WEE regulations
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.
Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.
The Alliance of British Watch and Clock Makers Limited is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new electrical or electronic product from us.
In our case this applies to watches containing a quartz movement which are fitted with a battery and watch winders (WEEE items).
For example, if a customer buys anything which we define as being a WEEE item (see above) we would accept their old item back, free of charge, on a like for like basis and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 60 days of purchasing their new item. Return postage will be paid by us.
If any customer wishes to return their WEEE item, they should first contact [email protected] to obtain returns information. We will happily guide you through the process.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
Our terms of sale
You (the purchaser) are entitled to cancel your order within 14 days and return the goods within a further 14 days for a full refund, including our delivery costs. You can do this by contacting us by email or telephone and quoting the date of purchase and transaction number supplied to you and we will send you a returns form. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault – for example, if goods are faulty or inaccurately described.
To contact us, email [email protected]
No refund shall be made if your purchase signs of use or copying.
Any goods returned should be in saleable condition, undamaged and in their original unopened packaging accompanied by the completed returns form.
Your refund will be paid within 30 days.
These terms apply to your order. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply in the future.
None of these terms affect your legal rights under English law and these are not diminished in any way. If any term is held to be invalid under any applicable English statute or rule of law, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.
These conditions shall at all times be construed under and be subject to English law.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data entered on our website e.g. information entered into a contact form, is being provided by a human user or by an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitors based on a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data e.g. IP address, time the website visitor spent on the site or cursor movements initiated by the user. The data tracked during such analyses is forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is underway.
It is in our legitimate interest, to protect our web content and web forms against misuse by automated industrial espionage systems and against SPAM.

When we will share your information
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
If your information enters or is freely available in the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. Consequently, we accept no responsibility for their actions at any time.
How we will not use your data
Alliance of British Watch and Clock Makers will not share your information with other companies for their marketing purposes and will not sell or seek to make financial gain from your information, aside from our own marketing activities. Please see below ‘how can you stop the use of your personal data for direct marketing’ for the details of our marketing practices and how you can unsubscribe.
Your legal rights: Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected]
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
After receiving the request, we shall take reasonable steps to verify your identity. This is important to safeguard your information and is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Retention period for personal data
Except as otherwise mentioned in this privacy notice, we keep your personal information only for as long as required by us:
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, together with any applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your Legal Rights above for further information.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers.
International transfers
We will ensure that reasonable steps are taken to prevent third parties outside your country of residence using your personal data in any way not set out in this Privacy Policy. We will also make sure we adequately protect the confidentiality and privacy of your personal data.
Many of our external third parties (such as our suppliers) are based outside the EEA so their processing of your data will involve transfer of data outside the EEA.
If you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your data outside the EEA then please do contact us.
Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
