Trademark Notice

Ownership of marks

Product names, trademarks, trade names, logos and brand imagery referred to on this website belong to their respective owners. No ownership of, or right in, any third-party mark is claimed by Alpes ZH Groothandel.

Distribution status

Alpes ZH Groothandel distributes the brands listed on this website under formal authorisation. Displaying a brand is not a claim to own its marks, and does not make us the brand owner, its representative or its agent.

The arrangement for each brand is recorded against that brand in our system and shown on the brand's page, so the status a buyer reads is the status held in our records rather than a blanket statement in small print. Authorisation is separate from territory: it does not by itself make every destination eligible, and destination eligibility is reviewed before a quotation is issued.

Why brands are named

Brands are named to describe goods we are able to procure and supply, which is how trade buyers identify what they want to purchase. Naming a brand is not a claim of endorsement, partnership, sponsorship or exclusivity, and no such relationship should be inferred.

Brand assets and illustrative photography

We do not scrape brand websites, and we do not reproduce assets licensed to anyone else. Product photographs in the catalogue are independently licensed for commercial use, and every one is credited at image credits.

Those photographs identify goods we are able to procure and supply. They are not supplied or approved by the trademark owners, and no authorisation, endorsement or distribution right should be inferred from their presence. No packaging specification should be read from them either — volume, closure, case configuration and production origin come from our records and are confirmed at quotation.

Where no product photograph has been verified for a brand, the catalogue shows a general brewing photograph marked Illustrative instead — hops, malt, brewing plant, kegs or storage. Those do not depict the brand alongside which they appear, and are labelled as such wherever they are shown.

If you are a rights holder and believe content on this site misrepresents your brand or our relationship to it, contact us using the details in the footer and we will address it promptly.

Territorial rights

Distribution rights for branded beer differ by territory, and in some cases the same brand is lawfully sold under different names in different markets. Product availability is subject to stock, destination, packaging specification, applicable trademark rights and territorial distribution restrictions, and destinations engaging a restriction are reviewed before any quotation is issued.
