3. Wine Pick-Up or Delivery: You may pick up your wine at the winery or have it shipped to you.  Wines provided or delivered by the Membership are for personal consumption only and may not be resold.  Additional wine purchased online or at the winery does not apply towards your Wine Club commitment.      

   Shipping Members – In the event your wine is shipped, please note that deliveries must be received by a person 21 years of age, or older, and verification of age is required at the time of delivery.  UPS will attempt to deliver the package containing alcohol three (3) times before sending it back to BOTTAIA Winery.  If a package returns, please contact the Wine Club directly at (951) 365-3388.  A re-shipping fee will be applied to all orders that are re-shipped.

   Pick-Up Members – BOTTAIA Winery urges will-call members to pick up their shipments within the shipment month. Due to limited quantities, shipment-specific wines are only guaranteed during that shipment month. If the wine is no longer available by the time of pick-up, we will attempt to replace it with wine of equal value. Wines of lesser or greater value will either be credited or charged the difference.

   If you are unable to pick up your wine during the shipment month, you must call or email BOTTAIA Winery to make other arrangements. If a wine release is not picked up within 60 days from the start of the shipment month, and no prior arrangements have been made, the wines will be carefully packed and shipped the following week to the shipping address on file for an additional charge. 

4. PAYMENT VERIFICATION: ALL FEES FOR WINE CLUB MEMBERSHIPS AND ASSOCIATED CHARGES, SUCH AS SHIPPING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES, ARE AUTOMATICALLY BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD. BY BECOMING A BOTTAIA WINE CLUB MEMBER, YOU AUTHORIZE BOTTAIA WINERY TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD FOUR TIMES PER YEAR ON THE FIRST OF EVERY AUTOMATIC SHIPMENT MONTH (“BILLING DATE”) FOR THE RETAIL VALUE OF THE SHIPPED WINE (LESS THE MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT), PLUS TAX, AND ANY SHIPPING COSTS. (FEBRUARY, MAY, SEPTEMBER, AND DECEMBER). YOU FURTHER AUTHORIZE BOTTAIA WINERY TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD FOR ANY RE-SHIPMENTS OR SHIPMENTS FOR WINE NOT PICKED UP IN THE 60-DAY WILL CALL PERIOD AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 3.

5. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: THE BOTTAIA WINE CLUB MEMBERSHIP RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY IN FEBRUARY, MAY, SEPTEMBER, AND DECEMBER FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR (4) AUTOMATIC WINE SHIPMENTS (“AUTOMATIC SHIPMENT”) PER YEAR.

8. Damage During Shipment and Delays: If you are a shipping member, wine will be sent to you four times a year on the Automatic Shipment dates. There are no available returns or exchanges of shipped wines except as set forth herein.  

   Wine is a delicate and perishable commodity and conditions outside of BOTTAIA Winery’s control may adversely affect the wine during shipment. We will make our best effort to only ship during favorable weather conditions. Due to temperature restrictions, you may be billed 2-6 weeks in advance of the shipment date. If your wine is received in a damaged, spoiled, or otherwise defective state, you may contact us regarding the damage.  BOTTAIA Winery may, in its discretion, send a replacement in exchange, which is your sole and exclusive remedy for a damaged or defective product. BOTTAIA Winery will not refund shipping charges or additional shipping. Other charges will apply to deliveries that are returned as undelivered or refused.   

   In the event of circumstances outside the control of BOTTAIA Winery, which prevent, hinder, or delay BOTTAIA Winery from performing its obligations, including, but not limited to, acts of God, earthquake, flood, severe weather conditions or other natural calamity, strikes, insurrection or acts of terror, governmental action or inaction, including delays or failures to issue permits and authorizations or an inability to obtain supply and materials or other means of shipping, BOTTAIA Winery’s obligations will be suspended for the term of such event or BOTTAIA Winery may elect to cancel the Wine Club for the affected Members. 

9. BOTTAIA Winery’s Rights: BOTTAIA Wine Club Membership and its benefits are offered at BOTTAIA Winery’s discretion. BOTTAIA Winery reserves the right, without limitation, to terminate, change, limit, modify, or cancel any of these Terms and to cancel, suspend, or revoke any Membership to any Member at any time for any reason, without further obligation to BOTTAIA Wine Club members or others. BOTTAIA Winery may change or modify these Terms by posting the updated Terms at www.bottaiawinery.com/wine-club/terms-and-conditions. Your continued participation in the Wine Club after such posting constitutes your acceptance of the new or different Terms.

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE WINE CLUB, EACH MEMBER HEREBY RELEASES THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND OTHER EXPENSES RELATING TO THAT MEMBER’S PARTICIPATION IN THE WINE CLUB.

11. Individual Arbitration of Disputes; Jury Trial Waiver: Please read this section carefully because it requires you and BOTTAIA Winery to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration and limits certain rights you may have, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery, except as provided in JAMS, Inc.’s rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief.  

    I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION PROVISION:

    Member and BOTTAIA Winery agree that they will resolve any disputes through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings.  

    Pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association  in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to rule on any challenge to their own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate.  The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding.  The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitrator(s)’ power to rule on their own jurisdiction and the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate, the arbitrator(s) have no power to rule on the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis.  In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force.

12.  

    Choice of Law: BOTTAIA Wine Club and these Terms will be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict-of-law considerations, except where federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, apply. 

13. Venue: In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside and the Central District of California for such purposes. 

14. Attorneys’ Fees: In the event that any party institutes any legal suit, action, or proceeding, including arbitration, against the other party arising out of or relating to these Terms, the prevailing party in the suit, action, or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
