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 or give you a receipt in store. 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.
8. 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.
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. We cannot guarantee that boxes and/or other packaging supplied are authentic.
12. Any item originally seen on our website and subsequently bought in person in store is bound by these terms and conditions.
13. Certification: Where stones in an item are stated as having certification, this is a document provided by an independent laboratory and constitutes a description of the stone properties from the named laboratory.
14. Descriptions of stones: Any advertised description relating to non-certificated stones where weight, cut, clarity or colour is mentioned it is an approximation and has been calculated or visually judged to the best of our ability. As this is a subjective assessment it is therefore possible that under laboratory inspection these may be deemed as different to our description. All descriptions are made in good faith as accurately as possible by Mark Worthington Jewellers.

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 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.
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.
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: In store only. We don't take American Express, non UK bank cards or Business credit cards. We reserve the right to refuse any card.
8. Cash: We accept cash payment up to a maximum of £8,000.00 in store.
9. Cheque: We don't accept cheques.
10. Bankers draft: Accepted by prior arrangement only.
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 agreed means. 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. where you are purchasing a new watch in part-exchange of your current watch, we will buy your watch and raise a cheque which we will pay to ourselves for the agreed part exchange price. The price paid for your watch then becomes the deposit or payment in full for the watch you are buying. We will fill in the necessary purchase form and either email you a copy, post a copy with the watch being purchased or hand a copy to you. This purchase form may need to be signed or acknowledged by email. We may require further proof of identity and address. We will issue a numbered receipt detailing the deposit and final price with our stock number of the watch being bought. Our Sell Your Watch terms and conditions also apply.
13. Once you have accepted our offer in writing and paperwork has been raised and emailed to you, kept to be given to you upon collection or given to you at the time the price was agreed in person the item(s) become ours and the agreed value we are paying for them becomes your deposit. The items cannot be returned to you in the event that the transaction either isn’t completed or goods purchased by you are returned to us for any reason.
14. If you are based outside the UK, you must pay for the Goods by an international bank transfer.
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 the agreed timescale from 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. A minimum of 10% of the value of the Goods will be retained as a restocking/loss of sale fee.
16. The discounted price of item is only available in a straightforward purchase. Any part exchange or other complication in the purchase of such an item will be calculated at the full ticket value not the discounted price.

4. DELIVERY

1. All Orders will be dispatched as agreed with you. If you are based outside of Mainland UK, we will contact you with an estimated delivery date. 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 15 for our responsibilities when this happens.
2. We cannot deliver the Goods to certain countries due to insurance not being available. We will advise if this is the case. You may arrange your own courier at your own risk and cost once we have cleared funds in our bank.
3. Delivery charges will be discussed 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. Any Orders placed in which the delivery address is based within Mainland UK delivery charges (if any)will be agreed and will be dispatched using a next day delivery service.
4. Deliveries within the UK are made using the Royal Mail's Special Delivery™ service. Deliveries outside the UK are made using either DHL or Fedex or other courier of our choice. 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 or by other agreed method in writing. If you pay by debit or credit card, the Goods must be dispatched to the billing address of the card holder, though we will consider a work address at our discretion. 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).
7. Goods may be collected from our stores but by appointment only for security reasons. 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 making an appointment in advance.
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 stores (by you or your representative).
9. 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.
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, 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. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens' Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call on 03454 040506).

7. MWJ WARRANTY

1. We provide either a full or limited warranty with our pre-owned Goods for a period of 12 months 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 new Goods which are typically covered by a third party manufacturer's warranty

   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).

   We know the value of security, so every pre-owned watch we sell comes with a 12-month warranty alongside any remaining manufacturer's warranty it may also have. Should your watch stop working properly through no fault of your own then we shall repair it free of charge for the duration of your warranty. Please note our warranty doesn't apply to new watches.

   How the Warranty Works

   If your watch is covered by a MWJ Warranty but not the manufacturer's warranty, then we will undertake the repairs in conjunction with the manufacturer where necessary.

   If your watch is not covered by any warranty then you can send it in to us for a quote.

   Important Information

   Please note that our warranty covers manufacturing and mechanical defects only.

   Our warranty is subject to the same terms and conditions as the manufacturer warranty. The standard manufacturer warranty does not cover theft or loss of the watch. Normal wear-and-tear or damage caused to the watch by accidents or mishandling/mistreatment are also excluded, as well as damage caused to a watch due to submersion in water which is against the manufacturer's guidance. In particular, wear of the watch strap is not covered by the warranty.

   Any modification of a watch by the addition or substitution of components by aftermarket products which have not been provided by the manufacturer will also invalidate the warranty. The use of aftermarket components can severely compromise the technical performance, reliability and waterproofness of the watch.

