2 . Retail Sales
If you notice that you have received wrong or broken items, please notify us within 24 hours of receiving the goods either by telephone or email and we will arrange for a replacement or full refund.
Bidvino offers a 7-day return policy on some products that are proven to be faulty. Any faulty wine needs to be returned to us with a minimum of 80% of the original contents, together with the original seal (cork, screwcap, or other) within 7 days of purchase.
Bidvino’ staff will then assess the wine to determine whether the wine is faulty. In determining whether a wine is faulty, staff will consider whether the wine has been affected by TCA (“corked”) or is unexpectedly oxidized.
Bottle variation does not constitute a wine fault. Where Bidvino determines that a wine is faulty, Bidvino will offer a replacement where possible or a full refund.
If the wine is determined to be in acceptable condition, not faulty, then Bidvino will charge a 10% restocking fee, a $100 pickup fee (if applicable), and 5% fee for credit card refund costs.
Wines older than 10 years old may not be returned or exchanged i.e. Wines from the year 2016 and older will not be accepted for return or exchange in year 2026.
Bidvino cellars wines which represent excellent condition examples of the wines in question in terms of their fill levels, labels and physical appearance. Bidvino accepts no responsibility for a wine being unpleasant or undrinkable where it is considered possible that the wine is beyond its peak drinking window.
Stock photos of wine and products provided by wineries/manufacturers are usually displayed with the majority of our product listings. These images generally represent the product being sold, but may not account for various changes i.e. change of packaging design or minor imperfections.
Buyer accepts all purchases on an ‘as is’ basis. Notwithstanding any other terms of these Terms & Conditions, should Bidvino receive any written claims within 7 calendar days in case of a delivery received with a shortage, or otherwise out of condition, or that any statement in the web site is without basis, then Bidvino will judge such claims through inspection of the products, investigation of its own or by any other just means as it determines. The final decision of an exchange or refund is at the sole discretion of Bidvino Hong Kong Limited.
The wine industry estimates that between 3 and 7 percent of all wines sealed with natural corks are ruined because of a natural fungus in corkwood that produces the chemical compound trichloroanisole, or TCA within the cork. TCA has a distinctive odour resembling mouldy newspaper or damp basement. In almost all cases of ‘corked’ wine, the aroma of the wine is reduced significantly, and a heavily tainted wine is completely undrinkable. Since all of our wine is consigned, and much of it very rare, we cannot replace wines that have been ruined because of cork taint. We do not accept returns of corked wine nor do we refund payments for corked wine.
Duties, Taxes and Customs Charges
In case of international shipping, the Buyer is responsible for all administrative duties, taxes and customs charges incurred in shipping purchases from Hong Kong to the Buyer's desired shipping address.
Right to Claim Lien over Buyer Wines
Bidvino reserves the right to claim a lien for all lawful charges for storage of Buyer’s purchased wine, as well as interest, insurance, transportation, labour, and other charges and expenses in relation to such goods. Bidvino also reserves the right to exercise its lien rights under the terms of any applicable law and/or agreement between Buyer and Bidvino, including without limitation under these Terms of Service.
At any time after purchase, Bidvino may, upon written notice to Buyer and any other person known to claim an interest in such goods, require the removal of any purchased wines from Bidvino’s facility, upon payment of all charges attributable to such goods, within a stated period and not less than 30 days after such notice.
If Buyer does not timely comply with Bidvino’s request, Bidvino may sell Buyer’s purchased wine in accordance with applicable law and shall be entitled to exercise all other rights it has under the law with respect to such goods. Provided, however, if Bidvino believes, in good faith, that the purchased wines are about to deteriorate or decline in value to less than the amount of Bidvino’s lien in a shorter period than 30 days, Bidvino may specify in the notification any reasonable time, less than 30 days after such notice, for removal of the purchased wines and in case such wines are not removed, may sell them at public sale held one week after a single advertisement or posting as provided by law.
Bidvino may satisfy its lien from the proceeds of any sale or disposition as permitted by applicable law.

Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)
You and Bidvino each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not parties to these Terms & Conditions, whether related to these Terms & Conditions or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes, and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (‘HKIAC’) under its rules and procedures in effect, as modified by these Terms & Conditions (as permitted under such rules and procedures), when the claim is filed and the arbitration shall occur in Hong Kong.
The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from HKIAC 's website (www.hkiac.org) and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on HKIAC's site at http://www.hkiac.org. In addition to filing this form with HKIAC in accordance with its rules and procedures, you must send a copy of the completed form to us at the following address to initiate arbitration proceedings: Bidvino, 3/F, 46 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, Hong Kong. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Bidvino may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Bidvino. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by either of us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Further, each party agrees that any arbitration will be solely between Bidvino and the user of the Bidvino, not as part of a class action claim (i.e., not brought on behalf of or together with another individual's claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the class action dispute must be brought in court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims tribunal in Hong Kong.

RETURN POLICY
If you notice that you have received wrong or broken items, please notify us within 24 hours of receiving the goods either by telephone or email and we will arrange for a pick up, replacement or full refund. Any refunds outside of our below policy will be subject to both a 10% restocking fee (once inventory is verified on return), and 5% credit card charge where applicable.
Bidvino offers a 7-day return policy on some products that are proven to be faulty. Any faulty wine needs to be returned to us with a minimum of 80% of the original contents, together with the original seal (cork, screwcap, or other) within 7 days of purchase. Bidvino's staff will then assess the wine to determine whether the wine is faulty. In determining whether a wine is faulty, staff will consider whether the wine has been affected by TCA (“corked”) or is unexpectedly oxidized. Bottle variation does not constitute a wine fault. Some wines may need to be returned to the original supplier/winery for further chemical analysis and/or testing. Where Bidvino determines that a wine is faulty, Bidvino will offer a replacement where possible or a full refund. If the wine is determined to be in acceptable condition, not faulty, it will be returned to you and you will be invoiced for the processing and freight costs associated with the return.
Some of Bidvino’s products are old or rare wines. In some cases, these wines can be past their peak drinking window and may be either unpleasant or undrinkable. Bidvino cellars wines which represent excellent condition examples of the wines in question in terms of their fill levels, labels and physical appearance. Bidvino accepts no responsibility for a wine being unpleasant or undrinkable where it is considered possible that the wine is beyond its peak drinking window.
