Unless specifically stipulated and with a written agreement between the parties, all orders are conditioned by the present general terms and conditions, prevailing over any other documents such as brochures, leaflets, press, catalogues or e-mailings issued by the seller, which only have an indicative value.

All our prices for wines which can be delivered now are valid according to availability, except for special offers, promotions and gifts. For the En-Primeur wines, reference must be made to the terms and conditions indicated on the offer, according to availability. Prices are indicated in €, including VAT and Excise duty (except for the En-Primeur wines which prices are indicated excluding VAT and Excise duty, those including VAT and excise duty being noted for information only).

Our offers are only available to private individuals. They are not available to importers or distributors. All orders are confirmed through the mailing of the invoice but are considered as final upon reception of total payment of the goods.

Payment of the goods is entirely due upon order, either by cheque, credit card (Visa, Euro MasterCard, Diners, American Express) or by bank transfer. Regarding the American Express and Diners cards, we can not be held responsible for any commission or banking charge applied by the issuing bank. Our bank details for all transfers are:
BANK OF IRELAND
Account 11221597
IBAN IE26 BOFI 9000 9211 2215 97
BIC BOFI IE2D

No payment may be postponed without our prior agreement.

An invoice indicating the prices in Euros and including VAT and excise duty will be issued by Millésima and mailed to the customer's invoicing address. Delivery to one address in Ireland is free for orders of more than Euros 760.00 (inc. VAT & duty). For orders of less than Euros 760.00 (inc. VAT & duty), a charge of Euros 45.00 will be made for transport and insurance. For each additional address in Ireland, prices are available on application.

An order of En-Primeur wines must be paid by a deposit equivalent to the total value of the wines except VAT and excise duty. Upon reception of the order and payment, a pro-forma invoice of the wines will be mailed to the customer's invoicing address. This pro-forma invoice and the proof of payment will guarantee the rightful ownership of the wines.

Once the wines become available from the châteaux, that is end 2010 beginning 2011 for the 2008 vintage and end 2011 beginning 2012 for the 2009 vintage (1 year later for Château d'Yquem, Château Climens, Château Rieussec, Château de Fargues and Château Raymond-Lafon), a final invoice will be mailed to the customer's invoicing address indicating:

Delivery to one address in Ireland is free.

All the goods are insured by our company during their transport and are carried at our own risk.

The deliveries are made in an average delay of 2 to 3 weeks as from the date of reception of payment of the goods at our office in Bordeaux. This delay is indicated as exactly as possible but may vary according to the supplying and transport possibilities of Millésima, as well as the weather conditions.

The supplementary delays for delivery will in no means be compensated, accounted nor enable the cancellation of the order. However, if after a delay of one month upon written claim by the customer, the goods have still not been delivered, the sale could then be cancelled by either one of the parties. The customer will then obtain the refund of his payment excluding any other compensation or damage, within a delay of maximum one month.

In all circumstances, the delivery of the goods within this delay can only be made if the customer has indicated the exact information, address and telephone contact of the addressee to the sales assistant. If this information is not correctly communicated, Millésima will not be liable for any further delay or non-delivery of the goods.

Upon reception of the wines, it is up to the addressee to check the state of the goods and to note any reserve concerning breakage, damage or missing goods on the delivery slip and to inform the delivery company and Millésima by recorded delivery letter within 48 hours in order to preserve his rights.

All payments not made by the settlement date will be submitted without given notice to the payment of interests at the legal interest rate plus 50%.

On the other hand, if after a delay of two months upon availability and final invoicing of en-primeur wines, the final invoice for duty and VAT has not been settled, Millésima will invoice extra storage charges of € 11.00 per case and per month.

In the event of a recovery through litigation, the settlement of an inclusive payment of 15% of the amount of the order, without prejudice of the interest for delayed payment and damage, will be required.

The customer has a delay of seven working days as from the delivery of his order to return the goods in their original package, for an exchange or a refund within a delay of thirty days, without penalty except for the return transport costs. The customer is required to inform the commercial service by writing (e-mail, fax, letter) before returning the goods.

If the ordered goods are out of stock, Millésima will be allowed to suggest a replacement by another vintage or an equivalent wine, with the customer's agreement. If the customer then decides to return the exchanged goods, Millésima will pay the return transport costs.

The customer has a delay of seven working days as from the reception of his invoice to cancel or modify his order. After this delay, the order will be considered as firm.

These arrangements are not applicable to orders including personalised or specific demands from the customer (special formats, personalised packaging).

It is expressively understood that ALL OUR GOODS STAY OUR PROPERTY, WHEREVER THEY ARE, UNTIL THE COMPLETE SETTLEMENT OF THE INVOICES. In all cases, the buyer is liable for the goods from the moment of delivery.

In the event the customer has not settled payment due at the settlement date and after a delay of one month after the final demand for settlement still due, the sale will be rightfully cancelled by the seller, any deposit that might have been paid refunded to the buyer, and any goods that might have been delivered promptly returned to the Millésima, without any form of indemnity.

The general Terms and Conditions stated above are under the application of the French law, with the exclusion of the clauses of the Convention of Vienna. For sales to private customers, the clauses of the regulation of Brussels of the 22nd December 2000 will be applied.
