The products are sold under the condition that they will at no point become the subject of the duty of tax evasion. Ensuring that any relevant duties or local taxes have been paid remains the sole responsibility of the customer and we will not be liable for any actions are undertaken without the appropriate duties having been paid subsequent to the sale.

If you do not wish the goods to be re-sent we will, at our discretion, refund the value of the goods (except for the shipping costs).

This amount will be deducted from your refund.
We did our best in designing our signature black package to offer not just one-of-a-kind unboxing experience, but also provide maximum protection for its contents. In the (rare) case of receiving damaged goods, please notify us immediately and we will agree about how we can make it up to you.

Our Refunds Policy
If we're providing a refund:
- Membership
- You may cancel or pause your Membership within 3-days after becoming a member for a full refund by visiting your "Membership page" and completing the cancellation process found there. We may charge you (or withhold from your refund) the value of benefits used during this period.
- Cancelation requests after the 3-day grace period will result in Membership renewal prevention; membership status remains unaltered until the end of the prepaid period. You can pause your Membership or prevent it from renewing any time by visiting the Membership page. Pausing your membership will prevent your membership from renewing for a set period of time at the end of your prepaid period.
- Membership Renewal. Same rules, time limitations, and refund eligibility options apply as described above for when becoming a member.
- Personalized items (e.g. engraved) and product incentives to join The Original Bourbon Club are non-refundable unless stated otherwise.
For help contact us at mandevillebourbonclub@gmail.com.
- Subscription
- You may cancel or pause your Subscription by visiting your "Subscription page" on your profile and completing the cancelation process found there. The website will offer and process a refund in accordance with this Refunds Policy.
- If you cancel within 24h of signing up to a paid Subscription, you will receive a full refund. Later cancelation requests will prevent future subscription charges. Pausing your subscription will skip your next subscription charge.
- Same rules as described above apply for each subsequent Subscription charge.
Our Right to Cancel Orders
We reserve the right to cancel orders at our discretion and at any stage of the order fulfillment process. We will provide a reason and you will be notified of our actions via email within a reasonable period of time, but usually as soon as possible. We'll refund any money received from you to the method of payment originally used unless agreed otherwise (i.e. store credit). We will use this liberty with extreme caution and forethought.
We may cancel orders that we suspect were placed using incorrect information, misuse of store credit and promo codes, and other forms of fraud. If that is the case with your order, a Customer Support representative may contact you first by email and give you a reasonable amount of time to respond to our concerns. Another reason for us to cancel your order is if it cannot be fulfilled due to unavailability even 2 months after it was made. Other possible reasons would include pricing and inventory errors (we rely on the diligence of our fulfillment partners to keep the store up to date). It does not happen often, but just in case, and for these kinds of cases, we don't take any responsibility for damages caused due to longer fulfillment times or inability to deliver items.
In case we need to cancel your order, the refund will be normally processed immediately but no later than 30 days from cancelation. The funds will be returned to the original payment method.
