The photos and visuals of the Products and Activities are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not binding.

Article 3. Contract conclusion

The Les Grappes website mentions all the information required by article L.121-19 of the French Consumer Code. 

3.1.  Order process on the Site and order confirmation

a. Buyers may order the Products offered by the Sellers on the Site as long as the Product offers depicted by the Product Sheets are visible on the Site.

When an order concerns the Products of several Sellers, the Buyer executes as many sales contracts as there are Sellers concerned.

To place an order, a minimum number of Products ordered is required. This minimum is generally three (3) Products, but may be modified by the Seller. The Buyer is informed of this when placing and validating the order.

After having been able to validate and modify the content and price of his/her order, and to finalize his/her order and pay, the Buyer declares that he/she has read and fully and unreservedly accepts the entirety of the GCS, by clicking on the box "I accept the general terms and conditions of sale".

The contract is available in French.

b. An e-mail confirming the order is then automatically sent to the Buyer (this e-mail mentions all the information required by article L. 121-19 of the Consumer Code).

However, the sales contract is subject (i) to the resolutive condition that the Product is available (see article 3.2 below) and (ii) that Les Grappes has acknowledged receipt of payment.

An order is deemed confirmed when LES GRAPPES is able to confirm that the payment has been received: instantly if the order is paid in cash or on the date of payment if the order is paid by deferred payment (bank transfer or payment by check—see article 4.2).

Once the order has been confirmed to the Buyer, the information about the Buyer's order will remain accessible on his/her account, in the "My Orders" section.

3.2. Availability of the Product(s) - Resolutive condition

The sales contract is subject to the condition subsequent that the Products are available and that Les Grappes has acknowledged receipt of payment.

As soon as the Buyer's order is taken into account, the Seller is informed by Les Grappes without delay by e-mail that one or more of the Products it has put online has been ordered by a Buyer. The Seller will then confirm the availability of the Product concerned within seventy-two (72) working hours.

If (i) the same Product is ordered by several Buyers at the same time and (ii) this Product is no longer available in sufficient quantity to satisfy all the orders, it will be sold in the chronological order of the orders placed by the Buyers, according to the "first come, first served" principle. The order will then be canceled for the other Buyers.

In the event of unavailability of the Product(s) after the Buyer's order has been placed, or if the Seller fails to respond to the Buyer's order within seventy-two (72) working hours of the Buyer's order being reported to the Seller by Les Grappes, the Buyer will be informed by e-mail, sent by Les Grappes. The Buyer will then be offered a similar Product by Les Grappes, or may be reimbursed for the amount he/she has been debited, according to his/her choice. In the latter case, the contract executed between the Buyer and the Seller shall be automatically terminated and each party shall be released from its obligations. The Buyer's bank account will be credited with the amount of the canceled order within fifteen (15) days. However, only the contract relating to the sale of the unavailable Product(s) is affected by this cancellation.

It is reminded that only the Seller has control over the availability of the Product. The sales contract is deemed to be concluded at that time.

3.3. Searching for and reserving a wine tourism service online 

It is the User's responsibility to do all necessary or appropriate research before making any reservations with one of the partners present on the Les Grappes site. The user is obliged to check the conditions of the service requested, in particular the minimum and maximum number of people who can access such a service. 

Les Grappes does not guarantee a response to a reservation request made by the user on the Les Grappes site, it being understood that such a response depends on the third-party service providers. 

Les Grappes does not guarantee in any way whatsoever the products, services, and/or commercial practices of third parties present on its site. In this sense, Les Grappes does not guarantee that the user will be satisfied with the products, services and/or commercial practices obtained following a reservation through the Les Grappes site. 

In general, the user accepts and acknowledges that the reservation is not guaranteed. In this sense, Les Grappes does not guarantee the effectiveness of the reservation service. Availability is checked with the service provider before confirming the reservation. 

However, as Les Grappes cannot materially verify the accuracy of the information collected and/or given by the service providers, the user accepts that Les Grappes cannot be held responsible if the user does not manage to benefit from the services of the service provider partner. Thus, for example but not limited to, the user acknowledges and accepts that Les Grappes cannot be held liable if a reservation is canceled, in the event of a closed establishment, for whatever reason, or in the event that service is refused, for whatever reason.

The Buyer declares and guarantees that he/she is fully capable and authorized to use the bank card and that he/she has sufficient funds on the bank account attached to the bank card used, to pay for his/her order.

Les Grappes, with the services of the financial institution Stripe, may have to carry out checks to ensure the validity of payments and therefore may request supporting documents from the Buyer, which the latter undertakes to send within forty-eight (48) hours. In the event of non-receipt of these documents within the time limit specified or receipt of non-compliant documents, Les Grappes reserves the right to cancel the order(s).

2) by bank transfer: when the Buyer validates the order, Les Grappes’ bank details are displayed, and are also sent by e-mail to the address provided by the Buyer. Once the transfer has been made and received by Les Grappes, the Buyer will receive an order confirmation e-mail.

3) by bank check: completed checks should be sent to the following address:

Order: VINOSAKA - Order number

Address: LES GRAPPES, 15 rue du Sentier, 75002 PARIS.

Once the bank check has been received by Les Grappes, the Purchaser will receive an order confirmation e-mail. The Buyer has 15 (fifteen) days for the check to be received before the order is automatically canceled. 

A detailed invoice by Les Grappes is made available on the Buyer's account and sent to the Buyer when the package is shipped.

All payments are secured through Stripe or Paypal depending on the payment method chosen.

Les Grappes has adopted the most efficient security systems to date, which establish an encrypted connection directly between the Buyer and the bank. Les Grappes uses the Stripe solution using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption process but reserves the right to change the system at any time.

This Gift Certificate is valid for ninety (90) days, for an order on the Site of at least six (6) bottles from the same Seller. The Referred Friend may only benefit from the Welcome Gift Certificate once.

For his part, the Affiliate also obtains a Gift Certificate when a Referred Friend purchases a bottle of wine from the Vendor, provided that:

The Referred Friend buys a Product on the Site for the first time

The Referred Friend does not cancel his/her order.

No Gift Certificate will be given to the Referred Friend if:

The Affiliate buys a Product on the Referred Friend's account

The Affiliate buys a Product on his account for his Referrer.

The value of the Gift Certificate given to the Referrer is set by default at five Euros including all taxes (€5 including VAT). This amount is nevertheless subject to change. This Gift Certificate is valid for ninety (90) days. An Affiliate may only receive one Gift Certificate per Referred Friend.

Les Grappes undertakes never to use the imported email addresses without the express agreement of the Affiliate.

13.4. Exclusion

Les Grappes reserves the right to exclude an Affiliate from the Affiliate Program if the latter fails to comply with these GTC. In the event of exclusion, the Affiliate's Invitation Code becomes inactive, and no further Affiliate Relationship can be established.

The value of the Certificates and the conditions for obtaining them may also be modified at any time by Les Grappes.
