Terms & Conditions

There is no minimum order.

By the time of confirmation, the prices/vintages might change. We will do our very best to acquire the wine and vintage you would like, subject to availability.

Delivery times will be automatically indicated when an order  is placed. We are subcontracting trusted carriers, but there may be delays that are beyond our control. We cannot be held  responsible.

No return of goods can be accepted, and we do not offer sale or return facilities unless mutually agreed upon order  confirmation.

Riviera Wine makes every effort to ensure that all wines we sell are of an impeccable quality and in an appropriate condition  for the age of the wine.
This includes purchasing from trusted sources with a solid track record, attending  winea uthenticating training, physical inspections, and appropriate storage conditions at our warehouse.

As a result, condition issues rarely occur.  However, despite above mentioned efforts on the behalf of Riviera Wine faulty bottles does occur on rare occasions.

For corked bottles or non-consumable wines, Riviera Wine will be under no obligation to offer replacements or other compensation of any kind. Corked bottles are the responsibility of the producer as it is a fault linked to production and quality control at production site. 
Furthermore, it is impossible for a supplier to guarantee that wines will always show at their best. Regardless of reputation and price, wine is an evolving product, and it is impossible to know all events a certain bottle has been through in its lifetime.
Wines can age and mature in different ways, and we will not bear any liability for subjective judgments such as quality or drinkability.

The wine is therefore sold as seen and we cannot accept returns nor reimbursement for any wines should they be corked, tainted, or fatigued in any way.

If (and only if) the following conditions are met, wine and spirits orders can be delivered tax-free:

• The vessel is recorded in a commercial register. 
• The yacht has a permanent crew. 
• The vessel is assigned to a business activity. 
• The vessel measures at least 15 meters in length. 
• The vessel sailed beyond French territorial waters for at least 70% of its voyages made during the previous year. 

You will need to provide copies of the following in advance of any delivery: 

• Certificate of registry – commercial yacht 
• Declaration of compliance with the conditions of application of VAT exemptions related to operations  provided for certain ships under 2°,3°,6° and 7° of II of Article 262 of the General Tax Code (CGI)
• MYBA charter agreement 
• Crew list 
• Commercial invoice (billing address must be same as the certificate of commercial registration)

Please note:

• The customs agent's fee is at least €200 but may be higher depending on the amount of the invoice. Therefore, tax-free delivery is only worthwhile when VAT exceeds €200 – (or a minimum order of €1,000).
• In order to be able to deliver tax-free, customs require a 48 hours' notice. Please inform us at the time of  ordering if we need to set up a tax free. Delivery can only take place once customs have given their authorisation. Customs may charge extra fee if deliveries are requested outside their office hours (09.00-12.00 or 14.00  -17.00, Monday – Friday.) 
• Wines and spirits purchased tax free are supposed be consumed on board and during the charter.

As a reminder: Failure to comply with any of the above-mentioned conditions constitutes a change of assignment within the meaning of 2° of III of Article 257 of the CGI justifying a recall of VAT from the beneficiary.
