Terms & Conditions
Returns Policy
On all new product purchases you have from the date of shipment, 30 days to evaluate your purchase. Provided it has not been damaged, used or worn (other than to try on for size) and no labels have been removed, you may return it in its original packaging for a full refund, or exchange at your discretion.
This applies to all goods EXCEPT those made-to-order (e.g. engraved bespoke items ) which will be refunded or exchanged only if defective or not conforming to details explicitly advertised on our site. This does not affect your legal rights.
Please note that we will refund our original shipping charges or the costs of your return (e.g. postage or re-import duties) only if the goods are in some way faulty. For other returns you will be responsible for all return costs, including any re-importation duties or other taxes.
We can only refund to the same card or payment source used for purchase; if this has expired, refunds may be by bank transfer or cheque in GBP only.
And note that all transactions are in UK Pounds Sterling. (Other currencies optionally displayed whilst shopping are approximate and advisory only.) Refunds will be as originally charged in UK pounds. But currency rates may have gone up or down in the meantime. So the sum refunded to your card in a foreign currency may be greater or lesser than that originally deducted, in line with exchange rate movements since. This is entirely beyond our control.
Important: if you do wish to return an item, please contact us to make arrangements before sending it.
Distance Selling
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014, a customer is allowed to return an item if they simply change their mind. A customer has the right to cancel at any time from the moment they place their online order, and up to 14 days from the day they receive the goods. The customer then has a further 14 days from the date they notify the retailer of their cancellation to return the goods. -There are exemptions to online returns which include tailor made/personalised goods.
Faulty Goods
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a customer has an early right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund. This right is limited to 30 days from the date the customer took ownership of the goods. If an item is faulty and needs to be returned, the customer does not need to pay postage costs for the return of the faulty item. If a customer is asked to return an item that arrived damaged, not as described or faulty, the retailer should refund the total cost of the return.

The Classic Watch Buyers Club Ltd. is the owner of the information collected on The Classic Watch Buyers Club's site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others.
In order to use some facilities on this website, a user must first complete a registration process. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.
We request information from the user on our order forms. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

We use outside shipping companies to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that The Classic Watch Buyers Club Ltd. is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line by our practices as well as UK and European law. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ’surfing’. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, in a locked and alarmed area. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to sales@theclassicwatchbuyersclub.com. However, we reserve the right not to reveal detailed information about our security measures, since this might itself compromise our security.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present these as optional types of communications.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy and data protection laws of the UK and EU.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries regarding our terms.
