The order is prepared once Moulin de la Roque has received payment and all the information necessary for the proper execution of the contract.

The customer has the right to return or refund their order to Moulin de la Roque without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) days after communicating their decision, or to withdraw from the contract. The withdrawal period expires fourteen (14) calendar days after the day on which the customer or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the customer takes physical possession of the product.

By express agreement, Moulin de la Roque retains ownership of the goods supplied until they have been paid for in full, in accordance with the terms of Law No. 80 336 of May 1, 1980, relating to retention of title.
Le Moulin de la Roque is bound by the legal warranty against hidden defects, within the meaning of Article 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, which states: “The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the item that render it unfit for its intended use, or that diminish its use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, had they been aware of them.” Consequently, the buyer has up to two months (from the date of delivery) to submit their complaint to Moulin de la Roque. Beyond this period, Moulin de la Roque will no longer be able to guarantee the wines, as it is unable to check the quality of the storage conditions (an essential factor in wine preservation), or the buyer must provide proof that the wine was altered prior to sale. In order to allow Moulin de la Roque to assess the wines itself, the buyer is asked to kindly leave them at its disposal; Moulin de la Roque will arrange for their collection at its own expense. If the problem actually concerns one or two bottles, the buyer will be reimbursed for the value of the defective wines in the form of a credit note (gift voucher). For more than two bottles, the refund will be made by bank check.
– Furthermore, Moulin de la Roque undertakes to cancel the order at the customer’s request and to refund the customer in full in the event of failure to meet delivery deadlines, except in cases of force majeure specific to Moulin de la Roque or its carriers.
– In the event of breakage of the products ordered followed by a stock shortage, Moulin de la Roque will offer the buyer a product of equal or superior quality without affecting the terms and conditions of sale (particularly in terms of price).
