Shipping

We undertake to insure the goods for during their transport in mainland France and they are carried at our own risk. Our deliveries take, on average, 10 days as from the date the order settlement is received in our Quinsac offices. This delivery timeline is indicated so as to be as accurate as possible, but may vary in terms of supply possibilities and transport from Château Roquebert, as well as in terms of weather conditions. A late delivery cannot lead to damages, witholding payment or cancelling an order in progress. In any case, if one month after a customer has sent a written complaint the goods have still not been delivered, the sale can be resolved by one party or the other. The customers will be refunded, with no damages, within one month. In any event, delivery will only be provided on time if the customer has communicated the accurate address for delivery to the vendor. If there is any error in the latter, Château Roquebert will not be held responsible if it is unable to deliver the goods at the right time to the right place. At goods reception, it is the recipient’s responsibility to check the condition of the goods and report any breakages, damage or missing articles on the delivery note, and within the next 48 hours the recipient must send it by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt to the transporter, with a copy to the vendor, in order to preserve his/her legal rights. If there is a particular situation where the customer commits to collecting the goods him or herself, which has to be done within 2 months at most following notification that the goods are ready for collection, Château Roquebert will have the right to invoice extra storage costs at the amount of 12 Euros incl. VAT per case and per month. 

 

Right of withdrawal

The customer has a period of seven clear days as from the order delivery date to return any unwanted products in their orginal packaging, for an exchange or for a refund, with no penalties apart from return transport costs. In all cases, the customer will be obliged inform the sales department of his/her decision in writing (e-mail, fax or letter) before returning the goods. These provisions, however, do not apply in the particular cases of products ordered with any customization or a specific request from the customer at the time of ordering (special formats, customized packaging etc). In the case of the products ordered being out of stock, Château Roquebert will be able to make a proposal for replacing these products, with the customer’s agreement, either by a different vintage or by an equivalent wine. If the customer exercises his/her right of withdrawal for a replacement product, the return transport costs will be carried by Château Roquebert.

 

Retention of Title Clause

By specific agreement, all goods remain our property until settlement in full of the invoices due. This will not prevent the buyer becoming liable for the goods as from delivery.

 

Contract Termination

If a customer does not pay or does not collect the goods within the agreed time, and if the formal notice has remained without effect, the sale will be automatically rescinded at the vendor’s discretion and any advances paid by the buyer will be refunded . The vendor has the possibility to demand by court order that the products that have already been delivered, if there are any, be returned with no loss or damages.
