2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU.
a. Our Goods are age restricted. By placing an Order for the Goods, you are declaring that you are 18 years of age or over.
b. You can check and amend any errors before submitting your Order. Please take the time to read and check your Order at each page of the Order process.
c. When you submit an Order, your Order represents an offer to us to purchase the Goods. This does not mean that your Order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your Order will take place as described in clause 2(d).
d. If we accept your Order, we will confirm our acceptance by sending you an e-mail (Order Confirmation). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation. Any Goods forming part of the same Order which we have not confirmed in the Order Confirmation do not form part of that contract.
e. All Goods shown on our Website are subject to availability. If we are unable to supply you with the Goods (for example, because the Goods are no longer in stock), we will let you know by telephone or by e-mail and we will cancel your Order. If you have already paid for the Goods, we will refund you the full amount within 5 Working Days of cancellation (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 17).
f. In some instances, a non-manufacturer strap may be fitted to a watch.
g. On occasion the Goods displayed for sale on our Website will not be available for dispatch until Work has been completed (for example, the Goods may be with a manufacturer undergoing a service or awaiting parts at the time your Order is made). We will let you know prior to acceptance of any Order if this applies to your Order. We endeavour to complete the Work within a reasonable period of time and meet any anticipated completion dates where given. However, due to our reliance on third parties, it is difficult for us to give accurate estimated dates for completion of the Work and Work could in exceptional circumstances take up to 2 months from acceptance of your Order to complete. You can cancel your Order at any time before dispatch of the Goods – see clause 12 which explains your rights to cancel your contract with us.
h. All Goods will remain available for sale on our website until you have paid the balance in full, irrespective of any third party finance application made by you.
i. The images of the Goods on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer’s display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Goods. Your Goods may vary slightly from those images.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
Please be aware that all currency values in the Terms and Conditions are in GBP and are therefore subject to the current exchange rate at the time of transaction. This does not affect your Consumer Rights.
a. The price of the Goods will be set out in your Order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that we have confirmed with you.

We will normally check prices before we dispatch the Goods so that where the Goods’ correct price is less than the price stated on our Website or in your Order, we will charge the lower amount. If the Goods’ correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website or in your Order, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of either continuing with your Order for the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your Order. We will not process your Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you and you do not respond to our e-mail in relation to the pricing error within 5 Working Days, we will treat the Order as cancelled, notify you by e-mail and refund any sums already paid within 14 days of the date your Order is cancelled (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 17).

You will be advised of the part exchange allowance we attribute to your watch before your Order is confirmed. Where your part exchange allowance exceeds the purchase price of the Goods, we will issue you with the appropriate credit by bank transfer. Where your part exchange allowance is less than the purchase price of the Goods, you can pay the outstanding balance using another method listed above. Our Sell Your Watch terms and conditions also apply; or
l. Finance options: We have a commercial relationship with a credit provider offering various finance options. We and/or our credit provider can refuse finance applications at our sole discretion.

If we agree that you can pay by way of an initial deposit and if after paying the initial deposit for the Goods we do not receive the balance payment in full and cleared funds within 14 days of our receipt of the deposit payment from you, then we reserve the right to cancel your Order and relist the Goods for sale on our Website.

4. DELIVERY
a. All Orders placed before 14:00 Monday to Friday will receive next day delivery. This is available Mainland UK only subject to confirmation contact from our Dispatch Team. If you are based outside of Mainland UK, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date. All dates quoted by us for dispatch and delivery of the Goods outside of Mainland UK, though given in good faith, are estimates only and in exceptional circumstances delivery may take up to 2 months from acceptance of your order. Occasionally our delivery may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. Please see clause 15 for our responsibilities when this happens.
b. We cannot deliver the Goods to the following countries (the ‘Excluded Countries’): Afghanistan; Angola; Cuba; Ethiopia; Iran; Iraq; Lebanon; Liberia; Libya; Myanmar; Nicaragua; Nigeria; North Korea; Rwanda; Sierra Leone; Somalia; Sudan; Syria; Uganda; Zimbabwe; and countries comprised by the former territories of USSR or the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and/or the Republic of Serbia. If you would like the Goods to be delivered to any of the Excluded Countries, we will use reasonable endeavours to arrange postage and insurance (at your cost) in advance of confirmation of your Order. Please contact a member of our Sales Team to discuss your options before placing an Order, or alternatively contact our Customer Services team by telephone or by e-mail ([email protected]).
c. Delivery charges will be shown in the Order Summary page of our Website and otherwise notified to you by a member of our Sales Team before you place your Order if you are based outside of Mainland UK. Any Orders placed in which the delivery address is based within Mainland UK will be dispatched using a next day delivery service free of charge.
d. Deliveries within the UK are made using the Royal Mail’s Special Delivery™ service. Deliveries outside the UK are made using either DHL or Fedex. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions.
e. A signature is needed for receipt of the Goods by an adult (aged 18 years or over) at the delivery address (whether yourself or a member of your household). If no-one is available when the carrier attempts delivery, the carrier may leave a calling card for you to re-arrange delivery at a more convenient time. Alternatively, you may need to collect the Goods from your local delivery office provided you can produce adequate proof of identity. Any parcel that has been damaged or tampered with should not be signed for and delivery should be refused.
f. We will deliver the Goods to the delivery address given in your Order. If you pay by debit or credit card, the Goods must be dispatched to the billing address of the card holder, though we will use reasonable endeavours to send the Goods to a work address where requested provided you comply with our dispatch department’s reasonable instructions. If you purchase the Goods using one of our finance options, we will only deliver the Goods to the address given in the finance agreement (as an anti-fraud measure).
g. Goods may be collected from our offices but by appointment only for security reasons. A weekend appointment must be confirmed by 5 pm on the previous Working Day. You acknowledge that we will not be liable for losses you incur including travel costs if you travel without making an appointment in advance.
h. Delivery of the Goods will be completed when we deliver the Goods to the address given in your Order or when the Goods are collected from our offices (by you or your representative).
i. If you arrange for another courier to collect the Goods, delivery will be completed when the Goods are collected from our offices. This means that we will not be responsible if the Goods are lost or damaged in the course of transit.
j. The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.
k. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.

