2. NATURE OF THE CONTRACT 

By means of this contract, Vilaviniteca.es  (NEGOCIANTS, S.L.U, with registered office in Barcelona, c/ Agullers, 7, holding tax identification number (NIF) B-60389731), sells to the customer (any individual or legal entity with which Vilaviniteca.es  enters into any sales contract on its website), and the customer purchases from Vilaviniteca.es, the product specified in the invoice/delivery note/order. The term "contract" means the sales transaction that is executed by means of this document. The term "product" means the goods that are purchased. 

3. PURCHASE PROCESS 

The purchase process is very simple, whether it is the first time you are purchasing on the website or whether you have purchased before. Two options are available: 

 

  • Purchasing as a registered customer, by logging into your account and retrieving previous data. 
  • Purchasing while registering, which allows the customer to make the purchase and register at the same time for greater convenience in future purchases.

The purchase process on the website is as follows: 

 

  1. Shopping cart: the customer chooses the desired product or service and clicks on it, after which a detailed description of the product and the price will be displayed. By pressing the "add-to-cart" button, the product is added to the shopping cart. 
  2. Billing/shipping address: the customer must select where the products will be shipped and which address should be used to issue the invoice, if any. 
  3. Shipping method: the customer must choose how the products will be shipped. This section displays possible additional shipping costs, as well as the approximate delivery dates. 
  4. Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions: the step prior to paying for the order involves accepting the privacy policy and the present General Terms and Conditions. 
  5. Payment method: the customer must choose a payment method and confirm the order by paying for it. 
 

Upon completion of the order, an email will be sent confirming receipt of the order and displaying all of the order's details, such as the chosen method of payment or the shipping address indicated. If you notice an error in the address indicated or in any other part of the order, you must immediately notify [email protected] to correct the error. 

4. PRICE 

The prices of our products are stated in euros and include the corresponding Value Added Tax (VAT) depending on the product. 
 
Vilaviniteca.es reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but the products will be invoiced on the basis of the rates in force at the time the order is registered. 

5. AVAILABILITY 

Our offers and prices are valid for as long as they are displayed on the website and always subject to stock availability. 

We reserve the right to limit the maximum number of bottles of each wine per customer. Stock will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Normally, we only offer products that we have in stock in our logistics warehouse (not all products are available in our stores). If the requested vintage year is not available, it may be substituted for the later vintage year, if available. For products not in stock, our offers will be valid subject to availability from our suppliers. Within this framework, information on product availability will be provided when each order is processed. 

If a product is not available and cannot be substituted after processing an order, the buyer will be informed by email or telephone of the delivery of only a part of the order and may choose to accept or cancel it. In any case, the customer will receive a full or partial refund within 72 hours. 

6. PAYMENT 

Payment for the product will be made online by VISA, MASTERCARD or AMEX credit card through a secure payment platform or through an eWallet payment platform.  
 
When you press the "ACCEPT" button during the order confirmation, the bank checks the validity of your credit card number and verifies that it is not blocked. The credit card will be charged at the time of purchase. 
 
All purchase transactions are carried out in strict confidentiality and using SSL encryption.  
 
Through this encryption, Vilaviniteca.es therefore guarantees the confidentiality of the data provided by the customer, preventing its communication to third parties outside the legal relationship, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable data protection regulations, in particular, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights. To strengthen security and verify the reliability of the data provided when placing an order, the company may make random requests for additional information from customers (such as a copy of their national identity card or proof of address of less than three months old) to verify that the purchase has been made by the actual cardholder. The document must be sent within five business days. Vilaviniteca.es  reserves the right to refund the order if it does not receive the requested documents or if they are not valid. 
 
In no case does Vilaviniteca.es  have access to your bank details, nor does it store them on its servers. For this reason, you will have to provide them again each time you make a new transaction on our website. This provides double protection against abuse and fraud. 
 
Vilaviniteca.es also reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a customer with whom it has a dispute regarding the payment of a previous order. 
 
Vilaviniteca.es will deliver the corresponding invoice to the customer where the customer requests this when filling out the purchase process details.  

 7. DELIVERY

  • Delivery to capitals of the Autonomous Communities: 24-48 working hours (may vary in August and December*).

* During the months of August and December, the delivery time may be 2-3 additional working days longer than the indicated delivery times.  
 
