Describing your Merchandise

You hereby agree that any description of the Merchandise that you provide to us, whether on the quote form, packing slip included in the shipping materials or otherwise, will be true, complete, and accurate at the time you submit such description to us. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that there are significant discrepancies between the Merchandise as described by you and the Merchandise we receive, or if no description of the Merchandise was included in the package used by you to ship the Merchandise, we may suspend or terminate the Transaction without notice to you. We will not repair or replace any replica watch even if the damage occurred during our normal testing and valuation procedures. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, in the event that we terminate the Transaction because the Merchandise shipped by you is determined by HODINKEE, in our sole discretion, to have an altered/mutilated serial number or to be a counterfeit or a replica copy, we will notify you in writing (which may include notification via email, text message, or other electronic means) and will ship your Merchandise to you, at your cost, within 5 business days of our receipt of your shipping instructions and payment therefore (if a valid account number with the designated shipper is not provided); provided, however, that you hereby agree that HODINKEE may dispose of the Merchandise if we do not receive shipping instructions and payment for all shipping costs from you within 30 days of the date on which HODINKEE sends you written notice that the Transaction has been terminated. In the event that HODINKEE terminates the Transaction due to any other breach of the representations and warranties made by you in connection with your description of the Merchandise, HODINKEE will ship your Merchandise to you within 10 business days at our cost by the Shipper shipping method of our choosing, and you agree that we will only be responsible for insuring the value of your Merchandise up to $100.

Inbound Shipping; Costs; Loss or Damage Guarantee

If HODINKEE desires to receive your Merchandise for further inspection we may provide you with a shipping label; however, HODINKEE is not obligated to provide you with a shipping label. If you send us the Merchandise using the shipping label we provide, we will purchase insurance to cover your Merchandise in the event it is lost damaged for the cash value of your quote, once it is processed by the national courier selected by us to ship your Merchandise (the "Shipper"). Once your watch is received, it will remain insured for the value of your cash quote. In the event that your package is lost we will require that you provide proof of shipping receipt, provide receipt of proof that goods are lost, and file a claim within 30 days of loss. In the event your package is damaged we will require that you: provide proof of shipping receipt, provide receipt of proof that goods are damaged, demonstrate that the package was not damaged prior to shipping, and file a claim within 30 days of loss. If you believe that you need additional coverage, then it is your responsibility to contact us so that we can provide such additional coverage at our expense before sending us your Merchandise. You can contact us at shop@hodinkee.com with additional questions or for shipping instructions.

For Merchandise shipped from a jurisdiction outside the U.S. or in territories of the U.S. that require importing to the U.S., you can select to send your Merchandise to us using the shipping label we provide, and we will pay for the costs of such shipment, including duties, VAT, etc. You are responsible for abiding by all relevant export and import laws and restrictions. If HODINKEE receives your Merchandise, makes you an offer to purchase such Merchandise, and you decline such offer, it will be your responsibility to arrange for and pay for the necessary shipping to return your Merchandise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall bear the risk of loss with respect to all Merchandise until such Merchandise is actually received by HODINKEE.

Receipt of Merchandise

We record the opening and the contents of each package of Merchandise we receive. We will retain the video for at least 30 days after we receive your Merchandise. You may make arrangements with us to order a copy of the video of the receiving and unpacking of your merchandise for an additional fee. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without notice to you, to reject any inbound package. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, any inbound package that we reject will not be deemed to have been "received" by us.

Any non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) extras (including, but not limited to generic boxes, aftermarket straps, and third-party materials) will not increase the offer for your watch. They will not be inventoried and will be disposed of when they arrive at our facility.

Determining Our Offer

We will determine our estimate of the value of your Merchandise using factors that we deem to be appropriate. In order to value your Merchandise, we may need to open the watch and remove gemstones and other items from the watch. You hereby authorize us to open the watch, remove gemstones and other items from the watch, and take such other actions as we deem reasonably necessary to accurately value your Merchandise, including without limitation sending your Merchandise, at no cost to you, to a potential Third-Party Purchaser. You hereby further authorize us to perform our standard preparation service (which may consist of cleaning, basic repairs (as we deem appropriate), accuracy calibration, lubrication and pressure testing), and to photograph your Merchandise. You hereby authorize us to communicate with any potential Third-Party Purchaser regarding you and your Merchandise and to disclose all information provided to or obtained by us relating to you and/or your Merchandise to any potential Third-Party Purchaser. Upon processing your Merchandise, we will notify you by email or other electronic means (an "Offer Notice") of our offer or of an offer from a potential Third-Party Purchaser of payment for your Merchandise ("Offer").

Accepting or Rejecting Our Final Offer

You may accept the Offer via the seller portal, which you can access via the link provided in the Offer Notice, within 7 days of the date you receive the Offer Notice. HODINKEE may, in its sole discretion, extend the time for acceptance of an Offer. In order to reject the Offer, you must do so via the seller portal. If you reject the Offer, and do not authorize us to hold your Merchandise for a longer period in order to make you another offer, we will ship your Merchandise to you at the address indicated in our records within fifteen (15) business days, at no cost to you, and will insure your Merchandise for the full value of the Offer.

