FAQ & General Terms
Here you’ll find our general terms and conditions, privacy policy, disclaimer, and delivery terms. We know legal text can be overwhelming, so we’ve also summarized the key points in an FAQ. Questions? Email us at contact@thechampagnefox.nl
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is your champagne authentic, and where does it come from? Yes. Every champagne we sell comes from the Champagne region in France, and we source them directly from independent producers. We also offer premium sparkling wines from other European regions. These are always labeled as sparkling wine, never as champagne, because we treat them as two distinct product categories.
How are the champagne bottles stored and shipped? Our stock is kept at our fulfillment partner, who maintains proper storage conditions and also packs and ships every order for us. Orders to the Netherlands and Belgium are delivered by PostNL, and orders to the rest of the EU are delivered by DPD.
What if my order is damaged or lost during transportation? We pack every order carefully, and all shipments are insured until they reach you. If your order arrives damaged or goes missing, email us at contact@thechampagnefox.nl and we'll find a suitable solution, either a replacement or a refund. If the parcel arrived damaged, don't forget to join pictures to your e-mail.
How much are shipping costs, and is there a free shipping threshold? Shipping costs depend on the destination country and are shown at checkout before you pay. Orders above €150 are delivered free of charge in the EU!
How long does delivery take, and can I track my order? Delivery takes 1 to 2 business days in the Benelux and 3 to 6 business days in the rest of the EU. Once your order has shipped, you'll receive a confirmation from The Champagne Fox, followed by a tracking number sent directly by the carrier (PostNL or DPD). Their emails sometimes end up in spam, so please check that folder if you don't see them.
How should I store at home the champagne I buy? Store your champagne at a stable temperature between 10 and 15°C, lying horizontally and away from light. Under these conditions, it keeps well for 1 to 2 years. If you can't store it this way, we recommend drinking it within a few months.

7.8 If delivery is delayed beyond the agreed or legally applicable period, the Customer may exercise the rights available under applicable law, including requiring delivery within an additional reasonable period or terminating the Agreement where legally permitted.
7.9 If a delivery cannot be completed because the Customer is unavailable, provides an incorrect address, refuses the legally required age verification or otherwise prevents delivery, additional delivery or return costs may be charged to the Customer to the extent permitted by law.

10.1 A Consumer generally has the right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without giving a reason.
10.2 For a sale of Products, the withdrawal period starts on the day on which the Consumer, or a third party designated by the Consumer other than the carrier, receives the Products.

10.5 The Consumer does not have to provide a reason for exercising the right of withdrawal.
10.6 The right of withdrawal does not apply where a statutory exception applies.
10.7 In particular, the specific statutory exception for alcoholic beverages only applies where the price was agreed at the time of conclusion of the contract, delivery can only take place after 30 days, and the actual value of the alcoholic beverage depends on fluctuations in the market that cannot be controlled by the trader.
10.8 The fact that a Product is an alcoholic beverage does not, by itself, exclude the statutory right of withdrawal.
11. Exercise of the right of withdrawal
11.1 If the Consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, the Consumer must return the Products without undue delay and in any event within 14 days after notifying The Champagne Fox of the withdrawal, unless The Champagne Fox has offered to collect the Products.
11.2 The Consumer is responsible for the direct cost of returning the Products unless The Champagne Fox has agreed to bear those costs or applicable law provides otherwise.

12.3 The Champagne Fox will make the reimbursement using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless the Consumer expressly agrees otherwise.
12.4 The Champagne Fox may withhold reimbursement until the returned Products have been received or the Consumer has provided evidence that the Products have been returned, whichever occurs first, unless applicable law provides otherwise.
12.5 Reimbursement will be made within the statutory period applicable to the withdrawal.
13. Statutory conformity and product complaints

14.1 Customers should inspect their order after delivery and notify The Champagne Fox of any apparent problem as soon as reasonably possible.

16.4 Nothing in these terms and conditions limits liability for damage resulting from intent or deliberate recklessness, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
16.5 Any contractual limitation of liability does not affect the statutory rights of Consumers concerning defective or non-conforming Products.
17. Force majeure
17.1 The Champagne Fox is not liable for a failure to perform an obligation where that failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control and for which it cannot reasonably be held responsible.
17.2 Force majeure may include, among other things, natural disasters, fire, war, civil unrest, government measures, strikes, interruptions to electricity or telecommunications, cyber incidents, significant transport disruptions, extreme weather conditions, failures of suppliers or logistics providers, and other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of The Champagne Fox.

3.6 Visitor statistics (Google Analytics 4)
With your consent ("Performance" category), we measure how the website is used: pages viewed, click paths, products viewed, orders.

Retention period: cookies up to 13 months, event data 14 months in Google Analytics.
Without your consent, we do not place any analytics cookies. Google tools may then receive signals without cookies or identifiers (Google Consent Mode, with advertising identifiers removed) in order to estimate general trends in aggregated form.
3.7 Advertising and campaign attribution (Google Ads, Meta)
With your consent ("Targeting / Marketing" category), we measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Google and Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and may show you relevant ads. For this purpose, we use click IDs (such as gclid and fbclid), our own attribution cookies a-track_* and the platforms' cookies. If you place an order or submit a form after giving your consent, your email address and telephone number may be passed on to Google and Meta in encrypted form (SHA-256 hash) in order to link the conversion to an ad (enhanced conversions, Conversions API). Legal basis: consent. Retention period: cookies 90 days (first-touch source: 365 days); data held by Google and Meta in accordance with their own rules.
Without your consent, nothing is stored on your device for advertising purposes. Campaign parameters in the web address (for example utm_source) may be read during the current visit, without being stored.

4. Our first-party measurement server
Measurement and advertising data passes through a server hosted on our behalf by Stape (Stape Europe OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia) on servers within the European Union. This server allows us to control what is passed on: masking of the IP address, removal of unnecessary parameters and application of your cookie choices before anything is sent to Google or Meta.
