Terms of Sale

What's in these terms?

These terms will apply to the purchase of the goods via our website. By ordering any of the Goods, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Age verification

In line with the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 you must be aged 18 years or older to purchase any bladed products on this site. The legislation requires that age verification takes place both when a sale is accepted and at the point when the item is delivered.

It is an offense for any person under the age of 18 years in the UK to purchase, or attempt to purchase, a bladed product (age restricted item). This relates to any kitchen knives, knife block sets, carving sets and steak knife sets on this website. All packages containing a bladed article must be clearly marked to indicate that it contains a bladed article and that it should only be delivered into the hands of a person aged 18 or over. All of the orders placed on this site will be packaged with a label clearly marking it as an age restricted item and will require identification at point of delivery.

Viners operate a ‘Think 25’ policy which applies at all delivery and collection points. To purchase an age restricted item on this site, Viners requires the purchaser to confirm they are aged 18 years or older during the checkout procedure and also at the point of delivery of the item, whether that be to a residential address or a DPD pick up shop. For more information please email us at customerservices@rayware.co.uk or call 0151 486 1888 where lines are open between 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.

We appreciate your support on this important matter.
