a. If you would like to sell your watch to us, you will need to provide us with details of your watch, including its model, make, and condition, by either entering details on the “Sell Your Watch” page on our website or by navigating through our catalogue on the “Sell Your Watch” page to find the watch you wish to sell.
b. Please provide information about your watch fully and accurately. Any quotation, while 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 that cannot be relied upon by you.
c. You will then receive 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, the 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 North Jewellers 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. You may purchase a watch from us in part-exchange for 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.
