  4. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

    1. If you wish to make a change to the services or products you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply, or anything else that would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change as we may have to suspend the supply of the product to you.

  5. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

    1. Minor changes to the services. We may change the services to implement minor technical adjustments or improvements, for example when a brand has made a technical update to the movement in your watch and requires us to carry out the upgrade free of charge as part of the standard service procedure. These changes will not affect the use of your watch.

  6. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

    1. Delivery costs. The cost of delivery of the watch to the company is covered by the customer. The Watch Bench covers the cost of return delivery once the work is completed.

    2. When we will provide the products. 

      1. If the products are services. We will begin the services on the date we receive your watch. The estimated completion date for the services is as told to you during the order process.

    3. Delivery. We shall determine the packaging and method of delivery of the products to your delivery address as specified by you during the order process. We will provide you with an email on the date the product is dispatched. If you do not receive the product by the date set out in our email you must notify us as soon as possible and in any event no later than seven days after the estimated date of delivery.

    4. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

    5. When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.

    1. How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us as soon as possible. You can telephone our customer service team at 07926 935202 or write to us at info@thewatchbench.co.uk.

  8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

    1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product will be advised to you on application of your service.

    2. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

    3. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by bank transfer or PayPal. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

      1. For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.

      2. For services, you must pay for the services once we have notified you of the cost.

  9. WARRANTY

    1. The scope of our warranty. We will rectify any defects arising from any service provided by us provided you report such defects to us as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 10 days from the date of the initial fault.

    2. We reserve the right to invalidate the warranty if repairs or inspections are performed by persons not authorised by us to take such action.

    3. Provision of the warranty will be free of charge. We will decide in our absolute discretion whether provision of the warranty will be in the form of a repair or the replacement of a part of the watch. Evidence of purchase must be provided and any replaced parts pass into our ownership.

    4. Limit of warranty. The provision of services under warranty neither extends the terms of the warranty nor sets in motion a new warranty period. The provisions of this warranty do not extend to:

      1. Defects caused by general wear and tear, accident, negligence, or lack of care; or

      2. Component parts that are expected to require periodic replacement; or

      3. Instances where a movement or other parts are obsolete and there are no substitutes.
