Terms and Conditions

1. Prices
   Prices are in Euro per bottle or GBP per case (12x75cl or equivalent) as indicated and are exclusive of VAT and duty. Selling prices do not include any delivery charges. Buying prices assume the seller will deliver at their own expense to our account at Octavian, Wilts, UK.
2. Payment
   Payment is due on invoice, and may be made by bank transfer or UK cheque. Until all sums due to us have been paid we shall be entitled to retain possession of any goods to which you would otherwise be entitled. If any payment is overdue we shall be entitled to cancel any outstanding trade and/or suspend suspend deliveries/collections.
   We will pay for purchases only after the goods having completed a satisfactory inspection at our warehouse.
3. Title and Risk
   We shall retain title to all goods sold by us until all the sums due from you in respect of any order have been paid. Risk in all goods shall pass to you as soon as they have been delivered or when we notify you that they are available for collection.
4. Delivery
   We will notify you once wines are available for collection. We may agree to deliver wines within the UK, in which case delivery charges will apply.
5. Acceptance
   You undertake to inspect all goods when collecting or immediately on delivery and to notify ourselves or the carrier forthwith of any shortage or damage or other deficiency. You will be deemed to have accepted the goods as satisfying your order three days after collection/delivery, and thereafter will not be entitled to reject wines for any reason.
6. Force Majeure
   We shall not be liable for any failure to meet our obligations occasioned by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
7. Description/Quality
   We undertake the proper safekeeping and storage of wines in our possession and will act in good faith when purchasing wine, but we will not be responsible for the state and condition of wines or whether the wine corresponds to the qualities which might be expected from its description.
   
   We reserve the right to demand replacements for any stock supplied to us which does not satisfy the following minimum condition requirements: under bond with clean unmarked labels, sound capsules, fill levels of base neck or higher, free of US or Far Eastern export strip labels and packed in the original case without defacement.
   
8. Orders
   The placing and accepting of oral orders shall form a contract on these terms, conditional upon our written confirmation of order which may be by the delivery of an invoice or purchase order.
9. Law
   All our contracts are made under English Law and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