5. CUSTOMS

The prices offered on our website are quoted including tax but you may still have to pay any necessary customs, import fees, and taxes when your item arrives, depending on your location. These import charges are generally based on the item’s price, weight, dimensions, and country of origin, as well as any taxes, duties, and fees added by your country.

Any of these additional charges must be borne by you. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. If you are unsure about whether these charges might apply to your Order, you should contact your local tax or customs office for further information.

6. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY
a. Some of the Goods we sell come with a manufacturer’s warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the Paperwork provided with the Goods or to the manufacturer’s website.
b. As a consumer, a manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to your legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens’ Advice Consumer Service.

7. WATCHES WORLD WARRANTY
a. We provide either a full or limited warranty with our pre-owned Goods for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery in accordance with our Warranty terms and conditions. Please take the time to read and understand these terms. Our warranty doesn’t apply to new Goods which are typically covered by a third party manufacturer’s warranty.
b. As a consumer, the warranty we provide is in addition to your legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from the local Citizens’ Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk).

8. WATER RESISTANCE
a. Where your Order for Goods includes a wrist watch (‘Watch’), you should be aware that water resistant Watches are not water proof. For example, Watches advertised as water resistant to 30 metres (100 feet/3 ATM) can only withstand splashes. All Watches sold by us are subject to our categorisation as detailed in the glossary available on our Website.
b. All our Watches are tested prior to sale to ensure that the advertised water resistance is accurate. You acknowledge and accept that we will not replace seals and/or gaskets or other parts if the Watch passes our tests before dispatch.
c. Waterproofing (or “water resistance”), are described either in meters, or in bars (1 bar = 10 m = approx. 33 ft). It is important to note that the indication of the degree of water resistance in meters is a technical norm which does not correspond to an exact depth. “Water-resistant to 10m” does not mean that the watch can be worn to this depth, rather it indicates that the watch will resist pressure equivalent to a static immersion up to 10m deep. The wearer’s movements (diving, jumping, swimming, etc) as well as the force of the water (shower jets, river currents, waterfalls, etc) can considerably increase the pressure.
d. Where your watch is certified as Water Resistant its water-resistance is ensured by a series of seals. Before any contact with water, it is essential to ensure that the crown and pushers of your watch are pushed in or screwed down, depending on model. When your watch is under water, do not activate the push-pieces for the chronograph function, the minute-repeater or the second time zone. After swimming, make sure to rinse your water-resistant watch in fresh water so as to neutralise the potentially corrosive effects of sea-water or chlorine. The water-resistance seals of your certified Water Resistant watch undergo natural deterioration due to ageing. It is therefore recommended that you have a regular water-resistance check performed once every year if your watch is worn during sporting activities or frequently comes into contact with water, or once every two years when worn in normal conditions. Never try and open the case yourself. In the event of water or condensation appearing under the glass, take the watch as quickly as possible to an authorized maintenance centre to prevent further damage.

9. BRACELETS SIZES
Given the nature of our Goods, bracelet sizes may vary as they are not always supplied to us with a full accompaniment of links. A bracelet size will be requested from you before your order is dispatched or taken from a part exchange and we will endeavor to size the watch to the requested size. Where a watch is advertised as having seals intact the bracelet will not be adjusted. Where the size exceeds our standard size, links will be supplied at your cost or at our discretion. If no bracelet size is given any additional links will be chargeable.

10. PAPERWORK DATE
a. If the Goods are sold with Paperwork, the age of the Goods is calculated from the date given on the Paperwork, which is when the Paperwork is officially stamped by the authorized dealer (‘Age’). You acknowledge that the date of manufacture may be significantly earlier than the Paperwork date.
b. If the Goods are sold without Paperwork, it can be difficult for us to calculate the Age of the Goods, particularly for vintage Goods. While the Age has been given in good faith (calculated by reference to the serial number if reasonably practicable, owner information or other indicators), you acknowledge that the Age of the Goods listed on the Website is an estimate only.
c. If the Goods are sold without Paperwork, no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by us in relation to the accuracy of the Age of the Goods.

11. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
a. Subject to clause 12(b), you have a legal right to cancel your Order during the period set out in clause 12(c) and receive a full refund.
b. Purchases made in store can be exchanged but not refunded when returned within 14 days of purchase in unused condition. If no exchange can be made on the day a credit note will be issued for the original purchase price. Please refer to clause 12 (m) This does not affect your usual consumer rights.
c. You may cancel your Order for the Goods without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day after the Goods are delivered to you or your nominated recipient. If your Order consists of multiple Goods this period will end the day after the last of the Goods are delivered.
d. To exercise the right to cancel you must inform us, please either e-mail the sales advisor that dealt with your Order or e-mail our Customer Services team ([email protected]). If you cancel your Order we will reimburse you in full.
f. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods as the result of any unnecessary handling by you. You must take reasonable care of the Goods and you must return the Goods (including Paperwork, links, user manual, service papers and box as applicable). The Goods must be in their original condition.
g. You acknowledge that the Paperwork (where supplied) substantially increases the value of the Goods and that its absence or damage will affect the value of the Goods. If you return the Goods with missing or damaged Paperwork, we will make a reasonable deduction to the sum refunded to you not exceeding 25% of the purchase price.
h. Returned Goods will be inspected by our servicing team and you will incur a charge for any Work necessary if the returned Goods are found to be damaged or otherwise compromised from you handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods.
i. Return postage, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility and at your cost and you must follow our reasonable instructions. We recommend you use a tracked mail system and retain proof of postage. You must insure the Goods to their full value. You must ensure that you pack the Goods appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
j. If Goods are returned to you following a refused sale, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility. Watchesworld relinquishes all responsibility for the safe delivery of Goods in this instance.

