We collect personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. That policy applies equally to information collected online, in-store, and at events.

In-store and event collection

We may collect personal information in-store and at events through sign-up forms (paper, tablet, QR code, or verbally via staff). There are two separate opt-ins available to you:

  1. Mailing list — to receive event invitations, newsletters, and promotions.
  2. Amato's Rewards membership — our loyalty program, subject to the additional terms in Part D.

You can opt into one without the other. We will only add you to our mailing list with your explicit consent.

All prices displayed on our websites and in-store are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST unless otherwise stated.

Online payments are processed securely by Stripe. Your card details are collected by Stripe directly and are never stored on our systems. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

Pricing errors

While we take reasonable care to ensure our product descriptions and prices are accurate, errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error in the description or price of a product or service you have ordered, we will contact you as soon as practicable so you can decide whether to proceed with your order at the correct price or receive a full refund.

5. Website content

6. Changes to terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time. When we make changes, we will publish the updated terms on our website and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Where practicable, we will provide advance notice of material changes.

Your continued use of our websites or services after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review these terms periodically.

Electronic transactions

7. Australian Consumer Law guarantees

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled: to cancel your service contract with us; and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done, you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.

Nothing in these terms purports to modify or exclude the conditions, warranties, and undertakings implied by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), Schedule 2 (Australian Consumer Law), and the equivalent state and territory legislation.

School uniform policy

We will not sell alcohol to any person wearing a school uniform, even if that person is 18 years of age or older.

Minors and identification

We take RSA very seriously and want to make sure we only sell alcohol to people of legal drinking age (18+).

By placing an order, you agree to receive electronic communications relating to your order, including order confirmations, dispatch notices, delivery updates, payment reminders, and cancellation notifications. These communications are transactional in nature and are separate from any marketing communications.

We are not obliged to accept any order. We may decline an order for any reason, including (without limitation) product availability, pricing errors, suspected fraud, or failure to meet delivery pre-conditions.

An order is not accepted until we send you an order confirmation by email. Until that time, your order constitutes an offer to purchase only.

23. Product descriptions

We make every effort to ensure that product images, descriptions, and specifications displayed on our website are as accurate as possible. However, actual products may vary in vintage, packaging, label design, or regional availability.

Wine vintages shown on the website are indicative only. Where a listed vintage is unavailable, we may supply the current or most recent available vintage unless you advise us otherwise.

Colours and general appearance of products may also vary due to your screen settings, display resolution, and browser configuration. These variations do not constitute a defect.

24. Retail limits

We reserve the right to set retail purchase limits per customer, per product category, or per order. These limits may change at any time without prior notice.

Orders that exceed applicable limits may be partially cancelled and refunded at our discretion. We will notify you if any items are removed from your order due to retail limits.

We may also impose temporary purchase limits on certain products from time to time, including limited-release or allocated products.

25. Delivery and delivery fees

In these terms, "deliver" and "delivery" include collection under any pick-up option from our nominated location.

We deliver across Australia, subject to the delivery pre-conditions and restricted area provisions set out in Section 26 and Section 34.

Delivery fees are calculated at checkout and displayed before you confirm your order. The applicable fee depends on your delivery address, order weight, and the delivery method you select.

[OWNER] Confirm the delivery fee structure: flat rate, weight-based tiers, or a combination. Insert fee schedule or summary table here.
[OWNER] Confirm whether a free delivery threshold applies (e.g. "Free standard delivery on orders over $X"). If so, specify the threshold amount and any conditions (e.g. metro only, standard delivery only).

26. Delivery address and pre-conditions

You agree that the delivery address is the address you provided at checkout, or any other address we subsequently agree in writing to accept. We will not process a delivery unless all requested delivery details have been provided in full.

It is against the law to sell or supply alcohol to, or to obtain alcohol on behalf of, a person under the age of 18 years.

Products purchased through our online store are for personal consumption only and must not be purchased for the purpose of resale. We may contact you if we have reasonable concerns about the quantity or frequency of your orders.

Restricted areas

We comply with all applicable Commonwealth, state, and territory liquor laws and may decline or cancel delivery to areas where legislation restricts online alcohol delivery, including dry communities and restricted areas. If your delivery address is in a restricted area, we will contact you and offer a refund. See also Section 34 for Northern Territory-specific provisions.

27. Delivery times

We will endeavour to deliver your order within the timeframe nominated and paid for at the time of your order. Estimated delivery times are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed.

You accept that, occasionally, due to circumstances outside our reasonable control — including carrier delays, severe weather, public holidays, or high-demand periods — deliveries may be delayed. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any significant delay.

28. Failed delivery and non-collection

Failed delivery

If delivery fails for any reason, we will return the products to our store or depot and contact you by email or phone. You may arrange another delivery attempt by contacting us.

If we do not hear from you within 5 business days of our notification, we reserve the right to cancel your order and issue a refund.

We may also return products and issue a refund where delivery has failed due to circumstances beyond our control, including an incomplete or incorrect address, inability to access the delivery location, or failure to meet the delivery pre-conditions set out in Section 26.

Non-collection of pick-up orders

For pick-up orders not collected within 7 days of the nominated collection date, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a refund.

To arrange a re-delivery or discuss a failed delivery, contact us at amatos@amatos.com.au.

Circumstances in which we may cancel include (without limitation):

Where we cancel an order, we will process a refund to your original payment method within a reasonable timeframe.

30. Cancellations by you

Australian Consumer Law guarantees

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. If a product is faulty, not as described, or unfit for its intended purpose, you are entitled to a remedy.

