Stuart is very sad about the great WEINHIER misunderstanding !
The first three days that WEINHIER was online were more than exciting. Firstly, we were amazed by how quickly a great deal of internal communication occured, secondly we were shocked by the controversy which our Terms & Coniditions (AGB in German) unleashed. It was 40 hours before I realized exactly what had happened. Since then the WEINHIER team has gone over the whole thing in detail and was shocked to discover that a major misunderstanding had occured regarding the rules on the free use of the site and advertising. All of this cost our legal advisor a very serious headache and made me feel very sad (as the picture above shows). Just to make everything crystal clear AT NO POINT DID WEINHIER HAVE ANY INTENTION OF OBTAINING FREE ADVERTISING ON YOUR HOMEPAGES!!! The thing which we failled to communicate was that while there is advertising on every page at WEINHIER, you can buy ad-free status. This optional service will be available from 1. August and will cost 99 Euros per year ink. tax for winegrowers and 19,90 Euros per year ink. tax for fans. All this payment does is compensate us for the loss of advertising income. Our Terms & Conditions will be changed very shortly. WE APPOLOGISE FOR THIS MISTAKE!