l. If you comply with the terms of this clause 12, you will be refunded in full within 14 days of the date we receive the returned Goods or from when we receive proof that you have sent the goods back to us, whichever is the earliest. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees because of the reimbursement.
m. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens’ Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk. Nothing in our Terms will affect your legal rights.
n. When a credit note is issued, it is valid for an unlimited time and may be used against any item that we have in stock. If for any valid reason, you choose to return an item purchased with a credit note, another credit note will be issued. When selecting your purchase:If your credit note exceeds the purchase price of the stock item, no change will be given for the unused portion of the credit note. If you have a valid reason to return this item, another credit note will be issued to the value of the original credit note.Where your credit note is less than the purchase price of the stock item, you must pay the outstanding payment balance. If you have a valid reason to return this item, another credit note will be issued for the original credit note amount and only the outstanding payment balance will be refunded back in the way it was originally paid.It is important to keep your original credit note safe as copies will not be accepted. The credit note must be presented prior to the point of purchase for the stock item to be collected or shipped.

2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
a. If you would like to sell your watch to us you will need to provide us with details of your watch, including its model, make and condition, by either entering details on the “Sell Your Watch” page on our website or by navigating through our catalogue on the “Sell Your Watch” page to find the watch you wish to sell.
b. Please provide information about your watch fully and accurately. Any quotation, whilst given in good faith, is derived from a combination of factors including without limitation the information supplied by you. The provision of inaccurate, false or misleading information by you may result in an inaccurate valuation which cannot be relied upon by you.
c. You will then receive either an e-mail with an initial valuation.
d. Any valuations are provided on a “subject to contract” basis and are not legally binding. We reserve the right to amend or withdraw the valuation at any time without liability to you.
e. If you are happy with the initial valuation, then you will need to arrange for the watch to be posted to our offices in accordance with the clause governing “Delivery” below.
f. On receipt of your watch at our offices, the purchase of your watch is subject to due diligence checks which may include a search through The Watch Register (a subsidiary of the Art Loss Register) and also to an inspection. Please note: should your watch match an item on The Watch Register’s database of stolen watches then Watchesworld will be legally bound to secure the watch and, where necessary, inform law enforcement. In this event, no payment will be made and you will be required to contact The Watch Register directly to resolve the issue. The Watch Register will offer its assistance in negotiating an amicable settlement with any good faith holders. As soon as a clear check result is received, an inspection of your watch and any accompanying paperwork will then be carried out. We will then contact you with a final valuation for your watch. Notwithstanding any such inspection or testing, you shall remain fully responsible for the items, and any inspection or testing shall not reduce or otherwise affect your obligations under the contract, including without limitation those listed under “Your Undertakings” below.
g. A revised valuation may be offered where: (i) the watch does not fully comply with the information provided during the valuation process; (ii) the condition is such that it has a substantial impact on the value of the watch; (iii) other relevant factors not disclosed affect the valuation; and/or (iv) for any other reason.
h. If you wish to proceed with a sale and accept our final valuation, we will arrange to pay you the agreed sum by bank transfer (see “Payment” below). The contract between us will only be formed when you have accepted the final price quoted and the sum has been paid. We will then send you an e-mail confirming when payment has been made, the sum paid and the payment method.
i. You may purchase a watch from us in part-exchange of your current watch. The sale of your existing watch to us and your purchase of a watch from us shall be treated as separate contracts with the relevant terms and conditions applicable to each. In terms of the watch that you are selling to us in part-exchange, you are subject to these “Sell Your Watch” terms and conditions. In terms of the watch that you purchase from us, you are subject to our “Buy a Watch” terms and conditions. The contract between us under these terms and conditions will only be formed when you have accepted the final price quoted. For further information, please see “Part-Exchanges” below.
j. Please note that if you visit the showroom in order to sell your watch, we will need you to produce two forms of original identification. For further information, please see “Identification” below. If you sell in person, we will provide you with a quotation and, if this is accepted by you, the contract will be formed on your signature of our standard receipt.
k. You can keep track of the process by logging into your Watchesworld account. We will also keep you regularly updated by e-mail.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
a. The prices quoted by us and all payments made by us will be in Pounds Sterling. The price quoted will be net; please see the VAT margin scheme for further details. If you need to refund any sum to us, this will also be in Pounds Sterling. You will be responsible for the exchange rate and you are advised that refunds may be affected by such exchange rate.
b. We will make payment to the bank account advised by you. Please note that you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your bank account details. We will not accept liability if you provide us with inaccurate bank details.
c. Payment will be made by Banks Automated Clearance System (BACS) transfer and cleared funds may take approximately 7 Working Days to arrive after payment has become due. No liability is accepted by us for any delay which is unavoidable in the circumstances. We reserve the right to pay by any other payment method when and where reasonable. All bank details must be entered by you and you are responsible for the accuracy of these details.
d. Payment to a nominated third party will generally be unacceptable. International sellers may be subject to an additional bank charge.
e. In the event that we discover that the watch is counterfeit, lost, stolen or damaged or is not fully owned by you or any other undertaking provided by you under “Your Undertakings” is breached, we have the option without prejudice to any other rights and remedies we may have to rescind the contract(s) and, if we choose to exercise this right, we will notify you by telephone and/or by e-mail as soon as possible upon discovery by us. In this case, payment will not fall due. If we have already made payment, you must refund us the full purchase price paid within 7 days of receipt of notice from us. If the sale involved a part-exchange, please see “Part-Exchanges” below.
f. Any outstanding monies owed to us, including without limitation any servicing costs agreed between us, will be deducted from any payment to you.
g. The price quoted excludes import duty or other taxes, fees and charges (see “Customs” below).
h. You will pay all amounts due under these terms and conditions in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you will not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. We may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies we may have, set off any amount owing to us by you against any amount payable by us to you.
i. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we provide you with an incorrect valuation. If for some reason an error in the valuation quoted has occurred, we will rectify the valuation as soon as reasonably practicable after notification of the mistake. If the valuation error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to buy the items from you at the incorrect price. No liability whatsoever can be accepted by us for accidental mistakes or errors caused by system failures.

