– the contract is concluded when the order form reaches Tenimenti Grieco’s server;

– once the order form has been registered, Tenimenti Grieco will send the user, via e-mail to the e-mail address indicated, confirmation of the order, containing information regarding the characteristics of the Product purchased, the detailed indication of the price, the means of payment used, the delivery costs and any additional costs, as well as the Customer Service contacts, to which the user can turn to for assistance and/or to submit complaints. We recommend that you keep the e-mail received as proof of purchase. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale and information on the right of withdrawal, as well as the Privacy Policy of Tenimenti Grieco, will be available through links at the bottom of the order confirmation e-mails of the purchased Product that refer to the relevant pages of the Site. [CBM1].

– the order form will be filed in the Tenimenti Grieco database for the time necessary to process the order and, in any case, within the terms of the law. To access your order form the user can consult your account.

 

5. VALIDITY OF OFFERS AND PRICES

5.1 All prices of the Products are expressed in Euro (€) and are inclusive of Value Added Tax (“VAT”), unless otherwise stated. Any additional cost will be expressly and separately indicated in the order form, before the user submits it.

5.2 The price of the Products may be modified by Tenimenti Grieco at any time, without prior notice, it being understood that the price charged to the user will be that published on the information sheet that illustrates the main characteristics of the Product (Product Sheet) at the time the order is sent. No account will be taken of any changes (up or down) in price after the order has been sent.

5.3 Products may be offered for sale at discounted prices on the Site. The full price indicated on the Site (Barred Price) and from which the discount that Tenimenti Grieco applies is calculated corresponds to the list price published on the Site.

 

6. PURCHASE ORDERS – PRODUCT INFORMATION

6.1 Tenimenti Grieco will process the purchase order, and then will ship the purchased Product, with the exception of orders for which the Customer has chosen “cash to courier” as method of payment, only after receiving confirmation of authorization to pay the total amount due, consisting of the purchase price, delivery charges, if applied, and any other additional costs, as indicated in the order form (Total Amount Due). In the event that the Total Amount Due is not paid or the successful outcome of the payment is not confirmed, the purchase contract shall therefore be considered terminated by right pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code.

6.2 The Products shall remain the property of Tenimenti Grieco until payment of the Total Amount Due has been made by the user. The risk of loss or damage to the Products, for reasons not attributable to Tenimenti Grieco, instead, will be transferred to the user when the user, or a third party designated by the same and different from the carrier, materially comes into possession of the Products.

6.3 Each Product is accompanied by a Product Sheet. The images and descriptions on the Site reproduce as faithfully as possible the characteristics of the Products. The images of the Product in the Product Data Sheet may also differ in terms of vintage and/or size or in relation to any accessory products. Such images must therefore be understood as indicative and with tolerances for use. For the purposes of the purchase contract, the description of the Product contained in the order form submitted by the user will be considered as valid.

6.4 All Products contain sulphites, as the wine production process itself implies the presence of sulphites in the wine. However, it is possible that other sulphites are added in the wine production process; in some cases, however, it is possible that no “added” sulphites are present in a wine.

6.5 The purchase of gift vouchers does not affect the payment threshold which, once exceeded, gives the user the right to obtain free shipping of the Products.

 

7. AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

7.1 The products offered on the Site are limited in number. It may therefore happen, also due to the possibility that several users purchase the same Product at the same time, that the Product ordered is no longer available after the transmission of the purchase order.

7.2 In any case 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 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 effects of the provisions of Article 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code. In the event that the user makes use of the right of termination pursuant to art. 61, IV and V paragraph, Consumer Code or in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already been made, Tenimenti Grieco will refund this amount without undue delay and, in any case, within 15 working days from the date of collection. This amount will normally be credited to the same means of payment used by the user for the purchase or the different means agreed between the user and Tenimenti Grieco. Any delays in crediting may depend on the bank, credit card type or payment solution used.

7.3 In the case of orders involving a number of Products (Multiple Order), if the unavailability concerns only some Products that are the subject of the Multiple Order, 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, and without prejudice to the application of art. 7.2, Tenimenti Grieco will immediately inform the user by e-mail or telephone. The user will, therefore, be entitled to terminate the contract, limited to the Product(s) become unavailable, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of Article 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code. In the event that the user avails himself of the right of termination referred to in art. 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code, in relation to the Product(s) become unavailable or in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already been made, Tenimenti Grieco will refund the amount due in relation to such Product(s), including delivery costs and any other additional costs due in relation specifically to such Product(s) (Partial Amount Due) without undue delay and, in any case, within a maximum of 15 working days from the sending of the order. The amount of the refund will be communicated to you by e-mail or telephone. This amount will be credited to the same means of payment used by the user for the purchase or by any means agreed between the parties. Any delays in crediting may depend on the bank, credit card type or payment solution used. The termination of the entire Multiple Order will be possible only in the case of obvious and proven accessories of the Products subject to the Multiple Order that have become unavailable compared to the other available Products subject to the Multiple Order.

