About AVIENNE

The vision of both Alexandra Schmedes, a winemaker with many years of international winemaking experience, and Armin Zogbaum, an internationally renowned photographer, artist and declared Rosé fan, has found its natural conclusion with the launch of AVIENNE.

Their passion paved the way to realising a dream: to create a state-of-the-art Rosé wine, unique and enticing. This delicate and elegant Rosé wine was created in close cooperation at Alexandra’s winery Bodegas Más Que Vinos in Toledo. A beautiful old Garnacha vineyard located on the Spanish high plateau, constantly bathed in the most extraordinary pure light, and organically farmed grapes that are tended exclusively by hand make up the essence of AVIENNE. With loving dedication to growing the perfect fruit and every attention to detail, the two friends capture pureness, true finesse and perfection in every bottle of AVIENNE.

Due to the very low yields produced by this old single-vineyard Garnacha, only a limited number of bottles is produced. While waiting for the grapes to reach full ripeness in autumn, our priority is patience and mindfulness. And when the moment of harvest finally arrives, a special magic takes hold of us all. Accompanied by the cool morning breeze, we carefully select and handpick our grapes. We pick only ripe and healthy berries with the most delicate aromas and finest flavours. 2021 is the first vintage of AVIENNE.

Uncorking a bottle of AVIENNE releases the sound of laughter, happiness and joy! With a colour reminiscent of a Mediterranean evening sky, with aromas of delicate white flowers and notes of red berries and elegant fruit, this wine touches all the senses. AVIENNE is a wine that celebrates the beauty of life to the full, and is meant to accompany every special moment, every unique memory, every colourful sunset and perhaps even a sunrise …

GTC

GTC (General Terms and Conditions )

English translation for the convenience of our customers. In the event of any discrepancy, the German version shall prevail.

 

1. Scope of Application

1.1  These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) of AVIENNE WINE OHG (hereinafter “Seller”) apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter “Customer”) concludes with the Seller in relation to the goods presented by the Seller in its online shop. The inclusion of the Customer’s own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2  A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2. Conclusion of Contract

2.1  The product descriptions contained in the Seller’s online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve as the basis for the submission of a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2  The Customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the Seller’s online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the Customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. The Customer may also submit the offer to the Seller by e-mail.

2.3  The Seller may accept the Customer’s offer within five days by sending the Customer an order confirmation in text form by e-mail, whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the Customer is decisive in this respect, or by delivering the ordered goods to the Customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the Customer is decisive, or by requesting the Customer to pay after the Customer has placed the order. If several of the aforementioned alternatives apply, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the Customer and ends at the close of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the result that the Customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.4  If a payment method offered via the payment service provider PayPal is selected, payment is processed by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter “PayPal”). This concerns in particular the payment methods offered in the online shop, namely “PayPal”, “PayPal Pay Later” (deferred or instalment payment via PayPal) and “SEPA Direct Debit via PayPal”. The respective applicable PayPal terms apply – subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full, or – if the Customer does not have a PayPal account – subject to the Terms for Payments without a PayPal Account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/privacywax-full. For the “PayPal Pay Later” payment method, separate PayPal terms may additionally apply, to which the Customer is referred during the ordering process. If the Customer pays using a PayPal-offered payment method selectable during the online ordering process, the Seller hereby declares acceptance of the Customer’s offer at the point in time at which the Customer clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5  When an offer is submitted via the Seller’s online order form, the contract text is stored by the Seller after conclusion of the contract and sent to the Customer in text form by e-mail after the Customer has submitted their order. The Seller does not make the contract text accessible beyond this. If the Customer has set up a user account in the Seller’s online shop before submitting their order, the order data is archived on the Seller’s website and can be accessed by the Customer free of charge via their password-protected user account by entering the relevant login data.

2.6  Before submitting the order via the Seller’s online order form, the Customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better identifying input errors can be the browser’s zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. The Customer can correct their entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions throughout the electronic ordering process until they click the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7  Only the German and English languages are available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8  Order processing and contact generally take place by e-mail and automated order processing. The Customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by them for order processing is correct, so that the e-mails sent by the Seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the Customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller to process the order can be delivered.

2.9  When ordering alcoholic beverages, the Customer confirms upon submitting the order that they have reached the legally required minimum age.

