may result in factrorial required repair. Geltier Watch Company receive
all products upon warranty claim. If our technician estimates that the
product require factory-mesurements for further assessment, we may need
to send the part to a specific subdivision. Such occurance will not

Warranty
We
provide warranty for all our watches in accordance with our warranty
terms and conditions. Warranty period begins at the day of purchase. We
offer 2 years of warranty on errors of manufacturing, materials and
design. Please take the time to read and understand at our Warranty
page, before placing a purchase order. There you will find all
prerequisite information about warranty coverage. Your warranty is
personal and thereby will be registered to your current postal address.
To ensure your warranty remains valid, please make sure that you inform
us of any changes to your contact details without delay, including your
full name, postal address, email address and telephone number in a
circumstance of resitential change. If the product being purchased with
the intention of being a gift, we require the contact details of the
intended recipient within 30 days of purchase. Transfer of warranty can
only be performed once per watch. Any information submitted after that
will invalidate transfer of warranty. Note, that warranty can only be
held by one person. Any product that has been gifted and warranty
successfully transfered to recipient does not longer apply to the
original customer. Warranty period starts on the day of purchase.
The
warranty does not cover theft or loss of your watch, normal
wear-and-tear, water damage caused to your watch by accidents,
mishandling, mistreatment, negligence, (including, without limitation,
damage caused by failure to follow manufacturer and/or our
instructions). In particular, wear of the watch strap, glass, clasp and
cosmetic damage are not covered by our warranty. If your watch is
returned to us due to a valid claim against our warranty whilst it is
still protected by the manufacturer warranty, we reserve the right to
proceed with the works through the manufacturer warranty in the first
instance. Your warranty will be invalidated in the event that a third
party carries out any tests or work on your watch (including, without
limitation, dismantling your watch to carry out an inspection) without
our prior knowledge and consent. No warranty is provided for failures
resulting from misusage by the wearer such as unauthorized disassembly
or modification of the watch. Damage to the watch caused by accidental
falls, physical and natrural forces, chemicals och other types of wear
not associated with responsible usage of the watch. Personal faults or
third party misusage inducing damage such as cracks, scratches or damage
to peripheral components are not covered by warranty.
We have the
final decision on all claims against our warranty. If any dispute
arises in connection with the warranty, we reserve the right to instruct
an independent third party watchmaker nominated by us to determine the
issues in dispute, though are under no obligation to do so. The
conclusion in the report to be provided by the third party will be
binding as between the parties. Please note that the recommendations of
the manufacturer are expressly excluded for the purposes of our
warranty, where such recommendations conflict with our advice. If you
are based outside of the European Union, you may have to pay import duty
or other taxes, fees and charges applied by customs or other
authorities of your country for work done under warranty, particularly
if you do not correctly complete the relevant declarations. Please note
that you must securely deliver the watch to us as advised after
receiving instructions from support during warranty claim. You are
responsible for adequate insurance, whether for the health check or to
claim against your warranty or for any other reason, which shall be your
responsibility and at your cost unless stated otherwise. We will charge
for postage and packaging and all other taxes, fees and charges applied
by customs incurred for work carried out under warranty. If you want to
make a warranty claim on one or more of products, make sure you have
read all information required before contacting us.
Process of delivery
Delivery
of the watch will be completed when we deliver the watch to the address
given in your order or when the watch is collected from us. If you
arrange for another courier to collect the watch, delivery will be
completed when the watch is collected from us. This means that we will
not be responsible if the watch is lost or damaged in the course of
transit. The watch will be your responsibility from the completion of
delivery. When you enter into a finance agreement, the date of purchase
means the date we receive the final balance payment in full and cleared
funds from the finance company.
Water resistance and behaviour
All
our watches are tested prior to sale to ensure that the advertised
water resistance is accurate. You acknowledge and accept that we will
not replace seals and/or gaskets or other parts if the Watch passes our
tests before dispatch. Where your watch is certified as water resistant
its water-resistance is ensured by a series of seals. Before any contact
with water, it is essential to ensure that the crown and pushers of
your watch are pushed in or screwed down, depending on model. When your
watch is under water, do not activate any possible push-pieces for
chronograph functions, the minute-repeater or the second time zone.
After swimming, make sure to rinse your water-resistant watch in fresh
water so as to neutralise the potentially corrosive effects of sea-water
or chlorine. The water-resistance seals of your certified water
resistant watch undergo natural deterioration due to ageing. It is
therefore recommended that you have a regular water-resistance check
performed once every year if your watch is worn during sporting
activities or frequently comes into contact with water, or once every
two years when worn in normal conditions. Never try and open the case
yourself. In the event of water or condensation appearing under the
glass, take the watch as quickly as possible to an authorized
maintenance centre to prevent further damage. Failure to succeed those
instructions will void warranty in case of water damge to your timepiece
in accordance with negligence of proper usage.
Bracelets
Our
watch bracelets will be deliverd in original factory settings. Where a
watch is advertised as having intact seals, the bracelet will not be
adjusted. If your size exceeds our standard size, extra links may be
supplied at your cost or at our discretion. If no bracelet size is
given, additional parts os customization of bracelet or parts of
bracelet will be chargable.
Faulty products
We
are under a legal duty to supply you with products that are in
conformity with the contract. As a customer you are responsible for
inspecting the product as soon as practicable after delivery and you
must inform us immediately if the products are faulty or not as
described upon delivery. You must take responsibly care of the product

