Cafe Rule, LLC (“Company”, “we” or “us”) maintains the website cafe rule.com, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through caferule.com (the “Website”). The following terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) govern your access to and use of the Website, whether as a guest or a registered user.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website, or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Website.
We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. Changes are effective immediately when we post them, but are not retroactive. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You must check this page frequently so that you are aware of any changes, and immediately discontinue access or use of the Website if you do not want to agree to the revised Terms of Use.
All information we collect on the Website is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Website, or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by our Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to our Privacy Policy, you must not provide us any personal information.
We offer a free membership to our wine club “Wine Rules” to users who register to become members of Wine Rules on our Website. Wine Rules is offered and available only to users who are at least 21 years old and who are residents of the United States. By registering as a member of Wine Rules, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not become a member of Wine Rules.
As a member of Wine Rules, you may purchase the wine listed on our Wine List in case quantities, for the prices specified on the Wine List. If you elect to participate at the Gold level by paying a one-time fee of $100, you will be entitled to purchase wine at a 15% discount from the listed prices so long as you remain a member. If you elect to participate at the Platinum level by paying a one-time fee of $250, you will be entitled to purchase wine at a 25% discount from the listed prices so long as you remain a member. You would pay for wine online at the time you place your order.
State law limits the maximum volume of wine that you may purchase in a single purchase unless you have your own purchase-transportation permit. Currently, state law would permit you to purchase and pick-up a maximum of eleven (11) 6-count cases of 750ml bottles of wine.
We would deliver all ordered wine to you at our restaurant, and notify you by email when the wine is available. We place orders with our distributor at the close of business each Monday, and pending orders placed before 4pm. on any Monday would generally be available for pickup after 4pm on the following Monday. You may purchase wine only for your personal use and consumption, and for consumption by members of your family and your household guests who are, in each case, at least 21 years of age. You may not purchase wine for resale to, or use or consumption by, any other person.
We must put certain procedures in place to comply with state law with respect to the sale of wine at a discount for off-premises consumption. Accordingly, when you register as a member of Wine Rules, you must provide us with your name, address, primary telephone number and email address. When you pick-up your first order, you must provide a valid Driver License, and we will record your Driver License number and data of birth, and issue you a membership card with your unique membership number. At your option, you may designate one other family member who is at least 21 years old to pick up wine on your behalf. You or your designated family member must then present your Membership Card and provide proof of identity each time that you or the designated family member picks-up ordered wine. The designated family member must also provide a valid Driver License the first time he or she picks-up wine, so that we can record his or her Driver License number and data of birth in our system.
We will periodically update or modify our Wine List, so you should check to be sure you have reviewed a current Wine List before ordering. If the ordered wine is listed by a specific name and vintage, the distributor may occasionally substitute a different vintage of that wine if the ordered vintage is no longer available. If the ordered wine is listed only by varietal and region, the distributor will select the specific wine and vintage. We are not responsible for any such selections of our distributor.
For a period of thirty days after your purchase of any bottle of wine, you may return that bottle of wine if it is bad at the time it is uncorked, and obtain a free replacement bottle of the same wine. You may not otherwise return any wine that you purchase.