4. DELIVERY
a. You will deliver the items:
b. during our normal business hours or as instructed by us.
c. Carriage, packing, insurance and any taxes or charges applicable shall be your responsibility and at your cost unless agreed otherwise (also see “Customs” below).
d. You will ensure that the items are properly packed and secured in such manner as to enable the items to withstand the normal rigours of transit and reach the Delivery Location in good condition.
e. Once you have accepted our initial valuation for your item, a delivery note will be generated by us and you will be e-mailed a link to access and print this note. All items posted to us should be accompanied by a delivery note. If your item is not accompanied by our delivery note, there could be a delay in processing your item on arrival at the Delivery Location.
f. You must deliver the items to the Delivery Location at your own risk. We suggest that you obtain proof of posting. If you decide not to proceed with a sale for any valid reason, you will be responsible for the postage, packaging and insurance costs of returning the items to you unless we are returning the watch to you as a result of a breach of an undertaking under “Your Undertakings” (we will return counterfeit items free of charge using the regular post if you are based in the UK, but will make a charge of approximately £20.00 if instructed by you to return your item using the Royal Mail Special DeliveryTM service to addresses in the UK. If you are based outside of the UK, a courier will be selected at our discretion and postage costs will be payable by you.)
g. Delivery of the items will be completed on the completion of unloading the items at the Delivery Location.
h. Once at the Delivery Location, we will confirm receipt of your watch and it will be inspected. This will usually take no more than 48 hours.

Risk and title
i. Your watch will be our responsibility from the time of delivery to the Delivery Location.
ii. Ownership of the watch will pass from you to us when the contract is concluded between us as described above under “Our Contract With You”.

5. CUSTOMS
If you are based outside of the UK, you may also have to pay export duty or other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs or other authorities. You must comply with all laws and regulations of your country. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. If you are unsure about whether these charges might apply to your order, you should contact your local tax or customs office for further information.

6. THE ITEMS
You will ensure that the items will:
a. correspond with their description;
b. be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Consumer Rights Act 2015) and as described (within the meaning of the Consumer Rights Act 2015) and fit for any purpose held out by you or made known to you by us expressly or by implication, and in this respect we rely on your skill and judgement; and

g. you accept that every element in the description of the watch, including its make, model and serial number, is a material and essential part of its identity and that the absence or non-fulfilment of any such element renders the watch in the perception of us and you radically and fundamentally different from the watch that you have agreed to supply; and
h. the serial numbers and documentation are original, genuine and accurate.
You are fully responsible for any breach of the preceding conditions and remain so until discovery of such breach by us.

8. REMEDIES
a. If the items do not comply with clause 6 (The Items) and the undertakings set out in clause 7 (Your Undertakings), then, without limiting any of our other rights or remedies, we will have the right to any one or more of the following remedies, whether or not we have accepted the items:

c. In the event that we discover that the watch you are selling us in part-exchange is counterfeit, lost, stolen or damaged or is not fully owned by you or any other undertaking provided by you under “Your Undertakings” is breached, we have the option to rescind either or both contracts and, if we choose to exercise this right, we will notify you by telephone and/or by e-mail as soon as possible upon discovery by us. In this case, you must refund us all sums paid by us to you within 7 days of receipt of notice from us. If we have already dispatched the watch you sought to purchase from us, you will further need to either return this watch to us or pay us the full purchase price for this watch.
d. Where your part exchange allowance exceeds the purchase price of the watch you are agreeing to buy, we will issue you with the appropriate credit by bank transfer, subject to our usual terms and conditions relating to payments. Where your part exchange allowance is less than the purchase price of the watch you are agreeing to buy, you will need to pay the outstanding balance by bank transfer or such other method as agreed by both parties.

b.

