Conclusion of Contract

The contract shall be concluded upon handover of the goods in our shop, once we have confirmed your order by way of an express declaration of acceptance in writing or via email or have sent the ordered goods to a delivery address specified by you upon your request.

Place of Performance, Handover, Delivery and Delivery Time

You may collect and pay for the goods you have ordered at our shop. Hence, the place of performance for all mutual obligations shall be our shop.
Upon request, we shall send the goods to a delivery address specified by you. In that event, we shall hand over the goods to the carrier within one working day after receipt of the purchase price and a corresponding notification. After that, delivery time within Germany amounts to up to four additional working days and seven additional working days within the EU, unless subject to delays in delivery caused by force majeure. The delivery is fully insured.
In the event that a certain item is no longer available, we are entitled to rescinding our contractual obligation. In that case, we shall immediately notify you that the particular item is not available any longer and will, if applicable, refund any purchase price already paid without any undue delay.

Fulfilment of Payment Obligations

The following applies regarding financial obligations: The buyer’s obligation to pay the purchase price is fulfilled once we have received payment of the full amount and the full amount is at our own disposal. All transfers must be made in Euro. In special cases, deviating payment terms may be arranged upon subject to individual agreement.
We shall comply with our obligation to return payments by transferring the full amount owed in Euro to the bank account specified by you. In the event of payments to and from countries outside of the Euro area, price differences may occur as a consequence of currency fluctuations. Any potential losses as a consequence of such fluctuations will be borne by you.

Prices

All prices are indicated in Euro without exception and include the statutory value added tax applicable in Germany (as the case may be) and other price components, plus a flat shipping rate. The prices relate to the respective items on display and in accordance with the description, but do not comprise any additional content, accessories or decoration.
Shipment to countries outside the EU may be subject to additional customs duties or other charges, which may vary from country to country and shall be paid by the customer. Please contact your local customs office for further information regarding any such charges.

Shipping Costs

For dispatch within Germany, the flat shipping rate amounts to:

• free if the value of the goods does not exceed EUR 10,000,
• EUR 100 if the value of the good exceeds EUR 10,000 and up to EUR 25,000 and
• EUR 200 if the value of the goods exceeds EUR 25.000

For dispatch to other countries in the European Union, the flat shipping rate amounts to:

• EUR 100 if the value of the goods does not exceed‚ EUR 10,000,
• EUR 200 if the value of the good exceeds EUR 10,000 and up to EUR 25,000 and
• If the value of the goods exceeds EUR 25,000, shipping costs will be calculated separately.

For dispatch to countries outside of the European Union, shipping costs will also be calculated separately.

Reservation of Title, Offsetting, Right of Retention

(1) For consumers, we reserve title to the purchased items until the invoice amount has been paid in full. If you are a merchant exercising your commercial or self-employed professional activity, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, we reserve title to the purchased items until all due payments in connection with the business relationship with the buyer have been made. The corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.

(2) You shall only be entitled to any offsetting rights provided your counter-claims have been legally established, are undisputed or acknowledged by us or are based on defects of the purchased item in respect of which we are asserting payment with our claim. Moreover, you shall only be entitled to any rights of retention provided and to the extent that your counter-claim is based on one and the same contractual relationship.

(3) If the customer is in default of his payment obligations vis-à-vis us, all existing claims fall due immediately.

Upon cancellation of this contract, we are obliged to reimburse you without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the date on which we received your cancellation notice regarding this contract for all payments we have received from you, including shipping costs (except for any additional costs incurred because you chose a different type of shipment than the cheapest standard shipping option offered by us).

Warranty and Guarantee Conditions

Used watches often fail to be water-proof. We did not check whether the watches are water-proof, and this feature is regularly not covered by warranty. The above shall not apply in case a used watch is expressly described as water-proof in the product description.

Despite comprehensive quality checks it cannot be completely ruled out that one of our products is defective In that case, the statutory warranty regulations shall apply, unless specified otherwise hereinafter: Within the context of the sales of used objects to consumers, we shall only be liable for defects that occur within one year after commencement of the statutory limitation period; the statutory limitation period is not affected by this. Within the context of sales to customers other than consumers, warranty claims shall expire one year after commencement of the statutory limitation period.

In case delivered goods exhibit obvious transport damage or obvious material or production defects, please immediately notify us or the carrier’s personnel delivering the goods. Failure to report such damage or defects has no impact on your statutory claims, though.
To the extent that we grant an express seller guarantee, the details derive from the guarantee conditions enclosed with the respective goods delivered. Such guarantee claims persist regardless of your statutory claims and rights. In the event of a justified complaint or notification of defect or damage, we shall reimburse you for any potential shipping costs incurred. In the event that your complaint turns out not to be justified, you are obliged to bear the costs for ensured shipping of the goods.

Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

The contract shall be governed by German law alone (ruling out any references to other legal systems and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods – CISG). Regarding contracts with consumers who have their domicile or habitual residence in the EU, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, irrespective of the present choice of law, those provisions shall remain applicable which may not be deviated from by agreement under the law which would be applicable without the present choice of law.

Regarding contracts with consumers who have their domicile and habitual residence in other countries, the provisions of German and European law on the statutory right of cancellation are waived.

Regarding contracts with merchants, legal entities under public law or a special fund under public law and with individuals who have no general place of jurisdiction in the EU, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the exclusive place of jurisdiction and performance shall be our headquarters in Munich.
