Secure Payment

How do we guarantee security for the transfer of your account number?

Once your credit card number and its expiration date are entered in the right fields, they are automatically crypted. When we receive your order, we decrypt this information to process your order. Therefore, your credit card number remains confidential during all the transfer on Internet round.

The "Secured by Geotrust" button assures our customers that FINESTWINE.com has been authenticated by Geotrust and that confidential transactions with FINESTWINE.com are secured by SSL encryption. SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. This cryptage system is the most commonly used to protect data transfer between customer and server. Moreover it is compatible with the main Internet navigators. We accept Visa - Mastercard - American Express and 3D SECURE. For security purpose, you can send your credit card number and expiration date by phone : (+33 556 680 545) or fax (+33 556 680 977).

Your bank may charge you a fee up to 3% of the amount of the transaction, for payment made other than EUROS. Payment by SWIFT - WIRE (electronic payments) consists in wiring the amount directly from your bank to ours. Contact us to get our bank information. Please notify us as soon as you have sent the wire transfer so we can confirm reception of payment and process your order.

Your credit card is charged only after verifying that the item(s) is still available and after we have checked the quality of each bottle ordered. You will receive an automatic confirmation.
When you pay by credit card for products shipped from France, you will be charged in Euros and your bank will charge you for the currency exchange, this is why we encourage you to pay by wire transfer.
In case you did not give your credit card number on the order form, we would contact to know whether you would prefer doing it by e-mail, fax or phone. We shall only confirm your order once we get your credit card number information. If your number is not transmitted, your order will be cancelled within a few days.

Invoices can be drawn out in Euros or different money as it is indicated on FINESTWINE or by email. The value expressed in the currency chosen by the customer is updated everyday and based on the currency exchange rate on the date of the invoice. For payment by credit card we charge your credit card in Euros, there might be a difference between the total amount of the order and the amount charged on your account due to the difference of currency and the commission charged by your bank.

Items are only shipped to the customer after we receive the corresponding payment (by credit card or Bank Transfer - Swift). All delivered goods shipped from French territory remain the property of our business partners until full payment of the order, as stated in the French law 80-335, dated May 12, 1990.