26. OUR DETAILS
“Watches World” is a trading name of Watchesworld.com Limited.
If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms and conditions will affect your statutory rights.
BUY BACK GUARANTEE
Your watch may be accompanied by our buy back guarantee (if advised accordingly), which means that we guarantee to purchase your watch from you for a sum of at least the value stated in your buy back letter (the “Offered Price”) on or after two years following your purchase of the watch from us, subject to the following terms and conditions.
The buy back guarantee is subject to us inspecting your watch and your watch being returned us in good and saleable condition with all associated boxes, paperwork, link(s) and all other components (where applicable). Any devaluation as a result of a missing box, paperwork, link(s) and/or components will lead to a deduction from the Offered Price. Any servicing or refurbishment work deemed as necessary by us will be deducted from the Offered Price. In particular, we may make deductions from the Offered Price for wear of the watch strap, glass, clasp and other cosmetic damage, as well as normal wear-and-tear and damage caused to your watch by accidents, mishandling, mistreatment or negligence.
If you’ve been provided a “Part Exchange Only” buy back guarantee, the amount paid will be offered only as credit against another stock item. You will not be paid in any other form, including without limitation by cash, cheque or bank transfer. Where the Offered Price is more than the purchase price of the watch you wish to purchase from us, we will not issue you any change. Where the Offered Price is less than the purchase price of the watch you wish to purchase from us, you must pay us the outstanding balance. The transaction will be subject to our usual ‘Buy A Watch’ and ‘Part-Exchange’ (please see ‘Sell Your Watch’) terms and conditions, as amended from time to time. If an order is cancelled, a credit note will be issued or your watch returned to you if not sold, at our discretion. Any subsequent purchases may not benefit from the buy back guarantee. Please see ‘Buy a Watch’ clause 12(m) for when a credit note is used.
In order to maintain your buy back guarantee, you will need to return your watch to us at least once every 2 years from and including the date of purchase so that we may carry out a health check on your watch (date of purchase means the date that we receive full and cleared funds for the purchase price of your watch; this is the date we receive the final balance payment where you pay by installments, unless you enter a finance agreement*). For example, if we receive your final payment on 05 February 2012, you will need to return your watch to us so that we receive it by 04 February 2014 and then subsequently at two-yearly intervals i.e. by 04 February 2016, 04 February 2018 etc.) Please note that for the purposes of your free health check, the earliest date on which we will accept your watch is 1 calendar month prior to the relevant due date (so, in the example above for the first health check, 04 January 2014). We will endeavour to send you reminders prior to each health check due date, though are under no obligation to do so.
The buy back guarantee will be invalidated in the event that a third party carries out any tests or work on your watch (including, without limitation, dismantling your watch to carry out an inspection) without our prior knowledge and consent.
The use of aftermarket components can severely compromise the technical performance, reliability and waterproofness of your watch. Any modification of your watch by the addition or substitution of components by aftermarket products that have not been provided by the manufacturer will invalidate the buy back guarantee.
If your health check reveals any issue with your watch that is covered by our warranty (please see our full warranty terms and conditions), then we will notify you accordingly and, on your instruction, carry out our recommended works free of charge. We will not be liable for the costs of any service and/or repair work revealed as necessary following the health check carried out by us if such work is not covered by the terms of our warranty.
Please note that you must securely deliver the watch to our appropriate service centre as advised and with adequate insurance, whether for the health check or to return your watch under the buyback scheme or for any other reason, which shall be your responsibility and at your cost unless stated otherwise. If you are based in the UK and you have returned your watch to us for the free health check, we will not make a charge for the postage and packaging costs of returning the watch to you. We will charge for postage and packaging and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for returning your watch to you if you are based outside of the UK.
Your buy back guarantee is personal to you and is non-transferable. The terms of this Buy Back Guarantee are in addition to your legal rights. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens’
* Where you enter into a finance agreement, the date of purchase means the date we receive the first balance payment in full and cleared funds from the finance company. You must have paid for the watch in full by the buy back date (2 years after purchase) in order for the guarantee to operate.
CARE PACKAGE
One free health check within the Watches World warranty period, during which Watches World will inspect your watch and use its reasonable endeavors to diagnose any issues with your watch. The watch must be delivered by the member to premises designated by Watches World in the usual way. The watch is your responsibility until it reaches our office. Please ensure you package your watch to prevent any damage to the item. We recommend you obtain proof of posting. All deliveries and insurance costs of the watch while in transit are at the customer’s expense. Watches World shall not be liable for the repair of any watch which is revealed as required as a result of Watches World carrying out the health check.
One free watch refurbishment within the warranty period for a standard, steel polish, up to and including the value of £50.00. We reserve the right to refuse to refurbish a watch if our servicing technicians are of the view that a refurbishment could prove detrimental to or damage the watch. For this reason, we may refuse to refurbish white gold watches at our discretion.
You benefit from a two year warranty, which is otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as our standard 12 month warranty. Please see “Warranty” terms and conditions for full details.
WARRANTY
Our pre-owned watches are accompanied either by our Full or Limited 12 month warranty (the “Warranty”) from the day you receive your watch, protecting your watch against manufacturing and mechanical defects, subject to the following terms and conditions. Our Warranty does not include new watches that remain under cover of the Manufacturers warranty.
If your watch is protected by a Limited Warranty, given its age, we do not guarantee that your watch will keep typical expected tolerances for timekeeping, and it is no longer suitable for use in wet environments or submersion in water.
Your Warranty will be registered to your current postal address. To ensure your Warranty remains valid, please make sure that you inform us of any changes to your contact details without delay, including your full name, postal address, email address and telephone number. If the goods are being purchased with the intention of being a gift, we would require the contact details of the intended recipient.
The Warranty does not cover theft or loss of your watch, normal wear-and-tear, damage caused to your watch by accidents, mishandling, mistreatment or negligence (including, without limitation, damage caused by failure to follow manufacturer and/or our instructions). In particular, wear of the watch strap, glass, clasp and cosmetic damage are not covered by our Warranty. If your watch is covered by our Limited Warranty, deviations in time-keeping or damage caused to your watch by water ingress are not covered by our Warranty.
If your watch is returned to us due to a valid claim against our Warranty whilst it is still protected by the manufacturer warranty, we reserve the right to proceed with the works through the manufacturer warranty in the first instance.
Your Warranty will be invalidated in the event that a third party carries out any tests or work on your watch (including, without limitation, dismantling your watch to carry out an inspection) without our prior knowledge and consent.
The use of aftermarket components can severely compromise the technical performance, reliability and waterproofness of your watch. Any modification of your watch by the addition or substitution of components by aftermarket products that have not been provided by the manufacturer will invalidate your Warranty.
In the event of a claim against your Warranty, we will refund, repair or replace your watch at our sole discretion. Time will not be of the essence for completion of any works carried out under Warranty.
We have the final decision on all claims against our Warranty. If any dispute arises in connection with the Warranty, we reserve the right to instruct an independent third party watchmaker nominated by us to determine the issues in dispute, though are under no obligation to do so. The conclusion in the report to be provided by the third party will be binding as between the parties. Please note that the recommendations of the manufacturer are expressly excluded for the purposes of our Warranty, where such recommendations conflict with our advice.
If you are based outside of the United Kingdom, you may have to pay import duty or other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs or other authorities of your country for work done under Warranty, particularly if you do not correctly complete the relevant declarations.
Please note that you must securely deliver the watch to our service center as advised and with adequate insurance, whether for the health check or to claim against your Warranty or for any other reason, which shall be your responsibility and at your cost unless stated otherwise. If you are based in the UK and have a valid claim against your Warranty, we will not make a charge for the postage and packaging costs of returning the watch to you (unless the work involves battery replacement only). We will charge for postage and packaging and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for work carried out under Warranty if you are based outside of the UK.
Delivery of the watch will be completed when we deliver the watch to the address given in your order or when the watch is collected from our offices (by you or your representative).
If you arrange for another courier to collect the watch, delivery will be completed when the watch is collected from our offices. This means that we will not be responsible if the watch is lost or damaged in the course of transit.
The watch will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.
Your Warranty is personal to you and is non-transferable. The Warranty is in addition to your legal rights.
If you wish to make a claim against your Warranty, please contact a member of our servicing team.
* Where you enter into a finance agreement, the date of purchase means the date we receive the final balance payment in full and cleared funds from the finance company.

TIME SERVICES

INTRODUCTION

These terms and conditions will apply to any contract between us for any work that either we carry out for you or we instruct to be carried out on your behalf. By requesting a quotation, you agree to these terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions should be read in conjunction with any other terms and conditions referred to in this document.
We draw your attention to clause 5(h) and 5(i) below where we are either unpaid or you fail to collect your watch within 12 months.
Please also ensure that you review clauses 4, 9 and 14 as they include important limitations on, and exclusions of, our liability for work carried out by us and third parties. If you do not accept this clause, please either arrange your own insurance accordingly or do not send your watch to us.

1. INTERPRETATION

Refurbishment: a valet service of your watch to clean and restore shine.
Service: the servicing and/or repair of your watch, which may involve without limitation an overhaul of the movement, the addition or substitution of parts or other work.
Time Services warranty: the warranty provided when Time Services originally carries out chargeable work on your watch.
Watch: the watch (or any part of it) that is the subject of the quotation and (if proceeded) the work.
Watches World warranty: the warranty provided by Watches World on the original sale of your watch to you.
We, us, our: Watchesworld.com Limited t/as Time Services/Watches World.
Website: the website at the domain www.timeservices.com and/or the website at the domain www.watchesworld.com.
Work: servicing, refurbishment, battery replacements, testing, links (addition or removal) and/or other work as applicable.
You, your: the person or other entity that instructs us to carry out work on the watch.
b. Clause headings shall not affect the interpretation of these terms and conditions.
c. A reference to writing or written includes e-mail.
d. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular shall include the plural and in the plural shall include the singular.

2. WHAT TO EXPECT
a. We will assess your watch on receipt to determine the scope of work required, unless your instructions are limited (for example, to add/remove links or to replace a battery only, in which case we will not carry out a full diagnostic investigation unless requested).
b. We may need to dismantle your watch in order to determine the scope of work required, which you consent to by providing us with your watch (unless your watch is covered by a manufacturer warranty, in which case we will arrange for your watch to be sent to the manufacturer unopened unless you instruct otherwise).
c. Once we have determined the scope of work required, we will provide you with a written quotation. No work will be started until you have accepted our quotation and given us permission to start work (see clause 8 regarding your right to cancel), either orally or in writing. If you choose not to proceed with the work, we will charge you for return postage (please see ‘Price and Payment’ below).
d. Any quotation that we give either before receipt of your watch or before we have had an opportunity to carry out a full assessment of your watch, though given in good faith, is an estimate only. We may need to alter our quotation once we have carried out a full inspection.
e. Although we carefully assess your watch on receipt to determine the scope and cost of work required, we reserve the right to charge for any unforeseeable work, additional parts or increase in the cost of parts. If this is necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible to obtain your consent.
f. If you choose for your watch to be returned to you before completion of the work, we reserve the right to charge for work completed until the date you notify us of the same. In this event, your watch will not be accompanied by our warranty and may be returned to you dismantled and/or non-water resistant. See clause 8 regarding your right to cancel.
g. We reserve the right (though are under no obligation) to refuse to carry out (or arrange to be carried out) any work on your watch for any reason (for example, because we feel that the work requested would prove detrimental to the character of the watch). We will inform you accordingly and provide you with a full refund if you have paid us in advance.
h. All refurbishments must be accompanied by our service; we do not offer refurbishments as a standalone service. We will use reasonable care and skill in refurbishing your watch, which extends to all visible metal parts (including metal straps and cases) and may include plexi glass, but it may not be possible to remove some scratches, dents or marks. Unfortunately, we cannot refurbish gold-plated watches, crystal glass or sapphire glass. We will need to inspect white gold watches to determine whether or not we can offer a refurbishment.
i. Where in our opinion your watch requires replacement parts, we will fit only genuine and exact replacement parts whenever possible. If we are unable to do this, we will obtain your consent to use non-genuine parts before proceeding, in accordance with BHI guidelines.
j. If work carried out on your watch involves the replacement of components and you request the return of the original components to you, we will use reasonable endeavours to comply with your request though are under no obligation to do so. In particular, we have no control over third parties including manufacturers to ensure such requests are met. Many manufacturers will only supply parts on an exchange basis.
k. If at any time we need to take your instructions/obtain your consent under these terms and conditions, we may do so either orally or in writing, though we reserve the right to request that you confirm your instruction in writing before we proceed.
l. Without prejudice to clause 4(e), we will carry out all work with reasonable care and skill.

