Cartier International AG, a branch of Richemont International SA, has its registered offices at Route des Biches 10, CH-1752 Villars-sur-Glâne, Switzerland. The Platforms are owned and edited by Cartier. (hereafter “Cartier” and "we", "us" and "our").
These Conditions of Service apply to any repair services (the “Services”, and each such order a “Service Order”) that you may order from Cartier for a watch or jewellery creation (the “Creation”)
• using the website https://www.cartier.co.uk/ and any associated mobile or digital applications that refer to these Conditions of Service (together, the “Platforms”)
• by e-mail or by telephone via our Cartier Client Relations Centre (the “Client Relations Centre”) or via any of our Cartier Boutiques in United Kingdom (the “Boutique”)
The Services/ Service Order include the online ordering of repair services, the online approval of any cost estimates, the online tracking and the online payment (as made available to you on the Platforms, and/or by the Client Relations Centre or by the Boutique) for the order of a repair service that you may have made via our Platforms, e-mail or the Client Relations Centre/ Boutique (together the “Service Channels”).
Cartier is an affiliate of Cartier SA, which owns and edits the Platforms pursuant to the Terms of Use, and which is responsible for our information collection practices pursuant to the terms of the Privacy Policy. By placing a Service Order, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated into these Conditions of Service.
Please read these Conditions of Service carefully. These Conditions of Service are applicable to any Service Order ordered through the Service Channels that you validate and accept online through the Platforms, by e-mail or that the Client Relations Centre/ Boutique validates and accepts online on your behalf. Please note that before placing an order for the Services, you will be asked to agree to these Conditions of Service. If you do not agree to these Conditions of Service, then you will not be able to order any Services. Service Orders placed through third parties (such as authorised retailers) are not subject to these Conditions of Service.
We may make changes from time to time to these Conditions of Service so please check back regularly to keep informed of updates. The latest version of these Conditions of Service will always be available on the Platforms. Any new version of these Conditions of Service shall take effect immediately upon the date of posting and will govern any orders of Services made as from that date. Any changes to the Conditions of Service made after you have placed a Service Order will not affect that order and your relationship with us, except as may be required by applicable law.
We conclude contracts only with individuals (and not legal entities) who (a) have reached the age of legal majority required to enter into contracts (eighteen in most countries); (b) have legal capacity to enter into contracts; and (c) have a shipping address in Saudi Arabic. If you are under the age of legal majority or otherwise cannot lawfully enter into a contract, you must have your parent or guardian place a Service Order on your behalf and they will be asked to agree to these Conditions of Service.
By placing a Service Order, you represent and warrant that you are a bona fide end-user customer purchasing for your own or another’s personal use and will not use, deliver, sell or otherwise market or purchase the Services for commercial purposes. If despite our efforts, the Service is no longer available or we believe, for legitimate reasons, that a Service Order would violate these Conditions of Service, we may refuse such order.

You will receive a cost estimate for approval by e-mail.
This cost estimate will be valid for a period of two (2) months after its date of issue by Cartier, after which it will automatically become null and void if you do not accept it within that time period.
We invite you to carefully check all the details of the cost estimate and the Conditions of Service before placing your order by e-mail.
All prices for the Services shown on the Platforms or the cost estimate are in SAR. VAT and shipping costs are included but other taxes are not included, unless otherwise indicated.
Once you have received and reviewed the cost estimate, you are required to formally accept the Services listed in the cost estimate in order for Cartier to proceed with your Service Order.
Your written approval (through e-mail or WhatsApp) of the cost estimate constitutes acceptance of the Service to be performed by Cartier and indicates the existence of a binding contract.
If you refuse the cost estimate, we will not perform any services and will return your creation in the condition that it was received at the address that you have previously communicated.
You may also request that the Services begin only fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of the binding contract, so that you may exercise your right to withdraw from the contract without incurring any charges (see below). In order to do this, please write under your signature the following sentence "I request that Cartier only commences the Services following a period of fourteen (14) days from the date of my approval of the contract", and the Services will start only fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of the binding contract.
By authorizing us to proceed with the Service, you agree to pay for our performance of the repair work, within the limit of the cost estimate you validated.
If, for technical reasons, Cartier determines before proceeding with the Service that the cost of the repair will exceed the cost of the estimate you validated, we will send you a new estimate for your approval or rejection.

In case you exercise your right of withdrawal before the diagnosis phase, no payment of fees will be required.
In the event that you exercise your right of withdrawal during the provision of the Services, you will have to pay Cartier an amount calculated on the basis of the percentage of the total contractual services corresponding to the Services ordered which will have been made on the date you notify us. If, at this time, the Services have been fully performed by Cartier, you must pay the full amount due for the Services. Cartier will send you an invoice to pay the applicable costs. After receiving your payment, we will send your creation in the condition it was on the date you informed us of your decision to withdraw from this distance contract.