Depending on the nature of the failure:

All personal information collected as part of delivery records is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

33. Risk and title

Risk of loss or damage to products passes to you upon delivery, including delivery to unattended locations where you have provided specific delivery instructions authorising such placement.

Title to products and the place of supply occurs at the point where we dispatch the products from our licensed premises. We do not supply alcohol from premises that are not licensed under the applicable liquor legislation.

On refund, title to the relevant products passes back to us.

34. Northern Territory and restricted area orders

If you are a Northern Territory resident or are ordering for delivery to the Northern Territory, the listing of a product on our website does not constitute an offer to sell that product to you.

Additional price checks may be completed before your order is confirmed. The final price may be adjusted to ensure compliance with minimum unit price requirements under the Liquor Act 2019 (NT). If the price increases, we will contact you before processing the order.

We may not deliver to postcodes or communities where liquor restrictions apply under applicable state or territory law. If your delivery address falls within a restricted area, we will contact you and offer a full refund.

35. Promotions and voucher codes

[OWNER] Confirm whether gift cards will be offered and any additional terms, including available denominations, maximum purchase value per card, and any restrictions on purchase channels (online only, in-store only, or both).

Part C — Event bookings

The following additional terms apply when you book tickets to an event hosted or organised by Amato's Liquor Mart (including wine dinners, tastings, and masterclasses). These terms are to be read together with the general terms in Part A.

37. Making an event booking

A booking is confirmed when payment is successfully processed through our payment provider. Each ticket is issued for one named guest.

A booking confirmation will be sent to the email address you provide at checkout. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address is correct. If you do not receive a confirmation within a reasonable time, please contact us at amatos@amatos.com.au.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any booking at our discretion, including where we reasonably believe a booking has been made in breach of these terms, in connection with fraudulent activity, or where age verification requirements cannot be met.

Where a booking is placed with a deferred payment method (such as direct deposit or bank transfer), the booking is provisionally held but is not confirmed until full payment is received and verified by us. A booking confirmation email will be sent once payment is verified.

Payment reminders

If payment has not been received for a provisionally held booking, we will send you a payment reminder by email to the address provided at checkout. This reminder is an automated, transactional communication and is separate from any marketing communications.

If we do not receive full payment within 24 hours of the reminder email being sent, we reserve the right to cancel your booking so that the places can be offered to other customers. You will be notified of any cancellation by email.

By placing a booking, you agree to receive these transactional communications, including booking confirmations, payment reminders, and cancellation notifications.

Card processing surcharge

A card processing surcharge applies to payments made by credit or debit card via Stripe. The surcharge covers the cost of card acceptance and is calculated as a percentage of the order total plus a fixed component. The exact amount is displayed before you confirm your order. No surcharge applies to direct deposit payments.

Event details — including date, time, venue, menu, and featured products — are as described at the time of booking. We may make minor changes to event details (for example, substitution of a wine due to supplier availability) without prior notice, provided the overall nature of the event is not materially altered.

38. Group bookings and guest information

If you make a booking on behalf of other guests, you warrant that:

You are responsible for communicating event details — including any changes notified by us — to all guests in your booking.

You acknowledge that, where it is impracticable for us to collect personal information directly from each guest in a group booking, your provision of their details on their behalf is permitted under APP 3.6 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You should inform the relevant guests that you have provided their information to us and direct them to our Privacy Policy.

Cancellation due to non-payment

Where a booking has been placed with a deferred payment method and full payment is not received by the deadline stated in our payment reminder email, we may cancel the booking. A cancellation notification will be sent to the email address provided at checkout. No refund is payable because no payment was received.

If you believe your booking was cancelled in error, or if you have already made payment, please contact us immediately at amatos@amatos.com.au or (02) 9560 7628.

All options — refund processing

Where a refund is payable, it will be processed to the original payment method within a reasonable timeframe.

If a card processing surcharge was applied to your payment, it will be refunded in full for a full refund, or proportionally for a partial refund, in accordance with card network rules.

To request a cancellation or name change, contact us at amatos@amatos.com.au or (02) 9560 7628.

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary preferences submitted at the time of booking.

If you have a severe allergy, please contact us before booking at amatos@amatos.com.au or (02) 9560 7628 to discuss whether we can safely accommodate your needs.

We accept no liability for allergic reactions where we have made reasonable efforts to accommodate your stated dietary requirements.

42. Event conduct and responsible service of alcohol

All events are conducted in accordance with our obligations under the Liquor Act 2007 (NSW) and the statutory conditions of our on-premises/catering licence. In accordance with our RSA commitment (see Section 9):

No refund will be provided where service is refused or an attendee is removed under these circumstances.

By attending one of our events, you acknowledge and agree to comply with all directions given by our staff in relation to the responsible service of alcohol.

43. Promotional draws

From time to time, we may offer promotional draws or competitions in connection with event bookings. Each promotional draw will be subject to its own specific terms and conditions, which will be published on our website before the draw opens.

55. Program liability

Points have no cash value and do not constitute property. Points do not represent a stored monetary value and cannot be assigned, traded, or bequeathed.

We are not liable for loss of points due to system errors, except where required by the Australian Consumer Law.

The Amato's Rewards program does not create any employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship between Amato's Liquor Mart and its members.

Our total liability in connection with the program is limited to the value of points lost or not credited, calculated at the applicable redemption rate at the time the loss occurred. This limitation does not apply to rights that cannot be excluded under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), Schedule 2 (Australian Consumer Law).
