All prices displayed for products available on www.elliotbrownwatches.com are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are stated in pounds sterling. These prices are exclusive of delivery charges. The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered (less any promotional discount, if applicable) and the delivery charges.

Promotional discount

We do offer promotional discounts to members of certain organisations. If you are lucky enough to have received one, please enter the code within the applicable box on the website order page, which will automatically update the price of the product ordered. Please note, promotional codes are not available to redeem on special projects and custom builds.

Order

You will receive an email acknowledgment confirming receipt of your order shortly after its submission by you. However, please note that this does not constitute an acceptance of your order. A contract between us shall not be formed until we send a confirmation email declaring the dispatch of your order.

Payment

We accept most major credit/debit cards and also PayPal. All credit and debit cards are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

Delivery time & import taxes

We will deliver your order in accordance with the delivery option selected by you during the order process. Products will be sent to the delivery address provided by you in a timely manner, however the time it takes for delivery shall not form the essence of the contract.

If your delivery address is outside the UK, you may have to pay import duties and taxes, which is levied once a shipment reaches your country. You must meet any additional charges for customs clearance. Please contact your local customs office for further information.

Please note international shipments may, from time to time, be subject to cross border inspections by customs authorities.

Guarantee

Our watches come with a 5-year warranty. If your watch breaks or develops a problem within 5 years from the date of purchase because of defective materials or poor workmanship we will put it right for you free of charge.

Our watch straps come with a 12-month warranty.

Fair wear and tear is not covered under the warranty, however we do offer a repair service if your watch or strap needs some love. Note: The keepers on leather and rubber straps have to be thin and unobtrusive to function properly and being positioned under the wrist they are naturally more susceptible to abrasion and damage if not looked after. If you care for them properly, they will last for years but if you tear them or rub them on something mildly abrasive every day so they physically wear down – that’s fair wear and tear.

Returns & exchanges

If you would like to return your watch or strap for a refund or exchange, you can do so within 30 days of receipt. It must be unworn, and in perfect condition with all its original packaging and paperwork intact.

Legal title

The legal title to the products and the risk in the products will pass to you on delivery of the products.

Claims

Claims arising from damage, delay or partial loss of the products in transit must be made in writing to us here at Elliot Brown within 7 days of the delivery. You shall afford reasonable opportunity to allow us to investigate any claim. You shall promptly return the products to us being the subject of a claim, if requested by us, for examination.

Liability

We do not accept any liability for any errors and/or omissions contained in our website and reserve the right to change information, prices, specifications of listed products and services at any time, without notice.

If an error is discovered in the price of products that you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible. We will be under no obligation to fulfil and order for a product or service that was advertised at the incorrect price.

The products sold on our website are provided for domestic and consumer use. We do not accept any liability for any indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of data, loss of income or profit, loss of damage to property and/or loss from any claims of third parties arising out of the use of any products or services purchased.

We have no liability to you for any delay in the delivery of products ordered by you or any other matters to the extent that the delay is due to any event outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, flood, fire, labour disputes, strikes, lock outs, riots, civil commotion, malicious damage, explosion, governmental actions and other similar events.

We take care to prevent internet fraud and ensure that any data collected from you is stored in full compliance with GDPR legislation as securely and safely as possible.

We shall not be liable for any injury (other than death or personal injury) damage or loss, including consequential customer loss whether this arises from a breach of duty of contract or in any other way.

Nothing in these terms and conditions will exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or that of our servants, agents or employees.
