PRICE

The prices of the Product are listed on the Website and are set at the time of ordering. All prices listed are expressed in Euros, always including VAT and other taxes which are due by the Buyer. Any other costs, such as shipping costs, are listed separately.

The declaration of price only refers to the Product as described in writing. The accompanying photographs are for decorative purposes only and may contain elements that are not included in the price.

OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE

Despite the fact that the website and the description of the Product, the characteristics and illustrations are compiled with the utmost care, it is still possible that the information offered is incomplete, contains material errors or is not up-to-date. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind Seller. Concerning the accuracy and completeness of the information offered, the Seller only has a commitment of resources. Seller is under no circumstances liable in the event of manifest material errors, typing or printing errors.

When Buyer has specific questions about e.g. sizes, colour, availability, delivery period or delivery method, we ask the Buyer to contact us in advance via the Website. 

The offer always applies as long as the stock lasts and can be adjusted or withdrawn at any time by Seller. Seller cannot be held liable for any damage as a result from the temporary or permanent inavailability of the Product. 

By ordering via the Website, the Buyer confirms that he has reached the legal age of eighteen (18) years and that the Buyer has legal permission to buy alcoholic beverages. In accordance with Article 6, Section 6 of the Belgian Law on the Protection of The Health of the User with Regard to Food and Other Products, the Seller may ask the Buyer to prove that the Buyer is older than eighteen (18) years.

Buyer accepts the offer of the Seller by placing the order via the Website. This purchase is binding. The Seller sends an order confirmation to the email address specified by the Buyer within seven (7) calendar days at the latest. 

The Seller reserves the right to accept or not to accept the purchase of the Buyer. The purchase may be refused, among other things, but not exclusively, for the following reasons:

– the Buyer does not provide the requested information for identification or provided incomplete or incorrect information,

– the Buyer tries to sign up several times by using different names,

– the Buyer uses other people’s identity, proxies or temporary email addresses,

– the Buyer does not fulfil one or more obligations set out in these General Conditions of Sale or has failed to do so in the past, or Seller can reasonably assume that Buyer will not fulfil such an obligation, or

– Any other reason why Seller can reasonably judge that the purchase cannot be accepted.

PAYMENT

Unless otherwise agreed, the Seller only accepts advance payment through the Website.  Seller accepts payment of the Product via credit card and Bancontact.  

If Buyer notices inaccuracies in his payment details or notices something suspicious during his payment, the Buyer must immediately report it to the Seller via info@sybaritedistillery.com. 

PENALTIES FOR NON-PAYMENT

Without prejudice to the exercise of other rights available to Seller, in the case of non- or late payment, the Buyer shall be liable for an interest of 10% per year on the unpaid amount from the date of the default and without prior notice. In addition, the Seller is entitled to a flat-rate compensation of 10% on the amount in question, with a minimum of EUR 25 per invoice.

RETENTION RIGHT

The Product supplied remains until the time of entire payment by the Buyer, the exclusive property of Seller, although the risk of loss or damage is transferred to the Buyer as soon as Buyer (or a third party designated by Buyer) has physically received the Product. The Seller’s delivery obligation is suspended until the time of full payment by the Buyer.

The Buyer undertakes, if necessary, to inform third parties of Seller’s retention of ownership, e.g. to anyone who would seize any items not yet paid. In this context, the Buyer undertakes to immediately inform the Seller in writing of a possible seizure of delivered Product by a third party.

DELIVERY

The Product will be delivered to the Buyer after payment to the address indicated by Buyer on the order. The Seller makes all reasonable efforts to deliver the Product within 7 business days of date of order.  Due to external circumstances, it may take longer. This is a commitment of resources and not a commitment to the result.

