5.2. After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This order acknowledgement does not mean that your order has been accepted by us. We will confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). If we suspect someone’s identity, address, email address and/or payment information is being used fraudulently or in an unauthorized manner, we may require additional verification or information before accepting any order. The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation
5.3. If we are unable to supply you with a Product (for example because that Product is not in stock, no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site) or if we suspect your order to be fraudulent or placed in your capacity as a retailer or a reseller or otherwise placed in bad faith or not for a personal use, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible and, in any event, within 14 days of our e-mail notification to you.

7.6. Watch bracelets that have been adjusted at your request must have been done so by us or a TAG Heuer Authorized Retailer and should be returned with all the links originally shipped.

If you have paid Import Charges (as defined in clause 11 below) in connection with your order (either pre-paid at checkout or paid upon receipt of the order directly to the applicable authority), you acknowledge that (i) you must seek reimbursement directly from the applicable authority in your destination, (ii) it will be your sole responsibility to claim such Import Charges back from the applicable authority in your destination, and (iii) we cannot guarantee that such claim will be successful. If you have pre-paid Import Charges, upon your written request, we may exert appropriate efforts to assist you in obtaining reimbursement of such Import Charges, and for such purpose you hereby give us a power of attorney to act in your name to try and obtain such reimbursement (however this power of attorney is not a guarantee that such reimbursement will be successful).

8.2. Please refer to your delivery confirmation email from us for exact details and parcel tracking reference.
8.3. If you receive notification of an unsuccessful attempted delivery, it is your responsibility to use the details provided to contact the delivery company to arrange re-delivery.

8.4. Please note that you might experience a delay on the delivery due to customs requirements of your home country.
8.5. Please note that the Products might be subject to local customs charges.

