Terms of use

WatchTock is an information service. It gathers pre-owned watches offered by independent South African sellers and links each one to the seller’s own listing.

WatchTock does not sell watches, take payment, hold stock, negotiate, authenticate watches, or act as an agent for any buyer or seller. It is not a party to anything you agree with a seller.

Any purchase is solely between you and the seller, on the seller’s terms. Before you pay, confirm the price, condition, authenticity, availability, warranty and returns directly with the seller.

Your rights as a consumer, including under the Consumer Protection Act, are exercised against the seller you buy from.

Listings come from sellers’ websites and are checked about once a day, so details can change or be out of date between checks. Always treat the seller’s own listing as the authoritative version.

Prices, conversions and market valuations are explained on our Prices and valuations page, which forms part of these terms.

You can browse without an account. Signing in with Google lets you keep saved watches, saved searches and alerts. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your Google account secure.

WatchTock is intended for people aged 18 or over. You can delete your account at any time from your Account page.

You agree not to:

• use the site unlawfully or to mislead anyone
• try to get around its security or access someone else’s account
• overload the site, or copy its catalogue in bulk by automated means
• press the valuation feature automatically or in bulk

We may restrict access if these terms are broken.

The WatchTock name, logo, design and original text belong to its operator. Listing text and photographs belong to the sellers or other rights holders. Brand names and logos belong to their owners, as set out on our Trademarks page.

The service is free and provided as it stands. We may change, suspend or end any part of it. Links to other websites are provided for convenience, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

To the fullest extent the law allows, WatchTock and its operator are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site, from relying on its information, or from any dealing with a seller.

Nothing in these terms limits any right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

We may update these terms and will change the date on this page when we do. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa, and South African courts have jurisdiction.
