4. Trade Account Requests
Submitting a Trade Account request:

JMP Wines may accept, reject, delay, or request further information regarding a trade-account application at its discretion, subject to applicable law.
Any approved trade account may be subject to separate agreements, onboarding documents, policies, pricing, payment requirements, and regulatory verification.
5. Reorder Requests
The Reorder form is provided for existing JMP Wines customers to communicate requested products and quantities.
Submitting a reorder request does not confirm an order or delivery date. A member of the JMP Wines team will contact you to confirm availability, pricing, account status, and delivery.
A reorder becomes effective only after JMP Wines separately confirms it.
JMP Wines may modify, reject, or request clarification regarding a submission because of:
- Product availability
- Vintage changes
- Account status
- Pricing

Product images and descriptions are for identification and general informational purposes only.
7. Pricing and Availability
Current trade pricing and availability are communicated privately to approved or prospective trade customers.
The absence of a "sold out" notice does not mean a product is available.
The appearance of a product on the website does not reserve inventory or guarantee that JMP Wines can supply it.
All pricing, taxes, fees, terms, and availability are subject to separate confirmation.

Delivery is coordinated directly with approved customers and is not automatically scheduled through the public website.
The website does not establish:
