Terms / Conditions

The following terms and conditions are included in every contract with the seller. They are compulsory for the current contract as well further contracts, even if not reiterated.

Contradictory terms and conditions or differing counter statements from the purchaser are not binding for the seller, even if the seller does not explicitly contradict them. To be legally effective, the terms and conditions need to be confirmed in writing from the seller.

The seller is offering his products in particular through the internet in this own online shop.

The customer's order can be made alternatively by phone, email, fax or post.  A contract exists first with receipt of the order by the seller, or by sale of the goods in the seller's local store in St. Goar, or at another sales point, such as private tastings. Acceptance of the contract is either appriate notice to the customer, or delivery of the product, always in consideration of the terms and conditions.

Prerequisite for a valid contract is that the customer agrees to be an adult 21 years or older, and accept that the package will be received in the hands of a legal aged adult. When you are ordering from Stefans Wine Paradise, ownership of the product passes to the purchaser as soon as it leaves the seller's shipping facility.

On order through the online shop includes several steps. First choose the products you would like to order.  Afterwards, fill in the specific customer information, billing address and (if different) the delivery address. Then choose the payment option.  In the last step, exercise the option to review all the information and make corrections. Once you click on "Kostenpflichtig bestellen" (chargeable order), the order goes to the seller and is considered a legal contract.

Products purchased directly in the shops in St. Goar, or at other sales events & locations, are not returnable.

If ordered online or by phone, fax, post or email, the purchaser can return the products within 14 days of delivery.  Written communication with the seller is required to notify a return is in progress, just send an immediate email.  The returned products must go directly to the seller. All outgoing mail expense and risk is taken by the seller as long as the product price is over 40 Euros. The package is fully injured against breakage.  The return costs will be born by the seller, as long the product price is over 40 €. Products costing under 40 Euros are returned at the cost of the purchaser.

Return of the product(s) must take place within 14 days. This deadline begins with receipt of the product by the customer. Notice of the return should be made in writing to the seller.  With cancellation of the contract by return of the product, all contract stipulations are also rescinded. All derived benefits to the customer are also cancelled.

Any damage or misuse of the product (change in packaging, or breakage, etc.) will change the amount of the refund, as compensation can be required.  This is not applicable when the damage should have been evident - as in a store purchase - at the time of shipping.  In other respects, the customer may avoid compensation obligations as long as he/she does not use the product or interfere with its sale value.

The insurance for shipment of the ordered goods is carried by the seller. Costs of the shipment are carried by the customer unless and until those costs reach a level agreed by the seller for the goods to be delivered or are otherwise agreed to in writing

Products delivered by the seller remain property of the seller, even after delivery, until full payment has been made by the customer.
