Vinsionaire Terms and Conditions of Sale

The following terms apply to all sales and form the basis upon which orders are accepted. They apply to all purchases and shall not be varied unless such variation is confirmed by us in writing.
  1. Prices

    Unless the contrary is shown, prices on this site are:

    • Per the size of bottle as indicated
    • Exclusive of delivery charges
    • Provisional and subject to our confirmation, upon acceptance of order
  2. Payment

    Payment is due upon issue of our invoice and may be made by direct transfer into our designated bank account, a cheque against an account with a licensed Hong Kong bank (allow 5 working days for cheques to clear) or certain debit and credit cards (there is a 2% surcharge on credit card payments). Overdue sums carry interest from the date when payment becomes due at 5% per annum above the prime lending rate of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited from time to time. Until all sums due to us have been paid we shall be entitled to retain possession of any goods to which you would otherwise be entitled. If any payment is overdue we shall be entitled to suspend deliveries/collections.

  3. Title and Risk

    We shall retain title to all goods (other than goods in your direct physical possession following delivery or collection and payment in full for those goods) sold by us until all the sums due from you in respect of any order have been paid. Risk in all goods shall pass to you as soon as we notify you that they are available and assigned to your order.

  4. Delivery

    Any indication as to when wines will be available for delivery or collection is an estimate only and is not intended to be binding. We will notify you once wines are available and you must give us at least 48 hours’ notice before collection. Local delivery shall be charged at our prevailing rate and shall be subject to change from time to time. Our current storage charge will apply for all goods which have not been collected/delivered within one month of it becoming available.

  5. Acceptance

    You undertake to inspect all goods when collecting or immediately on delivery and to notify ourselves or the carrier forthwith of any shortage or damage or other deficiency. You will be deemed to have accepted the goods as satisfying your order upon your collection and/or acceptance of delivery and thereafter you will not be entitled to reject wines for any reason.

  6. Default

    If any payment is overdue for 14 days or the goods have not been collected within one month of it becoming available, or there is an earlier indication from you that payment will not be made or the goods will not be collected, we shall be entitled to send written notice to the invoice address of our intention to deal with, sell or otherwise dispose of the goods and 7 days thereafter we shall be at liberty to do so unless payment in full is received or the goods are collected before the close of business on the seventh day. Any method of resale is entirely at our discretion. Upon resale you will receive a credit of 75% of the lower of the net proceeds of the resale and the price of our original sale to you. Any balance after the credit shall remain payable by you and shall continue to carry interest. The existence of this right does not effect any other remedies we would have.

  7. Force Majeure

    We shall not be liable for any failure to meet our obligations occasioned by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

  8. Description/Quality

    All wines in our possession are stored safely and properly. Descriptions are given for informational purposes only and do not constitute and should not be construed as warranties of the state and condition of the wines. Clients are advised to satisfy themselves as to the conditions of the wines before purchasing and taking possession of them (either by requesting for a photograph of the wine or to inspect it at our store). We will not be responsible for the state and condition of wines or whether the wine corresponds to the qualities which might be expected from its description and shall not accept returns for any reason whatsoever.

  9. Orders

    The placing and accepting of oral orders shall form a contract on these terms, conditional upon our written confirmation of order which may be by the delivery of an invoice.

  10. Law

    All our contracts are made under the laws of Hong Kong and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