Products are shipped to the address indicated by the customer when this is placing the order. To optimize delivery times, we provide the buyer with the opportunity to indicate an address to which the order can be delivered during working hours from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. The carrier may use your contact details to communicate the status of the delivery by SMS or email. 
 
If the carrier attempts to deliver the package to you and there is no one to receive it, it will leave a note recording the delivery attempt. Please contact the office of the carrier as soon as possible using the telephone number provided in the note to arrange a new delivery. 
If on the second delivery attempt no one is available to receive it, a note will be left again recording the second delivery attempt. Following the second failed attempt, your order will remain at the carrier's office for 15 days. Once this term has elapsed, your order will be returned to our warehouse. 
 
When you receive your package, you must: 

  1. Check that the goods received are compliant at the time of delivery. 
  2. Record any anomaly on the delivery note, stating your reservations and including your signature.
  3. Carriers will not allow the goods to be returned if the customer opens them in their presence, but you can check the box from the outside and if you detect that the box is wet or damp, do not accept the order. Our partner will notify us of the incident and we will automatically process a new delivery at no cost to you.

You may check the transport costs here. 

8. CANCELLATIONS, RETURNS AND WITHDRAWALS  

The consumer-customer will have the right to withdraw from the contract during a period of 14 calendar days from receipt of the order without having to provide any reasons and without incurring any cost other than the cost of the return—which must be borne by the consumer, except where the product has been opened, tampered with or exposed to unsuitable conditions. You can notify the exercise of your right to withdrawal by means of the attached form (it may be sent by email or to our postal address) or by submitting any other type of unequivocal statement indicating your decision to withdraw from the contract within this period, by sending it to the email address [email protected]. In the latter case, we remind you that the burden of proving the exercise of the right to withdrawal will fall to the consumer-customer. 
 
In the event of withdrawal on your part, we will refund any money received from you, at no additional cost (except for delivery costs) without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which we became aware of your decision to withdraw from the contract. However, we may withhold the refund until we have received the goods or until you provide proof of return of the goods, whichever condition is met first. 
 
If this period elapses without you communicating your wish to withdraw, no exchange or refund will be accepted. 
 
You may not withdraw from the contract in the following cases, among others (Article 103 of Spanish Legislative Royal Decree 1/2007, of November 16, which approves the revised text of the General Law on the Defense of Consumers and Users): 
 

  • Supplies of goods prepared according to the consumer's specifications or clearly customized goods. - 
  • Supplies of perishable goods or goods that may rapidly expire.
  • Supplies of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health or hygiene reasons and whose seal has been broken after delivery.
  • Supplies of alcoholic beverages whose price was agreed upon at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract and which it has not been possible to deliver within 30 days, where the actual value depends on market fluctuations beyond the company's control. 

The right of return cannot be exercised when there are indications that the products have been opened, manipulated or exposed to unsuitable conditions.  
  
If the products to be returned are not protected with their original packaging or the packaging in question is not fit for purpose, is damaged or shows signs of any defect that could prevent their subsequent sale, the customer must pay the cost of the corresponding packaging.  
 
No package will be accepted if it lacks any of the sender's identification details (name, surname, address, order number).  
 
Once Vilaviniteca.es has received the returned product, and provided that the product is returned in the same conditions in which it was delivered to the customer by Vilaviniteca.es, the company will send the product to its technicians and experts to assess whether the content of the product retains the same organoleptic characteristics or whether it has been compromised due to incorrect handling by the customer or due to being subjected to conditions falling outside the ordinary purposes for which the product was intended. If it is proven that the product has suffered a drop in value due to the above circumstances, the customer will be liable for such drop in value.  
 
The return of the products ordered will give rise to the refund of all amounts paid by the user. 
 
The cost of the return will be borne by the user. 
 
Excluded from this scenario are goods returned due to an error on our part or due to a defect or lack of conformity of the product. In particular, if you make the purchase with us as a consumer and user, we offer a statutory guarantee on the products that we sell through Vilaviniteca.es, in the terms legally foreseen, and therefore, assume liability for any products that are non-compliant at the time of delivery. In such case, Vilaviniteca.es undertakes to exchange the defective product for an equal one or refund the amount. It will also bear, as applicable, the cost of the return and subsequent re-shipment. 
 
To make a return, please contact us by phone on +34 937 777 017 or by sending the attached form filled out in full to the following email address: [email protected]. You will receive an email acknowledging receipt of the return notification. 
 
We will not accept any exchange or refund if we have not previously received a notification.