 

8. DELIVERY OF PURCHASED PRODUCTS

8.1 The amount of delivery costs due by the user in relation to a specific order, is expressly and separately indicated (in Euro and including VAT) during the purchase process, in the order summary and, in any case, before the user transmits the same. In the case of failure to indicate a specific delivery term, it will, in any case, take place within thirty days from the date of conclusion of the contract.

8.2 The delivery obligation is fulfilled by transferring the material availability or in any case the control of the Products to the user.

It is up to the user to check the conditions of the Product delivered to him/her. Without prejudice to the fact that the risk of loss or damage of the Products, for reasons not attributable to Tenimenti Grieco is transferred to the user when the user, or a third party designated by the same and different from the carrier, materially comes into possession of the Product, the user is recommended to verify the number of Products received and that the packaging is intact, not damaged, nor wet or otherwise altered, even in the closing materials and we invite him, in his interest, to indicate on the transport document of the carrier, any anomalies, accepting the package with RESERVE. The unreserved receipt of the Products, in fact, does not allow the user to take legal action against the courier and / or Tenimenti Grieco, in case of loss or damage to the Products, unless the loss or damage is due to intent or gross negligence of the courier and except for partial loss or damage not recognizable at the time of delivery, provided that in the latter case, the damage is reported as soon as known and no later than eight days after receipt. In the event that the packaging shows obvious signs of tampering or alteration, it is also recommended that the user give prompt notice to Tenimenti Grieco Customer Service. In any case, the application of the rules on the right of withdrawal and the legal guarantee of conformity remains unchanged.

8.3 The provisions of art. 61 of the Consumer Code apply in the event that the purchased Product is not delivered or is delivered late with respect to the delivery terms indicated during the purchase process and in the order confirmation.

 

9. METHOD OF PAYMENT

9.1 Payment for the Products may be made by credit card, PayPal, cash on delivery or bank transfer. In the event that one of these payment means/solutions cannot be used in relation to a specific Product, this will be clearly indicated on the Site, at the latest at the beginning of the purchase procedure.

9.2 Payment by credit or debit card

9.2.1 Payment for the Products may be made by credit or debit card directly through the Site.

9.2.2 In order to guarantee the security of payments made on the Site and to prevent possible frauds, Tenimenti Grieco reserves the right to ask the user, by e-mail, to send, by the same means, a double-sided copy of his/her identity card and, if the holder of the order is different from the holder of the card, of the latter’s identity card. The document must be valid. The e-mail request will specify the deadline by which the document must be received by Tenimenti Grieco. This deadline will not, in any case, exceed 5 working days from receipt of the request by the user. Pending receipt of the requested document, the order will be suspended. The user is required to send the requested documents within the indicated deadline.

9.2.3 In the event that Tenimenti Grieco does not receive these documents within the deadline specified in the request e-mail or receives expired or invalid documents, the contract shall be considered terminated by right pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 1456 c.c. and Tenimenti Grieco may reserve the right to cancel the order, with consequent refund of the Total Amount Due.

9.2.4 In the case of receipt by Tenimenti Grieco of valid documentation within the term indicated in the e-mail referred to in art. 9.3.2 above, the delivery terms will start from the date of receipt of the same.

9.2.5 Confidential credit card details (card number, holder, expiry date, security code) are encrypted and transmitted directly to the payment manager without passing through the servers used by Tenimenti Grieco. Tenimenti Grieco therefore never has access to and does not store the data of the credit card used by the user for the payment of the Products (even if the user has decided to store the credit card data on the Site), with the exception of the name of the credit card holder.

9.3 Payment by PayPal payment solution

9.3.1 The payment of the Products purchased on the Site can be made through the PayPal payment solution. If the user chooses PayPal as the payment method, he or she will be redirected to the site www.paypal.it where he or she will pay for the Products according to the procedure provided for and regulated by PayPal and the terms and conditions of contract agreed between the user and PayPal. The data entered on the PayPal website will be processed directly by the same and will not be transmitted or shared with Tenimenti Grieco. The latter is therefore not able to know and does not store in any way the data of the credit card connected to the user’s PayPal account or the data of any other payment instrument connected to such account.

9.3.2 In the case of payment by PayPal, the Total Amount Due will be charged by PayPal to the user at the same time as the conclusion of the contract through the Site. In case of termination of the purchase contract and in any other case of refund, for any reason, the amount of the refund due to the user will be credited to the user’s PayPal account, unless otherwise agreed between the User and Tenimenti Grieco. The time of crediting the payment instrument connected to this account depends exclusively on PayPal and the banking system. Once the order to credit the account, Tenimenti Grieco can not be held responsible for any delays or omissions in crediting the user with the refund amount, to dispute which the user must contact PayPal directly.

