Uncorked may allow third parties to offer goods or services on the Website.

However, Uncorked does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any product information, and you acknowledge and agree that you purchase such products at your own risk.
We do not sell, offer to sell or solicit sales of alcohol. Our Website enables you to search online for alcohol and other products available for sale by alcohol beverage licensees including retailers and other parties permitted to sell alcohol directly to consumers ("Licensees"). The service is not meant to facilitate any improper furnishing of inducements by any manufacturer, importer, supplier, wholesaler or distributor of alcohol beverages to any retailer of alcoholic beverages or to facilitate any improper exclusionary practices by any alcohol beverage licensee. When you search for a product, the service shows you its availability, price and other information based on your location and information provided by the Licensees that service your location. Our service may be limited or not available at all in some places due to local law or other restrictions.
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 Licensee’s location or warehouse and state it is purchased in and the purchaser takes all responsibility for shipping it from the warehouse to his/her home state. By arranging for transportation of the alcohol beverages, the applicable Licensee is providing a service to and acting on behalf of the purchaser. By utilizing this service from Uncorked.com, the purchaser is representing that he/she is acting in a fashion compliant with his/her local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation and delivery of alcohol beverages. The purchaser represents that he/she has obtained any required permission, paid any required fees, is working through properly licensed intermediaries where required, is legally entitled to take possession of alcohol beverages and is legally entitled to take quantities ordered and once again authorizes that he/she is 21 years of age.
Licensees are solely responsible for all activities related to the sale and provision of alcoholic beverages including but not limited to (a) selecting the products to be offered for sale via the Website (b) setting the purchase price of all products made available for sale via the Website (c) accepting or rejecting all customer orders, and (d) fulfilling all customer orders, including but not limited to completing any deliveries or shipments of orders, if applicable. Uncorked shall have no liability to you, any customer, or any other person for lost, unprocessed, or mishandled orders.
The risk of loss and title for all products ordered on the Uncorked Website passes from the Licensee to you when the product is delivered to the shipping carrier.

Upon receipt, proof of legal age using a valid government identification may be required.
