The items offered are those listed in the catalog published on the site www.baumard.fr. These articles are offered within the limits of available stocks. Each article is accompanied by a description drawn up by Le Domaine des Baumard. The photographs in the catalog are as accurate as possible but cannot ensure a perfect similarity with the item offered.

Guarantees

The Domaine des Baumard is bound by the legal guarantee against hidden defects, as defined in article 1641 and following of the French Civil Code, which states: "The seller is bound by the guarantee against hidden defects in the goods which render them unfit for the purpose for which they were intended, or which so diminish that purpose that the buyer would not have purchased them, or would have paid a lesser price for them, had he known of them.
As wine is an organic product, the parties recognize that its quality can be altered according to the conditions of conservation.

The deterioration of the product due to transport conditions or inappropriate storage conditions of the product (temperature, humidity, light...) are not covered by this guarantee. The customer will have, consequently, to justify the conditions in which the wine was preserved before any complaint based on the article 1641 of the civil code.

The prices appearing in the catalog are prices including VAT in euros, taking into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order; any change in the rate may be reflected in the price of the articles. The Domaine des Baumard reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, it being understood that the price appearing in the catalog on the day of the order will be the only one applicable to the Customer. The Domaine des Baumard specifies that in the event of a price decrease, there will never be a refund.

The Domaine des Baumard reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a customer with whom there is a dispute concerning the payment of a previous order or a customer who does not have the capacity to contract. Any order implies acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the items available for sale.

The Domaine des Baumard undertakes to honour orders received on the website only within the limits of available stocks.

Terms of payment

Payment for purchases is made by one of the following means, at the Customer's convenience:

Order control

In view of the increase in fraud recorded in the context of online commerce and in order to ensure the security of payments, for any order placed by a customer on the website www.baumard.fr, Le Domaine des Baumard will check the elements of the order before delivery.

In application of Article L 3342-1 of the Public Health Code, which prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors under the age of eighteen (18), by validating the order the customer undertakes to be at least 18 years old. The Domaine des Baumard reserves the right to ask the customer for a copy of a valid identity document which will confirm the customer's majority. In cases where the Domaine des Baumard makes this request of the customer, failure to present valid identification will result in the cancellation of the order by the Domaine des Baumard.

The Domaine des Baumard reserves the right not to accept an order for a legitimate reason. This legitimate reason may correspond to a suspicion of fraud linked to the abnormality of the order.

All orders will in any case be honoured within the limits of available stocks.

Shipping and delivery times

The delivery times indicated by Le Domaine des Baumard are only given as an indication.
Consequently, no compensation of any kind may be granted to the customer in the event of non-compliance with these times, and no order may be cancelled without the express agreement of Le Domaine des Baumard.
Shipments made by Le Domaine des Baumard are presumed to be in perfect condition.
The goods are sent at the risk of the recipient and in the event of damage are the responsibility of either the customer or the carrier.
On receipt, it is important that the customer carefully checks the conformity and condition of the products delivered.
Any deterioration or shortage must be recorded precisely on the carrier's delivery note, and then confirmed in writing to the Domaine des Baumard within 48 hours.
In the absence of such a reservation on the consignment note or delivery slip, no exchange or reimbursement can be made. This will also be the case if confirmation is not received within the aforementioned period.
In no case may the amount of any compensation exceed the value of the goods stipulated in the contract.

The Domaine des Baumard undertakes to deliver orders placed by the Customer as soon as possible. If the said articles have not been delivered within 7 days of the date of receipt of payment, and if this delay is not due to force majeure, the Customer may cancel the sale by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the following address Domaine des Baumard - 8, rue de l'Abbaye - 49190 Rochefort sur Loire. The sums paid by the Customer will then be reimbursed in full.

The customer is obliged to check the good condition of the items delivered. Any anomaly noted (missing item, damaged parcel, broken item, etc.) must be indicated to the Domaine des Baumard within 3 days of receipt.

Circumstances beyond our control

Nous ne pouvons être tenus responsables des pertes, dommages, erreurs ou défaut de livraison d’un envoi dès lors qu’il serait établi l’existence de circonstances indépendantes de notre volonté. Par « circonstances indépendantes de notre volonté », il faut entendre notamment :
– les cas fortuits ou de force majeure, à savoir notamment : tremblements de terre, cyclones, tempêtes, inondations, guerres, accidents routiers, de train et d’avions, embargos…
– tous défauts ou particularités liés à la nature de l’envoi quand bien même il aurait été connu de nous au moment de notre acceptation,
– tout acte, carence ou négligence de tout tiers, par exemple : le destinataire, tout tiers intéressé, tout employé des douanes ou de toute autre administration, les services postaux, tout transporteur ou autre tiers à qui l’envoi serait confié par notre prestataire de transport, pour desservir des secteurs non desservis directement par lui- même, et ce, quand bien même l’expéditeur n’aurait pas demandé ou été informé du recours à un tiers.

Consequential damages

In the event of non-compliance with our commitments and whatever the cause, Le Domaine des Baumard will only be liable for reimbursement of the delivery service subject to the reservations set out above (Delayed Delivery) and under no circumstances for any indirect damage that the customer may claim. These indirect damages and losses are understood to include any loss of income, profits, interests or markets and any loss linked to the impossibility of using all or part of the shipment.

Breakage during shipment

If a parcel arrives at the recipient's home damaged (breakage of the bottle or bottles), the recipient must refuse the parcel. The carrier will inform the Domaine des Baumard. On receipt of this information, Le Domaine des Baumard undertakes to immediately reship an identical package to the recipient. Under no circumstances may the customer demand a refund of the product and the delivery charge.

Withdrawal period: return or exchange

Pursuant to Article L121-21 of the French Consumer Code, non-professional individuals have a cooling-off period of fourteen days from the date of delivery of their order to return the product to the Domaine des Baumard for exchange or refund without penalty. After this period, no form of exchange or refund will be possible.
The cost of returning the product is borne by the customer. The Customer will be reimbursed in full as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after the date on which he/she exercised his/her right of withdrawal.

Conditions of exchange and return for refund

Returned items must be intact, unopened and in perfect condition. They must be returned in a condition that allows them to be re-marketed. Failing this, no reimbursement will be made.
The customer must keep proof of delivery of the parcel to the service provider responsible for the return. In the absence of this proof, no exchange or refund will be made in the event of loss of the package. 

Responsibility

The Domaine des Baumard shall not be held liable in the event of non-performance of the contract, in the event of stock shortage or unavailability of the product, in the event of force majeure and, in particular, in the event of a total or partial strike, flood, fire or other natural disasters and, in general, all events that do not allow the order to be carried out properly.

Electronic signature

Le « OK » associé à la procédure d’authentification et de non-répudiation et à la protection de l’intégralité des messages constitue une signature électronique. Cette signature électronique a valeur, entre les parties, d’une signature manuscrite.

Evidence

The computerised registers, kept in the Domaine des Baumard's computer systems under reasonable security conditions, will be considered as proof of the communications, orders and payments made between the parties.

Amicable settlement of disputes

The present general conditions of sale are governed by French law.
