1. The Purchase Contract
Ownership
All watches and goods remain the legal property of Wristique Ltd until payment has been received in full and cleared.
Authenticity
Wristique guarantees that all pre-owned watches are 100% authentic items. We do not deal in fakes, copies, or watches with unauthorised aftermarket components.
Stock Availability
While we endeavour to keep our online inventory live and accurate, the acknowledgement of an order does not create a binding contract to supply if the item is no longer in stock.
2. Pricing and Payment
Currency
All prices are in GBP Sterling. International payments must be made in GBP, and the amount received by us must be net of any international bank transfer charges.
VAT Margin Scheme
Most pre-owned watches are sold under the UK VAT Margin Scheme. This means the advertised price is NET. As these are pre-owned goods, there is no VAT element within the price, and therefore no VAT is reclaimable by business customers.
Pricing Errors
We reserve the right to amend prices. In the unlikely event of a manifest pricing error, Wristique is not liable to supply the watch at the incorrect price.
