Special conditions relating to En Primeur Wines (Clause 10)
Special Conditions applicable to En Primeur Wines
These special conditions supplement the basic terms and conditions and, where applicable supersede same, for wines sold as En Primeur.
Upon order of wines offered En Primeur by the Customer, Customers will be invoiced and will have to pay the opening price (an ‘in bond’ price which excludes duty and VAT but includes the cost of shipping to the UK)
Once the wine is in the UK, Customers can either pay the prevailing rate of duty, VAT and onward delivery to have the wines despatched. Alternatively, the wine can be cellared at L&W’s wine storage facility, at an annual fee which is charged quarterly in arrears. On arrival, wines purchased En Primeur will continue to be stored In Bond unless we receive written instructions to the contrary. (see Storage / Cellarage terms and conditions which will be applicable).
L&W will use its best endeavours to offer wines in quantities for which it has placed confirmed orders. However, because En Primeur is offered initially as a “future” we cannot guarantee availability until it is delivered to the UK and offered to you for delivery. In the event that a wine is unavailable for reasons beyond our control our only liability to you is the initial payment which will be refunded in full.
Cancellation of En Primeur orders – L&W will only accept the cancellation of an En Primeur order within fourteen (14) days from the date of invoice. Notice must be given via email to our Customer Care team. Upon cancellation within the provisions of this clause, a full refund of the purchase price of the wine will be given to you. As the contract is for a future wine, cancellation cannot be accepted after the 14 days from invoice and the Customer will carry the risks associated with the purchase of a future good.
