– damages as a result of neglected care,

In case of a defect within the warranty period the Seller chooses between reparation and substitution of the watch by the same model. The warranty is only granted upon presentation of the defective watch, the invoice and evidence for the defect appeared within the warranty period. This evidence is also given by sending the defective watch to the Seller within the warranty period.

7.5 The water resistance of the seller’s watches is indicated on the case back. Watches that are water resistant to between 3 ATM and 10 ATM are rainproof or splashproof and cannot be worn when bathing, swimming, or diving.

7.6 The warranties no longer apply in case a third party performed repair works or other works on the product, without prior written permission by the Seller.

7.7 Performing the warranty, the Seller sends the watch repaired or substituted to the Client at risk and costs of the Seller. However, the Client sends the watch to the Seller at own risk and costs. Shipment costs for a return shipment after a warranty or repair request, for defects occurring through inappropriate handling by the Client, as stated in 7.3, will be borne by the Client.
