2. Conclusion of a contract

Sales contracts are concluded when Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG accepts the order. The customer will receive an e-mail confirming acceptance of the order, which is then binding. The customer will also be informed by e-mail as soon as possible of any obstacles to delivery. By placing an order, the customer confirms that he is clear about the scope and content of his order. Questions in this regard can therefore be clarified with us in advance.

3. Deliveries

The delivery of the goods is generally carried out by the postal service or a transport company. If, in exceptional cases, an item in our range is not available, the customer will be informed of this as soon as possible by e-mail. In principle, we reserve the right to make a partial delivery if this seems to serve the fastest possible processing of the entire delivery. We also reserve the right to only fulfil an order to the extent that the items are available.

In principle, the stated readiness for dispatch of the items is an estimate based on experience and is therefore not binding for Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG.

4. Prices

We always try to offer our customers the best possible price for our products, but this is closely linked to the prices of our suppliers.

8. Returns

In principle, the right to return the ordered goods exists only in the case of incorrect delivery by Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG, production defects or transport damage that has occurred in the course of delivery. We therefore expressly ask our customers to promptly check the received delivery for any defects upon receipt. Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG must be informed immediately of any errors or defects in the delivery. If there is a defect or damage for which Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG is responsible, Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG is entitled to decide at its own discretion whether to exchange the goods or rectify the defect. The goods must be returned in their original packaging, unused and complete.

Wrong delivery

In the event of an incorrect delivery, Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG agrees to deliver the correct item(s) to the customer if possible, or otherwise to settle the order for a corresponding replacement (at the customer's option) of the same value. It is not possible to cancel the order as long as the ordered item is available.

Defective items

Defective or damaged items will be examined by us in principle for the corresponding defects, in order to ensure the warranty claim. Damage caused by defective materials or manufacturing defects will be handled by Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG in accordance with the provisions for incorrect delivery. In principle, a cancellation of the contract will not be granted in the event of the above incidents.

Return of corked wines

A refund will be given for corked wines, provided that the defect is identifiable and the bottle is at least 75 per cent full. If the same vintage is still available, the corked wine will be exchanged; otherwise, it will be refunded in the form of a voucher. This regulation is valid for three years from the date of purchase. This does not apply to wines that have been sealed with synthetic corks or screw caps or wines that have exceeded the recommended drinking age.

Transport damage

In the event of damage during transport, a report with detailed information about the damage must be sent by email to info@mathier.com within 48 hours of receipt of the goods, otherwise the right to a free replacement will expire.

In the event of an incorrect return, any costs incurred by Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG in the course of the return will be charged to the customer.

The customer is granted a period of 5 working days from receipt of the goods within which the goods can be returned together with the notice of defect.

Please note that a return will never result in a refund as long as the ordered goods are available. We reserve the right to refund the corresponding value of the goods by means of a voucher or an equivalent item.

The shipping costs are generally to be paid by the customer. Unfortunately, insufficiently stamped returns cannot be processed. The shipping costs will only be refunded to the customer if the delivery is a wrong delivery, from Adrian & Diego MATHIER NOUVEAU SALQUENEN AG, or if there is production or transport damage.