9.2. Risk of damage or loss to the Product passes to you on delivery to you or to somebody identified by you to carry or take possession of the Product on your behalf.
10.1. The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time. Please see clause
10.2. Prices for our Products may change from time to time. Any changes to the price of Products on our site will not affect any order for Product(s) which we have confirmed to you with a Dispatch Confirmation.
10.3. Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price. In such case, we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
11.1. You buy the Product in your local currency and at a price that normally includes any applicable sales taxes (such as Value Added Tax), plus any eventual international delivery costs and fees (“Delivery Costs") and, if applicable and available for pre-payment, any eventual import duties, tariffs and similar fees that may be imposed by the delivery destination (“Import Charges”). Without advanced notice and from time to time, Delivery Costs and/or Import Charges could be covered, partially or fully. The site will provide details about such offers before completing and placing the order.
11.2. For certain delivery destinations and/or Products, you may be offered the option to pre-pay applicable Import Charges, which will then be calculated and added or included in the final price when you place the order. In certain cases, the price of the Product may already be inclusive of Import Charges.
11.3. In the event that the option to pre-pay applicable Import Charges is available for you and you choose to pre-pay such Import Charges, or if the Import Charges were already included in the price of the Product, your final price will be fully guaranteed, and the actual Import Charges will be paid on your behalf to the applicable authorities, as determined by your delivery destination upon import of your order.
11.4. Our partner Global-e may contract with a local licensed customs broker in the destination. Agreement to these Terms serve as an authorization for the applicable customs broker to act as your agent to: (i) conduct transactions with the local applicable authority, (ii) complete, submit and execute related documents on your behalf in connection with the import of Products in your order, (iii) facilitate the payment of applicable Import Charges; and (iv) if applicable, return such Product to us (subject to these Terms). However, you acknowledge that, in the case of a return of Product, you (and not us, Global-e or anyone on their behalf) will be fully responsible for claiming back such Import Charges from the applicable tax authority, to the extent possible, and neither Global-e, nor we shall have responsibility or liability in connection with such claim.
11.5. You may decide not to pre-pay the Import Charges at checkout, or the option to pre-pay Import Charges may not be available for your delivery destination or the Product. In such cases (i.e. where pre-pay does not apply): (i) you are advised that the amount of Import Charges displayed under the pre-pay option on the checkout may not reflect the actual Import Charges payable by you as determined by your delivery destination’s relevant authority, which may be more or less than such estimate; and (ii) you will be fully responsible for paying all applicable Import Charges directly to the relevant authority (and for reclaiming them in the event of a cancellation or a return of Products, to the extent permitted in these Terms) as determined by the authorities of the delivery destination, and neither Global-e nor we shall have any responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing. Moreover, if you fail to pay Import Charges without reasonable reason causing the liability to fall on us, Global-e or the carrier, the liability amount of Import Charges may be deducted from any refund or other amounts you may claim, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
11.6. If you elected not to pre-pay Import Charges, or failed to pay Import Charges, or refused to accept Products otherwise than in accordance with the return procedure under these Terms, in each case resulting with the Products being returned or needing to be returned, then you may be liable for the return delivery costs and may not be reimbursed or refunded for delivery costs paid by you for making the delivery to you. We may also charge you with additional direct or indirect charges resulting from said failure or refusal, to the extent permitted under applicable law. We may, if that is in accordance with these Terms, reimburse and refund you for the cost of the Products, but not the Import Charges which may or may not be reimbursable by the relevant authority.
12.1. All prices on our site are in local currencies.
12.2. You can only pay for Products using a debit card or credit card or any other payment means acceptable for us. You agree to pay in full the prices for any purchases you make either by credit or debit card concurrent with your online order or by other payment means acceptable to us. The availability of such payment means is dependent on your geographical location. Payment for the Products is in advance
12.3. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you will be charged by Global-e or one of its third party payment processors ("Payment Processor"), through the payment method you have selected for your order and such other amounts payable under these Terms that may be due in connection with the order; (ii) you will provide valid and current information about yourself; (iii) we may use the tools, software or services of Payment Processors to process transactions on our behalf; and (iv) you may be charged with additional fees (such as foreign transaction fee or cross border fee) or charges imposed by your bank or credit/debit card issuer, and as these are not our charges or fees, we have no control over such charges or fees nor do we have any way to mitigate such charges or fees, as this is purely up to the relationship and commercial terms between you and your bank or credit/debit card issuer, and we also have no way of knowing in advance whether you will be charged such charges or fees , as each bank and credit/debit card issuer has its own policy, and our commitment is to acquire the amount set at checkout in your local currency.
12.4. . Depending on your location, payment may be routed through Global-e’s affiliate (i.e., Global-e Australia Pty Ltd.).
12.5. If the payment method you selected at checkout supports an authorization mechanism (e.g., most credit/debit cards), when you place your order, only the applicable amount will be authorized. You will be charged only after the Product has been dispatched to you, unless the order is a ‘pre-order’ or a similar type of order, in which case the charge could be made even before the Product has been dispatched, depending on the particulars of the pre-ordered Product. If the payment method you selected does not support an authorization mechanism, the charge will be immediate upon placing the order (or such other timing set by that specific payment method you used, if applicable). Please note that you will be charged the full order amount even if the order is dispatched in parts. Where PayPal/PayPal Express is offered as a payment method, the full amount of your purchase may be taken immediately following the placement of your order. Pre-payment shall not affect your legal rights under these Terms (including for example any right of refund).
12.6. In certain jurisdictions only, you may be offered the opportunity to purchase goods using the solution “Klarna” as a payment method. The terms and conditions which will apply to payment by invoice with Klarna can be found here, noting that German (not English) is the governing and binding language of such terms and conditions. Eligibility for use of the Klarna invoicing payment method will be determined by Klarna in their sole discretion and we accept no liability in respect of your use of Klarna as a payment method. Where you choose to purchase the Product using payment by invoice with Klarna, you will be sharing your personal data with Klarna and the terms of Klama's privacy policy shall apply to their use of your personal information.
12.7. Certain Products that you purchase on our site may be subject to additional Terms presented to you at the time of such purchase
12.8. If you do not make any payment due to us by the due date for payment, we may:
(a) immediately terminate the Contract between us. We will contact you in writing to let you know that the Contract has been terminated; and
(b) charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate of our bank from time to time. This interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
12.9. If you dispute any payment you have made in good faith and contact us to let us know promptly after you have made the payment that you dispute, clause 12.8(b) will not apply for the period of the dispute
13.1. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we will be responsible to you for the loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

13.3. In no event, including but not limited to negligence, shall we, any of our affiliated companies, or any of their directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or content or service providers (collectively, the “protected entities”) be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from, or directly or indirectly related to the Products. In no event shall the total aggregate liability of the protected entities to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including, but not limited to, negligence or otherwise) arising from these Terms or any Product ordered via our site exceed, in the aggregate, the amount paid by you for the purchase of Products via our site
In no event shall the total aggregate liability of the protected entities to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including, but not limited to, negligence or otherwise) arising from these Terms or any Product ordered via our site exceed, in the aggregate, the amount paid by you for the purchase of Products via our site, except as provided in clause 13.5.
13.4. We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

14.2. If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:
(a) we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
(b) our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
15.1. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express or implied warranties or representations regarding any Products ordered or provided via the site, and hereby disclaim, and you hereby waive, any and all warranties and representations made in Product literature, frequently asked questions documents and otherwise on the site or in correspondence with us or our agents.
15.2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, any Products ordered or provided via the site are provided by us “as is” provided that the foregoing disclaimer does not apply to the extent, if at all, of any Product warranty offered by us or the applicable manufacturer of a Product as contained in the package delivered to you, as specifically described on the site or as otherwise specifically set forth in an agreement separately entered into in writing between you and us or our licensor or supplier.

17.4. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
17.5. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and any written waiver does not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
17.6. These Terms are governed by Swiss law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Contract (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by Swiss law.
