Upon notice published through the service, we may modify this agreement at any time. You agree and continue to agree to use our services in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the policies and guidelines outlined below.

Rules For Online Conduct

By using the service, you agree that you will not attempt to undermine the integrity of this web site.

Ordering
  • By submitting the order, you are confirming that you are over the age of 18.
  • We reserve the right not to accept any order.

Delivery

  • Our delivery service covers the entire mainland United Kingdom.
  • We will endeavour to deliver the goods within 3 working days during normal working hours on Monday to Friday. If however, this delivery period is not suitable, arrangements can be made for an alternative day or time at extra cost.
  • SAMWO has authorised our carriers to deliver only when a signature for receipt is obtainable. However, where specific instructions are given to leave the wine without a signature being obtained in a designated 'safe place', or to leave the delivery at an address other than that of the customer, SAMWO cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising as a result of carrying out those instructions.
  • Independent carriers are used for all deliveries. They will attempt to deliver the goods twice, after which time arrangements must be made directly with them for a convenient delivery day at your expense. If the delivery has not been successful within 7 days, then the goods will be returned to our warehouse.

Prices

  • All our prices are inclusive of VAT.
  • Our minimum purchase is 12 standard bottles (9 litres) of wines.

Returns

  • We will provide a full refund of any wines that are faulty. This does not affect your statutory rights.
  • Faulty bottles may be required to be returned to us and we will arrange this as necessary at your convenience.

Breakages

If any bottles are damaged or broken the carrier will normally not deliver the case and a replacement case will be despatched, at no additional cost, as soon as possible. We will keep you advised on the status of your order. If a breakage is found after delivery please contact us immediately. Please wherever possible retain the original packing.

Substitutions

There may be occasions when one of our wines is temporarily out of stock - we will offer you an alternative of equal value which you can accept or decline. It is possible that the vintage indicated on the web site is no longer available and if this happens we will offer you the vintage which we have in stock. You can accept or decline the replacement vintage or an equivalent value and quality alternative. In either eventuality we will keep you fully informed.

Cancellations and Complaints

  • Any order may be cancelled but any cancellation must take place within seven working days from date of delivery. Should you decide to cancel, all charges to you will be refunded as soon as the goods are returned in merchantable condition.
  • In the event of complaint, please email customers@southamericanwinesonline.co.uk giving as much detail of your complaint as possible. All complaints will be acknowledged within 2 working days and we will endeavour to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Each complaint will be treated as confidential and will be attended to by a senior manager or director.
