All orders for the supply of goods by Barnsole Vineyard Limited are made subject to these Terms and Conditions of supply. Any provision contained in the Purchaser’s contractual documentation which conflicts with these Terms and Conditions or would in any way moderate, qualify or nullify these Terms and Conditions are inapplicable to Barnsole Vineyard Limited unless the specific provision has been expressly agreed in writing by a partner of Barnsole Vineyard Limited. No other employee or agent has any authority to alter or qualify these conditions.

2. ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION

Subject to the following, a purchaser may purchase any goods directly from Barnsole Vineyard Limited at Barnsole Vineyard Limited’s premises.

Barnsole Vineyard Limited may withdraw any quotation at any time without notice and without providing a reason. Furthermore, Barnsole Vineyard Limited may refuse to supply a quotation at any time without providing a reason.
Unless withdrawn by Barnsole Vineyard Limited, all quotations are open for 30 days from the date of the quotation. A contract to supply goods is formed only when Barnsole Vineyard Limited accepts the Purchasers offer to buy by providing an Acknowledgement of Order Form.
Barnsole Vineyard Limited reserves the right to cancel any uncompleted order or suspend delivery in the event that the Purchaser fails to perform his contractual obligations to Barnsole Vineyard Limited.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT

All prices are quoted inclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes relating to the sale and delivery of goods unless otherwise specified.
Delivery charges are not included in the quoted price of a case or a bottle, and may give rise to an additional charge.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by a Director of Barnsole Vineyard Limited, payment shall be made within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Barnsole Vineyard Limited reserves the right to require payment in full prior to the dispatch of the goods.
If the Purchaser’s Order is to be dispatched in instalments, payment for each bottle or case of wine will be invoiced separately at the point of dispatch.

Time for payment shall be of the essence.
No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Barnsole Vineyard Limited has received cleared funds.

4. CANCELLATION

A purchaser may cancel an order for whatever reason at any time up to 7 days from the time that the order was placed or 7 days from receipt of goods (whichever is longer).

5. DELIVERY

The Delivery Charge shall be set out on the quotation and the Acknowledgement of Order and shall be part of the total price quoted to the Purchaser, except where the Purchaser is placing an Order at Barnsole Vineyard Limited’s premises and has agreed to take the goods away at that time.
Barnsole Vineyard Limited will deliver the goods to UK mainland postal addresses. Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Purchaser at the time of placing the order.

Barnsole Vineyard Limited will make every reasonable effort to deliver the goods within 10 working days, and unless it is otherwise agreed in writing, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to cancel the order in whole or in part on the grounds of delayed delivery howsoever caused.

In the event that Barnsole Vineyard Limited is not able to make delivery within 10 working days, Barnsole Vineyard Limited will contact the Purchaser and keep him updated.
If the Purchaser is not available to take delivery, Barnsole Vineyard Limited’s delivery agents will leave the goods in a safe place, provided that the Purchaser has provided instruction to Barnsole Vineyard Limited at the time of placing the order.
