2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

1. Our Goods are age restricted. By placing an Order for the Goods, you are declaring that you are 18 years of age or over.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. In some instances a non-manufacturer strap may be fitted to a watch.
7. 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.
8. All Goods will remain available for sale on our website until you have paid the balance in full.
9. 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.
10. The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown on images on the Website.
11. Where our Make An Offer facility is enabled on our Website and you wish to use this facility, please first take the time to read and understand our Make An Offer terms and conditions.
12. We cannot guarantee that boxes and/or other packaging supplied are authentic.

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.

1. 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.
2. The prices quoted on our Website are in Euros (€). Payments must be made to us in Euros and any refunds will only be issued by us in Euros.
3. The price quoted includes VAT (or similar sales tax) at the prevailing rate. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of dispatch, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
4. The price of the Goods excludes delivery costs, unless otherwise stated. Our delivery charges will be notified to you pursuant to clause 4(c) and will be added to total amount due and shown in the Order Summary page of our Website before you place your Order.
5. It is always possible that some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. 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).
6. You must make payment for the Goods at the same time as placing an Order, unless we agree otherwise, and in any event we must receive full and cleared funds prior to dispatch of the Goods. Unless we notify you otherwise, we can accept payment by the following methods if you are based in the UK:
7. Credit card or debit card: Payments must be 3D secure.
8. Cash: We accept cash payment up to a maximum of £8,500.00 in UK stores only. You will be asked to provide evidence of identity and proof of address for all cash payments made in UK stores of £2,000.00 or more;
9. Cheque: Payable to 'Watchfinder.co.uk Limited.' Please allow up to 9 Working Days for funds to clear into our account;
10. Bankers draft: Payable to 'Watchfinder.co.uk Limited.' All drafts will be authenticated by our bank before the Goods are dispatched;
11. Bank transfer: We accept payment by CHAPS, BACS, faster payment (same day) transfers or international transfers. We will advise you of our account details prior to accepting any Order;
12. Part exchange: Where your purchase of the Goods also involves your sale of a watch, we can accept your current watch as part payment towards the Goods. 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
13. l. If you are based outside the UK, you may be requested to pay for the Goods by an international bank transfer.
14. The Order Summary page of our Website will give you a breakdown of the price of the Goods, our delivery charges and any credit card surcharges and will display a total amount payable.
15. 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. We will give you at least 3 days’ notice by e-mail before we do this and we will refund your deposit within 14 days of the date your Order is cancelled (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 17).
16. Please see 'Buy a Watch' clause 13(m) for when a credit note is used.

4. DELIVERY

1. a. All Orders placed before 14:00 Monday to Friday will receive free 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 and any applicable delivery costs. 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 16 for our responsibilities when this happens.
2. We cannot deliver the Goods to the following countries (the ‘Excluded Countries’): Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Liberia, Nigeria, North Korea, Rwanda, Somalia, North and South Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Yemen. 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 (+44 844 247 8884) or by e-mail (aftersales@watchfinder.co.uk).
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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
7. Goods may be collected from our Premises but by appointment only for security reasons. If our Premises are open, 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 having your appointment confirmed.
8. 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 Premises.
9. If you independently arrange for another courier to collect the Goods, delivery will be completed when the Goods are collected from our Premises. This means that we will not be responsible if the Goods are lost or damaged in the course of transit.
10. The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.
11. You own the goods once we have received payment in full.

5. CUSTOMS

If you are based outside the UK, you may also have to pay import duty or other taxes, fees or charges applied by customs or other authorities in the country of receipt. You must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the Goods. 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. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

1. Some of the Goods we sell come with a manufacturer's warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions for your Goods, please refer to the Paperwork provided with the Goods or to the manufacturer’s website.
2. 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.

7. WATCHFINDER WARRANTY

1. We may provide either a full or limited warranty with our pre-owned Goods for a period of 24 months, unless stated otherwise, 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 Goods which are covered by a third party manufacturer’s warranty with more than twelve month’s remaining.
2. 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.

8. WATER RESISTANCE

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 endeavour to size the Goods 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

1. 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 manufacturer or authorised dealer (‘Age’). You acknowledge that the date of manufacture may be significantly earlier than the Paperwork date.
2. 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.
3. 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. RETURNS POLICY

1. Purchases made from our Premises 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 13(o). This does not affect your usual consumer rights.
2. Purchases made online may only be exchanged or refunded within 14 days of purchase if they are in an unused condition. Goods purchased online will come with a tamper-proof returns sticker which allows for the Goods to be tried on and examined for any faults. Returns will not be accepted if this sticker has been damaged or removed so please examine the Goods thoroughly to ensure you are completely satisfied with the product before removing this.
3. In the event that Goods are returned from you following a cancelled sale, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility. Watchfinder relinquishes all responsibility for the safe delivery of Goods in this instance. You shall send the goods 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 goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
4. Return postage, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility 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.
5. You must return any Goods that are Faulty (including Paperwork, links, user manual, service papers and Box as applicable) promptly and within 14 days of advising us of the relevant Faulty Good.
6. If your Goods are Faulty on delivery and you are based within the UK, we will refund your reasonably incurred return postage costs (excluding any insurance and subsidiary costs) provided you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us with a copy receipt.
7. If your Goods are Faulty on delivery and you are based outside the UK, we will refund your reasonably incurred return postage costs (excluding any insurance and subsidiary costs) at our discretion provided you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us with a copy receipt.
8. 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).
9. If you are based outside of the UK we will charge for postage, packaging, insurance and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for work carried out under warranty. In all cases, you remain responsible for ensuring that you pack your watch appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
10. 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.

