General Terms and Conditions

Applicability and General Information

These terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as the GTC) apply without exception to all legal transactions, deliveries and services concluded between Familie Weiss, Marktgasse 1, 7122 Gols and the customer.
By placing an order, the customer agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Current GTCs can be modified by Familie Weiss at any time and apply in the version in force at the time of the customer’s order. Any deviating terms and conditions are not valid unless Familie has agreed to them before acceptance of the order in writing or by e-mail.
These terms and conditions apply both to businesses as well as consumers, but for the latter apply only to the extent that no mandatory provisions of the Consumer Protection Act or other laws would negate them.
Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be wholly or partially invalid, or ineffective due to statutory provisions, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Ineffective provisions will be replaced by the valid regulation that most closely reflects the original intended purpose.

Consequences of Cancellation

In the case of an effective cancellation, benefits received by seller and purchaser are to be returned.

The customer must return or hand over the goods to Familie Weiss, Marktgasse 1, 7122 Gols, Austria, promptly and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which he informed Familie Weiss of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is considered met as long as you send back the goods before the deadline of fourteen days.
In any case, the cost of the return is borne by the customer.
If you cannot give us back the goods received in whole or in part or only in a dilapidated condition, you may have to pay us compensation. The customer is obliged to pay for a possible loss in value of the good only if this loss of value is due to willful actions on the part of the customer affecting the condition, form and functionality of the goods.

Payment Terms

Unless otherwise stated, all prices are per bottle in EURO, including all statutory duties and taxes for customers in Austria excluding the expenses of shipping. The prices to be paid are those valid at the time of the order. Deliveries outside Austria may be subject to changes in price due to differing taxes and duties.

Guarantee

Purchaser undertakes to notify seller of any defects in the goods without delay, with a detailed description of the defect, and then to return the goods together with a copy of the invoice.
For damages and inconveniences arising during transport, we guarantee complete replacement if the following conditions are met: – the incoming goods must be checked immediately for accuracy and completeness.– any complaints must be confirmed by the transport company. – complaints regarding the goods must be communicated to us within 48 hours.