It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the delivery can be made at the agreed location in the presence of Buyer or in the presence of a third party designated by Buyer. Delivery occurred as soon as the ordered Product is first offered to the Buyer. If a delivery offered is unsuccessful due to Buyer’s shortcoming or a shortcoming by the third-party designated by the Buyer, then the cost of new delivery attempts is entirely at the Buyer’s expense.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

If the Consumer buys Product online (except for the exceptions listed below), the Consumer has the right to decide within 14 calendar days from the day after delivery that it does not wish to keep the Product.

If the Consumer wishes to use this right of withdrawal, the Seller must be informed in writing. This notification must be made via the ‘Withdrawal Model Form’, which can be found on the Website and this within 14 calendar days from the day after delivery via info@sybaritedistillery.com. 

The Consumer can then return the order without payment of a fine and without giving reason within 14 calendar days (the costs for shipping will be borne by the Consumer). Within 30 calendar days of the Seller having recovered the order, the Seller will refund the Consumer the full purchase price of the returned Product, excluding the original delivery costs. 

During the first 14 calendar days after the day of receipt of the delivery, the Seller expects the Consumer to handle the delivery and packaging carefully if the Consumer intends to possibly return the Product. If the Consumer still wants to be able to return the Product as described above, the Buyer may only unpack them to that extent necessary to assess whether Consumer wants to keep the Product. Given the nature of the Product, returned goods may not have been used. This implies, among other things, that the packaging is in good condition and is not damaged (e.g. the seals must still be intact).

If the Consumer sends the Product back, this must be done together with all the accessories delivered and, if reasonably possible, in the original condition and packaging and taking into account the Seller’s instructions.

If the Product returns, the Consumer is responsible for the transport and the costs linked thereto. The right of withdrawal has not been validly exercised until the Seller has received the Product back and the Product is in good condition (as described above). If the Product (in whole or in part) is lost or damaged in transport, or does not meet the above conditions, the Seller cannot reimburse the Consumer.

WARRANTY

Under the Law of 21 September 2004 on the protection of consumers in the sale of consumer goods, the Consumer has legal rights. This legal guarantee applies from the date of delivery to the first owner. The legal warranty can be invoked if a defect is found in the delivered Product within 2 years of delivery. And this without prejudice to any other commercial guarantee. 

In order to invoke the warranty, the Consumer must be able to submit a proof of purchase. Consumers are advised to keep the original packaging of the Product.

For items purchased online and delivered to the Consumer at home, the Consumer must contact the Seller’s customer service and return the item to Seller at his expense.

After determination of  a defect, the Consumer should inform the Seller as soon as possible via the Website info@sybaritedistillery.com.  In any event, any defect should be reported by the Consumer within a period of 2 months of its determination. After that, any right to repair or replacement expires. 

This warranty covers the replacement of the defective Product. However, if replacement is not possible, unreasonable for the Seller or causes serious inconvenience to the Consumer, the Seller undertakes to allow an appropriate price reduction or, in the event of a serious defect, to terminate the contract and repay the full price, provided that the Product is returned.

The (commercial and/or legal) warranty shall never apply to defects arising from the removal of the seal or after removing or making the serial number and other numbering of the product series unreadable due to accidents, neglect, falls, use of the Product in breach of purpose for which it was designed, failure to comply with the instructions or manual, adjustments or modifications to the Product, heavy-handed use, poor maintenance, or any other abnormal or incorrect use.

Defects manifesting after a period of 6 months following the date of purchase, or delivery as the case may be, are considered not to be hidden defects, unless the Consumer can prove otherwise.

This includes, but is not limited to, strikes, fire, company failures, energy failures, failures in a (telecommunications) network or connection or communications systems used and/or the Website not being available, not or untimely delivery by suppliers or other third parties, …

VALIDITY

If a provision of these General Conditions of Sale is declared invalid, unlawful or annulled, it will in no way affect the validity, legality and applicability of the other provisions. 

The failure at any time by Seller to enforce one of the rights listed in these General Conditions of Sale, or to exercise any such right, will never be seen as a waiver to such rights and will never affect the validity of these rights.

APPLICABLE LAW-COMPETENT COURT in CASE of DISPUTES
