General Terms and Conditions of Sale

The website accessible at https://boutique.champagne-yves-loison.com is an online sales site operated by SAS LOISON, which is also the seller of the goods. SAS LOISON has a share capital of €10,000, is registered with the Reims Trade and Companies Register under number 834 512 014, and has its registered office at 22 Grande Rue – 51140 PROUILLY, France. VAT No. FR04834512014.

All deliveries are subject to these terms of sale and written confirmation of the order.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, delays in delivery cannot give rise to compensation or cancellation of the order, particularly in the following cases:
• Payment terms have not been complied with;
• Force majeure or any event likely to delay or suspend delivery of the goods.

Our wines, even when shipped carriage paid, travel at the recipient’s risk. In the event of damage or loss, the recipient must make all necessary reservations and exercise any recourse against the carriers, who alone are responsible, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within 48 hours.

Minimum orders are 6 units, and in multiples of 6.

STORAGE AND PRESERVATION

To preserve Champagne wine, bottles must be kept constantly lying down, in a cool place, protected from light, and away from sudden temperature variations.

Any claims regarding the quality of the goods, excluding transport-related disputes, must be made in writing within eight days of delivery by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

No goods may be returned without our written consent, which does not imply any recognition of liability.

Our invoices are payable in cash, net and without discount upon receipt, or by bill of exchange subject to prior agreement only.

ENFORCEABILITY OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

The general terms and conditions of sale are systematically provided to each buyer to enable them to place an order. Consequently, placing an order implies full and unconditional acceptance of these general terms and conditions.

ORDER MODIFICATION

Any modification or cancellation of an order requested by the buyer can only be considered by the seller if it is received in writing before the products are dispatched.

SPECIAL PRICING CONDITIONS

Any use of codes intended to modify prices (such as promotional codes) is subject to the approval of CHAMPAGNE YVES LOISON. Such use is only permitted if the code has been provided by CHAMPAGNE YVES LOISON.

We reserve the right to cancel the use of any unauthorized code and to cancel any order placed using such a code.

PAYMENT TERMS

Our invoices are payable on the due date indicated on them. Bills of exchange sent to the customer must be returned duly accepted within the time limits provided by law.

At the start of a business relationship, it is customary to request from the Buyer at least a deposit covering the value of the raw materials to be supplied and the expenses to be incurred.

In accordance with Article L441-6 of the French Commercial Code, late payment penalties are due from the day following the payment date shown on the invoice. The rate of these penalties is 20% per year, with a minimum of €100.

Judicial recovery proceedings or recovery through any debt collection agency will result in an additional increase of 5% of the amount claimed, with a minimum fixed amount of €100. The same provisions apply in the case of collective insolvency proceedings.

Failure to pay for our goods and wines by the due date will result in the immediate payment of all sums owed, regardless of the agreed method of payment, and the application, as a penalty clause, of compensation equal to 15% of the sums due.

In accordance with Law No. 92-1442 of 31 December 1992, non-payment will also result in late payment penalties at a rate equal to one and a half times the legal interest rate.

In the event of debt recovery, a fixed administrative fee of €150 excluding VAT plus VAT will be payable to CHAMPAGNE YVES LOISON, and the client will bear all file handling, litigation, and recovery costs.

In the event of extension of bills of exchange, the costs and interest resulting from such extension will be borne by the buyer.

In the event of dispute, the Commercial Court of our registered office shall have sole jurisdiction. For export disputes, the courts of our registered office shall also have exclusive jurisdiction, including in the event of third-party proceedings or multiple defendants.

In the event of non-payment, the seller may terminate the sale automatically and without formal notice by sending a simple registered letter.

RETENTION OF TITLE CLAUSE

In accordance with Law No. 80-335 of 12 May 1980, the goods mentioned remain the property of CHAMPAGNE YVES LOISON until full payment has been made.

Exchange rate risk is borne by the buyer.

Any re-export of our wines, to any country, is prohibited.
