These Terms of Service govern your use of The Watch Broker website and any purchases made through our website. By accessing our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms of Service.

Throughout these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to The Watch Broker.

2. Use of Our Website

By using our website, you agree to use it only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not use the website:

  • For fraudulent or unlawful purposes

  • To transmit malicious software or harmful code

  • To interfere with the security or operation of the website

  • To collect or misuse personal information belonging to others

  • To infringe intellectual property or other legal rights

3. Products

The Watch Broker offers watches and related products, including new and pre-owned timepieces where specified.

We make reasonable efforts to describe and display our products accurately, including their condition, characteristics, specifications, and included accessories where applicable.

For pre-owned watches, minor signs of previous ownership may be present. Relevant known signs of wear or condition information should be reflected in the product description and/or photographs where applicable.

Availability may be limited, and certain watches may be unique or available in very small quantities.

4. Product Information

Customers are responsible for reviewing the product description, photographs, specifications, condition information, dimensions, and other relevant information provided before purchasing.

Product photographs and videos are intended to represent the watch as accurately as reasonably possible. However, lighting conditions, photography, and differences between screens may affect how colors and finishes appear.

For pre-owned watches, photographs and descriptions should be considered together when assessing the condition of the watch.

Where reference numbers, production years, movement information, materials, dimensions, or other specifications are provided, we make reasonable efforts to ensure their accuracy.

5. Authenticity

Authenticity is an important part of our approach at The Watch Broker.

We take reasonable measures to assess the watches we offer and the information available to us before listing them for sale.

Where applicable, watches may be reviewed based on their identifying characteristics, components, condition, documentation, reference information, and other relevant factors.

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular product, references to authenticity or verification should not be interpreted as meaning that a watch has been independently certified by its original manufacturer.

Nothing in this section limits any statutory rights relating to products that are counterfeit, misrepresented, defective, or otherwise non-conforming.

6. Orders

By placing an order, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

After successfully placing an order, you will normally receive an order confirmation at the email address provided during checkout.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where permitted by law, including in cases involving:

  • Suspected fraud

  • Unauthorized transactions

  • Payment issues

  • Obvious pricing errors

  • Product unavailability

  • Duplicate orders resulting from a technical error

  • Misuse of promotional offers

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, the relevant amount will be refunded.

7. Prices

Product prices are displayed on our website and may vary depending on the customer's market, location, or selected currency.

Prices may change at any time. However, price changes will not normally affect an order that has already been validly placed, except where applicable law permits otherwise.

The total amount payable, including applicable shipping charges and taxes collected by us, will be displayed before checkout is completed.

8. Payment

Payment must be made using one of the payment methods available during checkout.

By providing payment information, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.

Payments may be securely processed by third-party payment providers.

We do not guarantee that every payment method will be available in every country or for every transaction.

Additional verification may be requested where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention or transaction security.

9. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping options, costs, and estimated delivery times are described in our Shipping Policy and/or displayed during checkout where applicable.

Delivery estimates are provided in good faith but may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier delays, customs procedures, severe weather, security checks, or other logistical disruptions.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information.

Because watches can be high-value items, certain shipments may require tracking, insurance, or a signature upon delivery.

10. International Orders

International shipments may be subject to customs inspections, import restrictions, taxes, duties, or other requirements imposed by the destination country.

Customers are responsible for checking whether the products ordered can legally be imported into their country.

Where duties, taxes, or other import charges are not collected during checkout, they may be payable by the recipient, subject to applicable law.

Customs processing may also affect estimated delivery times.

11. Returns and Refunds

Returns, withdrawal rights, cancellations, and refunds are governed by our Return & Refund Policy and applicable consumer protection laws.

Eligible consumers may have statutory withdrawal rights, including, where applicable, a 14-day withdrawal period for certain distance purchases in the European Union.

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory statutory rights available to consumers.

12. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information displayed on our website is accurate and up to date.

Occasionally, information may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product descriptions, specifications, prices, promotions, shipping charges, or availability.

Where permitted by law, we may correct such errors and update information.
