Liquor & Tobacco Policy – Age Restricted Goods

As a responsible company, retailer and overall corporate citizen Havana House has many obligations, and in the nature of our industry none greater than the responsible and legal sale of liquor and tobacco product.

Our company takes New Zealand’s law and our duty of care to the public seriously, and in doing so we regularly review and work with the Ministry of Health and local governing bodies in response to the best way we can meet our legal requirements around the sale and supply of liquor and tobacco product to the public.

Our responsibilities include;

  • Meeting all legal requirements around licencing of staff and premises from which to sell liquor and alcohol.
  • Duty of care to the well-being of our staff and customers.
  • Ensuring customers are of legal age to purchase any age-restricted product.

At times Havana House may refuse a sale for any or no reason of which we are not obligated to disclose in order to comply with New Zealand law and or our own policies and procedures. This can be challenging and upsetting to customers in these situations where a sale is refused.

By abiding by the law and our policy and procedures it may result in losing a sale but it is better to refuse an irresponsible sale and comply with the law than run the risk of incurring:

  • A large personal fine – up to $2,000
  • Criminal record
  • Possible disciplinary action that may result in termination of employment
  • Large fine for the Company
  • The possibility of loss of liquor license

Please be aware, Havana House is under no obligation to sell liquor or tobacco if it is irresponsible to do so.

  • Tobacco Product

Where your order contains any tobacco Product, you as the purchaser warrants that you are  over the age of 18 years and legally entitled to purchase any such Product.

  • Alcohol

If the Customer’s order includes any liquor Product, the Customer warrants that he/she is over the age of 18 years and legally entitled to purchase any such Product, and that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol at the time the order is submitted.

  • Restrictions on use of login to purchase tobacco or alcohol products

Any customer registered with Havana House shall ensure that no other person or persons shall use his/her login to purchase any liquor or tobacco product if that person or those persons cannot truthfully provide warranty of their age as if they were the registered customer for the purposes of those clauses.

  • Right to seek verification

If a customer submits an order containing tobacco or alcohol products, we may at our discretion contact that customer to obtain age verification. If for any reason we are not satisfied as to the ability of the customer to truthfully give the warranty, Havana House reserves the right to cancel the order.

  • Acceptance of orders containing tobacco or alcohol

The Customer shall ensure that a person over the age of 18 years, and, in the case of orders containing alcohol, not under the influence of alcohol, is available to accept delivery of any order containing tobacco or alcohol