   If Your Watch Has a Problem

   If your watch has developed a fault, you must contact us. We will advise by email what steps you can take by either returning the watch to us for inspection or in some circumstances (only with our consent) taking it to an authorised retailer of the brand to be forwarded to the brands own repair centre for examination.

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. Refer to Wikipedia for a chart explaining the activities one can undertake with various different depth rated watches.
2. New/ unworn Watches have been tested to ensure that the advertised water resistance is accurate. Older preowned watches may not have the resistance to water or moisture that is advertised on the dial or case back or elsewhere.
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. You can advise us of a wrist size before your order is dispatched or taken from a part exchange and we will endeavour to size the watch to the requested size. Where a watch is advertised as having external case and/or bracelet seals intact the bracelet will not be adjusted. Where the size required size exceeds the actual size of the bracelet or strap on the watch we are selling (whether it is the original full length when sold originally or not), links or a longer strap, if available, will be supplied at your cost.

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 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 in store cannot be exchanged or refunded, in some circumstances a credit may be agreed at our discretion. Please refer to clause 13(m). 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. Returns will not be accepted if we deem the product has been worn or interfered with in any way by ANY third party. Any stickers or seals attached to an unworn or recently serviced watch must not be removed or tampered with. In the event that they are we will not accept the watch back for refund or exchange. Please examine the Goods thoroughly to ensure you are completely satisfied with the product before wearing.
3. In the event that Goods are returned by you following a refused sale, packaging and insurance will be your responsibility. MWJ 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 all packaging, paperwork, links, user manual, service papers and box etc as supplied originally by MWJ ) 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 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 to a maximum of £12 (although this may be reviewed on a case by case basis) provided you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us with a copy receipt.
8. If you are sending your watch in for a service and are based within the UK, we will return your watch to you once the work is completed by Royal Mail's Special Delivery™ and postage will be at your cost (£18.00 unless advised differently). 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.
9. If we receive a watch for service work that is quoted but not proceeded, then a return postage cost of £18.00 will apply plus £70 for our onward and return post packing and insurance, analytics and raising and communicating the quotation for any necessary or optional works if you are based in the UK. This payment is to be paid prior to us sending the watch to the service facility. If the work is proceeded then the £70 is included in the price quoted. 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 plus up to £70 for our onward and return post packing and insurance, analytics and raising and communicating the quotation for any necessary or optional works. Again, if the work is proceeded the £70 is included in the price quoted.
10. If you are based in the UK and have a valid claim against your warranty, we will reimburse you with
    the cost of returning 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). We will charge for postage, packaging, insurance and all other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs incurred for work carried out under warranty if you are based outside of the UK. In all cases, you remain responsible for ensuring that you pack your watch appropriately to prevent damage during transit. YOU MUST CONTACT MWJ PRIOR TO RETURNING ANY WATCH UNDER WARRANTY SO WE CAN ADVISE THE SAFEST METHOD AND HOW TO ADDRESS THE PARCEL.
11. 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.

6. you may ask us to replace the Goods, though you acknowledge that given the nature of the Goods that we sell, we may not be able to source a suitable replacement, and we are under no obligation to replace the Goods where this impossible or imposes costs on us that are 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 a refund or repair subject to the terms set out in this clause 11;
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 are 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, 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 if the relevant Goods (including Paperwork, links, User Manual Services papers and box as applicable) are returned after 6 months of delivery.

11. We reserve our rights to reduce any remedies under clause 11(d) if Paperwork is missing or damaged.

15. Given our reliance at times on third parties and a world-wide shortage of watchmakers, you acknowledge that a reasonable time for completion of a repair may extend to several months for Events Outside Our Control, for example where manufacturer involvement is necessary to carry out the repair (including in the sourcing of parts).
16. If you buy several Goods from us as part of the same Order, and only some of these Goods are Faulty, you may return the Faulty Goods in accordance with this clause 11, but this does not entitle you to return other Goods which are not Faulty.

15. When a credit note is issued it is valid for three months and may be used against any item that we have in stock in the same category ie new or preowned. If for any valid reason you choose to return an item purchased with a credit note, another credit note will be issued. When selecting your purchase:
    
    If your credit note exceeds the purchase price of the stock item, no change will be given for the unused portion of the credit note. If you have a valid reason to return this item, another credit note will be issued to the value of the original credit note.
    
    Where your credit note is less than the purchase price of the stock item, you must pay the outstanding payment balance. If you have a valid reason to return this item, another credit note will be issued for the original credit note amount and only the outstanding payment balance will be refunded back in the manner in which it was originally paid.
