CONTRACT

For the conclusion of a contract with the Company (e.g. purchase of goods) through the Store, registration at the Store (using a “user name” and “password”) is not required. During the purchase process the user will be asked to login (if already registered) or to indicate the details to which the goods will be shipped. If the user wishes, he/she can either enter a password, and thus his/her details will be stored for future transactions, or he/she can choose not to enter a password, in which case he/she will have to re-enter the relevant details in future transactions.

 

Registration only requires a full name, mailing address, contact telephone number and e-mail address. This information remains strictly confidential, in accordance with the detailed information in the paragraph of this document concerning Personal Data.

 

Orders are placed in writing via the Internet by filling in and sending the relevant form available in the Shop. The contract is completed at the moment when the user receives an update of the order status with the indication “It has been sent”. Other updates on the status of the order are displayed on the User’s screen and sent by e-mail to the contact e-mail address registered by the User. During the processing of each registered order, the stock availability of the ordered products is confirmed. In the event that the availability or delivery time differs from that indicated on the page of the goods, the user will receive a relevant notification.

 

Before sending the order the user, in addition to knowing the terms of this, the user is aware of the following information:

 

a. That the contracting party of the user is the Company, the full details of which are stated herein,

b. The main characteristics of the goods ordered,

c. The total price of the goods, including VAT and any other charges and, where applicable, all additional charges for shipping, delivery or postage and any other expenses,

d. The arrangements for payment, delivery, performance, the time within which the Company undertakes to deliver the goods,

e. That the User may submit any complaint in any way, in particular by telephone at 2651113741 or by e-mail at support@watchhouse.gr and that the Company, after examining the complaint, will contact the User as soon as possible,

f. that, given the use of the Internet as a means of distance communication for the conclusion of the contract, there is no charge to the User by the Company for the use of the Shop,

g. That the User has the right of withdrawal in accordance with the conditions, deadline and procedures for exercising the right set out below,

h. That the Company shall be liable for actual defects and lack of agreed qualities in accordance with Articles 534 et seq. of the Civil Code and that the Company shall provide further commercial warranty and after-sales support services to the User, in accordance with the terms stated below,

 

The Company shall not be liable and shall not cover any differences in the prices of products purchased from a physical store of the Company and the User subsequently found out that the price was lower in the Store or vice versa.

 

Any product offers are valid until stocks are exhausted.

The Company is not responsible for any errors in the characteristics, photos and prices of products listed in the Store and cannot ensure that there will be no errors from any cause when entering and/or updating the characteristics and/or price of a product. For this reason, in the context of good faith, if the User finds that a good is offered at an unusually low or high price in relation to its market value, before proceeding with the order, he/she must contact the Company by e-mail at support@watchhouse.gr.

 

The Company provides the possibility of ordering goods available through our Store. The User has the possibility to select through the Store the good(s) he/she wishes to purchase as well as the store of receipt of the purchase product by paying the purchase price by cash or card, upon receipt of the goods at the physical store he/she has selected. This order will be valid from the moment the user receives an e-mail informing him/her of the dates of receipt of the order by the physical store and for as long as indicated in this e-mail. If the user does not come to the store and pay the price within the aforementioned period, the order will be cancelled, without the Company being liable for this reason. If the user abuses this option (e.g. repeated orders without receipt from the store), the Company may reject and refuse the order.

 

In accordance with Directive 2013/11/EC, which was incorporated in Greece with the KYA 70330/2015, the possibility of electronic resolution of consumer disputes through the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure is now provided for in the entire European Union.

NVOICING – PAYMENT OF THE PRICE

Users may be invoiced either by a retail receipt, delivered upon delivery-receipt of the goods, or by an invoice, if the user is a freelancer or a commercial enterprise.

 

For product shipments within Greece, the user can choose as payment method cash on delivery, bank deposit, credit card or PayPal. In the case of cash on delivery, the user is obliged to pay the total amount to the post office or to the courier employee who will deliver the parcel. In the case of the credit card option, a corresponding charge will be made to the user’s card account.

 

Transactions made by credit card through the Store will appear on the user’s credit card account with the reason “WATCHHOUSE ZIOULOS”. If it is proven that a third party’s credit card has been used fraudulently through no fault of the User, this charge may be cancelled upon request to the bank that issued the credit card, which must investigate the complaint. For this reason, any aggrieved third party must, as soon as it becomes aware that such an event has occurred, inform the issuing bank in order to cancel the credit card and prevent its use by unauthorised persons.

 

In both cases, a refund will be made if the user decides to return the product. In cases of cash on delivery the user receives a day’s cheque, in cases of purchase via credit card the card is credited immediately, while in cases of purchase via PayPal, the money is credited to the user’s Paypal account.

 

Shipments of products outside Greece are made only by courier and credit card charge or via PayPal.

 

 

DELIVERY – TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND RISK

Goods can be shipped by the Company anywhere, to the place indicated by the user in the order form. Shipping costs depend on the total weight of the order, the shipping method and the country of destination.

 

The exact shipping costs are automatically displayed in the shopping cart and there is a choice of alternative shipping or pick-up methods.

 

The Company will make every effort to dispatch the products, within Greece, within 1-3 working days (Monday to Friday) for deliveries by courier and within 8-10 days for deliveries by post. Deliveries outside Greece are made only by courier and the time required varies depending on the country of delivery. The maximum delivery time cannot exceed 30 days.

