4. Processing and Delivery of Products
All Users are required to create a HipBar account (as defined
hereinafter) and all payments in respect of the Products are to be made
exclusively through the HipBar Account, the monetary value of which will be
received by the respective Merchants from whom you purchase the Products.
At the time you perform a transaction, your HipBar Account will be
routed through a third party payment gateway, which will, subject
to the terms and conditions agreed with the payment gateway, transfer
the funds to the Merchant.
The sale of the relevant Products shall be deemed to be completed at the
licensed premises as per Applicable Laws.
You confirm that the financial information provided by you herein, such as
the payment details namely, the credit/debit card details or pre-paid
instrument account details or UPI or net banking details or HipBar wallet
(details of which are provided in the link herein https://hipbar.com/hipbar-wallet)
for purchasing Products through the HipBar account are correct and accurate.
HipBar may from time to time contract with third party payment service providers including banks to open nodal account
under the applicable Indian laws, to facilitate the payment between You and the Merchant, as well as the fees payable to
HipBar. The procedure for the payments to the Merchants will be governed by the applicable regulations and guidelines
released by the Reserve Bank of India.
HipBar does not make any representation or warranty as to the item-specifics (such as legal title, creditworthiness,
identity, etc.) of any of the Merchants. You are advised to independently verify the bona fides of any particular
Merchant that you choose to deal with on the Platform and use your best judgment on that behalf. All Merchant offers and
third-party offers are subject to the respective party terms and conditions. HipBar takes no responsibility for such
offers.

possession of any of the products offered by the Merchant. At no time shall HipBar hold any right, title or interest
over the products nor shall HipBar have any obligations or liabilities in respect of such contract entered into between
Consumer and Merchant.
Before handing over the Products to You, the Merchant / Delivery Personnel may validate your
identity by requesting a proof of identity. The onus of age-verification
lies with You to show the valid proof of identity to confirm the
legal drinking age of Your state.
With regard to value of the transaction, HipBar follows industry practice, by rounding off the value to the nearest Rupee (i.e. if the MRP of a product in the decimal point has fractions of less than 50 paise, it is ignored, and in the case of fractions more than 50 paise, they are rounded off to the nearest higher Rupee)
Neither HipBar, nor any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent
of HipBar shall be liable to the User or any third party for any claims
relating to the reservation and/or consumption of the Products or any
consequences which may result thereof.

or other requirements as per Applicable Laws in the State in which he is
domiciled, to receive and consume such Products or such individual cannot
