CLAUSE 9 CONTAINS IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY

  1. THE CONTRACT BETWEEN US

Any errors can be corrected prior to submitting your order.

Once submitted, this order becomes an offer, from you to us, to purchase our “Goods” (a watch and associated paraphernalia, possibly including box and paperwork).

If we accept your Order, this will be confirmed by email and the contract between us will only be formed once an Order Confirmation email has been sent to you.

All the Goods on our website, which are listed for sale, are sold subject to availability. If we are unable to supply these, we will contact you through the contact details you have provided to us, to tell you and then we will cancel the Order. If you have already paid for the Goods, we will reimburse you within 7 Working Days of cancellation, unless a fraudulent payment is suspected.

Occasionally, Goods will be listed for sale on the website, but will be unavailable until work has been carried-out on them. We will give you an estimate of how long this may take, when you place your order.

You can cancel your Order any time before dispatch of the Goods.

All Goods will remain for sale on the Website until you have paid for your purchase in full.

By placing an order for Goods on our website, you are confirming you are 18 years of age or older.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products that appear on our Website. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any colour will be accurate.

The packaging of your Goods may vary from that shown on the Website.

We do not guarantee that the boxes or other packaging accompanying your Goods, are authentic.

  1. PRICING AND METHODS OF PAYMENT

The price of our Goods will be set out in your Order and may change at any time. All prices are in Pounds Sterling, with all payments and refunds being issued in the same. We accept no liability for changes in exchange rates and their impact on buyers based outside the UK.

Our prices include UK VAT at the prevailing rate where applicable, and are subject to change until you have paid for the Goods in full. Our prices exclude the cost of delivering your Goods, as well as any transaction charge incurred, which will be added to the final amount due, shown in your order, prior to payment.

Occasionally there may be information on our website or in the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information in the Service or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order).

Prices for our products and services may change without notice.

We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

All Goods must be paid for in full, prior to dispatch.

We accept payments by the following methods if you are based in the UK:

Credit or Debit Card, using PayPal: 4% surcharge.

Cash: We accept cash payments of up to £9,000. You will be asked to provide proof of address as well as identity, for all cash payments.

Cheque: Payable to THE CHRONO DUO Ltd, allowing 10 working days for funds to clear into our account.

Bank Transfer: We accept payment by CHAPS, BACS and faster payment transfers.

If you are based outside the UK, you must pay for all Goods by international bank transfer, or cleared PayPal funds.

You will see a breakdown of the total amount payable for the Goods, on the Order Summary page.

In certain circumstances, and by negotiation, we will accept a deposit for a watch, prior to payment of the balance by a specified date. This deposit is entirely non-refundable and in the event of failure to pay the balance by the agreed date, will not be returned.

  1. DELIVERY

When you place your order, we will contact you to advise you as to a likely delivery date. This will vary according to the availability of the goods and your address, and are only estimates, given in good faith.

In the UK, all goods will be dispatched using UPS, at a cost of £10, unless another price is quoted on the Order Summary page.

Currently, we cannot deliver Goods to any of the following countries: Afghanistan; Angola; Cuba; Ethiopia; Indonesia; Iran; Iraq; Lebanon; Liberia; Libya, Myanmar/Burma; Nicaragua; Nigeria; North Korea; Pakistan, 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 Goods are to be dispatched to a destination outside the UK, we will endeavour to arrange suitable postage and insurance to send your Goods to you. Please contact us at info@thechronoduo.co.uk, before placing your order, if you wish to get a likely time and cost estimate.

A signature by an adult aged 18 years or over, is needed for receipt of all Goods, at the delivery address, whether it’s yourself or a member of your household. Any parcel that has been tampered with, or shows signs of damage, should not be signed for and delivery refused.

All goods will be delivered to the address given in the original Order.

Goods may be collected from a location of our choosing, in London, such as our Bank, but only by appointment and with at least one working day’s notice. Delivery of the goods will be completed when they have been delivered to the Address given in your Order, or they have been collected from us.

Under exceptional circumstances, and at our discretion, we may be able to arrange delivery of your Goods in person, in the Greater London area.

The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery, and ownership will pass to you, only once we have received payment for them in full.

  1. CUSTOMS & DUTIES

If outside the UK, you may have to pay import duties or other charges, levied by national authorities, when your Goods enter their country of destination. These are entirely your responsibility.

  1. WARRANTIES

Please see section entitled “WARRANTIES” below.

  1. FAULTY WATCHES

Once delivered, you must inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable, and inform us immediately, if they are faulty, or the Goods are not as described.

Reasonable care must be taken of the Goods, and any that are faulty must be returned promptly, including paperwork, boxes, links, user manual and service papers, within 14 days of notifying us of a fault.

If on inspection, and provided you meet the return requirements mentioned above, the Goods are found to be faulty, we will either, agree to replace the Goods, repair them, or refund you for them, in part or in full.

  1. CANCELLATION RIGHTS

You may cancel your order for Goods without giving any reason, within 14 days from the day after the Goods are delivered to you.

We will make reasonable deductions for any wear and tear the Goods may have suffered, or for any repair that needs to be carried-out, as a result of damage incurred, whilst they were in your care. Paperwork has a significant impact on resale value and we may reduce the funds that we return to you by up to 30% if these are missing or damaged.

Return postage, packaging and insurance are your responsibility, but once inspected, provided the Goods that are returned to us, are in the same condition as when they were sent to you; we will contribute £10 to your costs of dispatch.

You must send the Goods back to us within 7 days of sending us your notification to cancel. Provided the conditions above are met, we will reimburse you within 10 days of receiving and inspecting the Goods.

To cancel your order, you must inform us either by email to info@thechronoduo.co.uk .

We may have to cancel your Order, due to Events outside our control or unavailability of stock. We will refund you within 10 working days of our notification being sent to you, of our intention to cancel your Order.