Payment for Your Merchandise

We will issue payment for the Merchandise in the amount stated in the Offer, less any fees owed to HODINKEE as stated in the Offer (the "Purchase Price"), via the method of payment you selected on the seller portal at the address you provided on or before the later of (i) six (6) business days of your acceptance of the Offer or (ii) fifteen (15) days following our receipt of available funds from a Third Party Purchaser (if a Third-Party Purchaser is the purchaser of the Merchandise).

ALL SALES FINAL

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS OR CREDITS ARE PERMITTED. If you have elected to receive the Purchase Price by check, the transaction is final once HODINKEE has sent a check to the address you provided. If you have elected to receive the Purchase Price by Gift Card, the transaction is final once HODINKEE has sent the electronic Gift Card to the email address you provided.

Returned Merchandise; Outbound Insurance; Costs; Insurance

In the event that your Merchandise is returned to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, we will ship your Merchandise to you at your address as it appears in our records via the Shipper shipping method of our choosing at our expense and will purchase insurance coverage through the Shipper for the Merchandise for the full value of the rejected Offer. If a package containing your Merchandise is lost in transit while being returned to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, we will file a claim with Shipper and pay you the full amount received by us from the Shipper.

TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF MERCHANDISE.

The following terms and conditions govern any Transaction relating to the sale, or attempted sale, of Merchandise by HODINKEE.

Risk of Loss; International Shipments

All Merchandise sold by HODINKEE is sold pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. For Merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction outside the U.S. or in territories of the U.S., you, as the purchaser, are required to pay customs charges, as well as any associated import tax, VAT, or duties. HODINKEE is unable to provide specific customs charges for each purchase as policies vary greatly by country. You are encouraged to contact your local customs office for pricing estimates. HODINKEE will include a copy of the invoice for the Merchandise with every purchase, and each country will determine applicable fees based upon such invoice. HODINKEE will not label an item as a gift or declare a lesser value on the invoice than the purchase price paid. HODINKEE will issue a refund of the purchase price actually received by HODINKEE, minus all shipping and customs charges incurred as well as a restocking fee in such amount as reasonably determined by HODINKEE, for any Merchandise returned to HODINKEE by customs officials due to you, as the purchaser, refusing such Merchandise at customs.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Agreement to Arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and HODINKEE, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions (including any alleged breach thereof), Merchandise, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms and Conditions, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND HODINKEE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND HODINKEE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

HODINKEE is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support atshop@hodinkee.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to HODINKEE, Inc., ATTN: Legal, 255 Centre Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10013 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration . If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as Conditions as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration shall take place in Sandy Springs, GA, USA, and you hereby waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-convenience. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Severability

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms and Conditions will continue to apply.

Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, HODINKEE agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the services, you may reject any such change by sending HODINKEE written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions).

Miscellaneous

You hereby acknowledge and agree that you provided to us the email address, physical address, and telephone numbers that are in our records, and it is your responsibility to provide us with any current or updated contact information. You further acknowledge and agree that: (i) any email message that we send to you is deemed to have been effectively received by you and constitutes due notice to you by email; and (ii) any phone message we leave with you, anyone answering your phone, or on your answering machine or service is effectively received by you and constitutes due notice to you by telephone. In the event of any strike, disruption of service, or any other problems that we might encounter with Shipper, we reserve the right in our discretion to replace Shipper with another shipping carrier. These Terms and Conditions will be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and HODINKEE agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Sandy Springs, GA. All references to days shall refer to business days. Saturdays, Sundays, and federal legal holidays are not included as business days, and if the expiration of any time frame set forth above falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal legal holiday, performance will be due on the next business day. Merchandise received after 2:00 p.m., or on any Saturday, Sunday, or federal legal holiday will be considered to have been received on the next business day. All business days will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. in Georgia on the appropriate day. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, we reserve the right to suspend or enlarge any time frame specified above, and/or request additional documents or information from you, in order to comply with any applicable local, state, or federal law, ordinance, or regulation. Furthermore, any time frame set forth above may be suspended or extended in our discretion with or without notice to you in the event that we encounter technical difficulties concerning our website or otherwise, or encounter any other delays attributable to acts of God, including but not limited to fires, hurricanes, and other storms.

In the event that any provision hereof is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall remain valid and enforceable according to their terms. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision of these Terms and Conditions that provides for a disclaimer of warranties, limitation on liability, or exclusion of damages is intended by the parties to be severable and independent of any other provision and to be enforced as such. The failure of a party to enforce any applicable provision of these Terms and Conditions, or to require at any time performance by the other party of any provision or obligation hereof, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the validity of these Terms and Conditions or any part hereof, or the right of such waiving party.