3. TIME FOR COMPLETION OF WORK
a. We shall perform the Services within a reasonable time taking into account our reliance on third party provider and use reasonable endeavours to meet any anticipated completion date where given. All dates quoted for completion of the work are estimates only and you acknowledge that a reasonable time for completion of the work may extend to several months for factors outside of our reasonable control, for example where manufacturer involvement is necessary (including without limitation in the sourcing of genuine and non-genuine parts).
b. Some jurisdictions do not allow a complete exclusion for delay, so the clause above may not apply to you, provided always that we will not be responsible for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss where the delay stems from causes beyond our control, including without limitation a delay caused by a manufacturer.

4. EXTERNAL WORK
a. If we are unable to carry out work on your watch in our workshop (for example, because your watch is still covered by its original manufacturer warranty or because we cannot source the essential parts required for your watch), we may need to outsource your watch to a manufacturer.
b. If we need to send your watch to a manufacturer, this is likely to increase the cost (unless completed under warranty) and time for completion of the work. We will only send your watch to a manufacturer with your consent.
c. We will provide you with a copy of the manufacturer’s quotation as soon as possible after receipt by us for your approval, either orally or in writing. You acknowledge that we act as an intermediary only and that we have no control over their quotation and any additional charges incurred.
d. If you do not accept the manufacturer quotation and choose not to proceed with the work, an administrative charge may be applied by them. We will seek to warn you in advance where possible of potential administrative charges, but in any event you agree to reimburse us any such charges.
e. While we will make reasonable efforts to ensure reasonable standards of skills, integrity and reliability in the third parties we instruct to carry out work on your watch on your behalf and to comply with your requirements, you accept and agree that we give no warranty as to the suitability of any third party for any work.
f. Without prejudice to clause 9(a), we do not accept any liability whatsoever in relation to the work carried out by manufacturers.
g. You may benefit from a warranty provided by the manufacturer. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty. We do not guarantee the work carried out by third parties.
h. If you are a consumer, a manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to your legal rights.
i. The price you pay depends on the work that either we or a third party agree to carry out on your behalf.
j. A servicing quotation is available on request. The standard cost of a refurbishment is £90 inclusive of VAT, unless advised differently. Please contact a member of our team in relation to any other work.
k. If you have a valid claim against our warranty (whether a Watchesworld warranty or a Time Services warranty), then we will carry out the work free of charge, subject to our ‘Time Services Warranty’ clause below.
l. The price quoted to you is in Pounds Sterling unless advised differently. You will be responsible for the exchange rate and you are advised that any refunds may be affected by such exchange rate. Payments must be made in pounds sterling and any refunds will only be issued in Pounds Sterling.
m. The price quoted includes VAT (or similar sales tax) at a rate of 20% (or other prevailing rate). However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of the quotation and the date of delivery or performance, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay for work to be carried out by us, unless you have already paid for the work in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
n. The price for the work excludes delivery costs (between us and you and between us and the manufacturer if applicable), which will be added to the total amount due (please see ‘Delivery’ below).
o. If we receive a watch for work that is quoted but not proceeded, then a return postage cost of £12.00 will apply if you are based in the UK (unless the decision not to proceed with the work is ours, in which case no return postage charge will apply). If you are based outside of the UK, a courier will be selected at our discretion and postage and insurance costs will be payable by you.
p. All fees due to us must be paid by you before we can arrange to return your watch to you. Without prejudice to any of our other rights or remedies, we shall have a general and particular lien over all items in our possession which are the property of you to secure payment by you of all sums due from you to us under any contract whatsoever.
q. We reserve the right (without prejudice to our other rights and remedies) to sell any uncollected or unpaid watches 12 months after the completion date to recover the outstanding money owed to us. We will notify you of the same at least one month before we seek to exercise this right. We will deduct money outstanding to us and our administrative charges in exercising this right from the sums achieved, and seek to return any balance to you (provided you give us your current bank details).

5. TIME SERVICES WARRANTY
a. Any chargeable work (excluding without limitation work carried out under our WatchesWorld warranty) which involves a full service including a complete overhaul of the movement will entitle you to a 24-month Time Services warranty, protecting your watch against defects arising from our work. Any minor repairs will only be guaranteed to the extent of the exact work carried out.
b. Your warranty is valid from the date of completion of the work. Any work carried out under our warranty (whether a Watchesworld warranty or a Time Services warranty) will not extend the warranty period.
c. Your warranty will be registered to your current postal address. To ensure your warranty remains valid, please make sure that you inform us of any changes to your contact details without delay, including your full name, postal address, e-mail address and telephone number.
d. Our warranty does not cover theft or loss of your watch, normal wear-and-tear, damage caused to your watch by accidents, mishandling, mistreatment or negligence (including, without limitation, damage caused by failure to follow manufacturer and/or our instructions). In particular, components not fitted by us, battery replacements, wear of the watch strap, glass, clasp and cosmetic damage are not covered by our warranty.
e. Your warranty will be invalidated in the event that a third party carries out any tests or work on your watch (including, without limitation, dismantling your watch to carry out an inspection) without our prior knowledge and consent.
f. In the event of a claim against your warranty, we will seek to repair your watch free of charge (excluding any parts necessary). You will need to notify us of your claim as soon as reasonably possibly after your discovery of a problem with your watch, and in any event no later than 2 weeks after you first notice the problem. We will seek to complete the work within a reasonable period of time, but you acknowledge that a reasonable period of time may extend to several months when unavoidably caused by factors beyond our reasonable control, particularly given our reliance on third parties and the worldwide shortage of watchmakers. Please see clause 3 above.
g. As stated above, we do not provide a warranty where the work is completed by a manufacturer.
h. We have the final decision on all claims against our warranty. If any dispute arises in connection with the warranty, we reserve the right to instruct an independent third party watchmaker nominated by us to determine the issues in dispute, though are under no obligation to do so. The conclusion in the report to be provided by the third party will be binding as between the parties. Please note that the recommendations of the manufacturer are expressly excluded for the purposes of our warranty, where such recommendations conflict with our advice.
i. You must comply with our delivery instructions (see ‘Delivery’ below).
j. Your warranty is personal to you and is non-transferable, though may be transferred with our written consent. The warranty is in addition to your legal rights. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
k. If you wish to make a claim against your warranty, please contact a member of our servicing team. [email protected].

