Through the Platform, Users shall have the possibility of purchasing Products of different types and origin. The Products are shown subdivided by categories on the basis of their characteristics and the order in which they are shown is casual. The User must select the Products and complete the check-out, after having carefully verified the information contained in the order summary. With the forwarding of the order, the Customer declares to have fully accepted these Terms and Conditions. 

The order receipt does not constitute acceptance of the order, as every order sent constitutes an offer for the purchase of the Products. The Owner reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject the order after ascertaining the availability of the Product to which the offer refers, under the conditions reported in it. The Owner reserves the right not to confirm the order, informing the user within 5 (five) working days from the placing of the order, to the email address associated with their purchase.

The conclusion of the Contract occurs upon the sending of order Confirmation by WinePlatform to the e-mail address provided by the User. 

The order is made upon its conformation and is subject to payment of the price, taxes, shipment costs and any additional costs for the method of payment chosen as indicated in the order summary form.

In the event of the unavailability of one or more of the Products purchased, WinePlatform shall arrange for a refund of the price and the shipment costs incurred by the User. In some cases, the Owner could propose a replacement Product. For further information, see the following clause regarding the Product availability. 

The Owner reserves the right to cancel all non-conforming or dubious orders, such as those coming from a Customer with whom there is a dispute. The Owner reserves the right to refuse any order for legitimate reasons. 

The Customer understands and accepts that WP and  BICOBI srl shall have the right to refuse orders if they suspect that the Products purchased could be resold for commercial purposes.

The prices, descriptions and/or availability pf the products exhibited are subject to modifications without notice by  BICOBI srl and/or WP, it being understood that the price charged to the User will be that shown in the order summary during checkout.

The photos inserted are indicative and may not be an exact representation of the Products. On  BICOBI srl’s instructions, WP will present the characteristics of the Products with as much detail as possible on the Platform inside of each data sheet corresponding to the Product viewed by the User. In all events, the images and colours of the Products offered on sale on the Platform could differ from the actual ones due to multiple factors including, by way of example and not in exclusive terms, the monitor of the User terminal, photographic filters, etc. As a result, the User acknowledges and accepts that such possible minor differences do not constitute a conformity defect of the Products.

The user shall be promptly informed in the event of the unavailability of the ordered Product, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by the law and in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the civil code.

In some cases, the Owner could propose to the Customer a replacement Product with respect to the one ordered. The Customer shall be fully entitled to accept the replacement product or refuse it at their sole discretion and without having to give reasons. In the event the Owner agrees to the replacement of the Product, the order shall be sent and the purchase procedure shall be completed. The User shall always be entitled, in case of unavailability, to terminate the Contract, pursuant to and by the effects of the provisions of art. 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code. In the event the User exercises the right of termination as per art. 61, IV and V comma, Consumer Code, or in any case in which payment of the total amount due has already been made, WP shall refund this amount without undue delay and, in all events, within the maximum term of 15 (fifteen) working days from the collection date. Said amount shall be credited with the same method of payment used by the User for the purchase or a different method agreed between the User and WP. Any delays in the credit may depend on the banking institute, the type of credit card or the payment solution used.

3.1.b Execution of Orders

An order is executed within the terms specified on the summary page and in the order conformation e-mail, subject to the availability of the Product ordered. WP may not be held liable for damages suffered by the User due to delays in delivery which are not dependent on circumstances foreseeable by the parties upon the sending of the Order Confirmation.

All payments are managed automatically by third-party services. As a result, the Owner does not collect any data relating to the payment – such as the credit card number – but receives notification when the payment has been successfully made.

For the purpose of guaranteeing the security of payments made, WP uses Braintree as a secure payment gateway (SSL), through which it is possible to interface with the main payment circuits.

3.3.b Prior authorisation for future PayPal payments

It is possible to revoke the aforementioned authorisation at any time through the Platform interface or by contacting WP directly.

  • Shipment

Shipment costs vary according to the dimension, weight, number and country of shipment of the chosen articles.

Free shipment for orders over a certain expenditure threshold could be provided for, on the basis of destination. Restrictions on the quantity of Products that can be purchased and for orders made outside of the European Union could be applied. 

All delivery information, details of taxes and duties, as well as the shipment destination can be viewed at the following link: www.shop.ciprianidrinks.com/it/eur/it/shipping.html

It should be noted that delivery times are only indicative and are calculated from the day of shipment.

The Owner and  BICOBI srl do not assume any liability for delays in customs clearance, but undertake to minimise any inconveniences.

3.4.a Customs clearance and duties

Customs duties are calculated according to the regulations of the country of transit of the goods. As a rule, customs duties are charged to the recipient of the shipment before delivery. WP and the carrier do not directly intervene in the customs clearance process for a shipment. This type of management is always carried out by the customs of the country in which the goods transit. 

Customs fees and another additional cost are payable by the User. 

No customs duty on your shipment will be applied is you have made a shipment inside the EU.

