Terms and conditions of sale

Purchase

Purchase procedure

Each submitted order constitutes an offer for the purchase of products. WP reserves the right, at its unquestionable judgement, to accept or refuse the Order after having checked the availability of the product in question, at the conditions stated in the purchase proposal. The User must select the products and complete the check-out, after having carefully checked the information contained in the order summary. The order is finalized by confirming the order and is subject to payment of the price, taxes and shipping and payment costs indicated in the Order Summary form.

The Order summary does not constitute acceptance of the order. The contract is concluded when the Order Confirmation is sent by WinePlatform to the email address provided by the User. WinePlatform reserves the right not to confirm an order, notifying the User within 5 working days of placing the order, at the email address associated with the purchase, about the unavailability of one or more products he/she has purchased. In this case, WinePlatform will refund the price and shipping costs incurred by the User.

Changing an order

Users may change a purchase order after sending it by contacting the company’s customer service at the e-mail address and telephone numbers provided in the following section.

Customer service

Customer service is available from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and on Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm and will respond to customer enquiries on the e-mail address: info@wineplatform.it and on the telephone number +39 02 87 18 77 50. The customer service uses a ticketing system to correctly manage the Users’ requests.

The customer service department reserves a maximum period of 72 hours to process and correctly handle customers’ requests. Any requests received during the holidays will be dealt with on the first working day after the holidays.

Payment methods

WP uses third party instruments to process payments and does not in any way enter into contact with payment data - such as credit card data – provided by Users.

Any payment processing costs not accepted by WP will be charged to the User.

All prices are inclusive of VAT and expressed in Euro. The total Price resulting at the end of the Order is inclusive of shipping costs.

In order to guarantee secure payments, WP uses Braintree as a secure payment gateway (SSL) which is an interface with the main payment circuits, including Amex, Mastercard, Visa, PostePay and PayPal. Furthermore, for orders placed by customers within Italy only, a cash on delivery service is available.

The conditions of use of the PayPal service are available at the following link.

The conditions of use of the Braintree service are available at the following link.

Prior authorisation for future payments via PayPal

In case of payment by means of a PayPal account, during the purchase WP will store an identification code matched to the customer's PayPal account, which authorizes WP to an exclusive use of the account related to future purchases.

Users can revoke the above authorisation at any time, through the Platform interface or by contacting WP directly.

Retention of title

Until the price of the ordered products has been paid in full, the products remain the property of TDC Agricoltura Sarl.

Product Availability

TDC Agricoltura Sarl may change the prices, descriptions or availability of the products on display without notice, on the understanding that the price charged to the user will be the one published on the product information sheet at the time the order is sent.

The photos on the platform are indicative only and may not constitute an exact representation of the products.

Upon TDC Agricoltura Sarl instructions, WP will present the characteristics of the products with the greatest possible degree of detail on the Platform and within each product sheet viewed by the User. However, the images and colours of the products offered for sale on the Platform may differ from the real ones due to a number of factors, including, by way of example and not exclusively, the User's screen, photographic filters, etc.. Therefore, the User acknowledges and accepts that any such minor differences do not constitute a lack of conformity of the products.

In of unavailability of the ordered Product, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by law and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Italian Civil Code, the user will be promptly informed by e-mail or telephone. The user will therefore be entitled to terminate the contract, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of Art. 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Italian Consumer Code. In case the user avails himself of the right of termination pursuant to art. 61, IV and V paragraph of the Italian Consumer Code or in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already been made, WP will refund this amount without undue delay and no later than 15 working days from the date of collection. This amount shall normally be credited to the same means of payment used by the user for the purchase or through the alternative means agreed on by the user and WP. Any delays in crediting may depend on the bank, credit card type or payment solution used.

Execution of the Order

The Order shall be executed within the terms specified in the summary page and in the Order and Shipment Confirmation email, subject to availability of the ordered product. WP shall not be liable for damages suffered by the User due to delays in delivery that are not due to circumstances foreseeable by the parties at the time of sending the Order and Shipment Confirmation.

Shipping

Shipping costs vary depending on the size, weight and destination of the chosen items.

Free shipping is also available for orders above a certain amount, depending on the destination. Restrictions may be applied on the quantity of products that can be purchased, for orders placed outside the European Union.

All delivery information, tax and duty details, as well as the shipping destination can be viewed at the following link.

Deliveries are made by Milkman in Milan and Turin; by BRT, SDA, GLS, UPS in the rest of Italy; by UPS Express Courier and San Marino Mail in Europe and around the world with varying times depending on the destination. Please note that delivery times are only approximate and are calculated from the day of shipment.

WP does not assume responsibility for delays in customs clearance but is committed to minimizing any inconvenience.

Order tracking

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail containing all the details of your purchase. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your order will be dispatched within one working day after the order date. As soon as the package is delivered to the courier, it can be electronically tracked and the system calculates an estimated day of arrival. You can follow the delivery progress by accessing the courier tracking page via the link we will send you.

Customs clearance and duties

Customs duties are calculated according to the regulations of the country of transit of goods. As a rule, customs duties are always charged to the recipient of the shipment before delivery. WP and the courier do not intervene directly in the process of the shipment’s customs clearance. This type of operation is always managed by the Customs Authorities of the country in which the goods transit.

