Terms of Service

1. About Wine Twins

Wine Twins is a wine recommendation service that provides personalized suggestions based on your taste preferences. Wine is an alcoholic beverage, so the service is intended only for adults of legal drinking age. Our recommendations are drawn from personal tasting experience and are intended to help you discover wines you might enjoy.

2. Informational Purpose Only

All wine recommendations provided by Wine Twins are for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice. We are not sommeliers, wine merchants, or licensed alcohol consultants.

Wine preferences are subjective, and individual tastes vary. A recommendation that works well for one person may not suit another. We encourage you to use our suggestions as a starting point for your own wine exploration.

3. Affiliate Relationships

Wine Twins participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click on purchase links on our site and make a purchase from a third-party retailer, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our recommendations are based on taste and quality ratings. Among wines that meet our standards, we prioritize those available for purchase through our affiliate partners.

When you click an affiliate link, you will be redirected to the retailer's website. All purchases are made directly with the retailer, and their terms of service and policies apply to those transactions.

4. Email Communications

Wine Twins may offer email newsletters and other marketing communications. Email communications are opt-in only. You receive them only if you have actively subscribed.

Every email we send contains a working unsubscribe link. You can unsubscribe at any time, and we will stop sending you marketing emails within 5 working days, as required by the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). See our privacy policy for details on how email subscription data is handled.

5. Age Requirement

Wine Twins is intended for users who are of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. In Australia, this is 18 years of age. By using Wine Twins, you confirm that you meet the legal drinking age requirement in your location.

We do not sell or ship alcohol. Any purchases you make through affiliate links are subject to the retailer's age verification processes at the point of sale or delivery.

6. Responsible Consumption

Alcohol carries health and safety risks, and we ask that you enjoy wine responsibly and in moderation. For guidance on lower-risk drinking, see DrinkWise Australia, an independent organisation that promotes a healthier and safer drinking culture.

Wine Twins is not a substitute for medical advice. You should not rely on this service to guide your alcohol consumption if you have a relevant health condition, are pregnant, are in recovery from alcohol dependence, or for any other reason should not consume alcohol. If you are unsure whether drinking is appropriate for you, please consult a qualified health professional.

7. Limitation of Liability

Wine Twins provides recommendations "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We are not liable for:

• The accuracy, availability, or pricing of wines displayed on our site or on third-party retailer sites.
• Any issues arising from purchases made through affiliate links, including product quality, delivery, or returns.
• Personal dissatisfaction with recommended wines due to individual taste preferences.
• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Wine Twins.
• Delays or delivery failures affecting email communications sent to subscribers.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid to use Wine Twins (which is zero, as our service is free).

8. Intellectual Property

All content on Wine Twins, including text, graphics, logos, design, and software, is the property of Wine Twins or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright and trademark laws.

Wine images and product information may be sourced from third parties and remain the property of their respective owners. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without express written permission.

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data.
• Submit false or misleading information through our feedback forms.
• Use the service for any illegal purpose or to promote irresponsible alcohol consumption.
• Misuse or manipulate the recommendation system in ways that could harm other users.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to users who violate these terms.
