Notwithstanding anything published to the contrary with respect to Club benefits, not all Club membership benefits are the same for all members, and some special promotional offers, benefits and communications may be based on geographic location, Club participation, information supplied by the member or the volume or type of purchases made by a member. In order to be eligible for membership benefits your account must be (1) open, (2) in good standing and (3) current membership fees must have been paid. Abuse of Club membership (for example, by failing to follow the Terms, allowing others to use your membership number or other improper conduct as determined by Aridus in its sole discretion) may result in termination of your membership and disqualify you from future Club participation.

  • Promotional Offers.

All Club members acknowledge that the wines provided to Club members are limited in quantities and may not always be available at the time of your pick-up or delivery, especially in the event that you do not pick up your wine in the month for which such wine was offered. In all cases, Aridus, in its sole discretion, may substitute other wine for any wine that is no longer reasonably available, without any adjustment or refund. In addition, certain Club members may select and receive available alternative wine varieties applicable to the particular membership of the member.

  • Fees. All fees for Club memberships and associated charges, such as shipping charges and other related charges, are automatically billed to your credit card.

  • Damage During Shipment. If you have selected the option of shipment of your wine to you, the wine will be sent per your membership, and there is no available return or exchange for shipped wines except as set forth in this paragraph. Wine is a delicate and perishable commodity, and if your wine is being shipped, conditions outside of the control of Aridus may adversely affect the wine during shipment. If your wine, at the time of delivery, is received damaged, spoiled or otherwise defective, you may contact us regarding the damage and Aridus may, in its discretion and based on the particular conditions of each such circumstance, send a replacement in exchange, which is your sole and exclusive remedy for damaged or defective product. Aridus will not refund shipping charges, and additional shipping and other charges will apply to deliveries to you that are returned as undeliverable or refused.

  • Changes in Shipping; Changes in Law Shipping costs will vary by state and location and may be changed by Aridus from time to time.

If that is not agreeable, you may cancel your membership in accordance with Section 4, above, and you may receive a refund of any membership fees paid for wine that we are not able to ship to you based on such a change in laws. In addition to changes in shipping charges, taxes and other related charges may change or may vary between states and locations, and retail wine prices and discounts will differ and vary from those related to wines provided by way of Club membership.
