Law
All contracts are governed by English law and jurisdiction.
Force Majeure
The company will not be liable for failure to meet agreed obligations due to prevailing circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Claims
Deliveries should be carefully inspected at the time of delivery. Any omissions or breakages should be noted on the delivery note before signing. Please notify us immediately of any breakages or wine shortages. We are unable to guarantee credit or replacements unless we are notified within 3 days of delivery of the order. Please be aware that multi-case orders can become separated. If you do not receive the balance of your order within 3 working days of the first delivery please contact us. Standard UK deliveries should always arrive within 3 working days of the date of order. So far as the law permits however the company shall not be liable for consequential loss or damage in any respect of an order not being delivered correctly or on time.
Ownership
All wines and spirits or other goods ordered remain the property of Cardinal Online Ventures Ltd (owner of The Cardinal's Cellar) or its associates until payment is received in full.
Return of Goods/Cancellation
Orders for goods to be delivered may be cancelled within 7 working days of receipt of goods. A full refund will be offered provided the goods remain in good condition and that the request to cancel is received in writing. Any cancelled order will be refunded within 30 days. A charge of £10 for collections will be payable. If returned wines are not deemed to be in a saleable condition, a re-delivery fee will also be charged and no refund will be offered. We regret that The Cardinal’s Cellar cannot offer refunds on opened bottles of wine. It should be remembered that all wines and their corks are subject to natural processes that, however well cared for, can affect the quality of the wine – particularly for the older fine wines which we tend to sell. This may mean that a small percentage of bottles sold by us are not of optimum quality. No liability will be accepted for this.
Description & Prices
The description and prices payable for the items you order are clearly set out on our website. If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to provide that item to you at the stated price provided that we notify you before we dispatch the item concerned. In the unlikely event that an item has been over charged a full refund of the difference will be given. Prices listed for wines are quoted per bottle and include VAT at 20%. Prices are subject to changes in duty and VAT.
