1. Object and general provisions

These General Conditions of Contracting (hereinafter the “General Conditions”), together with any particular conditions that may be established, regulate the conditions of the purchase of products through the website www.cvne.com (hereinafter the “Website” or the “Portal”), of Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España S.A. (hereinafter CVNE), with Tax Identification Code B-83546119, registered in the Mercantile Registry of Vitoria (Álava), Volume 1177, Folio 105, Page VI-10475, 111th entry, with registered office at Ctra.Logroño – Laguardia km.4.8 01300 Laguardia (Álava).

The use of the Website services, and the acquisition of any of the products offered, implies the User’s unreserved acceptance of each and every one of these General Conditions. Registering on the Portal and using the services means that your data as a User will become part of CVNE’s files, and will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Policy, which the User expressly declares to know and accept.

CVNE provides information on products, and offers the possibility of purchasing them through the Website. Anyone wishing to purchase products must be a “Registered User” or “Guest User”, requiring completion of the respective registration form before purchase and following the steps communicated subsequently by CVNE through the Website.

These General Conditions, together with the Legal Notice and the Privacy Policy  of the Website, are the sole conditions applicable to the use of the Portal and to the purchase of products through it, and replace any other conditions, except by prior written agreement between CVNE and the User. Consequently, any User accessing the Website, registering and purchasing products through the Portal agrees to submit to and is bound by the General Conditions, the Legal Notice and the Privacy Policy as drawn up at the time of accessing the Website.

Any User registering on the Website must be at least eighteen (18) years old, the minimum legal age to buy/consume alcoholic beverages.

2. Information on products

The photographs, graphic or iconographic representations and videos relating to CVNE’s Products, as well as any trademarks or distinctive marks on the Website, are for the purposes of providing as much information as possible. However, the User must bear in mind that they are intended as a guideline and, consequently, are not exhaustive.

The sale of these products will be to private individuals. CVNE reserves the right to decide, from time to time, the products offered to Users through the Portal. Accordingly, CVNE may at any time add new products to those included in the Portal, it being understood, unless otherwise established, that such new products will be governed by the provisions of the General Conditions in force at that time.

CVNE also reserves the right to cease providing access, at any time and without prior notice, to any of the products offered on the Portal.

In the event that, due to circumstances of force majeure, a product is not available after the purchase has been made, CVNE will inform the User by e-mail of the total or, as the case may be, partial cancellation of the order. The partial cancellation of the order does not grant the right to cancellation of the entire order, notwithstanding the exercise of the User’s right to withdraw in accordance with the provisions of these General Conditions.

3. Product purchase system

In order to purchase a product, the registered or guest User, who must enter his/her date of birth and be over eighteen (18) years old, has to select the product he/she wishes to buy and add it to the Shopping Basket. Once the product to be purchased has been selected, the User may continue shopping or click on the “Next” button. The User will then be shown the products selected for purchase and must choose to have the products sent to the address provided with the User’s registration particulars, (and may choose any of the addresses contained in his/her registration particulars). Finally, the user has to click on the “Confirm Order” button.

At the end of the purchase process, CVNE will send an e-mail confirming the order to the e-mail address provided by the User, within twenty-four (24) hours after the order was placed. The order confirmation sent by CVNE will not be valid as an invoice, only as proof of purchase. The Customer Service Department of CVNE will send the corresponding invoice to the User within a term of thirty (30) days after purchase.