3. Right of Withdrawal

3.1  Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal.

3.2  Further information on the right of withdrawal can be found in the Seller’s Cancellation Policy.

4. Prices and Payment Terms

4.1  Unless otherwise stated in the Seller’s product description, the prices stated are total prices that include statutory value added tax. Any additional delivery and shipping costs are stated separately in the respective product description.

4.2  The payment option(s) will be communicated to the Customer in the Seller’s online shop.

4.3  The invoice amount is due for payment immediately upon conclusion of the contract, unless otherwise stipulated by the payment method chosen by the Customer.

4.4  Purchase on account may be agreed as a payment method exclusively for B2B customers. The purchase price falls due after the goods have been delivered and invoiced and is to be paid within 14 (fourteen) days of receipt of the invoice without deduction, unless otherwise agreed.

5. Delivery and Shipping Terms

5.1  Goods are delivered by dispatch to the delivery address specified by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed.

5.2  If delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, the Customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Seller as a result. This does not apply with regard to the costs of dispatch if the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. With regard to the return costs, where the Customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal, the provision made in the Seller’s Cancellation Policy applies.

5.3  If the Customer acts as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the Customer as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the dispatch. If the Customer acts as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally passes to the Customer only upon handover of the goods to the Customer or to a person authorised to receive them. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods also passes to the Customer in the case of consumers as soon as the Seller has delivered the item to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the dispatch, if the Customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or the other person or institution designated to carry out the dispatch, and the Seller has not previously named this person or institution to the Customer.

5.4  The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-supply. This applies only in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a specific covering transaction with the supplier with due care. The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the Customer will be informed without delay and the consideration will be refunded without delay.

6. Warranty

The statutory warranty rights apply.

7. Liability

The Seller is liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory claims, including claims in tort, for damages and reimbursement of expenses, as follows:

7.1  The Seller is liable without limitation on any legal grounds in the event of intent or gross negligence, in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, body or health, on the basis of a guarantee promise unless otherwise provided in this respect, and on the basis of mandatory liability such as under the German Product Liability Act.

7.2  If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to the preceding clause. Material contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the Seller according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the Customer may regularly rely.

7.3  In all other respects, the Seller’s liability is excluded.

7.4  The foregoing liability provisions also apply with regard to the Seller’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

8. Protection of Minors (Youth Protection Act)

In accordance with the German Youth Protection Act (Jugendschutzgesetz), we deliver alcoholic beverages only to persons who have reached the age of 18. Our packaging is marked with a conspicuous coloured sticker indicating that no handover may take place to persons under 18. In addition, in the event of the slightest doubt, the delivery agents are obliged to have the identity and the age of majority confirmed by presentation of an identity card and to hand over the goods only to persons of legal age.

9. Applicable Law

All legal relationships between the parties are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the laws on the international sale of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence.

10. Place of Jurisdiction

If the Customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller’s place of business is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract. If the Customer has their registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Seller’s place of business is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the Customer’s professional or commercial activity. However, in the aforementioned cases, the Seller is in any event entitled to bring proceedings before the court at the Customer’s place of business.

11. Consumer Dispute Resolution

The Seller is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you, or a third party named by you who is not the carrier, acquire(s) physical possession of the last goods.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us

AVIENNE WINE OHG

c/o KNUEPPEL & COMPAGNON

Dorotheenstraße 14

10117 Berlin

E-mail: orders@avienne-wine.com

of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail).

You may use the model withdrawal form for this purpose, although this is not mandatory.

In addition, you can declare your withdrawal via the withdrawal function provided on our website. To do so, click the “Withdraw from contract” button, which you can find at [location/link of the withdrawal function – please insert], and confirm your withdrawal in the subsequent form.

If you make use of the withdrawal function, we will send you confirmation of receipt of such a withdrawal without delay (e.g. by e-mail).

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of fourteen days has expired.

You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exclusion or Premature Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not exist for contracts for the supply of goods that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

The right of withdrawal does not exist for contracts for the supply of alcoholic beverages, the price of which was agreed upon at the conclusion of the contract, but which can be delivered only after 30 days, and the actual value of which depends on fluctuations in the market that the trader cannot control.

