1.0.0. Buy A Watch

By ordering any of our Goods, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

All Goods shown on our Website are subject to availability. If the Goods are unavailable we will let you know and refund any payment made within 5 working days.

Some Goods may not be available for dispatch until Work has been completed. We will let you know within 3 working days of your purchase if this applies to your Order. We will endeavour to complete work quickly and let you know the latest timelines; however, due to our reliance on third-parties, work may take up to 2 months. You are entitled to cancel and receive a full refund during this period should you wish.

We cannot guarantee that boxes and/or other packaging supplied are authentic or original to the watch and any aftermarket packaging may vary from that shown on listing images.

1.1.0. Payment

The prices quoted on our Website are in Pounds Sterling. Payments must be made to us in Pounds Sterling and any refunds will only be issued by us in Pounds Sterling. We do not accept liability for fluctuations in the exchange rate, which may affect any refund if you are based outside the UK.

Goods may be incorrectly priced in error. If this occurs we will contact you as soon as possible to notify you. If the listed price is higher than the true price we will refund you the balance and proceed with the order. If the listed price is lower than the true price then we will give you the option to pay the balance or cancel the order. If we do not hear back from you within 3 working days we will assume the order is cancelled.

If we reasonably suspect a fraudulent payment by debit or credit card, then we will not dispatch any Goods and we will not carry out any refunds until authorised by our bank.

1.2.0. Shipping

Deliveries are made using a courier of our choice (usually Royal Mail Special Delivery service or DHL Express. 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.

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.

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.

1.3.0. 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.

1.4.0. Tolerance Limits

We expect watches to maintain within the following tolerance limits:

Time Keeping +/- 60 seconds; Amplitude >180°; Power Reserve 24 hours

1.5.0. Watch Age

The listed ‘Year’ of a watch may be calculated according to the information stated on the manufacturer paperwork, or else estimated according to the serial number where possible. It is your responsibility to clarify what the stated ‘Year’ refers to, and we will not be liable for refunds if this has been misunderstood.

1.6.0. Returns

Goods may be returned within 14 days of the delivery date, defined as the time of delivery recorded by the delivery courier. Returns will only be valid if the Goods are totally unused and in the same condition that they went out in. We withhold the right to refuse refunds if we do not believe that this clause has been met. If Goods are fitted with a tamper-proof sticker, removal of this sticker will result in loss of rights to return. Goods cannot be returned after the 14 day period for any reason.

To exercise the right to cancel or return you must inform us, either e-mail the sales advisor that dealt with your Order or e-mail our Customer Services team (support@timepiecevintage.com).

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.

If free return promotions are advertised this applies to orders within Europe only, and does not apply to countries in the rest of the world.

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.

If any Goods are found to be Faulty at the point of shipment from us, you will be given the option to request a refund, repair, or replacement of the Goods.

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. Return postage of faulty goods will be covered from anywhere in the world up to £15.

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.

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.

Provided that you comply with these terms, you will be refunded in full within 14 days of the date we receive the returned Goods. 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.

1.6.1. Warranty

Every watch we sell comes with a 3 month warranty starting from the date of delivery. Warranty only covers non-accidental mechanical issues and does not cover water or fall damage. Any issue included in the warranty will be repaired by us and then returned to the buyer.

1.7.0. Our Right to Cancel

We may have to cancel an Order before the Goods are delivered, for example, due to an Event Outside Our Control or the unavailability of stock. We will contact you as soon as possible if this happens.

If we have to cancel an Order and you have made any payment in advance for Goods that have not been delivered to you, we will refund these amounts to you within 7 Working Days (unless we reasonably suspect a fraudulent card payment, see clause 17).

1.8.0. Our Liability

We only supply the Goods for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, and we shall under no circumstances whatever be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for any liability for which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability (including but not limited to: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) any breach of the terms implied into contract by the following sections of the Consumer Rights Act 2015: sections 9 and 34 (satisfactory quality); sections 10 and 35 (fit for purpose); sections 11 and 36 (as described); sections 12 and 37 (conformity to pre-contract information); section 13 (match sample); section 14 (match model); section 15 (installation); section 16 (non-conforming digital content); sections 17 and 41 (trader right to supply); section 28 (delivery) and section 29 (passing of risk).

1.11.0. Waiver

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 and, 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.

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

No waiver by us of any of these Terms will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.

1.12.0. Severability

If any court or competent authority decides that any of the provisions or paragraphs 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.