6. DELIVERY
a. If you are based within the UK, we will return your watch to you once the work is completed by Royal Mail’s Special Delivery™ and postage will be at your cost (£12.00 unless advised differently). If you are based outside of the UK, a courier will be selected at our discretion and postage and insurance costs will be payable by you.
b. If you are based in the UK and have a valid claim against your warranty, we will provide you with a pre-paid envelope to return your watch to us and we will not make a charge for the postage and packaging costs of returning the watch to you (unless the work involves battery replacement and/or link addition or removal only, which in any event is not covered under warranty). We will charge for postage, packaging, insurance and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for work carried out under warranty if you are based outside of the UK. In all cases, you remain responsible for ensuring that you pack your watch appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
c. Delivery of the watch will be completed when we deliver the watch to the address you gave us or you collect the watch from us (we require ID for collections). Please note that if you arrange for your own courier to collect your watch or choose another postal method, delivery will be completed when the watch is collected from our offices.
d. Please see clause 9 below in relation to our maximum liability. We recommend that you check your household insurance policy to ensure that your watch is covered whilst it is with us and whilst in transit back to you, or arrange an appropriate extension to your policy.
e. Risk in the watch will pass to you on completion of delivery.
f. If you are based outside of the UK, you may also have to pay import/export duty or other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs or other authorities for work carried out on your watch, particularly if you do not correctly complete the relevant declarations (if based outside the EU, ordinarily you should mark the watch as a ‘return for repair’). You must comply with all laws and regulations of your country. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. If you are unsure about whether these charges might apply to your order, you should contact your local tax or customs office for further information.

7. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
a. You have a right to cancel this contract without giving any reason. The period will expire 14 days from the day after you agree our quotation to carry out the service or 14 days after your watch is returned following a service where we have also supplied parts. When you agree to our quotation we will also ask your permission to start work during the cancellation period – see clauses 9(d) & 9(e) below
b. To exercise the right to cancel you must inform us, please either e-mail the sales advisor that dealt with your Order or e-mail our Customer Services team ([email protected]).
c. To meet the cancellation deadline it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired
d. If we are carrying out a service without supplying any parts, and you have given us permission to start work on your watch during the cancellation period, you will pay us an amount which is in proportion to the work that we have completed up to when you communicated us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full price of the contract. If we have completed the work you will lose the right to cancel this contract. In the event that you are due any reimbursement we will refund you within 14 days from when you informed us of your wish to cancel. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement
e. If we are carrying out a service which includes supplying parts, and you have given us permission to start work on your watch during the cancellation period, you will pay us an amount which is in proportion to the work that we have completed up to when you communicated us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full price of the contract. If we have completed the work you will have to pay our full labour costs. With regard to any parts that we have supplied:
i. We may make a reduction in any reimbursement for the price of the parts to take account of any loss in value due to them being fitted into your watch
ii. It will be your responsibility to remove the parts from your watch, if we have returned it to you, and return them to us at your cost
iii. You shall send the parts back or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the parts before the period of 14 days has expired
iv. Provided that you comply with the terms of this clause 8, you will be reimbursed within 14 days of the date we receive the returned parts or from when we receive proof that you have sent the parts back to us, whichever is the earliest. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement
v. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens’ Advice Consumer Service Nothing in our Terms will affect your legal rights.

8. OUR LIABILITY
a. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit or exclude our liability for any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability (including without limitation: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; and (b) our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation).
b. Subject to the clauses 9(a) and 9(c), we shall under no circumstances whatever be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for: (i) loss of profits; (ii) loss of sales or business; (iii) loss of agreements or contracts; (iv) loss of anticipated savings; (v) loss of or damage to goodwill; (vi) loss of use or corruption of software, data or information; or (vii) any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with work carried out under these terms.
c. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential loss, so the above exclusion at clause 9(b) (vii) may not apply to you, provided always that we will not be responsible for any incidental or consequential loss that is not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you instructed us to proceed the work. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or if they were contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the contract.
d. In the event that we lose or damage your watch, we will pay for the reasonable costs of the repair or replacement (less wear or tear) of your watch if we have been negligent.
e. Without prejudice to clauses set out above, we shall not be liable to you for any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay incurred or suffered by you arising directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with: (i) a failure by you to reclaim or pay for your watch within 12 months of the date of completion of the work; (ii) any sentimental or other non-commercial value stated by you to attach to your watch; (iii) the mechanical workings of your watch, either whilst the watch is in our possession or after work has been completed on your watch, unless you instruct us to carry out a full service of your watch which includes a complete overhaul of the movement; (iv) components not replaced by us; (v) any refusal by a manufacturer or other parties to carry out work under warranty or otherwise as a result of work carried out by or on behalf of us (including without limitation due to the addition of non-genuine parts with you consent); (vi) work carried out by us or others where you have been warned by us that such work may damage your watch, where you have nevertheless provided your consent for the work to be carried out; (vii) the instruction by us to a third party for work to be carried out on your watch on your behalf; or (viii) any that was not caused by our breach of these terms.

9. WAIVER
a. If we fail, at any time during the term of a contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the contract or any of these terms, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
b. A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
c. No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.

10. SEVERABILITY
If any court or competent authority decides that any of the provisions of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a contract are invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the term will, to that extent only, be severed from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
