SALE OF ALCOHOL POLICY

This policy is part of our Terms of Use.

Quirky.im is a marketplace platform. It routes orders from customers to specific sellers, some of whom are licenced to sell alcohol.

The Isle of Man’s Licensing Forum’s “Guidance for the Remote Sales of Alcohol” states:

“Remote sales must be from a licenced premises

Section 16 of the Sale of Goods Act 1983 defines a ‘point of sale’ as taking place only when the specific product being sold has been ascertained. In other words, even if the internet server or the call centre taking the order by telephone is located somewhere else, it is the place where the alcohol is stored and appropriated for that specific sale where the sale is deemed to take place.”

Quirky.im is not required to hold a liquor license. It is the sellers who are making the sale and fulfilling the orders who need to hold and adhere to the licencing regulations. This position has been reviewed and verified by the Isle of Man’s Police Alcohol Unit.

Persons under the age of 18 may use this website with the supervision of an adult. Purchase of products containing alcohol must only be made by persons of at least 18 years of age or over. It is illegal in the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, alcohol for themselves or for any other person under the age of 18 and when making a purchase of alcohol via this website you are undertaking that you are 18 years of age or older.

The sellers reserve the right to check your identity and that of any proposed recipient of an alcoholic product with any published list of persons subject to a banning order and to refuse to fulfil any order.

The sellers may, further, impose further checks and impose their own policies in relation to the sale of alcohol products to ensure that they comply with all relevant legislation.