  • Traceability of the order

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail containing all the details of your purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us if you would like further information. Shipment is normally made within the next working day from the order data. Its electronic traceability begins as soon as the package is delivered to the carrier and the day of arrival is estimated. You can follow the progress of the delivery by accessing the carrier’s tracking page through the link that we will send to you.

  • Delivery

Deliveries are made during normal working hours to the address indicated by the User and according to the methods specified in the order summary.

The User is responsible for verifying the conditions of the Product delivered, it being understood that the risk of loss or damage of the Products for reasons not attributable to WP is transferred to the User or a third-party engaged by the latter and different from the carrier takes physical possession of the Product. The User is recommended to verify the number of Products received and that the packaging is intact, not damaged, or wet or in any case altered, also with regards to the closure materials. In the event that the package has obvious signs of tampering or alteration, the User is, furthermore recommended to promptly inform WP’s Customer Services and/or to accept it “with reservation” (clause 3.6.a). 

In the event of failed collection within the term established by the carrier, the Products shall be returned to the Owner, who will refund the price of the products, including shipment costs. The Customer, nevertheless, could be requested to pay costs for a package left in storage and for the return of the package to the Owner.

The Owner may not be held liable for errors in the delivery due to inaccuracies or incompleteness in completing the purchase order by the User, for any damage to the Products occurring after delivery to the carrier, in the event the latter is engaged by the User, or for delivery delays attributable to the latter.

3.6.a Acceptance of the package “with reservation”

In the event that the pack has evident signs of tampering or alteration, the Owner shall invite the Customer, in their interest, to accept the package “with reservation” so as not to incur limitations of liability towards the appointed Carrier. Any anomalies must be indicated on the delivery note. Receipt of the Products with reservation, in fact, does not permit the User to take legal action against carrier for loss or damage of the Products, except in the event that loss or damage are due to the carrier’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence and except for partial loss or damage not recognizable at the time of delivery provided, in the latter case, the damage is reported as soon as it is detected and not later than eight days after receipt.  In the event the Carrier, its affiliates or employees, oppose acceptance “with reservation”, the owner must be promptly informed of the situation in order to be able to intervene and seek to correct conduct that could constitute violations of the law. This is, however, without prejudice to application of regulations regarding the right of withdrawal and legal guarantee of conformity.

3.6.b Conditions for receipt of deliveries

A User that makes a purchase via the Platform, moreover, declares that whoever will receive the shipment of the Products purchased is of age according to the legislation applicable to the latter.

  • RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL


  • Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal

In the event of the purchase of Products or Services on the Platform, a User has the right to withdraw from the Contract without indicating the reasons, within 14 (fourteen) days. The withdrawal period expires after 14 (fourteen) free days from the day on which the User or a third party – other than the carrier engaged by the User – acquires physical possession of the goods. The right of withdrawal is applicable only to Customers that act in the capacity of Consumers as defined in the Consumer Code and in the definitions section of these Conditions. In accordance with applicable law, the Customer understands and accepts that it will no longer be possible to exercise the right of withdrawal once a bottle has been opened.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User is obliged to inform WP of their decision to withdraw through an explicit declaration sent to as per the contact details indicated and before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must inform us of their decision to withdraw from this Contract by means of an unequivocal declaration, for example, a letter sent by post or e-mail (declaration of Withdrawal). 

To this end, the User may use the form for exercising the right of withdrawal reported in the following clause. The User is, in any case, free to express their choice to withdraw from the Contract in any other equivalent form.

The communication must be addressed to WP as per the contact details indicated in this document. 

Since the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the Withdrawal period falls to the User, it is in the User’s interest to keep a copy of mail sent to WP with the declaration of Withdrawal.

4.1.a Withdrawal form

The recipient [name, geographical address, telephone number and electronic mail address]: — I/we herewith (*) notify withdrawal from my/our (*) sales Contract for the following good/services (*) — Ordered on (*)/received on (*) — Name of the Consumer(s) — Address of the Consumer(s) — Signature of the Consumer(s) (only if this form is sent in paper version) — Date

  • Effects of withdrawal

If a User withdraws from this Contract, they will be refunded all payments made to WP with the exception of costs for the return of the Product(s) and any supplementary costs deriving from a type of delivery different from the less costly standard delivery offered. The refund shall occur without undue delay and, in any case, not after 14 (fourteen) days from the day that WP is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from this Contract. Said refunds shall be made using the same method of payment used by the User for the initial transaction, except in the event the User has expressly agreed otherwise. The Consumer is responsible for the reduction in the value of the goods resulting from handling different from what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. 

The User is invited to reship the goods and to deliver them to WP without undue delay and, in all events, within 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which they communicated withdrawal from this Contract. The term is considered as respected if the User reships the goods before the expiry of the period of 14 (fourteen) days. The costs for restitution of the goods shall be payable by the User. The Consumer undertakes to package the Product in such a way that it cannot be damaged during transport. We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods or until the Customer has provided proof of having reshipped them, whichever of the two above conditions occurs first.