12. FAULTY GOODS

1. We are under a legal duty to supply you with products that are in conformity with the contract.

7. you may ask us to repair the Goods, though we are under no obligation to repair the Goods where this is impossible or imposes costs on us that we deem unreasonable, taking into account, amongst other things, the value which the Goods would have if they conformed to the contract of sale and the significance of the lack of conformity, in which case your remedy will be limited to either refund or replacement subject to the terms set out in this clause 11; or
8. if we are unable to repair or replace the Goods after one or more attempts, you may ask us to refund your payment less: a) any reasonable deduction in accordance with clause 11(j) for loss of or damage to Paperwork; and b) any reasonable deduction for wear and tear through use which will not exceed the cost of a refurbishment if the relevant Goods (including Paperwork, links, User Manual Services papers and box as applicable) are returned after 6 months of delivery.

3. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusion at clause 15(b) 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 we entered into the contract.

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). 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. We will endeavour to send you reminders prior to each health check due date, though are under no obligation to do so and the responsibility of date keeping is ultimately yours.

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 written 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 Warranty terms and conditions), then we will notify you accordingly and, only 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 appropriately insured, 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. In the UK, advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens’ Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call on 03454 040506).

If you wish to make a claim against your Warranty, please contact a member of our warranty team by calling +44 844 247 8884 or emailing aftersales@watchfinder.co.uk

SERVICING

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

1. The following definitions and rules of interpretation apply in these terms and conditions:
   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.
   Watch: the watch (or any part of it) that is the subject of the quotation of the Service and (if proceeded) the work.
   We, us, our: Watchfinder.co.uk Limited t/as Time Services/Watchfinder (registered in England and Wales with company number 04524723).
   Website: the website at the domain www.timeservices.co.uk and/or the website at the domain www.watchfinder.no
   Work: servicing, refurbishment, battery replacements, testing, links (addition or removal) and/or any other work as applicable
   You, your: the person or other entity that instructs us to carry out work on the watch.
   
2. Clause headings shall not affect the interpretation of these terms and conditions.
3. A reference to writing or written includes e-mail.
4. 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

1. 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).
2. 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).
3. 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), in writing. If you choose not to proceed with the work, we will charge you for return postage (please see ‘Price and Payment’ below).
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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, there are certain materials that we cannot refurbish. We will need to inspect each watch to determine whether or not we can offer a refurbishment.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Without prejudice to clause 4(e), we will carry out all work with reasonable care and skill.

3. TIME FOR COMPLETION OF WORK

1. 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).
2. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Without prejudice to clause 9(a), we do not accept any liability whatsoever in relation to the work carried out by manufacturers.
7. 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.
8. If you are a consumer, a manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to your legal rights.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

1. The price you pay depends on the work that either we or a third party agree to carry out on your behalf.
2. A servicing quotation is available on request. Please contact a member of our team in relation to any other work.
3. If you have a valid claim against our Servicing Warranty or Watchfinder Warranty, then we will carry out the work free of charge, subject to our ‘Warranty’ clause.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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).
7. If we receive a watch for work that is quoted but not proceeded, then a return postage cost 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.
8. 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.
9. 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).

6. SERVICING WARRANTY

Any chargeable work (excluding without limitation work carried out under our Watchfinder 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.

7. DELIVERY

1. You must send your watch to Servicing, Watchfinder & Co, 23 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, ME19 4UA unless advised differently. Postage, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility and at your cost (we recommend you follow our instructions, including by using a tracked mail system and retaining proof of postage). Please ensure that you pack your watch appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
2. If you are based within the UK, we will return your watch to you once the work is completed by our appointed courier and postage will be at your cost. 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.
3. If you are based in the UK and have a valid claim against our Watchfinder or Servicing 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), but the watch must be fully insured by you. If you are based outside of the UK we will charge for postage, packaging, insurance and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for work carried out under warranty. In all cases, you remain responsible for ensuring that you pack your watch appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Risk in the watch will pass to you on completion of delivery.
7. 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.

8. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL

1. You have a right to cancel this contract without giving any reason, within 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 (“Cancellation Period”). 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
2. 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 (aftersales@watchfinder.co.uk).

3. 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
4. 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.
5. 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:
1. 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
2. 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
3. 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 in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
4. Nothing in our Terms will affect your legal rights.

9. OUR LIABILITY

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. In the event that we lose your watch, we will endeavour to replace your watch like for like. If we are unable to replace your watch, we will reimburse you to our assessed value of the watch.
4. If we damage your watch, we will pay for the reasonable costs, which shall be determined by us, of the repair or replacement (less wear or tear) of your watch if we have been negligent.
5. 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.
6. Subject to clause 9(a), our total liability to you in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with work carried out on your watch, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the sum of €1,000 or the market value of your watch as estimated by us (whichever is lower).

10. WAIVER

1. 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.
2. A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
3. 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.
