7. WARRANTY OF GOODS
7.1 All Goods sold by us are covered by the warranty terms offered by the brand (but not us) or (as the case may be for certified pre-owned goods) the certifying brand (but not us). Please refer to the warranty card or warranty booklet or guarantee manual for the detailed warranty terms and the warranty period offered by each brand. The warranty normally does not cover bracelets, crystals, batteries, wear to the case or moisture damage (if the Goods are non-water resistant), nor does it apply if there is evidence of misuse or abuse, including defects related to servicing not carried out by authorized dealers. Goods damaged by wear and tear are not classified as a manufacturing defect. We shall not be liable for defects of the Goods once sold and/or delivered and/or picked-up. All defective Goods shall be covered by the brands under the warranty of the brands. For pre-owned watches, the warranty normally takes the form of remedial action (i.e. repair or rectification) only for any defects. In general, water resistance is not a permanent characteristic for which a warranty would be provided, because the function of the built-in sealing elements may deteriorate over time and with daily use. Customers are strongly advised to have water resistance checks carried out in line with the manufacturer/brand’s recommendations.