9.4 Cash on delivery

9.4.1 In the case of cash on delivery, the user must have the Total Amount Due in cash at the time of delivery. The courier is not authorized to accept cheques. In the event that, for any reason, the customer who has chosen cash on delivery as the means of payment should be entitled to a refund, Tenimenti Grieco will agree with the user by e-mail or telephone how to make such refund.

9.5 Bank transfer

9.5.1 If the user decides to pay by bank transfer, the order will be shipped as soon as Tenimenti Grieco has received the credit of the amount related to the order.

 

10. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

10.1 The user who is a consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with Tenimenti Grieco without incurring costs other than those indicated in this article and without having to specify the reason, within fourteen (14) calendar days (Withdrawal Period). The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:

1. a) in the case of an order for a single Product, from the day you or a third party other than the carrier and designated by you acquire physical possession of the Product;

2. b) in the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day on which you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the last Product;

3. c) in the case of an Order for the delivery of a Product consisting of multiple lots or pieces, from the day on which the user or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the user, acquires physical possession of the last lot or piece.

10.2. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must inform Tenimenti Grieco of its decision to withdraw, before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period.

10.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal the user must send an email to info@tenimentigrieco.it with an explicit declaration of his decision to withdraw from the contract (Declaration of Withdrawal). Since 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 sent to Tenimenti Grieco with the Declaration of Withdrawal.

10.4 For the return of the Product, the user may use a carrier of his own choice with return costs borne by the user: in this case, the user, after exercising the right of withdrawal in the manner indicated in this article, must return the Product to Tenimenti Grieco, using a carrier of his own choice and at his own expense, without undue delay and in any case within 14 calendar days from the date on which he notified Tenimenti Grieco of his decision to withdraw. The deadline is respected if the user returns the Product before the expiry of the fourteen day period. The Product, properly protected and packaged, must be sent to the following address:

Tenimenti Grieco

C.da Difensola – 86045 PORTOCANNONE (CB)

Phone 0875.59.00.32 , Hours: 8:30-12:30 14:00-16:30

The direct costs of returning the Product to Tenimenti Grieco are the responsibility of the user. The return of the Product to Tenimenti Grieco is the responsibility of the user.

If the user has used a discount code for the purchase of the Product for which he has exercised the right of withdrawal, the refund will be made only with reference to the amount of money actually spent by the user, and not also with regard to the value of the discount code.

10.5 If the user withdraws from the contract, Tenimenti Grieco will refund the Total Amount Due paid by the user for the Product, without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 calendar days from the day in which Tenimenti Grieco received the Products subject to withdrawal in the same conditions in which they were sold. The refund will be made using the same means of payment used by the user for the initial transaction or the different means agreed between the parties; in any case, the user will not incur any additional cost as a consequence of such refund.

10.6 In the case of partial withdrawal, the amount of the delivery costs to be returned to the user following the withdrawal will be calculated in proportion to the value of the goods subject to withdrawal.

10.7 The user is only liable for the decrease in value of the goods resulting from handling the Product other than those necessary to recognize the Product with certainty. The Product must in any case be stored, handled and inspected with normal diligence and returned intact, complete in all its parts, accompanied by all accessories present, still attached to the Product and intact and not tampered with, as well as free of signs of wear or dirt. The withdrawal, moreover, applies to the Product in its entirety. It cannot therefore be exercised in relation to parts and/or accessories (which do not constitute autonomous Products) of the Product.

10.8 If the withdrawal has not been exercised in accordance with the applicable legislation, it will not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, will not give right to any refund. Tenimenti Grieco will inform the user, rejecting the request for withdrawal. The Product, if already received by Tenimenti Grieco, will remain at Tenimenti Grieco at the user’s disposal for the withdrawal, which must take place at the expense and under the responsibility of the user.

10.9 In the event that the Product for which the withdrawal has been exercised has suffered a decrease in value resulting from manipulation of the goods other than that necessary to clearly identify the same, the refund amount will be reduced by an amount equal to this decrease in value. Tenimenti Grieco will inform the user of the circumstance and the resulting reduced amount of reimbursement Tenimenti Grieco will inform the user, providing the same, if the reimbursement has already been paid, the bank details for the payment of the amount due by the user because of the decrease in value of the Product.

10.10 In the event that, in one of the hypothesis of law, the right of withdrawal does not apply, this exclusion will be given specific and express notice in the Product Sheet and, in any case, during the purchase process, before the user proceeds to transmit the order. In any case, the user is reminded that, pursuant to art. 59 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is excluded, among other things, if the sale has as its object:

(i) products made to measure or clearly personalized;

(ii) sealed products that are not suitable to be returned for hygienic or health protection reasons, which have been opened after delivery.
