Amphora Terms & Conditions (25 November 2005)
General
This web document (dated 25 November 2005) supersedes all previous Amphora
Terms & Conditions documents with immediate effect and, until superseded by any new Terms & Conditions, constitutes the only terms on which we, as the Seller, are prepared to contract with the
Buyer.
Prices
All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT, unless specifically stated
otherwise. We reserve the right to change the price prior to acceptance of the order because of Duty, Budget and any other change in the cost of goods to us. Orders are accepted subject to
stock availability, and for execution at the price ruling at the date of invoice. Wine prices quoted, unless otherwise stated, are for:
We also supply cases containing several different wines, ‘mixed cases’.
Vintages
Whilst every endeavour will be made to deliver the vintages shown on the
Price List, there may be occasions when an older vintage will be sent until stocks are exhausted. This is because most customers generally prefer to receive wine lists showing forward vintages.
Delivery
The normal minimum carriage paid delivery is one case/9 ltrs within our
delivery area (Monday to Friday). All goods should be examined on receipt and any losses or breakages reported at the time of delivery.
Payment
Payment is due on each collection or delivery unless Account Credit
facilities have been arranged in advance. For Account Credit terms payment is due on or before the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the month in which the goods are invoiced. For
payments not made by the due date, the company is entitled to charge and receive interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 4% above clearing bank base rate for the time being from invoice date to
actual payment.
Risk and Title
Risk of damage or loss of the goods shall pass to the Buyer upon
delivery. The goods remain the property of the Seller until the Buyer has made payment in cash or cleared funds of the full purchase price, together with any other sums due to the Seller. The
Seller may repossess and dispose of any goods in which it has property and the Buyer grants all rights required by the Seller to locate, to gain access, to mark and remove them. Until property in
the goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee.
Limitation of Liability
Save in the case of our negligence, we shall not be held liable for any
death nor personal injury arising from the sale of wine to you. In all cases, including any negligence or breach of contract by us, we shall not be liable for any financial or consequential loss of
any nature and the limit of our liability shall be the purchase price of any wines found to be defective, or otherwise not in accordance with the terms of this contract.
Storage
To avoid wine becoming oxidised it is important to ensure the cork is kept
moist and therefore bottles should always be kept horizontally. Temperature is the most important factor in helping to keep wine in perfect condition. The ideal storage temperature is 52F. It
is important to avoid big changes in temperature, so try to maintain a constant temperature throughout the year.
