Terms of delivery
Les Vignobles Foncalieu has chosen the carrier DHL to deliver its Products.
The Customer may choose among the delivery options (address and delivery date) proposed by the DHL carrier.
For further details on delivery terms and conditions, the Customer may refer to the documents available –> here <-- Delivery will take place at the delivery address indicated by the Customer at the time of ordering and at the date and time agreed with the DHL carrier. The customer is solely responsible for any failure to deliver due to incorrect or missing information at the time of ordering. The customer undertakes to be present on the agreed date, or to entrust the receipt of the goods to a third party of his choice. In the event of absence, a second delivery will be made the following day. If the recipient is still not present, an SMS will be sent again to reschedule the appointment. If delivery is still not made after this second appointment, Les Vignobles Foncalieu will request the return of the goods. The cost of "return" transport and, where applicable, reshipment will be borne by the customer. Delivery charges Delivery charges are clearly detailed in the order and included in the price to be paid. Delivery charges include packaging, handling and postage. Amounts may vary according to delivery method. In any case, the amount of the delivery costs is indicated to the Customer with the validation of the order. Delivery time Delivery times are given in working days and correspond to the average time for availability, preparation and dispatch of the order, from the time of order confirmation. The indicative delivery time for customers is as follows: 2 to 5 working days. Delivery is constituted by the transfer to the Customer of physical possession of the Product. The deadline is given as an indication. However, if the Products have not been delivered within 7 days of the indicative delivery date, and if this delay is not due to Force Majeure or an act of the Customer, the latter may cancel the sale subject to compliance with the conditions set out in Articles L216-2 et seq. of the French Consumer Code: Sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the following address: Les Vignobles Foncalieu, Domaine de Corneille, 11290 Arzens, or by writing on another durable medium, or by another writing on a durable medium (electronic message for example) enjoining Les Vignobles Foncalieu to make the delivery or provide the service within a reasonable additional period of time. In the event that Les Vignobles Foncalieu has not complied with this new deadline, the Customer may, in the same way, inform Les Vignobles Foncalieu that it is terminating the Contract. The Contract shall be deemed to have been terminated on receipt of the letter or writing informing the professional of such termination, unless he has performed between the sending of the letter by the consumer and its receipt. The sums paid by the Customer will then be reimbursed in full no later than fourteen (14) days following the date of termination of the Contract. The Customer is responsible for checking that the Products delivered are in good condition. Any anomaly noted (missing product, damaged parcel, broken product, etc.) must be indicated on receipt of the parcel in the presence of the carrier.

Les Vignobles Foncalieu reserves ownership of the Product until full payment of the order, i.e. receipt of the order price by Les Vignobles Foncalieu, regardless of the date of delivery of the Product.
Whatever the date of transfer of ownership of the Products, the transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating to them will only take place when the Customer takes physical possession of the Products.

The Customer and Les Vignobles Foncalieu shall not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in performance of any of their obligations as described herein is due to force majeure, as defined in article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Customer benefits from a withdrawal period of fourteen days from receipt of their order by the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer.

During this period, the Customer has the right to return the Products, without having to justify his reasons or pay any penalty, for exchange or reimbursement.
This right of withdrawal is exercised provided that the Products are returned in their original packaging, in perfect condition, unopened, within 14 days of notification to Les Vignobles Foncalieu of the Customer’s decision to withdraw.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories) to enable them to be remarketed as new, accompanied by the purchase invoice.
To exercise this right, the Customer must notify his decision to withdraw:

By post to the following address Les Vignobles Foncalieu, Domaine de Corneille, 11290 Arzens, using the withdrawal form available in the appendix to these GTCS

Using the electronic form available for download –> HERE <-- or in the "Legal notice" section at the foot of the page. By means of an unambiguous statement expressing the customer's wish to withdraw from the contract and addressed to Les Vignobles Foncalieu, Domaine de Corneille, 11290, Arzens. In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal within the aforementioned period, only the price of the Product(s) purchased and the delivery costs will be reimbursed; the cost of returning the Product(s) will be borne by the Customer. It is recommended that the Customer use a parcel tracking service to return the Product. The customer must keep proof of delivery of the parcel to the service provider responsible for the return. In the event of a dispute, proof of shipment rests with the Customer. In the absence of this proof, no exchange or refund will be made in the event of loss of the parcel. Reimbursement of payments received, including delivery charges, will be made within 14 days of the day on which Les Vignobles Foncalieu is informed of the decision to withdraw. However, Les Vignobles Foncalieu may defer reimbursement until it has received the Product or until the Customer has provided proof of shipment of the Product, whichever comes first. Les Vignobles Foncalieu will make the refund using the same means of payment that the Customer used for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different means. Les Vignobles Foncalieu reminds the Customer that the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for contracts for the supply of alcoholic beverages whose delivery is deferred beyond thirty days and whose value agreed at the conclusion of the contract depends on market fluctuations beyond the control of the professional.

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Products supplied by Les Vignobles Foncalieu benefit by right and without additional payment, independently of the right of withdrawal, from the legal guarantee of conformity under the conditions of article 211-4 and following of the Consumer Code for Products apparently defective, damaged or not corresponding to the order, and from the legal guarantee of hidden defects provided for in articles 1641 and following of the Civil Code.

When the Customer acts under the legal warranty of conformity, he :
Has a period of two years from delivery of the property to take action
May choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions set forth in Article 211-9 of the French Consumer Code;
Is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 24 months following the delivery of the good.
This legal warranty applies independently of any commercial warranty granted by Les Vignobles Foncalieu.

The customer benefits from the warranty against hidden defects of the item sold as defined in article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, he may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

Legal warranty of conformity
A Product is in conformity if it corresponds to the description given by Les Vignobles Foncalieu and if it has the qualities that a purchaser may legitimately expect.

The Customer may not, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect of which he was aware or could not have been unaware when he contracted or the fact that the Product does not correspond to a special intended use and which has not been brought to the attention of Les Vignobles Foncalieu.
In addition, the warranty does not cover defects, deterioration or anomalies of any kind which did not exist at the time of delivery of the Product and which result, in particular, from abnormal use or storage of the Products by the Customer.

Legal warranty against hidden defects
Les Vignobles Foncalieu warrants against all harmful consequences of defects and latent defects that may be revealed by the Products sold, provided that the latter are reported without delay to Les Vignobles Foncalieu and in any event within two years of the discovery of the defect.
Upon delivery of the order, the Customer must check the Products. Les Vignobles Foncalieu shall not be held liable for defects that the Customer could detect after an apparent examination of the delivered Product.
All deterioration, including aesthetic deterioration, resulting from defects or hidden faults which appear with use and of which the Customer could not have been aware at the time of delivery, are covered by the warranty, provided that they render the Product unfit for the use for which it is intended, or reduce this use to such an extent that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of them.
In any event, the Customer must provide proof of the existence of the hidden defect on the date of delivery of the Product.
