b. Please provide information about your watch fully and accurately. Any quotation, whilst given in good faith, is derived from a combination of factors including without limitation the information supplied by you. The provision of inaccurate, false or misleading information by you may result in an inaccurate valuation which cannot be relied upon by you.
c. You will then receive either an e-mail with an initial valuation.
d. Any valuations are provided on a “subject to contract” basis and are not legally binding. We reserve the right to amend or withdraw the valuation at any time without liability to you.
e. If you are happy with the initial valuation, then you will need to arrange for the watch to be posted to our offices in accordance with the clause governing “Delivery” below.
f. On receipt of your watch at our offices, purchase of your watch is subject to due diligence checks including a search through The Watch Register (a subsidiary of the Art Loss Register) and also to an inspection. Please note: should your watch match an item on The Watch Register’s database of stolen watches then Bloombar Watches will be legally bound to secure the watch and, where necessary, inform law enforcement. In this event, no payment will be made and you will be required to contact The Watch Register directly to resolve the issue. The Watch Register will offer its assistance in negotiating an amicable settlement with any good faith holders. As soon as a clear check result is received, an inspection of your watch and any accompanying paperwork will then be carried out. We will then contact you with a final valuation for your watch. Notwithstanding any such inspection or testing, you shall remain fully responsible for the items, and any inspection or testing shall not reduce or otherwise affect your obligations under the contract, including without limitation those listed under “Your Undertakings” below.
g. A revised valuation may be offered where: (i) the watch does not fully comply with the information provided during the valuation process; (ii) the condition is such that it has a substantial impact on the value of the watch; (iii) other relevant factors not disclosed affect the valuation; and/or (iv) for any other reason.
h. If you wish to proceed with a sale and accept our final valuation, we will arrange to pay you the agreed sum by bank transfer (see “Payment” below). The contract between us will only be formed when you have accepted the final price quoted and the sum has been paid. We will then send you an e-mail confirming when payment has been made, the sum paid and the payment method.
i. You may purchase a watch from us in part-exchange of your current watch. The sale of your existing watch to us and your purchase of a watch from us shall be treated as separate contracts with the relevant terms and conditions applicable to each. In terms of the watch that you are selling to us in part-exchange, you are subject to these “Sell Your Watch” terms and conditions. In terms of the watch that you purchase from us, you are subject to our “Buy a Watch” terms and conditions. The contract between us under these terms and conditions will only be formed when you have accepted the final price quoted. For further information, please see “Part-Exchanges” below.
j. Please note that if you visit our office in order to sell your watch, we will need you to produce two forms of original identification. For further information, please see “Identification” below. If you sell in person, we will provide you with a quotation and, if this is accepted by you, the contract will be formed on your signature of our standard receipt.

If you need to refund any sum to us, this will also be in Pounds Sterling. You will be responsible for the exchange rate and you are advised that refunds may be affected by such exchange rate.
b. We will make payment to the bank account advised by you. Please note that you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your bank account details. We will not accept liability if you provide us with inaccurate bank details.
c. Payment will be made by Banks Automated Clearance System (BACS) transfer and cleared funds may take approximately 7 Working Days to arrive after payment has become due.

In this case, payment will not fall due. If we have already made payment, you must refund us the full purchase price paid within 7 days of receipt of notice from us. If the sale involved a part-exchange, please see “Part-Exchanges” below.
f. Any outstanding monies owed to us, including without limitation any servicing costs agreed between us, will be deducted from any payment to you.
g. The price quoted excludes import duty or other taxes, fees and charges (see “Customs” below).
h. You will pay all amounts due under these terms and conditions in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you will not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

i. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we provide you with an incorrect valuation. If for some reason an error in the valuation quoted has occurred, we will rectify the valuation as soon as reasonably practicable after notification of the mistake. If the valuation error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we do not have to buy the items from you at the incorrect price. No liability whatsoever can be accepted by us for accidental mistakes or errors caused by system failures.

Once the loss has been accepted and the supplier’s insurance company have completed their investigation, we (Bloombar Watches) will be reimbursed for the loss and can then refund the buyer. Refunds will not be made until the insurance company have completed their claims process and we (Bloombar Watches) have been paid.

b. Purchases made online may only be exchanged or refunded within 14 days of purchase if they are in an unused condition. Goods purchased online will come with a tamper-proof returns sticker which allows for the Goods to be tried on and examined for any faults. Returns will not be accepted if this sticker has been damaged or removed so please examine the Goods thoroughly to ensure you are completely satisfied with the product before removing this. The watch must be returned in exactly the same condition as advertised and with the same accessories and paperwork/warranty cards as when you received it. You can return your watch by post or in person at our London offices. Please allow 7 working days for refunds to reach your account.

You can return your watch by post or in person at our London offices. Please allow 7 working days for refunds to reach your account.
5.1. FAULTY WATCHES
If you have received a faulty watch or your watch is covered by our 24 month warranty and is not operating to the advertised standard or is not running within acceptable parameters of timing then we will arrange for the watch to be collected from you, the issue rectified and the watch returned to you as soon as possible. The watch must be returned in exactly the same condition and with the same accessories and paperwork/warranty cards as when you received it. If when inspected by our watchmakers, it is deemed that the watch was damaged or dropped by the purchaser or that it was advertised not to be waterproof and water ingress led to the damage of the watch, then the buyer voids his/her right to a refund. In the unlikely event that we are unable to repair a faulty watch or it is deemed not financially viable to repair, then a refund or credit will be offered upon safe return of the watch to us. If requested, we will do our best to source a replacement watch however, this is not guaranteed.
Most watches sold by us are covered by a 24 month comprehensive warranty or manufacturers warranty. In the event of a mechanical fault, please ensure that you notify and gain approval from us in writing before taking your watch to a 3rd party or manufacturer approved repairer, as this will void your warranty with us. In the event you decide to take your watch to a repairer or watchmaker without prior approval from Bloombar Watches, we will not be held liable for any costs you may incur.
6. CUSTOMS
If you are based outside of the UK, you may also have to pay export duty or other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs or other authorities. You must comply with all laws and regulations of your country.