The right of withdrawal expires prematurely for contracts for the supply of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal was removed after delivery.

The right of withdrawal expires prematurely for contracts for the supply of sound or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package if the seal was removed after delivery.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who, at the time of conclusion of the contract, are not nationals of a Member State of the European Union and whose sole place of residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

Unless otherwise agreed, there is no right of withdrawal for contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance. Furthermore, a right of withdrawal is also excluded for contracts that have as their subject matter the sale of tickets for date-bound leisure events.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our web pages without providing any personal information. Each time a web page is accessed, the web server merely automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offering. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your site visit.

Hosting services provided by a third party

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider (Strato, www.strato.de) provides the services for hosting and presenting the website for us. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offering. All data collected within the scope of using this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop, as described below, is processed on its servers. Processing on other servers takes place only within the scope explained here. This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing and when Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we require the data for contract processing, for handling your contact request or for opening the customer account, and without providing it you cannot complete the order and/or the account opening or cannot send the contact request. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contract processing and to handle your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use the data beyond this in a manner permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be carried out either by a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Disclosure of Data

For the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, where applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us, or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in with your access data with the payment service provider during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.

Disclosure of data to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent to do so during or after your order, we pass on your e-mail address and telephone number, on the basis of this consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, to the selected shipping service provider so that it can contact you prior to delivery for the purpose of announcing or arranging the delivery. The consent can be withdrawn at any time by a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider. After withdrawal, we delete the data provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use the data beyond this in a manner permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy.

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Insofar as cookies or comparable technologies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website (in particular for analysis and marketing purposes), we use them exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant via our cookie banner and can withdraw at any time with effect for the future. Some cookies are deleted at the end of the browser session (session cookies); others remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can also set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, decide individually about their acceptance or generally exclude the acceptance of cookies. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Use of Google Analytics for web analysis

Insofar as you have consented, this website uses Google Analytics (GA4), a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Google Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies. IP anonymisation is activated. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out; it is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023) and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings. After the purpose ceases to apply and we cease to use Google Analytics, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

6. Advertising via Marketing Networks

Google Ads Remarketing

Insofar as you have consented, we advertise for this website via Google Ads in the Google search results and on third-party websites. For this purpose, a so-called remarketing cookie from Google is set when you visit our website, which enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. A transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings. After the purpose ceases to apply and we cease this use, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Further information on the use of data by Google as well as setting and objection options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the ad settings (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

7. Contacting Us

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone or social media), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and processing it pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The users’ details may be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable enquiry organisation. We delete the requests once they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; in addition, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

8. Online Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal (Withdrawal Function)

If you exercise your right of withdrawal via the withdrawal function on our website, we process the data you provide there (in particular your name, details to identify the contract and the electronic means of communication you provide for the confirmation of receipt). The processing is carried out to fulfil our legal obligation pursuant to Section 356a of the German Civil Code (BGB) and for contract processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR. We collect only the data necessary to assign and process your withdrawal. The data is deleted after the reverse transaction has been completed and after expiry of the statutory retention periods.

9. Online Presences in Social Media and Integration of Third-Party Content

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, prospective customers and users active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing policies of their respective operators apply. Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users’ data insofar as they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. by posting on our online presences or sending us messages.

Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers – where required on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG), otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts. This always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the users’ IP address, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content.

Vimeo

We embed videos from the “Vimeo” platform of the provider Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram)

Insofar as you have consented, we use functions and content of the Facebook and Instagram services, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”). This may include content such as images, videos, texts and buttons. If users are members of Facebook or Instagram, Meta can assign the access to the aforementioned content and functions to the users’ profiles there. A transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Further information on data processing as well as setting and objection options can be found in Meta’s privacy information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Insofar as we process personal data as explained above to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is carried out for the purposes of direct marketing, you can exercise this right at any time as described above. Insofar as the processing is carried out for other purposes, you have a right to object only if there are grounds arising from your particular situation.

After exercising your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. This does not apply if the processing is carried out for the purposes of direct marketing. In that case, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.

12. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – where applicable – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

In the case of the processing of personal data on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject withdraws their consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, insofar as it is no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation and/or there is no longer any legitimate interest on our part in continued storage.

In the case of the processing of personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

In the case of the processing of personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this policy regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
