Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply to the use of this website and by accessing this website and/or placing an order, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions you may not use or access this Website. All other terms and conditions including those in any order submitted by you are expressly excluded and shall have no effect.

Definitions

In these conditions:
"we" and "us" mean Rotary Watches Limited trading as Rotary Watches;
"working day" means a day in the standard working week Monday to Friday; and
"circumstances outside our control" include circumstances resulting (directly or indirectly) from any strike, lockout, fire, flood, inability to get products, materials or services, breakdown, delays by suppliers or carriers, government acts or regulations or any other force or event beyond our control. These are only examples. Other circumstances may also be outside our control.

Description of Products

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions, images and prices of Products appearing on the Website (Products) are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered into the system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information including Product Descriptions appearing on the Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order.

Placing an order and forming a Contract

When you place an online order for the Products you have put in your "shopping basket" you are:

Offering to buy them at the price and on the terms in this website; and
warranting that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and are at least 18 years old.
We will send you an e-mail acknowledging that we have received your order, but please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been despatched (the Despatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation to say we agree to sell them and to confirm that we are able to use the delivery method you asked for. If we reject your order for any reason (see below), we will tell you immediately online.

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch we have confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.

We will not accept orders:

- If we do not have stock available to send to you at the time shown in this website.
- If you cannot, or are not willing to, pay by one of the types of payment methods listed in this website or if your card issuer will not confirm the payment.
- If you are under 18 years old.
- We reserve the right to choose not to accept any order.

You can only order using this website at the prices and on the terms within it.

Consumer Rights

To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Product that has been engraved, personalised or altered at your request, or which you have ordered as a bespoke item under our “Build Your Own Watch” catalogue.

Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Despatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

Prices and discounts

All prices in this website are quoted in GBP, USD or EURO depending on your region. The total value, which includes all UK taxes and delivery charges, is outlined in your copy of the invoice.

Please note that the price listed in the Despatch Confirmation as the total of your order is always the value that you’ll be charged. If you have further queries about the prices listed on this Rotary Watches website please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

We intend all prices shown in this website to be the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) for the Products. If we have made any mistake in the price of goods you have ordered, we will advise you and you or we may cancel your order at any time before we send the goods to you. You may re-order the Products at their correct RRP.

The price for carriage will vary according to the weight of items ordered and location of delivery. The shipping charges are automatically calculated when items are added to your basket.

These prices include United Kingdom VAT to the extent chargeable but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide. If you believe that you are entitled to reclaim VAT from HM Revenue & Customs, it is your responsibility to action this.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Despatch Confirmation.

Our website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when despatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before despatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Despatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.

We only charge your credit or debit card when we have your order items in stock, ready for dispatch.

Import Duty

Products from our website may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.

In the event of a quality failure, Rotary Watches will, at their sole discretion, choose to either repair or replace the faulty components/watch.
This guarantee shall be deemed void, should the watch have any work carried out to it by an unauthorised person.
Rotary Watches recommend that you return your watch for a service every 24 months to ensure that the longevity of your watch can be maintained.

Should your Rotary watch require servicing then please send it to our Service and Repair Centre by accessing the Online portal at rotarywatches.com and following the instructions.

You may not transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, without our prior written consent.
We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Contract.
However, if you are buying a Product as a gift for a third party, then the contractual rights that you have pursuant to the Contract will remain with you. However, it is permitted for the donor of the gift to register the Guarantee rather than yourself as buyer of the Product. Save as aforesaid and without detracting from the right of registered Guarantee holder to enforce such Guarantee, the provisions of this Contract may not be enforced by third parties and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to this Contract.

Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that circumstances outside our control continue, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring such circumstances to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the said circumstances outside our control.

Waiver

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these Terms & Conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

No waiver by us of any of these Terms & Conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with the Notices section below.

Severability

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Entire Agreement

These Terms & Conditions and any document expressly referred to in them [including the terms of the Guarantee] represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing.

Our Right to Vary these Terms & Conditions

We have the right to revise and amend these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system’s capabilities.

You will be subject to the policies and Terms & Conditions in force at the time that you order Products from us, unless any change to those policies or these Terms & Conditions is required to be made by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the changes to those policies or these terms and conditions before we send you the Despatch Confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the Terms & Conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you of the Products).
