Terms and Conditions

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PRIVATE CUSTOMERS

Prices, Invoicing, Payment Methods

All prices are stated in Swiss Francs (CHF) and include statutory value-added tax (VAT). Transport and shipping costs are not included in the stated prices. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and TWINT as payment methods. Cash payments are accepted only for in-store pickup.

Validity of Conditions and Prices

The prices published at the time of ordering shall apply. We reserve the right to make changes to the product range, vintages, prices, and conditions, as well as to availability. Obvious errors, misprints, and typographical mistakes are subject to correction. Claims for damages resulting from such obvious errors or typographical mistakes are excluded.

Payment Terms

Invoices are payable net within 14 days from the invoice date. Default interest and reminder fees may be charged. We also reserve the right to deliver only against credit card payment or advance payment. No invoices are issued for deliveries abroad; payments must be made exclusively by credit card or in advance.

For payments on account, Vinebration GmbH reviews and evaluates the customer’s data and may, if justified, exchange data with MorgaTreuhand.

Retention of Title and Right of Withdrawal

Until full payment has been received, the goods remain the property of Vinebration GmbH. In the event of late payment, we are entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract. We reserve the right to register the retention of title with the competent authority.

Orders may be cancelled free of charge prior to dispatch. As wine is a food product and the seller has no control over storage conditions after delivery, orders cannot be cancelled after delivery and the contract between seller and customer is binding.

Sale to Minors

Swiss law prohibits the sale of spirits, aperitifs, and alcopops to persons under 18 years of age, and the sale of wine, beer, and cider to persons under 16 years of age. In order to comply with legal requirements, particularly in the online wine shop, we may request your date of birth. Our wine consultants are entitled at any time to verify the customer’s age by means of an official ID. Purchases in the online wine shop are only permitted from the age of 18.

Deliveries

Our prices are ex-cellar prices at our wine cellars. For home deliveries, transport costs are charged separately. Express and international deliveries are also possible. The prices listed below apply per delivery to one address.

7.1 Standard Delivery

We arrange fast, uncomplicated, and convenient delivery of the ordered wines to your doorstep through our logistics partners Post and Vinolog (throughout Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein at the same price, regardless of distance).

  • Standard delivery: CHF 20.00

  • Local delivery: CHF 15.00 (postal codes: 80*, 8102, 8103, 8104, 8105, 8106, 8902, 8903, 8951, 8952, 8953, 8954, 8955)

7.4 International Deliveries

Wine shipments to most EU countries are possible. The wines are customs cleared and delivered within approximately 14 days. Deliveries to other countries must be clarified in advance. Please contact us via the contact form on our website.

7.5 Delivery While Stocks Last

Despite careful stock management, individual items may sell out faster than expected. We therefore cannot guarantee delivery. Availability is subject to stock on hand.

Security

8.1 Personal Data

We undertake to treat your data confidentially in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and not to pass it on to third parties without your consent.

8.2 Internet Security

Encryption
The online ordering process is SSL3-encrypted. Your credit card number is always protected and transmitted in a form that is unreadable to third parties.

Cookies
Your browser may ask whether you wish to accept a cookie. If accepted, the cookie temporarily stores an identification number during your visit to the online wine shop. This identification number is used solely to facilitate communication during the ordering process and becomes invalid when you leave the site. No data is retrieved from or stored on your computer.

Enjoyment Guarantee

Any wine up to 10 years old that does not meet your expectations may be returned without issue upon presentation of the receipt. We will provide a free replacement, provided the wine is available at Vinebration–Jusztina Kézdi. A cash refund up to the purchase price will only be granted if no replacement can be provided and may be issued in the form of Vinebration–Jusztina Kézdi vouchers.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, any liability in connection with our offer (in particular incorrect images, texts, or prices) and delivery is excluded.

Special Conditions for Events

11.1 Registration / Conclusion of Contract

Registration for an event may be made online, by email, or verbally by telephone and is binding (contract concluded at the time of registration).

11.2 Costs

Depending on the selected region, partner company, and wine selection, prices may vary. The price stated in the specific offer is binding.

11.3 Cancellation by the Customer

Up to two days before the event, the event costs will be refunded subject to a processing fee. In the case of later cancellation (one day before the event or on the day of the event), the full event price will be charged.

11.4 Cancellation by Vinebration GmbH

Vinebration GmbH reserves the right to cancel an event, for example due to insufficient participant numbers, illness of the event host, or delivery problems with the wines. In such cases, participants are primarily entitled to an alternative event. If no equivalent alternative can be offered, the costs will be refunded.

11.5 Liability

Event participants are liable for any damage they cause to the property of Vinebration GmbH or third parties during the event. No liability is accepted for damage to or loss of participants’ personal property. Participation in events is at the participant’s own risk.

Miscellaneous

12.1 Replacement Wine

Unless expressly requested otherwise, we will deliver the subsequent vintage of a sold-out wine without prior consultation, provided it is comparable in grape variety, price, and quality. For premium wines intended for ageing, we will only select a subsequent vintage ourselves if we have received explicit authorization from you.

12.2 Product Images

Bottle images do not necessarily show the current vintage. Please refer to the product description for the available vintage. Packaging and closures may change within and across vintages.
