Age check 18+

It is of great importance that alcohol is sold responsibly, including online. For Your Taste Only is not allowed to sell alcohol to young people under the age of eighteen.

This page provides insight into how For Your Taste Only implements this responsible online sales process. This satisfies the requirement laid down in Article 20A paragraph 1 sub b of the Alcohol Act that one must have a working method that guarantees that the alcoholic beverage is only delivered to the address of the consignee or a distribution point and that the age of the person to whom the alcoholic beverage is supplied is established and that this method is also used.

This page is always up to date. This means that the page is updated every time the situation changes and is reviewed annually. The page contains a description of:

• the process used to monitor the age limit and comply with applicable obligations
• the way in which this working method is made known and transparent to employees
• checking the correct compliance with the process and the way in which any corrections are made

Which checkpoints has For Your Taste Only set up?

1. Age verification system

Every visitor to our webshop who places an order is obliged to confirm that his/her age is 18 years or older and that the recipient of this order is also 18 years or older and is willing to verify his/her age with a valid ID to verify the authenticity.

This age verification system is currently not foolproof. After all, everyone (including minors) can indicate that they are older than 18 years. In the not too distant future, the government will therefore create an age verification system that will make it possible to determine the age of the consumer reliably and unambiguously. As soon as this age verification system becomes available, For Your Taste Only will update to it.

2. Age check delivery service

With every order sent by For Your Taste Only, the delivery person carries out an age check. The delivery person checks the age of the recipient at the door based on the recipient's ID. The package will be handed over only if the recipient meets the age requirement.

Did the age check fail because the recipient was not at home, or because the delivery person couldn't check his/her age? Then the deliverer takes the package back. A shipment from the own delivery service is returned to the store. A PostNL shipment is brought to a PostNL location nearby, where the recipient can pick it up with a valid ID. Is nobody coming to pick up the package? Then the shipment will be returned. If the addressee turns out to be someone younger than 18, the package will also be returned in this case.

3. Delivery to the neighbours is no longer possible

It is not possible to have the package delivered to the neighbours when the age check has to be done. If the age check was not successful because the recipient was not at home, the delivery person will take the package back. The shipment is returned to the store or to a PostNL location nearby, where the recipient can pick it up with a valid ID. Is there nobody coming to pick up the package? Then the shipment will be returned to us.
