Terms and conditions

ARTICLE 1. APPLICATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (T&Cs.)

These terms and conditions of sale apply to the products on SARL VINCENOT & FILS e-commerce website: www.chateauprince.fr

They are freely available to the buyer, who may consult them at any time.

The fact that the Customer ticks the box ‘I have read the terms and conditions of sale and I accept them’ before validating his/her order automatically implies his/her express acceptance, without restriction or reservation, of these terms and conditions of sale.

The personal information collected for the purposes of distance selling is compulsory, as this information is essential for the proper processing and delivery of orders. Failure to provide this information will result in the order not being validated.

The seller is free to modify these T&Cs at any time. Any modification of the T&Cs will only apply to sales concluded after the modification, the dates appearing on the notice of receipt of the order sent to the buyer being taken as proof.

SARL VINCENOT & FILS reserves the right, for any new customer, to ask for proof of identity and address before the final validation of the order.

These T&Cs apply to sales to private individuals.

  1. Protection of minors

Article L 3342-1 of the French Public Health Code prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors under the age of eighteen (18). Consequently, by validating the order form, the Buyer undertakes to be at least eighteen (18) years of age and to have the legal capacity to purchase on the date of the order.

  1. Alcohol abuse

Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Drink in moderation.

ARTICLE 2. PRICES

The price of the products sold by SARL VINCENOT & FILS, expressed in euros (€), will be that in force on the day of the Customer’s order. However, these prices may be modified by SARL VINCENOT & FILS as a result of promotions, variations in raw materials, supplier prices, the increase or creation of taxes applicable in SARL VINCENOT & FILS’ sector of activity or as a result of any typographical errors.

The price of the product indicated includes all taxes. Delivery charges are additional. They vary according to the quantities requested and the place of delivery. The amount of the delivery charge is displayed once the order is entered.

Unless otherwise specified, delivery costs are always payable by the Buyer.

ARTICLE 3. THE ORDER

SARL VINCENOT & FILS reserves the right not to accept an order, for a legitimate reason corresponding to a problem linked to an abnormality of the order or the delivery to be made.

All orders will be honoured within the limits of available stocks. In the event that (i) the same Product is ordered by several Buyers at the same time and (ii) this Product is no longer available in sufficient quantity to satisfy all the orders, it will be sold in chronological order of the orders placed by the Buyers on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

In the event of unavailability of products after the Buyer has placed an order, SARL VINCENOT & FILS undertakes to notify the Buyer by email as soon as possible. The Buyer may then request the cancellation of his/her order or request an exchange of the products. In the event of cancellation of the order, reimbursement will be made at the latest within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the sums paid.

The photos and visuals of the Products are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not contractual.

SARL VINCENOT & FILS is not the producer of all the products available online.

ARTICLE 4. PAYMENT

Any order can only be validated if it is accompanied by payment by bank card of the full price inclusive of tax and if the amount has been credited to the bank account of SARL VINCENOT & FILS.

The Buyer must provide accurate, complete and non-fraudulent information when paying for the order. The Buyer declares and guarantees that he/she is fully capable and authorised to use the bank card and that he/she has sufficient funds, on the bank account linked to the bank card used, to pay for his/her order.

SARL VINCENOT & FILS, with the services of the financial institution Crédit Agricole, may be required to carry out checks to ensure the validity of payments and therefore to request certain supporting documents from the Buyer, which the latter undertakes to send within forty-eight hours. In the event of non-receipt of these documents within the deadlines set or of receipt of non-compliant documents, SARL VINCENOT & FILS reserves the right to cancel the order(s).

SARL VINCENOT & FILS has adopted the most effective security systems to date, which establish an encrypted connection directly between the Buyer and the bank. SARL VINCENOT & FILS uses the Systempay solution, using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and 3D Secure encryption process, but reserves the right to change systems at any time.

SARL VINCENOT & FILS has no access whatsoever to confidential information relating to the means of payment used by the Buyer at the time of payment. This is why the Buyer’s bank details will be requested each time a new order is placed.

Although SARL VINCENOT & FILS uses encrypted security softwaré, the security of information and payments transmitted over the Internet or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed. SARL VINCENOT & FILS cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of electronic means of communication.
