Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale Goods are sold and supplied to the Buyer by PRICES Our current prices for all goods and services are as quoted on our web-site, www.armit.co.uk, which where necessary is revised on a daily basis, or as specifically agreed with the customer. All prices are quoted In Bond or Duty Paid (which includes duty and VAT at the prevailing rates). All wines are offered subject to availability. We do not undertake to restock sold lines. Unless otherwise stated, prices are for a case containing 12 x 75 cl bottles. PAYMENT All orders will be processed on a first come first served basis, when received via the web-site or by telephone, e-mail, fax or post accompanied by your credit or debit card details. We no longer open credit accounts for private clients except by prior agreement; our normal mode of trading is by way of credit or debit card details with order. Existing credit customers are required to settle their accounts within 30 days (or such other period as is agreed in advance in writing) after invoice following which interest will be charged at a rate of 3% above the base rate of HSBC Plc from time to time (both before and after judgement where applicable). DELIVERY The minimum order is one case (9 litres or 12 (75cl) bottles). Wherever possible delivery will be made within 10 working days. If you buy online, there is a maximum order size of 10 cases. A single drop is our objective, but we reserve the right to divide deliveries. Delivery is free for all orders of £250.00 and over, anywhere in mainland DELIVERY FROM CUSTOMER RESERVES It has always been armit policy to provide free delivery from Client Reserves - this has meant subsidising the actual costs incurred. The dramatic increases in fuel costs led us to review this policy. This review also showed that with increasing proportions of wine not purchased from armit being stored, our opportunity to recover even part of the actual costs has reduced. Regrettably we have therefore modified our policy: with effect from 1st March 2008 we will be charging £15 per delivery for all wines delivered from Reserves irrespective of the number of cases delivered. We hope that clients will be able to reduce the impact of this change by withdrawing several cases at a time. CLAIMS Claims for breakages and missing bottles must be notified either in writing on the consignment note at the time of delivery or by post, fax or e-mail received by us within 5 working days. Non-delivery must be reported within 14 days of the no TITLE Property in Goods ordered from the Company shall pass to the Buyer when all monies owed by the Buyer to the Company have been paid. Until the property in Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall (save in the case of any resale by the Buyer) keep each consignment of Goods from the Company separate and marked as being the property of the Company and such Goods shall be properly stored, protected and insured and the Buyer shall hold them in a fiduciary capacity. The proceeds representing the invoice price of the Goods (including without limitation, insurance proceeds) shall be for the account of the Company and shall be held by the Buyer in trust for the Company and kept separate from the Buyer’s own funds and those of third parties. If the Buyer shall fail to pay owed sums to the Company when due, the Company may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, enter any property of the Buyer and take from the Buyer possession of any Goods in which the Company has retained rights. The placing and acceptance of orders shall form a contract on these terms, conditional upon our written confirmation of order which may be by the delivery of an invoice. INSOLVENCY The Company may terminate the contract by written notice if the Buyer becomes insolvent or is deemed to be unable to pay its debts within the meaning of Sections 123 or 268 of the Insolvency Act 1986, or if the Buyer enters into an individual voluntary arrangement pursuant to the said Act. Optional Services EN PRIMEUR ‘En Primeur’ is a French term for wine sold as a ‘future’, i.e. before it is bottled. Customers pay the opening price at the time the offer is made; the wine is then shipped after bottling, usually in Spring or Summer two years later. Once the additional costs of Duty, VAT and Delivery have been paid, we will arrange delivery of your order. Alternatively, you can have the wines stored In Bond at our cellars in Wiltshire and defer paying duty and VAT until you wish to take delivery.
