HIGHLY ALLOCATED PRODUCTS
Certain Products are available in extremely limited quantities due to the rare or

Highly Allocated Products cannot be offered for sale on a secondary market, including but not limited to auctions and online marketplaces, regardless of whether such sale may be authorized under the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019.
-
Highly Allocated Products may be subject to bottle code monitoring to identify any bottles sold by the LCBO that appear for resale on secondary markets.
-
If you purchase a Highly Allocated Product from the LCBO and if the LCBO has reason to believe you resold that Highly Allocated Product in a secondary market contrary to these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the LCBO may, in its sole discretion, temporarily restrict you from making further purchases of any Highly Allocated Product.
-
You must notify the LCBO if a Highly Allocated Product purchased from the LCBO is subsequently stolen. Failure to inform the LCBO of a theft may, if the Highly Allocated Product is identified for sale in a secondary market, result in the LCBO temporarily restricting you from further purchases of Highly Allocated Product.
The LCBO will provide notice on the product offer page on vintagesshoponline.com,
in advance of purchase, wherever these obligations apply. Should you have any
questions regarding Highly Allocated Products,
please contact the LCBO’s Merchandising Department at MerchandisingSupport@lcbo.com.

DEPOSIT and BALANCE OWING
Certain Products are not immediately available for delivery (e.g.,
Products offered through the Bordeaux Futures program). The LCBO may indicate on
the Website that such Products (referred to as “Future Delivery Orders”)
will be available to purchase subject to delivery at a later date when such Products are received
by the LCBO. For Future Delivery Orders, you must pay a non-refundable/non-transferable deposit
(i) when you submit your order, or (ii) in the case of a Product that is subject
to allocation under section 14, once the LCBO notifies you of the Product quantity
that is allocated to you. The amount of the deposit is 25% of the purchase price
(or such other amount as stated in the ordering instructions). You must pay the
deposit and acknowledge you are aware the deposit is non-refundable/non-transferable
(i) at the time you submit your order, or (ii) in the case of a product
that is subject to allocation under section 14, within the time specified in the
Allocation Notice. The LCBO will notify you when the Products are ready to be delivered
to an LCBO store for pick up, at which time you must pay the balance of the price
for such Products. The LCBO may cancel your order if (i) the required deposit is
not received when due; (ii) the LCBO is unable to contact you when the Products
ordered are ready to be delivered for pick up, using the contact information you
provided in your order, or (iii) the balance of the price owing is not received
when due. If the LCBO cancels your order your deposit will be forfeited.
