If you register with VINVM, you will be asked to choose a password and may be asked for additional information about your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify VINVM of any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session. You may never use another user's account without VINVM’s prior authorisation. VINVM will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your breach of this agreement.

Users may cancel their accounts at any time and for any reason by sending us their request through our contact information. Such cancellation will only result in the deletion of the account and the deletion of all personal data provided to VINVM.

VINVM reserves the right to terminate your account or your access immediately, with or without notice, and without liability to you, if VINVM believes that you have breached any of these terms, provided VINVM with false or misleading information, or interfered with any other party's use of the website or service.

3. NOTIFICATIONS AND NEWSLETTER

By providing VINVM with your email address and phone number, you agree that we may use your email address to send you notifications about the status of your order, important communications about our services or products, news and special content. We may also use your email address and phone number to send you notifications via SMS messages, push notifications and other messages, such as changes to service features, product news and special offers on our products. If you do not wish to receive these emails, SMS messages or push notifications, you may opt-out of receiving them by sending us your request through our contact information or by using the "unsubscribe" option in emails or by replying with the word "STOP" to SMS messages. Opting out may prevent you from receiving emails, SMS messages and push notifications about updates to your order, news or special offers on our products.

4. SHOPPING ON THE WEBSITE

All purchases of our products must be made through our website. When you place an order, you offer to buy the products for the price advertised and indicated on the website at the time of purchase. Please check product variants and prices before placing your order.

When a customer places an order, VINVM will send that customer an email which aims to confirm the purchase and payment. This email confirmation will be produced automatically so that the user has the confirmation of their purchase and the details of the order. 

We reserve the right to limit the number of units purchased by each user. VINVM also reserves the right to limit sales of our products on a regional or jurisdictional basis.

VINVM may cancel any order and not supply products if it is reasonable to do so and may change or discontinue the availability of products at any time in its sole discretion. If an order is cancelled, any payments made for products will be refunded in full. This does not affect your statutory rights.

All new orders are considered separately and each is treated individually.

5. PRICES

VINVM reserves the right to determine the price of the products. Product pricing will be available on each product page. Product prices and shipping costs are subject to change at any time.

VINVM will make reasonable efforts to keep the price information published on the website up to date. However, some errors in terms of price may occur from time to time, including but not limited to human error, mechanical error or the like. Should an error in pricing be discovered, the customer will be informed of such error. The option to reconfirm the order will be given to the user at the correct price. The user also has the option to cancel the order should the user not be satisfied with the correct price communicated on the said product order.

6. MEMBERSHIPS (Wine Club)

VINVM offers paid memberships that will allow our customers to receive quarterly 6-bottle cases of wine and an online wine tasting with an industry expert. Please check membership specifications and features before purchasing a membership. When a user makes a purchase of a membership, the user agrees and declares to purchase the membership for the price advertised on the website at the time of purchase. Please check the price and features of each membership before ordering. 

When a user makes a membership purchase, VINVM will send a confirmation email. This confirmation email will occur automatically so that the user has confirmation of payment and membership initiation. If the user does not receive the confirmation email when purchasing and signing up for the membership, it may have been sent to their spam folder.

VINVM may cancel the sale of any membership and may change or discontinue the availability of memberships at any time at its sole discretion. If a membership purchase is cancelled, any payments made for the applicable billing period will be refunded. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Memberships may include automatic recurring payments. You authorise VINVM to renew your membership and to charge you periodically and progressively on each billing date. The membership billing date is the date you purchase the membership and make your first payment. On the applicable billing date, you will automatically be charged the applicable membership fee. The membership will remain active until you cancel it or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews to avoid the next billing period. We will bill you for the membership billing fee in the payment method you choose during membership registration and purchase.

Memberships will automatically renew for an additional period unless cancelled before the next billing period. To cancel memberships, users must submit a cancellation request through our contact information and the membership will be cancelled for the next billing period. If a membership is cancelled, the user will be able to continue using the payment functions of the services until the next billing period, at which time the membership will be cancelled definitively.

7. PAYMENTS

Products and memberships will be paid for via Stripe, Apple Pay and Google Pay (payment processors available on the website). The customer must pay the price of the product stipulated in the order before the product is shipped to the customer. Payment will be charged to the buyer's credit or debit card immediately after placing the order for the products purchased. Once the transaction has been processed, we will send you an electronic receipt of the transaction to the email address you provide.  

If you find any inconsistency in your billing, please contact us through our contact information or you can make the claim through the customer service of the corresponding payment platform.

If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorisation. This usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Your card may be declined for various reasons such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code.

If your payment is declined, you must provide an alternative payment method or provide another card where payment can be charged and processed.

Your payment information will be treated and safeguarded with total security and with the exclusive purpose of processing the purchase of the products. VINVM reserves the right to contract any payment platform available in the market, which treats your data for the exclusive purpose of processing the purchase of the products.

8. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

VINVM attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, VINVM does not warrant that product descriptions, product prices or other content of this website is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Product descriptions and images may vary according to the colour resolution of the user's device screen.

All product images shown on the website are for illustrative purposes only. Actual product labelling may vary due to changes between vintages.

9. TAXES 

All orders shipped outside the UK will be charged exclusive of VAT. International orders will be subject to VAT, alcohol taxes and customs duties in the receiving country.

Please note that for orders placed outside the UK, customs duties may apply depending on the customs laws of each country. The buyer is responsible for paying any customs duties that may be imposed on their order upon entry into the destination country. Please check the customs situation in your country regarding the importation of goods and the collection of customs duties before placing an order, as VINVM cannot provide you with this information.

VINVM is not responsible for the payment of any customs duties that may apply to your international orders, nor is VINVM responsible for packages returned or not delivered due to non-payment of such duties. Payment of any duties that may apply to your package is the sole and exclusive responsibility of the customer.

In the event that the buyer refuses to pay customs duties and the package is returned to VINVM and the buyer requests a refund, the costs of shipping and returning the package to VINVM will be deducted from the refund.
