Consumer Responsibility Disclaimer
Non-California residents are responsible for determining whether their state, county, or local jurisdiction permits the shipment of wine from an out-of-state retailer. Each state, county, and municipality has its own alcohol laws and regulations. Please check with your appropriate agencies before placing an order. Each individual purchaser accepts full responsibility for their own state and local verification.
By placing an order, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 21 years of age.
- The receipt of wine at your delivery address is lawful under all applicable state and local laws.
- All items purchased are for personal consumption and not for resale.
- You and the person accepting delivery are both 21 years of age or older.
Title to Goods: Title to all alcoholic beverages purchased on this site passes to the buyer in the State of California when the goods are picked up by the common carrier. By making a purchase, you are authorizing Japanese Wine Co. to arrange transportation on your behalf, and you represent that you are acting in full compliance with your local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation, and receipt of alcoholic beverages.
Japanese Wine Co. (Dream of Japan LLC) makes no representation or warranty as to the legal requirements of shipping to your specific address and shall not be liable for any claims arising from shipments to locations where such shipment may violate any federal, state, or local regulation.
Change in Law: If applicable law changes after your order is placed but before shipment — making receipt unlawful — please contact us prior to shipment. Once an order has shipped, title has passed to the buyer and no refund can be issued on that basis.
