General Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

1.1 This website is owned and operated by Casa Select GmbH. Our company information is at the end of this document.

1.2 Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They apply when you buy any goods via this site or otherwise use this site. Please print or save these terms for future use as we will not keep a file copy specifically for the transaction with you and we cannot guarantee that they will remain accessible on our website in future. These terms and conditions are available in the English language only for the UK version of this site.

1.3 Where we refer to “Consumer” below we mean an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly that person’s trade, business, craft or profession.

1.4 We are legally required to remind Consumers that we are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with the contract. Furthermore, nothing below affects Consumers’ legal rights in relation to goods that are not in conformity with the contract, whether because they are faulty, not as described or otherwise. You can get advice about your legal rights from your local Trading Standards office or Citizens' Advice Bureau.

1.5 Certain goods on our site may only be bought if you fulfil the minimum legal age requirements. Otherwise we are legally forbidden from supplying the goods to you. You must not attempt to buy the goods if you are below the relevant age as follows: alcoholic beverages: 18 years.

1.6 You are not eligible to buy any goods via this site if it is unlawful for you to buy or use the goods in, or import them into, your country.

1.7 Where you communicate with us on behalf of a company / organisation, you promise that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity.

1.8 We may change these terms and conditions at any time. Please check them carefully as they will apply to any new purchases or use of our site occurring after the effective date shown.

 

2. Order process and conclusion of contract

2.1 The display of goods on the homepage of Casa Select does not constitute a binding offer but rather a non-binding online catalogue. Errors remain reserved.

2.2 A legal contract is formed by selecting goods, placing them in the shopping cart and transmitting the order to us by clicking on the “Buy”(binding offer of the customer) button on the one hand and by Casa Select accepting the order by sending an order confirmation to the e-mail address provided by the customer on the other hand. A binding contract is formed at the latest when the goods are delivered. Casa Select reserves the right to accept the order.

2.3 The automatic order receipt confirmation which the customer receives after the order has been placed does not constitute an acceptance of the contract offer. The automatic order receipt confirmation provides the customer with information on his right to return in text form.

2.4 Any type errors during the submission of the order can be detected on the final order page and corrected with the “edit” feature on the website and the use of the “back” feature of the web browser before the placement of the order. The contract text will not be saved by Casa Select. The customer can see, save or print the contract terms which are depicted in under “terms and conditions” on our website.

2.5 Contracts are solely formed with the company Casa Select.

2.6 The contract language is English.

 

3. Price and payment terms

3.1 The prices specified respectively at the time of the order on our shop are applicable. Depending on the payment option you choose we may charge in Euros. Dispatch of the goods is subject to our receipt of full payment in cleared funds.

3.2 Our prices may change from time to time. The price for the goods you order is as stated on our site at the time you send us your order. Prices are shown with and without VAT or sales tax. For delivery to the UK we will charge without VAT but VAT will be collected where necessary by the Carrier before delivery is made. The amount of VAT due may change if the VAT rate changes.

3.3 If we have mis-priced any item by mistake, we are not obliged to supply the item at that price provided we notify you before we dispatch it. If we do notify you, then you can decide if you want to order the item at the correct price but, if you do not, we will provide a full refund of any payments already made.

3.4 Delivery costs are charged extra at the rate shown on our site at the time you place your order. These will depend on the delivery method chosen. NB Our charges do not include customs or import duties which may be applied to your order by the relevant authorities. We have no control of these and it is your separate responsibility to pay for them. We recommend that you check with your local customs office in advance.

3.5 You must contact us immediately with full details if you dispute any payment.

3.6 If any amount due to us is unpaid, or unjustifiably charged back, we may cancel this agreement on written notice (including email).

 

4. Delivery and ownership of goods

4.1 Delivery will be complete when we deliver to the address which you specify when ordering. We may deliver different parts of your order on different dates.

4.2 Delivery is only to the countries we specify and is otherwise subject to any restrictions on our delivery page. The delivery of wine racks made of stone is only available upon request. Our return policy does not apply to stone wine racks.

4.3 Unless otherwise stated, delivery dates given on our website are estimates only. If you are a Consumer, we have no liability for any losses arising from delay in delivery to the extent that this is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control and where we could not have taken reasonable steps to deal with the delay. If you are not a Consumer, we have no liability for any losses arising from delay in delivery.

4.4 If you receive notification of an unsuccessful attempted delivery, it is your responsibility to use the details provided to contact the delivery company to arrange re-delivery. If nobody is available to receive the goods, we reserve the right to leave them at the doorstep, hall or reception as available.

4.5 If your order includes goods which may not be sold to under 18s as specified above, you must ensure that a person who is 18 years or over is available to accept delivery. We reserve the right to refuse delivery if we think that the recipient may be under 18.

4.6 You become owner of the goods after the later of delivery of the goods and payment of the price plus delivery charges. Until that happens, you hold the goods on our behalf. If you are not a Consumer, title is transferred only when you pay all sums due to us as at the date of delivery and you must identify the goods as ours and keep them separate from your other goods until ownership passes.

 

5. Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 30 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 30 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us at Casa Select GmbH, Hagenauer Str. 1, 65203 Wiesbaden, phone: 02034 995 417, email: info@winerack-plus.co.uk of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of the contract to us at Casa Select GmbH Logistikzentrum, Richard-Klinger-Str. 11 D – 65510, Idstein, Germany without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.

We have made reasonable efforts to display as accurately as possible the appearance / colour / texture / finish of our goods.
