Terms & Conditions

What this site is

This site is a record of publicly published auction results, gathered from 31 auction houses, with tools to search the data and keep track of bottles you own or follow.

Every figure shown is based on published auction data: a hammer price, the amount payable by the successful bidder, or a published starting price. Nothing on this site is an estimate, a formal valuation, or an offer to buy or sell anything.

Where the figures come from

We take each auction house's own published results and, wherever possible, every result links back to the house's page for that lot so you can check the source yourself.

Hammer price means the winning bid. Buyer paid means the total amount payable by the successful bidder based on the fees and charges published by that auction house.

Auction information is not always published consistently, so mistakes or omissions can occasionally happen. If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell us and we will check it against the original source.

Accuracy and availability

We work hard to keep the site accurate, useful and reliable, but we cannot guarantee that every figure, bottle detail, link or classification will always be complete or correct.

The site may also occasionally be unavailable or parts of it may change as we improve the service.

If something does not look right, please let us know through Contact Us & Support.

Not advice

Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, insurance or other professional advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.

Whisky prices can fall as well as rise, and a past auction result is no guarantee of what a bottle will achieve next time.

Condition, fill level, label, packaging, provenance, location, auction house and market conditions can all affect the price.

Please do your own checks and, where appropriate, confirm information with the auction house before buying, selling, bidding, insuring or valuing a bottle.

Reliance on the site

We take reasonable care with the information we provide, but to the fullest extent permitted by law we are not responsible for loss, cost or missed opportunity resulting from reliance on information shown on the site.

This includes decisions to buy, sell, bid for, insure or value a bottle.

Nothing in these terms takes away any rights or remedies that the law gives you and which cannot legally be excluded.

Personal use and business use

The site is intended primarily for your own personal use.

Using our data or services as part of a business, reselling or republishing our content, copying substantial amounts of data, or incorporating our data into another product, database, website or service requires our permission first.

That is not a closed door. If you would like to use DramX commercially, get in touch and we can discuss suitable access, including Enterprise access.

Fair use

The site is designed for people researching and checking bottles, rather than for copying large parts of the database.

To keep things running smoothly, we apply reasonable usage limits. These may include limits on:

  • the number of requests made within a short period;
  • repeated browsing through large parts of the database without a search term;
  • the total number of lots shown to an account or visitor within a day; and
  • the number of searches available on certain plans.

Browsing without a search term may also be limited to more recent sales. Older results remain available through searches and individual bottle pages.

These limits are intended to sit well above normal use. Reaching one does not mean you have done anything wrong; you may simply need to wait a short while before continuing.

Automated access

You must not scrape, crawl, copy in bulk or use bots, scripts or other automated tools to collect data from the site without authorised access from us.

Automated access is controlled by us and may have separate limits or terms.

If someone deliberately tries to bypass our fair-use limits or technical protections, we may restrict or suspend access.

If you need automated, bulk or commercial access, please contact us. We are happy to discuss authorised access where appropriate.

Your account

Accounts are personal and should not be shared.

Most plans allow one signed-in device at a time, so signing in somewhere new may sign the previous device out. Pro Max allows up to four registered devices.

Please keep your login details secure and let us know if you think somebody else has gained access to your account.

You can delete your account at any time. Deleting your account will also remove the information and saved data associated with it, except where we are legally required or permitted to keep something.

If we need to restrict an account

We hope we never need to, but we may restrict, suspend or close an account where there is serious or repeated misuse of the site.

This might include account sharing, fraudulent activity, unauthorised automated access, deliberate attempts to bypass usage limits, or non-payment of a subscription.

Where reasonable, we will try to give you notice or an opportunity to resolve the issue first.

Our content and technology

The DramX name, branding, website design, software, database structure, bottle profiles, classifications and original content belong to us or are used by us with permission.

Auction results and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners where applicable.

Normal personal use of the site is of course fine, but these terms do not give you ownership of our software, database or original content.

Links to other websites

The site contains links to auction houses and other websites so that you can check original information for yourself.

Those websites are run independently from us, so we are not responsible for their availability, content, terms or security.

A link from DramX does not mean that we endorse or are connected with that website unless we specifically say otherwise.