Customs clearance costs and any other additional charges shall be borne by the User.

If you have made a shipment within the EU, no customs tax will be charged on your shipment.

Delivery

Deliveries are made during normal working hours to the address provided by the User and in the manner specified in the order summary.

It is the User's responsibility to check the condition of the Product delivered to him/her. It is also understood that the risk of loss or damage of the Products, for reasons not attributable to WP, is transferred to the User at the moment when the User, or a third party designated by the latter and different from the courier, materially comes into possession of the Product. The user is advised to check the number of Products received and to make sure that the packaging is intact, not damaged, not wet or in any way altered, even in the materials used to close the package, and the user is invited, in his/her interest. In case the User notices anything out of the ordinary, we urge him/her to declare it on the carrier's transport document and accept the package with reservation. Receiving the Products without reserve, in fact, does not allow the User to take legal action against the courier in case of loss or damage to the Products, except in the case where the loss or damage is due to the courier’s intent or gross negligence and except for partial loss or damage not recognizable at the time of delivery. In the latter case, the damage needs to be reported as soon as it comes to the User’s knowledge and no later than eight days after receipt of the goods. In case the packaging shows evident signs of tampering or alteration, we also urge Users to promptly notify WP’s Customer Service thereof. In any case, the application of the rules regarding the right of withdrawal and the legal guarantee of conformity remains unchanged.

In case the User fails to pick up the products within the term established by the carrier, the products will be returned to WP, which will refund the price of the products including shipping costs. Should the User choose to select and appoint a courier himself, WP cannot be held responsible for any errors in the delivery due to inaccuracies or incompleteness of the information provided by the User when completing the purchase order, nor for damages that may have been caused to the Products after they were delivered to the carrier or delays in the delivery.

Right of withdrawal

Right of withdrawal

If the User purchases products or services on the Platform, he/she has the right to withdraw from the contract without justification, within 14 days. The withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party - other than the carrier and appointed by the User – physically possesses the goods. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must inform WP and/or TDC Agricoltura Sarl of the decision to withdraw by means of an explicit declaration sent to the contacts indicated above and before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

In order to exercise the right of withdrawal the user must send an email to: info@wineplatform.it and/or winery@castelfalfi.it with an explicit declaration of his/her decision to withdraw from the contract (Declaration of Withdrawal). As the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period is borne by the User, it is in the User’s interest to keep a copy of the email he/she sends to WP and/or TDC Agricoltura Sarl with the Withdrawal Declaration.

To this end, the User may use the following template his/her right of withdrawal:

Example of withdrawal form

Addressed to: _________________________________________

Effects of withdrawal

If the User withdraws from this contract, he/she will be refunded for all payments made to WP for the purchase in question, including delivery costs (with the exception of any additional costs resulting from the User’s possible choice of a delivery type other than the least expensive standard delivery type offered) without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which WP and/or TDC Agricoltura Sarl is informed of the User's decision to withdraw from this contract. Such refunds shall be made using the same means of payment used by the User for the initial transaction, unless the User has expressly agreed otherwise. In any case the User shall not incur any costs as a consequence of the refund. The refund may be suspended until WP and/or TDC Agricoltura Sarl receive the goods or until the User proves that the goods have been returned, whichever is earlier.

The User is requested to send back the goods and to deliver them to WP without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day he/she has communicated the intent to withdraw from this contract. The deadline is respected if the User returns the goods before the expiry of the 14-day period. The costs of the return of the goods must be anticipated by the User, but will be refunded by WP in the manner and within the limitations indicated above, which are at the expense of the User.

Limitations to the right of withdrawal

Any returned products that are damaged or used in a different and excessive way with respect to what is strictly necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and operation will be refunded after deduction of an amount corresponding to the reduction in value resulting from the damage or use. When the decrease in the value of the product is total, there shall be no refund.

The User is requested to insert a copy of the delivery document he/she received in the package.

The right of withdrawal, pursuant to art. 59 of the Italian Consumer Code, is in any case excluded in relation to:

• goods made to measure or clearly personalised;
• supply of goods that are in danger of deteriorating or expiring rapidly;
• supply of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for hygienic or health protection reasons and have been opened after delivery.

Applicability of withdrawal clauses

The clauses concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal, as well as the related consequences and exceptions, apply exclusively to the User who qualifies as a consumer of the products, i.e. the User acting for purposes unrelated to his/her business and professional activity.

Legal guarantee of conformity

All Products sold on the Platform are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity provided for by articles 128-135 of Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code) and Legislative Decree 21/2014 in implementation of Directive 2011/83/EU.

The User who purchases as a consumer has the right to a guarantee of the conformity of the products and services purchased within 24 months from the purchase and on condition that notification is given within 2 months from the discovery of the conformity defect.

In order to exercise the right of warranty, the User is required to contact WP and/or TDC Agricoltura Sarl on the contact information contained in this document, giving an accurate description of the defect found.

Should the conformity defect of the product be ascertained, the User has the right to obtain, at his choice, the repair or replacement of the product.

The User also has the right to ask TDC Agricoltura Sarl for an appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract in the following cases:

• if repair and replacement is impossible or excessively expensive;
