OYSTERBAR TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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 16).

f. 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. You can cancel your Order at any time before dispatch of the Goods – see clause 13 which explains your rights to cancel your contract with us.

g. 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.

h. 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.

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.

b. 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.

c. The price quoted includes VAT (or similar sales tax) at the prevailing rate.

d. The price of the Goods excludes delivery costs. 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.

e. 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:

f. Credit card or debit card: In person by chip & pin. Online payments must be 3D secure & AVS approved. The billing address must match the delivery address and where the address does not pass AVS or 3D secure we have the right to cancel the transaction, ask you to provide proof of address or request for an alternative payment method to be used. We do not take card payments over the telephone.

g. Cash: We accept cash payment up to a maximum of £8,000.00. You will be asked to provide evidence of identity and proof of address for all cash payments made of £2,000.00 or more;

h. Cheque: Payable to ‘Watches of Knightsbridge Ltd.’ Please allow up to 9 Working Days for funds to clear into our account;

i. 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; please note that we will only dispatch Goods one working day after the payment has cleared into our account.

j. 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

k. 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 or our credit provider decline your application, you can either pay for the Goods using another payment option or cancel your Order. Further information regarding these finance options is made available on the Website.

a. All Orders will be dispatched the next working day after your order has been confirmed in accordance to section 2.d). Goods dispatched to the UK will be via Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery service free of charge and fully insured by our insurance. Goods dispatched outside of the UK will be via FedEx Express which aims to deliver the parcel within 48 hours (this will normally be longer when customs clearance is required). These parcels are insured by our third party insurance provider Malca-Amit Ltd in full. Occasionally 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, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Liberia, Mainland China, Nigeria, North Korea, Rwanda, Russia, Somalia, North and South Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Yemen.

c. Delivery charges will be shown in the Order Summary page of our Website.

d. 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 or information required by customs.

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. We can send the Goods to an alternative address such as a work address when payment is made by bank transfer or cheque. 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. Goods can only be collected if payment has been received prior by bank transfer and cleared into our account one working day before collection. If payment is made by card then we request for payment to be made by chip & pin on collection rather than online through our website.

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.

l. Collection can only be arranged on the buyer’s behalf if payment is made by bank transfer and cleared into our account one working day before collection is made.

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.

We must state the full value of the Goods for shipping and will provide completed breakdown forms where necessary.

We provide a mechanical warranty for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery in accordance with the following Warranty terms and conditions.

a. Our warranty does not cover theft or loss of the watch.

b. Our warranty does not cover normal wear-and-tear or damage caused to the watch by accidents or mishandling/mistreatment. We will endeavour to repair the damage caused but this will be at your cost.

c. We do not provide a waterproof guarantee. The watches will withstand splashes of water but we recommend no contact with water especially fully submerged for example whilst swimming or in the shower. Therefore our warranty does not cover damage caused to a watch due to water. We will endeavour to repair the damage caused but this will be at your cost.

d. We provide an authenticity guarantee for all the watches sold which means that we will issue a full refund if the complete watch is proven to be counterfeit. When we state the dial as original, this means that it is authentic and not restored. We do not guarantee that the dial is original to the watch as this information is not accessible for us to check with Rolex. 

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 or call on 03454 040506).