Payment and subscriptions

Paid plans are charged at the price shown when you subscribe.

Subscriptions run monthly or for a fixed term of twelve months. You can cancel at any time and will not be billed again - cancelling stops the next payment; it does not refund the period you are already in. This is a digital service you get access to immediately, so you agree that supply begins at once and that your 14-day right to cancel ends when your access begins. Once a term has started we do not refund it, in whole or in part, whether or not you use the site.

We may change subscription prices from time to time. If the price of your existing subscription increases, we will give you reasonable advance notice before the new price takes effect, and you can cancel before the increase applies.

We may also update the features, allowances or limits included with different plans. If we make a significant change to a paid plan, we will give reasonable notice.

Each plan holds a set number of bottles in your collection and your watchlist. If you move to a smaller plan, or cancel, we keep the most recent bottles up to the new plan's limit and remove the rest. We tell you before it happens, and we tell you the date, so you can choose what to keep.

The current features, allowances and limits for each plan are shown on the relevant membership or pricing page.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as the site, our services or legal requirements change.

The latest version will always be published on this page together with the date it was last updated.

If we make a significant change that affects your rights or use of the service, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer, this does not take away any rights you may have under the mandatory laws that apply where you live.

Any dispute relating to these terms or the use of the site may be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales, subject to any rights you have as a consumer to bring proceedings elsewhere.

Privacy Policy

The short version

We only collect the information we need to run DramX, keep accounts working, improve the site and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information, give it to advertisers or use it to follow you around other websites.

What we keep

If you create an account, we keep your email address, your password in securely hashed form, your name if you choose to provide one, your membership plan and your account settings.

If you use your collection or watchlist, we also keep the bottles you add and any information you choose to save alongside them, such as what you paid, when you bought them or your own notes.

Like most websites, our systems may also process basic technical information such as your IP address, browser or device type, pages requested and the time of a request. This helps us keep the site secure, understand technical problems and make sure the service is working properly.

Cookies and similar technology

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to make the site work properly.

These may be used to:

  • keep you signed in;
  • remember certain settings;
  • protect the site and its forms;
  • understand how the site is being used;
  • identify errors and technical problems; and
  • help us improve performance and reliability.

We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or to track you across unrelated websites.

Analytics and error tracking

We use technical analytics and error-monitoring tools to understand whether the site is working as expected.

These tools may tell us things such as which page had a problem, which feature was being used, the browser or device involved, and basic information about how people use different parts of the site.

We use this information to find errors, improve features, understand what is useful and keep DramX running properly.

We do not use this information to build advertising profiles or sell information about our users.

Security and fair use

We may keep technical logs where necessary to protect the site, investigate unusual activity and enforce reasonable usage limits.

For example, we may keep track of the number of searches or requests made by an account or connection so that free allowances and fair-use limits work properly.

These records are used to operate and protect the service, not for advertising.

Your collection and watchlist

Your collection and watchlist are private to your account.

We do not publish them or make them available to other users.

If you delete your account, the information associated with your account will also be deleted, except where we need to keep limited information for legal, security or legitimate administrative reasons.

Emails from us

We may email you when it is necessary to operate your account, for example to:

  • confirm your email address;
  • help you reset your password;
  • send important information about your account or the service; and
  • send bottle or watchlist alerts that you have chosen to receive.

You can switch optional alerts off through your account settings.

We do not sell your email address or provide it to advertisers.

Who we share information with

We use trusted service providers to help operate DramX, such as hosting, email, payment, analytics and technical service providers.

They may process limited information on our behalf where necessary to provide those services.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so or where reasonably necessary to protect the site, our users or our legal rights.

How long we keep information

We keep account information for as long as your account remains open and for as long afterwards as reasonably necessary for legal, security or administrative purposes.

Technical and analytics information is kept only for as long as it is useful for running, securing and improving the service.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct something that is wrong, or ask us to delete your information.

Depending on the circumstances, you may also have other rights over how your personal information is used.

You can delete your DramX account whenever you like.

Getting in touch

If you have any questions about your information or how we use it, contact us through Contact Us & Support.

If something concerns you, please get in touch. We would much rather explain it or fix it than leave you wondering.
