Terms of sale

These terms govern the sale of the Premium subscription to the Cépage service, published by Philippine Turbaux, sole trader (trading as "Cépage"), 2 rue Lucien Delval, 02420 Lehaucourt, France, SIREN 132 022 096. Subscribing implies unreserved acceptance of them.

Cépage helps you choose wine. The free plan gives 3 wine-list analyses in total, with no renewal (the first can be done without an account), and a journal of 30 tastings. It requires no payment and has no time limit.

The Premium plan gives 30 analyses a month (the counter resets on the 1st of each month), advice for meals at home (the wine for your dish, or the dish for your bottle), counted within those 30 analyses, an unlimited journal, and export of that journal to CSV and PDF.

Premium price: €7 per month, or €24 per year. VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code: the price shown is the final price paid. Prices may change for future subscriptions; a change never affects a subscription already running.

Cépage is about wine: the service and the subscription are for people aged 18 or over. Cépage sells no alcoholic drinks; it helps you choose among the wines offered by a restaurant or a shop.

Subscription happens online, from a Cépage account. Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. Cépage never has access to your card details and stores them at no point.

The subscription activates as soon as Stripe confirms payment. An invoice is made available in your subscription management area.

If you subscribe from the iPhone app, payment, renewal and cancellation go through your Apple account (App Store), under Apple's terms; you then cancel in Settings › your name › Subscriptions.

The subscription runs for one month or one year depending on the plan chosen, and renews automatically for the same duration.

You may cancel at any time, in a few clicks, from the "Your account" page with the "Cancel my subscription" button, or by writing to the contact address given in the legal notice. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid: Premium access continues until that date and no further payment is taken. A cancellation confirmation is sent to you by email.

In accordance with article L215-1 of the French Consumer Code, you are informed at least one month before each annual renewal of your option not to renew.

You normally have fourteen days to withdraw from a distance purchase, without reason or penalty (article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code).

Because the Premium subscription is digital content supplied immediately, by ticking the box provided before payment you expressly agree that performance begins at once and thereby waive your right of withdrawal, under article L221-28 13° of the same code. Without that box ticked, no payment is started.

This waiver does not remove your right to cancel at any time for the future, described above.

The digital service is covered by the legal guarantee of conformity under articles L224-25-12 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, for the whole duration of the subscription. If the service does not conform, you may have it brought into conformity or, failing that, obtain a price reduction or cancellation with a refund of the period not supplied.

The service is provided with professional care, without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability. Wine recommendations are indicative: they are matters of taste and do not constitute professional advice binding the publisher.

In the event of prolonged unavailability attributable to the publisher, a pro-rata refund of the unused period may be requested.

Recommendations help you choose a wine; they are not an encouragement to drink. Alcohol abuse is dangerous to health. Please drink responsibly.

Complaints may be sent by email to cepage.contact@gmail.com, or by post to the publisher's address. If your written complaint is not resolved, or receives no reply within two months, you may refer the matter free of charge to the consumer mediator the publisher is registered with: the Centre de la Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de Justice (CM2C), 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France, https://www.cm2c.net, where a request can be filed online. The request must be made within one year of your written complaint.

The data needed for the subscription is processed as described in the privacy policy, linked at the bottom of every page.

These terms are governed by French law. The consumer-protection provisions of the customer's country of residence remain applicable.
