10. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you as a consumer

10.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking our agreement with you but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the agreement between us was made, both of us knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process. 

10.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the watch,  including the right to receive a product from us which is: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality, taking into account its age; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

10.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply watches to you as a consumer for domestic and private use and therefore, we are not liable for business losses.

11. Other important terms

11.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this if our agreement with you has not been performed in full.

11.2 You cannot transfer your rights under our agreement to someone else.

11.3 Nobody else has any rights under the provisions of our agreement with you.

11.5 If a court finds part of our agreement with you illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

11.6 Even if we delay in enforcing our agreement with you, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking our agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

11.7 Which laws apply to our agreement and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and either one of us can only bring legal proceedings in respect of the watch and our agreement relating to it, only in the English courts.

4.2 Part exchanges. You may decide to purchase a watch from us and sell your watch to us by way of part exchange.  The sale of your watch to us and the purchase of a new watch will be two separate agreements with us, governed by these terms and conditions in respect of the sale of your watch to us and our terms of sale in respect of the sale of a watch to you.  Our terms of sale can be viewed at [insert link]. If any of these terms or our term of sale are breached, we may cancel both agreements without any liability to you.

5. Our agreement with you for the sale of your watch acting as your agent

5.1 How it works.  Rather than buying your watch from you, we may agree to sell it on your behalf and in such circumstances, we will act as your agent.

5.2 Next steps.  If we agree to act as your agent, the provision set out in clauses 3.1 to clause 3.7 shall apply, save that we shall act as your agent.  We shall be entitled to sell your watch and reach a contractually binding agreement for the sale of it on our standard terms of sale without further reference to you during the agreed sale period and at a price not lower than the Final Valuation (as defined in clause 3.6).  If your watch does not sell during the agreed sale period, we shall arrange for it to be returned to you and you shall be liable to pay us (on demand) for all costs and expenses associated with the return of the watch to you, together with any other costs and expenses we have suffered or incurred by reason of acting as your agent.

Please note: during the agreed sale period, you remain responsible for your watch, even though it may be in our possession.  You agree to insure it for its full replacement value.

5.3 What happens if we sell your watch within the agreed sale period.  If we sell your watch, you will not be entitled to change your mind and ask for the watch back.  As referred to above, by agreeing to us acting as your agent, we are able to commit you to a legally binding agreement for the sale of your watch to a third party.  Once the sale of your watch has been completed, we will transfer the sale proceeds to you (less our fees, costs and commission) within 14 days, to your nominated bank account (such account must be in your name).  Time for payment shall not be of the essence. 

5.4 Our responsibilities to you as an agent.  If we act as your agent, we will use our reasonable care and skill to secure a sale of your watch. 

6. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you as a consumer

6.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking our agreement with you but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the agreement between us was made. 

6.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the watch,  including the right to receive a product from us which is: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality, taking into account its age; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

6.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only buy and sell watches from/to consumers for private use and therefore, we are not liable for business losses.

7. Other important terms

7.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this if our agreement with you has not been performed in full. If you are unhappy with the transfer, you may contact us to end our agreement with you within 7 working days.

7.2 You cannot transfer your rights under our agreement to someone else.

7.3 Nobody else has any rights under the provisions of our agreement with you. 

7.4 Delays beyond our control.  We will not be responsible for events beyond our control.  This is known as force majeure.  A force majeure event may include but is not limited to natural disaster, terrorist attack, failure of or interruption to utilities, strikes, governmental regulations or restrictions, epidemic or pandemic.  If we are delayed or prevented from performing our obligations for a force majeure reason we will contact you as soon as possible.  If the event of force majeure continues for more than 4 weeks, you will have the right to end the agreement and you may also be entitled to a full refund, depending upon the circumstances. 

7.5 If a court finds part of our agreement with you illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

7.6 Even if we delay in enforcing our agreement with you, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking our agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

7.7 Which laws apply to our agreement and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and either one of us can only bring legal proceedings in respect of the watch and our agreement relating to it, only in the English courts.
