Terms & Conditions, effective July 2020
1. Scope
1.1 These conditions of Weingut Gebert (hereinafter referred to as the “Vendor”), apply to all sales, deliveries and services of the Vendor purchased by the Customer from the Vendor at this website. Any inclusion of the Customer’s conditions are rejected, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise.
1.2 “Customers” can be both consumers and businesses, whereby a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are mainly attributable to non-commercial or independent non-professional or non-business activity. By contrast, a business person is any natural or legal person, or legal partnership that acts out an independent professional or commercial activity when concluding a legal transaction.
1.3 All offers are exclusively addressed to customers who are authorised to acquire goods containing alcohol in the respective country of delivery, under its respective, applicable laws for the protection of young people.
1.4 Contracts are either in German or English.
2. Conclusion of an agreement
2.1 The products offered by the Vendor merely represent an invitation to the Customer to submit an offer to purchase. By completing the ordering process, the Customer enters into a binding proposal to purchase from and with the Vendor. The Vendor’s acceptance of this purchase proposal initially takes place following a separate declaration of acceptance within 3 workingdays of receiving the purchase proposal.
2.2 The ordering process begins when the Customer places a product in the cart. This is carried out by pressing the “Add to Cart” button on the product detail page.
In the cart, the Customer is then given the opportunity to change the order quantity by entering the desired number and pressing the „Update“ button, or to remove a product from the cart by pressing the “X” button.
Once the Customer has filled his personal cart with the products he wants to purchase, he can use the “Check out” button to continue with the order process on the next page.
If the Customer is already registered with the Vendor‘s online shop, he can continue his order by entering his registered e-mail address and associated password via the link “Click here to login”. If the Customer is not registered, he has to submit his own personal data. The Customer can now choose to either create an account with the Vendor by selecting the “Create an account” checkbox, or continue with his order as a guest without opening a Customer account before selecting a payment method offered by the Vendor.
By pressing the “Buy now” button, the Customer confirms the aforementioned details and is able to view his order in summary form.
2.3 The purchase is executed and email contact takes place using automated purchase processing software. The Customer therefore has to ensure that the email address designated for the purchase process is correct so that correspondence can take place using this address. If the Customer uses spam filters, he must ensure that all emails sent by the Vendor or its purchase process service providers are received.
3. Prices
The prices indicated by the Vendor include all price components, including the statutory German VAT. VAT is shown separately. The packaging and shipping costs are displayed and stated separately foreach product offered or over the link “Shipping Methods“. Other price components, such as additional taxes, duties or other charges, may be incurred for cross-border deliveries.
4. Terms of payment
Payments can be made in the following form:
Payment by bank transfer (in advance)
After making the purchase, the Customer is notified of the Vendor‘s bank account for payment purposes. The goods are shipped once the payment amount is credited to the stated Vendor‘s account;
Payment by PayPal
Once the Customer has ordered by pressing the „Buy“ button, he is redirected to the PayPal page where he approves his payment to the Vendor. The Customer‘s PayPal account is first debited once the contract is concluded. The goods are shipped once PayPal confirms payment;
Payment by invoice
Payments may made by invoice depend on the Customer‘s credit history. The Customer receives a commercial invoice from the Vendor along with the goods.
Payment by cash
Cash payments are accepted when the Customer picks the goods up from the Vendor‘s business premises.

Delivery takes place within the specified delivery time. If the final date of delivery falls on a Saturday, Sunday or, at the place of delivery, an officially recognised bank holiday, the next working day replaces this day.
Delivery agents may ask for an identification document to ensure the identity or age of the receiver.
6. Retention of title
6.1 The goods delivered remain the property of the Vendor until all claims under the contract are fulfilled.
6.2 If the Customer is a business, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, retention of title also applies beyond the current business relationship until settlement of all claims due to the Vendor in connection with the contract.
