CUSTOMER/MEMBER AGREEMENT
I am 21 years or older.
There is no fee to join a wine club offered by Dave’s Wines, powered by WineSavage. I may join now and I will not be charged until wine is shipped to me
As a member, I will receive shipments of the Dave’s Wines Wine Club from WineSavage throughout the year. Our quarterly shipments are typically sent in the following cadence:
- Mid-February
- Mid-May
- Mid/late September
- Early December
I agree that WineSavage will charge my credit card for each shipment, including shipping and handling, which may be charged by WineSavage or by an outside shipper acting as my agent. I agree that I have read and understand WineSavage’s privacy policy.
As a new member, I will automatically receive the most recent wine club shipment–supply permitting–up until 4 weeks prior to the next shipment’s release. If I sign up within 4 weeks of a scheduled ship date, I will have the option of receiving both shipments, or just the pending one.
It is my obligation to notify WineSavage in writing of any address changes before packages are shipped. WineSavage will not be responsible for shipping charges incurred due to misdirected packages.
I acknowledge that Wine shipments require a signature, at the time of delivery, from someone 21 years or older. No wine will be delivered to a visibly intoxicated person, and any person unable to produce age verification forfeits his or her right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may be held in storage at a local depot until appropriate identification is produced, or it may be shipped back to WineSavage. Missed delivery attempts, re-routes or returned shipments may adversely affect wine quality. It is highly recommended to ship wine to business addresses, rather than home addresses.
Common carriers: UPS, Fed Ex, and GSO will attempt delivery 2-3 times before returning packages to the sender. Because of the adult signature requirement, wine cannot be delivered to a PO Box address.
I will be charged for all costs associated with the return of wine or other products to WineSavage due to unsuccessful delivery attempts to me. In the unlikely event of damage in transit, I am responsible for filing a claim directly with the appropriate third party transit carrier (e.g. FedEx or UPS.). Reshipped packages will be at my own expense. Additional information can be found under shipping & return policies.
Membership Billing Procedures – I will receive an email notifications in advance of every wine shipment, giving me the opportunity to update account preferences including payment method and delivery address, or make special arrangements should I be traveling or unable to receive delivery.
If no changes are requested, WineSavage will proceed with billing the authorized credit card on file, and the wine order will be shipped within one week unless another delivery date has been arranged.
Modifying or Canceling a Membership – I may cancel my membership by doing so in writing at any time. Cancellations must be submitted in writing to daveswines@winesavage.com. Cancellations received before the collection of payment for a specific wine shipment will be made effective immediately. Cancellation requests received after payment (regardless of shipment status) will be effective following delivery of the paid order. If a club shipment has been shipped but not received prior to our receipt of my written cancellation, I will be responsible to pay for that final shipment. Returned orders as a result of membership cancellation are subject to return shipping and handling fees. For more information, please refer to our Shipping & return policies.
Shipping & Return Policies – WineSavage uses direct to consumer shipping permits and ships in accordance with direct shipping laws. ALL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PURCHASED FROM DAVE’S WINES WINE CLUB ARE SOLD IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND TITLE PASSES TO THE BUYER IN CALIFORNIA. WineSavage makes no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import alcoholic beverages into any state outside of California. The buyer is solely responsible for the shipment of alcoholic beverage products. By placing an order, buyer authorizes WineSavage to act on buyer’s behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver buyer’s order.
All in-stock wines will be processed and shipped within five business days. WineSavage ships Monday through Wednesday, and shipping schedules vary depending on the destination of the order and the service selected. Temperature-controlled ground shipments depart our fulfillment center once a week on a climate-controlled truck to a local UPS/FedEx hub. From there, the wine arrives via standard ground service; please expect delivery 5-14 days from the date you placed your order. Should delivery by a specific date be required, please contact us to make special arrangements.
Wine is a perishable commodity. It is intolerant of temperature extremes: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of the wine during shipment. WineSavage will make every effort to ensure a safe delivery of my wine to my home or business. WineSavage is not responsible for, and will not replace, wine that is damaged by extreme weather conditions during shipment. When the common carrier takes possession of my wine order, responsibility for the wine transfers to me as the purchaser.
We allow products to be returned only if the product is defective. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to determine whether or not products are defective. Empty bottles of wine are never considered defective product. By California State Law return of alcohol products can only be for exchange of the identical product or for store credit. There is no cash, check or credit card refunds under any circumstances.
Should my club shipment be returned for any reason, the fee to reship would be the full rate charged by the common carrier to WineSavage.
- A $25 return fee will be assessed for: eligible returns, missed deliveries
- A $20 handling fee will be assessed for: address corrections and carrier redirects (after shipment has been initiated)
- Reshipping will be billed at current shipping rates (they are not flat-rate eligible)
Void where prohibited by law.