 

The Company shall not be liable for delays in performance (including delivery) due to circumstances beyond the Company’s control or due to force majeure and therefore the Company is entitled to an extension of time for performance. Force Majeure means any event outside the Company’s sphere of control which could not have been foreseen and prevented and which results in the Company being unable to perform, in whole or in part, any of its obligations under the Contract. If such events last for more than one month, the contract may be terminated by either party without compensation.

 

In any case of delay in delivery beyond the agreed time, the user must request the Company to effect delivery within an additional period of time commensurate with the circumstances and only if the goods are not delivered within this additional period of time, the user is entitled to terminate the contract. The above shall not apply if delivery within the agreed period is important, taking into account all the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of the contract, or if the user has informed the Company, prior to the conclusion of the contract, that delivery is required on or by a certain date. In such cases, if the Company fails to deliver the goods at the time agreed with the user, the consumer is entitled to terminate the contract immediately. Once the contract has been terminated, the Company must return, without undue delay, all money paid under the contract.

Ownership of the goods is transferred after full payment of the price. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods shall pass to the user when he or a third party designated by him and other than the carrier has acquired physical possession of the goods. However, the risk shall pass to the user upon delivery to a carrier if the user has requested that the goods be transported by a carrier of his choice and this has not been offered by the Company (without prejudice to the user’s rights against such carrier).

 

 

WARRANTY

In the event of the Company’s liability for an actual defect or lack of a promised quality of the goods, the user is entitled, at his option, a) to demand, without charge, the correction or replacement of the goods with another, unless such action is impossible or requires disproportionate costs, b) to request a reduction in the price or c) to withdraw from the sales contract, except in the case of a minor actual defect. In order for a property to be considered as agreed, it must be agreed in writing. If the buyer chooses to have the product corrected or replaced, the Company must make the correction or replacement within a reasonable time. The above rights of the user shall expire after two years for movable things.

 

The Company provides a commercial guarantee of good functioning and free repair on the proprietary service, which ranges, depending on the goods, up to 2 years from the acquisition of physical possession of the goods. The warranty offered on each product is indicated in its detailed description. After the warranty period has expired, repair services are offered at very reasonable charges for the lifetime of the product. The Company does not provide warranty, nor does it guarantee protection for suitability of sold product for any particular purpose.

 

The commercial warranty covers free repair of the goods (labour and spare parts) by normal use. It does not cover damage caused by incorrect handling, force majeure and generally damaging external factors. The user shall bear the cost of transport to and from the repair workshop, whose visit to the user’s premises shall be charged extra. The guarantee does not apply in the event of intervention by an unauthorised technician. Please note that WATCHHOUSE is not responsible for any damage or deterioration of the products after use and in no case is WATCHHOUSE obliged to replace them. Only the dealership itself is responsible for product replacement and any form of product repair.

The User may, within 14 calendar days of delivery of the goods to the User (or delivery to a carrier chosen by the User other than the one offered by the Company), withdraw from the contract concluded with the Company (i.e., for all goods of each order). The Company will in this case refund to the User all the money received from him (by crediting his debit/credit card account or via PayPal, as long as he used it for the transaction, in any case, no costs will be charged for such refund, including, where applicable, delivery costs (excluding additional costs due to any choice of the User to use a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by the Company), without any unjustified reason. The user must, in this case, return the goods to the Company by any means of his choice and at his own expense, without undue delay and in any case within 14 calendar days from the day he declares that he is withdrawing from the contract. The user shall only be liable for any reduction in the value of the goods resulting from handling that was not necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and function of the goods. Simply put, the goods must be in such a condition that allows resale, therefore you may try the goods, but not use them.The special WATCHHOUSE company label and the product labels have not been removed or damaged in any way. No parts have been removed from the bracelet to fit the user’s wrist or modified in any way. For reference, if you purchased a watch, you can try them on at home, but not wear them outdoors. The returned goods must, in addition, be exactly as they were before the sale with the replacement tag worn on , in their complete original packaging (box, nylon, foam, which should not have any tears or damage/alterations) and with all the contents of the original packaging (instruction, features and warranty forms, connection cables, installation software, etc.). The Company is entitled to delay the refund until it has received the goods back or until the user provides the Company with proof that he has sent back the goods, whichever occurs first. The user may return the goods himself to the Company’s head office or any physical store of the Company. Goods that were sold with an additional gift must be returned with the additional gift, otherwise the value of the gift will be deducted from the amount returned. Otherwise, the applicable provisions of Law no. 2251/1994 on withdrawal.

 

For all Smartwatch products in case of activation, the return of the product cannot be accepted.

 

Alternatively, if the user does not wish to withdraw from the contract, he/she is entitled, within the same withdrawal period (14 days from delivery, etc.), to replace any goods of the order with other goods in the same condition, without, in this case, being charged (the user) with new shipping costs.

 

The above applies to orders placed through the online store, by telephone or any other means of written communication, even if you have chosen as a delivery method pickup from a specific store. For purchases made through our network of stores, you can only be replaced with another product and not refunded.

The rights of cancellation, withdrawal or replacement should not be confused with the case of defective goods, as these are covered by their respective warranties and their replacement is the responsibility of the brands’ official agencies.
