Handled · Legal
Last updated: July 1, 2026
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
This is a binding legal agreement between you and Handled Spirits LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as either “Handled,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and governs your relationship with us as it pertains to the Handled Spirits LLC website, application, and/or any other medium upon which we provide goods or services (the “Service”). You agree to be bound by these terms when you access the Service or any portion thereof; your access also constitutes your agreement to these terms. The terms contained herein supersede and replace any other agreement or negotiation between you and Handled, whether oral, written, or otherwise, including any statements made by any representative of Handled at any time.
This agreement addresses the following topics:
Handled is a licensed wholesaler of spirits that partners with content creators and brands to launch limited-edition spirits “drops.” Handled sources the liquid, develops the label and manages federal label compliance, and produces and supplies the finished product through the licensed three-tier distribution system.
Handled does not sell products directly to consumers. Handled supplies product to a licensed distributor, which sells to one or more licensed retailers, which in turn sell to consumers. The Handled website and any drop page provide a storefront and marketing experience (the “Service”); the actual purchase of any product is a transaction between you and the licensed retailer of record, which operates the checkout, is the merchant of record, and is responsible for payment, sale, and fulfillment in accordance with applicable alcohol-beverage laws. Handled is not a party to that purchase and is not the seller of record.
If you participate as a content creator (a “Creator”) to launch a drop, you additionally agree that: (a) you will approve your product label and promote your drop; and (b) your use of the Service must comply with these terms and applicable law. The specific commercial terms of your relationship with Handled — including brand and label ownership, intellectual property, economics, and term — are governed by a separate written Master Services Agreement between you and Handled, which controls in the event of any conflict with these terms.
The Service is not directed at anyone under the age of 21. Use of the Service is restricted to individuals at least 21 years of age. By using our Service, you affirm and expressly represent that you are at least 21 years of age. Information collected from you is treated as information collected from adults, and Handled relies on such representations.
If you are under the age of 21, or the person you are delivering goods to is under the age of 21, do not use our Service.
Handled maintains these Terms of Service, which include an Acceptable Use Policy set forth below and a Privacy Policy (found on our site). The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these terms as though set forth at length herein. By your express agreement or by using any aspect of the Service, you agree to be bound by these policies as well as any other terms that may be posted within the Service or that may otherwise be provided to you. The Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy, collectively, are referred to herein and on the Service as the (“Policies”).
Handled strictly enforces compliance with its acceptable use terms under this section. You agree to be in full compliance with the terms set forth below. Failure to comply is cause for order termination and legal action.
Term. This agreement shall remain in effect from your acceptance of these terms until terminated as provided herein (the “Term”).
Suspension. At the sole option of the Company, for any reason set forth herein or in the event that you breach any term of this Agreement, the Company may suspend your use by deactivating any access by you to any information contained on the Company servers related to you while maintaining the information and data related to you upon the Company servers. In the event of any such suspension you will be notified and given an opportunity to correct the reason for your suspension. In the event that the reason for your suspension is not corrected within ten (10) days, your account may be terminated under the Termination provision below.
Termination. This agreement and all of its terms shall remain in full force and effect until it is terminated. Termination shall include, at the sole option of the Company, the removal of any and all of your user content and other information pertaining to you from the Company servers. Such information or data may or may not be made available to you by the Company after any such termination. The Company may discontinue any or all of the Service at any time, with or without notice. Termination shall not affect any rights the Company may have to recover from you losses, damages, indemnity, defense costs, expert costs, collection costs, and/or attorneys’ fees or other costs of any kind as may be applicable under these terms or otherwise under Kentucky law.
Any notice required under this agreement may be given by the Company to you via email at the address provided by you to the Company or as the Company may be advised. Notice to you at this address is deemed sufficient regardless of your receipt of such email. If you wish to update your email address, you should do so by contacting us.
Any notice by you to the Company shall be made by email to lfd@handledspirits.com and is considered effective upon acknowledgment of receipt.
Sections 1–6 and 8–16 (all inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect after any such termination.
The Company makes every reasonable effort to maintain operation of the Service. However, because many events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company, the Company does not in any way warrant or otherwise guarantee the availability of the Service and is not responsible for any delay or loss of data, lack of connection, slow connection, or any other such issues, whether due to the active or passive negligence of the Company.

You expressly waive any claim for damages of any kind, whether direct, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, incidental, or consequential, loss of profits, or loss of business as the result of any action taken in response to any claim of copyright infringement, without regard to whether or not the material claimed to have been infringing is later found to be infringing.

The obligations and rights of the party so excused shall be extended on a day-to-day basis for the period of time equal to that of the underlying cause of the delay.

Any other attempted transfer or assignment of rights hereunder shall be null and void ab initio.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, that is not resolved by the parties through mediation or otherwise, shall be determined by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in Kentucky, in accordance with Kentucky law and the JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The decision of the arbitrator with respect to any issues submitted for determination shall be final and binding on all of the parties to this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages.