links, user manual, service papers and box as applicable) promptly and
within 14 days of advising us of the relevant faulty product. On

was faulty on delivery and provided you were not made aware of the
relevant fault at the time of purchase, you will be entitled to the
following solutions:

nature of the Goods that we sell, we may not be able to source a
suitable replacement, and we are under no obligation to replace the
Goods where this is impossible or imposes costs on us that are
unreasonable, taking into account, amongst other things, the value which
the Goods would have if they conformed to the contract of sale and the
significance of the lack of conformity, in which case your remedy will
be limited to either a refund or repair subject to the terms set out in
our returns policy.
-You may ask us to repair the product, though

or more attempts, you may ask us to refund your payment less: a) any

reasonable deduction for wear and tear through use which will not exceed
US$75 (which equates to the cost of a refurbishment) if the relevant
poods (including aperwork, links, services papers and box as applicable)
are returned.
All refunds payable under this clause shall be paid
14 days of the product (including paperwork, links user manual service
papers and box as applicable) being returned to us following your
election to receive a refund. You acknowledge that the paperwork
substantially increases the value of the product and that its absence or
damage will affect the value in total. If you return the product with
missing or damaged paperwork, we will make a reasonable deduction to the
sum refunded to you not exceeding 25% of the purchase price. We reserve
our rights to reduce any solving refund under this clause if paperwork
is missing or damaged. Return postage, packaging and insurance will be
your responsibility and you must follow our reasonable instructions. We

must insure the package including all parts to its full value. You must
ensure that you pack the products appropriately to prevent damage
during transit. Any damage caused by inproper packaging on returning an
item, will result in deduced refund up to a full extent. If a returning
product is violated by the postal services, you are responsible for
report to logistic insurance. Any sum which is not covered by the postal
insurance in a stance of damage to product during transport, will not
be replaced. If insurance of transport would cover partial costs of
damage, the remaining sum will be attributed for deduction from refund.

we will refund your reasonably incurred return postage costs provided
you comply with our reasonable return instructions and you provide us
with a copy receipt. If your products are faulty on delivery and you are

of watchmakers, you acknowledge that a reasonable time for completion of
a repair may extend to several months for events outside our control,
for example where manufacturer involvement is necessary to carry out the
repair including sourcing of parts. If you buy several products from us
as part of the same order, and only some of these products are faulty,
you may return the faulty product in accordance with this, but this does
not entitle you to return other parts which are not faulty. To discuss a
problem with your order, please contact us by phone (+46) 73 413 40 20
