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.
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).
LOCAL KETTLE BROTHERS UK 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.
2. 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).
WATER RESISTANCE
1. Where your Order for Goods includes a wrist watch (‘Watch’), you should be aware that water resistant Watches are not waterproof. For example, Watches advertised as water resistant to 30 metres (100 feet/3 ATM) can only withstand splashes. All Watches sold by us are subject to our categorisation as detailed in the glossary available on our Website.
2. All our Watches are tested prior to sale to ensure that the advertised water resistance is accurate. You acknowledge and accept that we will not replace seals and/or gaskets or other parts if the Watch passes our tests before dispatch.
3. Waterproofing (or “water resistance”), are described either in metres, 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 metres 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 the 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 authorised maintenance centre to prevent further damage.
BRACELETS SIZES
11. Given the nature of our Goods, bracelet sizes may vary as they are not always supplied to us with a full accompaniment of links. A bracelet size will be requested from you 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 seals intact the bracelet will not be adjusted. Where the size exceeds our standard size, links will be supplied at your cost or at our discretion. If no bracelet size is given any additional links will be chargeable.
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.
