Our terms
- These terms
- Information about us and how to contact us
- Order: your order for the Goods.
- Our website, the website: the website at the domain www.ajewellers.com.
- Paperwork: the original warranty certificate of the Goods, which includes: (1) the name of the authorised dealer that originally sold the Goods; (2) the serial number of the Goods; and (3) the date of original sale of the Goods. Paperwork does not include the user manual or any service papers.
- Working Days: a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public/bank holiday in England.
- Our contract with you
- Our products
- Your rights to make changes. If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see 9 - Your rights to end the contract).
- Our rights to make changes
- to reflect changes in relevant laws or regulation; and
- to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the product.
- Bespoke Products
- We are able, upon request, to make bespoke products for you (e.g. watch setting and diamond set watches). We will need to receive a detailed specification from you. Given the intricacies and expertise required in doing this, we recommend that a telephone, videocall or face-to-face meeting take place in order for us to obtain your precise requirements.
- Following the creation of a detailed specification, we will then give you a price in order to create your product. Payment and all other terms relating to it (include the removal of the right of the customer to change his or her mind, as explained in clause 9.4(a)) are set out elsewhere in this agreement, a bespoke product being no different to any other product for the purpose of these terms.
- Providing the products
- If you do not allow us access to collect. If you do not allow us access to your property to collect the item as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this), we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and 11.2 will apply.
- Your legal rights if we deliver goods late. You have legal rights if we deliver any goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any goods then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
- we have refused to deliver the goods;
- you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
- Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under 8.8, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline. b
- [Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under 8.8 or 8.9, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on 0208 187 8355 or email us at info@ajewellers.com for a return label or to arrange collection.
- deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
- update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
- make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see 6).
- Your rights to end the contract
- we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see 6.2);
- we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
- there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
- we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than ten days; or
- you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because your order arrived late (see 8.8).
- bespoke products; and
- services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.
- How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
-
-
Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
- Phone or email. Call customer services using the details set out in clause 2.2 above. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.
- Online. Email info@ajewellers.com for more information.
-
- In store. If you bought the goods in store, you may bring them back to the store within fourteen days of purchase and we will either exchange or issue a credit note for them, provided the requirements of clause 10.3 have also been met. No refund will be made in these circumstances.
-
Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
- if the products are faulty or misdescribed;
- if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or
- In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
- We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
- The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
- Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
- If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within fourteen days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.
- In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind
- Our rights to end the contract
- you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within seven days of us reminding you that payment is due;
- you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, for example, your delivery address;
- you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us; or
- you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services.
- We may withdraw the product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know at least seven days in advance of our stopping the supply of the product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.
- If there is a problem with the product

Summary of your key legal rights This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06. If your product is goods, for example a watch, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following: a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund. b) Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases. c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back. See also 9.3. If your product is services, for example a repair service, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says: a) You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it. b) If you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable. c) If you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time. |
- Price and payment
- For goods, you must pay for the balance due on any product within seven days of your order being accepted (due date). We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.
- For services, you must make an advance payment of 25% of the price of the services, before we start providing them. We will invoice you for the balance of the price of the services when we have completed them. You must pay each invoice within seven calendar days after the date of the invoice.
- You may choose to pay a deposit on the product you are purchasing or pay in full at the outset. If you paid online, you will have seven days to make payment of the balance due, either online or by visiting our store.
- If the purpose of the deposit is for us to source a watch for you and you do not go on to pay the balance by the due date, any deposit paid will be non-refundable.
- Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
- How we may use your personal information
- How we may use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
- Other important terms
- Customs
- If you are based outside the UK, you may also have to pay import duty or other taxes, fees or charges applied by customs or other authorities in the country of receipt. You must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the Goods. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. If you are unsure about whether these charges might apply to your Order, you should contact your local tax or customs office for further information.
- Some of the Goods we sell come with a manufacturer's warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the Paperwork provided with the Goods or to the manufacturer’s website.
- As a consumer, a manufacturer's warranty is in addition to your legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from the Citizens' Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call on 03454 040506).
- Our Warranty
- We provide either a full or limited warranty with our pre-owned Goods for a period of twelve months from the date of delivery in accordance with our Warranty Terms and Conditions. Please take the time to read and understand these terms. Our warranty does not apply to new Goods which are typically covered by a third-party manufacturer’s warranty.
- The warranty we provide is in addition to your legal rights as a consumer in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from the local Citizens' Advice Consumer Service (website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call on 03454 040506).
- Resistance to Water
- 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.
- Water resistance is described either in meters or bars. It is important to understand that the level of water is not equivalent to an exact depth. It simply shows that the watch will resist pressure equal to a static immersion up to a certain depth. Any movements by the watch wearer, as well as the water pressure, can considerably increase the level of pressure and therefore the water resistance.
- Sizing of Bracelets
- Bracelet sizes may vary. A bracelet size will be requested from you before your order is dispatched. Where a watch is advertised as having seals intact, the bracelet will not be adjusted. Links will be supplied at your cost or at our discretion if a larger size is needed. If no size of bracelet is given, additional links will be chargeable.
- Age of Goods
- Where Paperwork accompanies the Goods, the age of them will be calculated from the date given on the Paperwork, showing the history and provenance of the Goods and containing the official stamps by the authorised dealer (Age). The date of manufacture may be significantly earlier than the Paperwork date.
- The age of the Goods listed on the Website is an estimate only. Where there is no Paperwork, it can be difficult for us to calculate the Age of the Goods, especially where it is a vintage item. Accordingly, the Age can only ever be considered to be an estimate.
- No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by us concerning the Age of the Goods or its accuracy.
- Buy Back Guarantee
- Some of our Goods benefit from our Buy Back Guarantee. If this is included in your Order, please take the time to read and understand our Buy Back Guarantee terms and conditions.
- Fraud
- If we have grounds for believing that a payment by debit or credit card is fraudulent, your Goods will not be dispatched. There will be no refund back to you unless and until your bank so authorises it. This is standard procedure in these circumstances.
- Data Protection
- Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information on how we process your personal data.
- Promotions
All promotional offers and/or discount vouchers and/or free gifts (Promotions) are subject to the terms and conditions which will be issued at the time of a Promotion’s launch.
