General conditions of sale

General conditions

Any order placed at our house entails unreserved acceptance of our general conditions. These replace any different or contrary clause appearing on the documents and correspondence of our customers.

Transport and reception of goods

Our goods travel at the risk of the recipient who will check their condition upon delivery. In the event of damage, loss or theft, it is up to our client to take the initiative in making a complaint to the carrier, and this, within the deadlines and in the forms set out for the latter. No claim is accepted against us, if it is not made within eight days of delivery.

Reservation of property

The transfer of ownership of the goods sold is subject to full payment of the price. The delivery of a commercial paper will not entail novation, the original receivable will subsist with all its guarantees and in particular the retention of title clause, until said commercial paper has actually been paid. It is the same for all deferrals of payments. The goods delivered being under the responsibility of the customer, it is up to him to have taken out insurance "on behalf of whom it will belong" against all the risks that the goods can run. If a seizure were to be made on the goods, the customer undertakes to immediately inform the Champagnes Gonet Sulcova in order to allow him to object to it within the time limits.

If the price is not paid in full by the due date, the seller may, after a formal notice, take back his goods. The customer will have to pay the costs relating to the return. The down payments will remain acquired, will be charged to the sums remaining due taking into account the value of the goods taken back and the balance will be allocated to the Gonet Sulcova Champagnes as compensation.

Financial conditions

Failure to meet a single deadline or any change in the client's legal situation makes outstanding amounts due and not yet due immediately.
There are between Gonet Sulcova Champagnes and his client a current account agreement. When the client of Gonet Sulcova Champagnes simultaneously has the qualities of Debtor and Creditor of Gonet Sulcova Champagnes, compensation will be made.

It also indicates that the penalty for delay will be in the event of non-compliance raised to 3 times the rate of legal interest per month of delay.
