. The LDS must not be intoxicated at time of pick-up (determined at the sole discretion of The Beer Store staff at the applicable participating Beer Store location) and must provide identification matching the LDS assigned to the reservation and receiving the Online Order from the customer.
Upon delivery of the reserved product, the Guest or Account holder must be the individual who made the reservation, must not be or appear to be intoxicated and present a valid, piece of government issued photo identification. The following are items that are accepted at Beer Store as forms of identification: Passport, Driver’s License with photo, B.Y.I.D Card, Military Issue I.D. with date of birth and photo, Government Issue I.D. with date of birth and photo and Health Card with photo. You will be refused service and your reservation and delivery will be cancelled without any liability to The Beer Store or the LDS if you are not of legal drinking age and/or if you are or appear to be intoxicated. Guest or Account Holder shall be responsible for all applicable delivery fees and shall not be entitled to a refund of such, due to order cancellation, if it is determined that they are not present to receive the order, not the legal drinking age, and/or found to be intoxicated.
The privacy and security of your personal information is important to The Beer Store.
