PAYMENT
The present Internet site allows the Customer to pay by credit card.
This allows the customer to pay directly online. Once the order has been validated on the Vendor’s site, and the order number assigned, the Customer is redirected to the secure site of the Vendor’s bank (Terminal de Paiement Electronique – TPE). This site must be displayed using the secure https:// protocol in the customer’s Internet browser.
The Eftpos terminal installed on this site carries out the enhanced identification of the customer’s bank card, known as 3D SEcure (MasterCard) or Verified by Visa (VISA). During this double identification procedure, the customer is asked to provide the following information: credit card number, expiry date and security code on the back of the card. In the second phase, the bank connects to the bank that issued the bank card, and asks the customer for further bank-specific codes. The customer must contact his bank if he has any difficulty in step 2 of the identification process.
TRANSPORT – DELIVERY TIME
Products are delivered to the delivery address indicated in the order, by the carrier appointed by the Vendor.
The Vendor undertakes to deliver the Products within a maximum of 14 working days, except in the event of extreme weather conditions making the transport of Products inadvisable (extreme heat or frost). If this deadline is not met, the Customer may ask the Vendor to cancel the order outright.
In the event of the absence of the recipient or of a person able to take possession of the products at the time of delivery, the carrier will leave a delivery notice at the delivery address indicated by the Customer.
RESERVES
The Customer may only express reservations upon delivery of the Products in the event of delivery that does not quantitatively conform to the order, or in the event that the package containing the Products is severely damaged. These reservations must be made in writing immediately to the carrier upon delivery. A copy of these reservations must be sent by post or e-mail to the Seller no later than 24 hours after these reservations have been made. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide the carrier with confirmation of these reservations.
If the above procedure has been followed, and if it is thus proved that the reservations are due to the fact that the package and the Products are badly damaged, the Seller will, at its option, refund the Customer the Price paid or make a new delivery of similar Products.
If the delivery does not comply quantitatively with the Order, the Vendor will only refund the difference in price between the Products ordered and those delivered, and only if the Products delivered are of a lower price than those ordered and paid for. No reservation can be made in relation to the taste, appearance or freshness of the Products.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
In accordance with the law in force, the buyer has a cooling-off period of 14 days from the day following receipt of the goods. The purchaser exercising this right is obliged to return the goods in their original packaging (unopened bottles) to the Vendor’s address, at his own responsibility and expense.
The Vendor will reimburse the purchaser within 14 days of the return of the Products. The refund will not include the cost of delivery to the Customer. Return shipping costs are at the Customer’s expense. The Customer must ensure that the Products are returned in suitable packaging to avoid any damage during transport.
