• The OnTap Store Platform

  The OnTap Store is operated on a platform developed, owned and operated by Alpha51 Inc. ("A51"). A51 is not engaged in the selling of our products and is a technology company. We are simply using the platform of A51, including the OnTap Store (collectively, the "Application") to allow us to sell our products directly to you.

• Types of Data Collected

  Through the Application, A51 and third parties use "cookies" and collect certain personal data, namely, usage data, email address, first name and last name (the "Personal Data"). A51 obtains the Personal Data from you, the User, and/or it is collected automatically when you use the Application. Any use of cookies – or of other tracking tools – by the Application or by the owners of third party services used by the Application, unless stated otherwise, serves to identify Users and remember their preferences, for the sole purpose of providing the service required by the User. Users are responsible for any Personal Data of third parties obtained, published or shared through the Application and confirm that they have the third party's consent to provide such Personal Data to A51.

• User Account

  In order to access the OnTap Store, you will be required to set up an account.

  In order to access the OnTap Store, you and your authorized users must be at least 19 years of age or the legal age for purchasing alcohol in your Province of residence, and your establishment must hold a valid license ("License") from the provincial regulatory agency where your establishment is located. A search tool is available for you to look up your license and auto-fill your establishment’s details in our application to apply to purchase from our OnTap Store.

  You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information on your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, and you agree, at all times, to maintain the security of your account, including all usernames and passwords. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. Neither us nor A51 will be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

• Payment Profiles and Processing

  Prior to being able to place orders, you must configure and save on the Application at least one valid payment profile. Supported profiles may include Electronic Fund Transfer ("EFT") and Credit Card ("CC") profiles. All EFT and CC payment profiles are stored on a server owned and operated by a third party payment processor, who has been retained to handle all payment transactions between you and us. A script, hosted by the provider, creates a single-use encrypted token to save the banking and CC data into a profile. Subsequent requests to use this profile are simply referenced by a alpha-numeric identifier.

  No banking or CC numbers or information ever touch A51 or OnTap servers, only references to profiles located on our processor's servers.

• Pre-Authorized Debit Authorization for EFT Payments and Authorization to Make Charges to your CC

  We have the right to select payment options that are available to you, as indicated in the Additional Terms. Such payment options may be changed from time to time. If more than one option is offered, you will then have the right to choose which payment option you wish to use.

  EFT Payments

  If an option for EFT payments is provided and you wish to use EFT for your payments, you hereby authorize us to withdraw funds from your bank account on file with us in accordance with the terms herein.

  After you have placed an order, the funds relating to the price indicated on the invoice for such order will be withdrawn from your bank account after you have received delivery of our products for such order.

  You hereby acknowledge and agree that the funds withdrawn from your account will vary depending on the products purchased by you for each order, as indicated in the order invoice.

  If you wish to cancel EFT payments for future orders, you may do so by sending us an email to the address specified in the Additional Terms.

  You have the right to receive reimbursement for any debit that is not authorized or is not consistent with the terms herein.

  Cred Card Payments

  If and option for CC payments is provided and you wish to use a CC for your payments, after you place an order, a pre-authorization will be performed on the CC entered into your payment profile to ensure available funds. Such pre-authorization will be held on the card for seven (7) days.

  You hereby authorize us to perform a pre-authorization on your CC and to charge to your CC the amounts indicated in our invoice for orders made by you. Such charge will be made after delivery of the products pertaining to the order.

  If you wish to cancel or change the CC on file with us, you may do so by sending us an email to the address specified in the Additional Terms.
