5.3. 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 that you are using someone’s identity, address, email address and/or payment information 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.
5.4. If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example: (1) because that Product is not in stock, no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site; or (2) if we suspect or become aware: (a) of any fraudulent or unlawful activity in connection with your order or any previous order; (b) that the order is being made in your capacity as a retailer or a reseller or otherwise placed in bad faith or not for a personal use; (c) of any breach of these Terms, 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 unless we believe that we are required to keep the money in the event that we suspect fraudulent or unlawful activity.
5.5. Unless specified otherwise, the purchase of the Product(s) is a one-off purchase that will be deemed completed once both parties have complied with their obligations in full.
6.1. We may revise these Terms from time to time. You should read these Terms carefully prior to the purchase of each Product from our site.
6.2. Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at that time will apply to the Contract between you and us.
6.3. If we revise these Terms and you have already placed an order with us, the revised Terms will not apply to the order that you have placed.
7.1. If you choose to end your Contract with us, your rights will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the Contract as set out below.
- (a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a right to end the Contract. In those circumstances, please contact us in accordance with the process set out below at clause 7.4, or by using the contact details set out below at clause 14.
- (b) If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do. Please see clause 7.2 for more information.
- (c) If you have just changed your mind about a Product. Please see clause 7.3 for more information. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling off period, but this may be subject to deductions as set out below.
7.2. Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the Contract for a reason set out at(a) to (d) below, the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
- (a) we have told you about an upcoming change to a Product or these Terms which you do not agree to;
- (b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
- (c) we have told you there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
- (d) you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
7.3. Your legal right to change your mind: Subject to certain exceptions set out below or above, you have a legal right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 to change your mind within 14 days, starting from the day after you or someone you nominate receives the Product(s) (known as a “cooling off period”).
7.4. To return a Product please follow our return process below:
- You should contact eboutique.uk@hublot.com or by phone on 0 808 175 4994, within 30 days of the day after you or someone you nominate receives the Product(s). You can send the cancellation form set out at Schedule 1 if you wish but it is not a requirement.
- Our team will ask you a few questions to make a preliminary assessment of the situation taking into account the conditions of the return described in this clause 7.
- Subject to such preliminary assessment confirming that the conditions for return appear to be met, our team shall contact our courier and you shall either be contacted by our courier or by our team for organisation of the shipment.
- You shall give the Product to our courier.
7.5. Please note: a return authorization must be initiated as set out at clause 7.4 within 30 days of receiving the order and you shall make the Product available for collection within 14 days of the return authorization being issued, such 14-day period starting from the day after the return authorisation is issued.
7.6. Hublot shall pay the cost for returning Products provided that they are returned in accordance with the process set out above at clause 7.4.
7.7. All Products must be returned with the original receipt, in an unused state and in brand-new condition, with all original shipping and Product packaging, protective materials, and tags in place.
7.8. Watch bracelets that have been adjusted at your request must have been done so by us or a Hublot Authorized Retailer and should be returned with all the links originally shipped.
7.9. If you are exercising your legal right to change your mind (see clause 7.3 above), we may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of a Product if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect a Product and later discover you have handled the Product in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount. We will refund you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind.
7.10. Your legal right to change your mind and cancel the Contract (see clause 7.3 above) does not apply to personalised Products. Personalised Products are considered as final sale and cannot be returned for exchange or refund. This means that you cannot cancel the Contract for personalised Products just because you have changed your mind.
7.11. We will refund you by the method you used for payment.
Delivery will take place only in Great Britain. For avoidance of doubt, this excludes deliveries in the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.
8.1. Shipping and handling costs are automatically calculated based on the delivery address and included in the total price of your order as provided to you during the order process. We normally send all merchandise using a carrier. Depending on the place of delivery, please allow 3 to 14 calendar days for delivery once you have received the Dispatch Confirmation. If you order a Personalised Product, it may take longer to deliver your Product. In any event, you will be informed during the order process of the estimated delivery date of your order before proceeding to purchase.
8.2. Please refer to your delivery confirmation email from our carrier for exact details. Please note that a verification of ID will be made upon delivery.
8.3. A Hublot Customer Service Representative or our carrier representative may contact you to arrange delivery.
8.4. Please note that you might experience a delay on the delivery due to customs requirements of your home location.

8.7. You own a Product which is goods once we have received payment in full.
8.8. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will contact you to rearrange delivery at a date and time that suits you.
8.9. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery of any Products, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract.
9.1. The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time. Please see clause 9.4 for information about price errors on our site.
9.2. 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.
9.3. The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
9.4. 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. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. Where the product’s correct price is higher than that advertised, 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.
10.1. All prices on our site are in Pounds Sterling.
10.2. We accept payment as set out below. Please note that in case of payment by bank transfer, Hublot reserves the right to check your identity and to require a copy of your ID with the sole purpose of checking your identity to complete appropriate anti-fraud investigations.
