Terms & Conditions
Last Updated July 14, 2022
Welcome to sf.flatiron-wines.com. This is the website of Flatiron Wines SF, Inc., and is operated by Flatiron Wines SF, Inc., Flatiron Wines, Inc. and their affiliates (collectively "Seller," “We,” “Us” or “Our”).
By using this website (the “Site”) you agree to these terms and conditions.
These Terms and Conditions are subject to change at any time and from time to time at our discretion and without notice other than on this Site. You agree to revisit these Terms and Conditions to check for notices and agree you shall be deemed to have received notice of any revised terms posted here.
Legal Age
By using this Site you state, represent and warrant that you are 21 years of age or older. By placing an order for wine or spirits, you state, represent and warrant that you are 21 years of age or older and covenant that your order will be received by someone 21 years of age or older; you acknowledge that adult signatures are required for all deliveries of wine or spirits and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Flatiron Wines, Inc, Flatiron Wines SF, Inc, their affiliates, owners, officers, agents and employees for any and all losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, resulting from any breach of this provision.
Place of Sale
Title to, and ownership of, all wine passes from seller to buyer in the State in which the sale occurs, and you, as buyer, take all responsibility for the wine being transported from the state of sale to the buyer’s selected destination. By placing an order, you authorize Us to act on your behalf in arranging for transportation of the wine at your direction and represent and warrant that such sale and transportation are for your personal use and comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including of your selected destination. Alternatively, you may choose to pick up the wine at Our location, or make independent delivery arrangements. Sales tax will be applied based on the laws of the Our location. We make no representation as to the legal rights of anyone to deliver or import any wines, alcoholic beverages or other goods into any state. You are solely responsible for the transport of wine, spirits and other goods purchased and for determining the legality and the tax/duty (or any other fee) consequences of having the wine and other goods delivered to the applicable destination.
Flatiron’s Policy on Consumer Transportation of Purchase Requirements
Seller’s policy is to strictly observe all legal requirements on delivery that exist in California and in other states. Seller requires customers visiting their facilities in person or online, or who telephone, who buy wine and other items to either pick up their purchases at a licensed Seller facility, or to have their purchases delivered to themselves under such legal rights as may exist (and such rights change regularly – consumers are strongly advised to know the requirements that apply to them) for them to take delivery of wine in the state or area in which they live. This legally permitted method of doing business involves the following steps (1) title legally (in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code) transfers in the state of sale, where the goods are sold, (2) Seller files tax reports in accordance with state law in the state of sale, and (3) the bill of lading shows the customer (who directs the process of either picking up his or her wine or having it delivered in accordance with the customer’s legal rights) as the party directing the delivery. By placing an order and by directing seller to arrange shipment if the buyer’s selected destination is not in the state of sale, buyer covenants and agrees to remit any sales, use, gallonage taxes or any other amounts due of any kind for any applicable jurisdiction other than the state of sale.
Risk of loss, Damage, Breakage, Shipping and Insurance
Because title transfers to you upon sale and we are not responsible for any breakage or damage of your goods by any carrier we have arranged to ship on your behalf. At your request, insurance will be arranged for 1.5% of the value of your order.
Our Shipping terms are incorporated herein by reference. Your shipment of wine, whether to yourself or as a gift, can only be received by an adult 21 or older with valid government issued ID. Any delivery that can not be completed will incur additional charges for which you will be responsible including a fee for shipping the order back to us as well as additional fees for any further delivery attempts.
Applicable Law
You agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and Conditions and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Us, and that the Convention for the International Sales of Goods (CISG) shall not apply thereto.

Order Fulfillment/Pricing
No listing of wines by any Seller or on sf.Flatiron-wines.com constitutes an offer to sell; any order you place through sf.Flatiron-wines.com, by email or over the phone will need to be confirmed by Seller before Seller accepts your order.
Some of the wines we list are rare and extremely limited. We will endeavor to fulfill your order but if we are not able to do so our sole obligation and your sole recourse is a refund of the purchase price. Prices are subject to change without prior notice. No order is complete until paid for in full. We are not responsible for typographical errors or other inaccuracies or omissions and shall not be obliged to sell mis-priced goods or services; in the event of typographical error, your only remedy shall be to cancel your order for a refund.
Mandatory Arbitration of all disputes
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, the breach thereof, your use of our website, purchase of products or services from us, statutory rights or violations and any offers made or rescinded by us, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court (except that you may pursue any qualified claims in small claims court). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
This means, in the event of a dispute:
- DISPUTES WILL NOT BE RESOLVED IN COURT
- DISPUTES WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED TO A JUDGE OR JURY
- THERE WILL BE NO CLASS ACTIONS OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS
- YOU AND WE WILL ATTEMPT TO RESOVE ANY DISPUTE AMICABLY
- FAILING AMICABLE RESOLUTION, ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL, BINDING, NON-CLASS ARBITRATION
Informal Resolution
If you have a dispute and have not been able to come to a satisfactory resolution with our customer service staff, you must submit your dispute to senior management by sending written notice to:
Flatiron Wines, Inc.
929 Broadway
New York, NY 10010
Attention: Legal Department
Or
If you and we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, in a mutually satisfactory way, either you or we may choose to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its applicable rules and procedures for consumer disputes (“Rules”), whether such disputes arise in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise. US policy and the policies of many States, including California, New York, and New Jersey among others, favor settlement of disputes by arbitration rather than by use of courts.
The Rules can be obtained on the AAA website free of charge at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Dispute through arbitration, even if one of us has already initiated litigation in court related to the Dispute, by: (a) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party, (b) initiating arbitration against the other party, or (c) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.
You and We agree that any dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
Cancelled Orders
All sales, whether placed through this website, by telephone, or in-store are final. We may, at our sole discretion, permit you to cancel an order before it has shipped, in which case we will charge you a restocking fee of 15% of the purchase price.