  • Limitations and exceptions to the right of withdrawal

Returned Products that are damaged or used in a different and additional way than what is strictly necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning shall be refunded after deduction of the decrease in value resulting from damage or use. A refund is excluded when the decrease in value is total.

The User is invited to insert inside the package a copy of the delivery note received.

Pursuant to art. 59 of the Consumer Code, right of withdrawal is, in all events, excluded in relation to:

  • goods made-to-measure or clearly personalised;
  • the supply of goods which are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
  • the supply of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for hygienic reasons or related to health protection and were opened after delivery;
  • contracts relating to the supply of alcoholic drinks the delivery of which is deferred beyond thirty days and the agreed value at the conclusion of the Contract depends on market fluctuations outside the supplier’s control.
  • Applicability of the withdrawal clauses

The clauses that refer to the exercise of the right of withdrawal, as well as the relative consequences and exceptions, apply exclusively to a User classified as a Consumer, that is, a User who acts for purposes unrelated to their business and professional activity.

  • GUARANTEES

5.1 Legal guarantee of conformity

All the Products sold on the Platform are covered by the legal guarantee provided for by arts. 128 and following of Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code), as modified by leg. Dec. 170 del 2021.

A Customer that purchases as a Consumer has the right to the guarantee of conformity of the Products and Services purchased within the limit of 24 (twenty-four) months from purchase. 

Nevertheless, in the event that the Products have an expiry date or, in general, the Products the characteristics of which deteriorate before 24 (twenty-four) months from purchase – by way of example white wine for which consumption within 12 (twelve) months from purchase is recommended – the guarantee right is forfeited upon the expiry provided for that Product and indicated on the packaging. 

To exercise the guarantee right, the Customer is obliged to contact WP and/or  BICOBI srl at as per the contact details contained in this document, giving an accurate description of the defect found.  BICOBI srl, as producer, is responsible for everything relating to quality, the characteristics of the product and any conformity defects. 

If the defect in the goods should appear within one year from the time of purchase, it is assumed that this defect already existed at the time of delivery of the goods. As a result, a Consumer does not have, in this case, the burden of proving the conformity defect. Consequently, will therefore be up to the Owner to provide any evidence to the contrary. As a result, it will therefore be up to the Owner to provide any evidence to the contrary. 

Action aimed at asserting defects not maliciously hidden by the Owner and/or by  BICOBI srl expires, in any case, at 26 (twenty-six) months from the delivery of the goods. A Consumer agreeing to the performance of the Contract can always assert the remedies set out in these Terms.

The Consumer is not entitled to terminate the Contract if the conformity defect is minor significant. The burden of proof of the minor nature is attributable to the Owner. 

The Customer confirms and accepts that there is no conformity defect if, upon the conclusion of the Contract, they were specifically informed by the Owner of the fact that a particular characteristic of the article diverges from the objective conformity requirements and the Customer expressly and separately accepted said divergence upon the conclusion of the Contract.

A Consumer may refuse to make the payment of any part of the price until the seller has fulfilled its obligation provided for by this paragraph.

The provisions of arts. 1483 and following of the Civil Code apply to all Customers, regardless of their status as Consumers. The conformity guarantee is excluded for non-Consumer users unless the Owner or  BICOBI srl S.r.l. has kept silent about the defects of the sold article. 

 5.2 Remedies

If the lack of conformity of the Product is ascertained, the User has the right to obtain, at their choice, the replacement of the Product, a proportionate reduction in the price or the termination of the Contract. The Consumer is immediately entitled to a proportionate reduction of the price or termination of the contract in the event the has the Owner has refused to replace the article. 

The reduction in price is proportionate to the fall in value of the article received by the Consumer compared to the value that it would have had had it been conforming. 

The Consumer exercises the right to termination of the Contract by means of a declaration the seller containing the expression of intention to terminate the Contract. 

If the conformity defect relates to only some of the goods delivered according to the sales Contract and there are grounds for termination of the Contract, the Consumer can terminate the Contract limited to non-conforming goods and to those purchased together with the non-conforming goods, in the event of the existence of an interest of the Consumer in keeping the goods free from defects cannot be reasonably presumed. If the Consumer terminates the Contract in its entirety or limited to a number of the goods delivered by virtue of the Contract a) the Consumer returns the article to  BICOBI srl S.r.l. at the latter’s expense, and b) the Owner refunds the Consumer the price paid for the article upon receipt of the article or of proof provided by the Consumer regarding the fact of having returned or shipped the article. 

The Customer must ship the Products acquired to the address that shall be communicated by the Owner. Shipment costs are considered to be payable by the Owner. Upon receipt, the Owner reserves the right to accept the Customer’s request, verifying the existence of the reasons indicated by the latter. In the event of validity of the request, the Owner shall replace the Product at its expense. The Customer is, in any case, obliged to return the defective Products.
