O L I G O watches are automatic mechanical watches. Fully wound, they have a 40-hour power reserve. Their precision is + or - 6 seconds per day.

In order for the watch to be as accurate as possible, we recommend winding it manually before putting it on your wrist (crown pushed against the case, turn the crown about 20 turns upwards - clockwise)

Their water resistance is 3 bar (30M). This means that they can withstand occasional splashes such as hand washing or rain, but they are not designed to be immersed in water. We therefore advise you to remove your O L I G O during a shower or a swim to avoid the risk of damaging it.

O L I G O bracelets are made from vegan and eco-friendly materials. They are therefore likely to evolve over time depending on how the watch is worn (exposure to perfumes, creams, hydro-alcohol gel, water, etc.).

Maintenance

Maintenance recommendation

A mechanical watch should be serviced every 5 years to ensure the reliability and precision of the movement. During the overhaul, the watch and movement are completely dismantled, cleaned, worn components replaced, and then the whole unit is reassembled and checked. The warranty after a full service is 2 years.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter "GTC") define the contractual relationship between the customer (hereinafter "Customer") and Oligo, Olivier Gaud, 23 Rue des Rois, 1204 Geneva (hereinafter " Oligo ").

These GTC can be modified at any time by Oligo and replaced by new conditions, which will be published on the website www.oligowatches.com.

If any provision of these GTC is invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part within a certain scope, the remaining provisions of these GTC shall remain in force and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be applied to the extent permitted and according to the intention of the parties.

All other delivery costs (including return after warranty or out-of-warranty service) shall be borne by the Customer. These delivery costs may vary from country to country. If necessary, you can contact us to obtain the estimated delivery costs for your country.

The costs of returning the products by the Customer to Oligo are always and exclusively at the Customer's expense (particularly in the event of withdrawal), unless otherwise stated in writing by Oligo to the Customer. The Customer is responsible for insuring the shipment of products sent to Oligo. Oligo will endeavour to have the goods delivered within sixty (60) days, unless otherwise indicated by Oligo. Oligo will inform the Customer of any delay in delivery but shall not be liable to pay any compensation for such delay.

 

Guarantee

Oligo grants a 3-year (36-month) warranty on all its watches from the date of purchase, subject to the conditions set out in this warranty. This guarantee is total (parts and labour). The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship existing at the time of delivery of the purchased watch. Check the condition of the goods delivered on receipt to exclude obvious material and manufacturing defects, as well as damage due to transport.

The bracelets and linings may leave some coloured marks on the skin when wet or sweaty. These are harmless and disappear when rinsed with water. We do not guarantee that any marks on the clothing (e.g. rubbing of the leather on a shirt) can be removed and do not take responsibility for them. These traces are not a sign of poor quality or defect of strap, but a characteristic of a natural product.

The warranty does not cover :

- normal wear and tear and wear and tear due to ageing (e.g. scratches at crystal; alteration of the color and/or material of the bracelets, such as leather, textile, rubber);

- damage to any part of the watch resulting from improper/abusive use, lack of care, negligence, accidents (knocks, dents, crushing, breakage of the crystal, etc.), improper use of the watch;

- any indirect or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from the use, non-operation, defects or lack of accuracy of the watch;

- the watch handled by an unauthorised person or whose original condition has been altered beyond the control of Oligo. Thus, watches opened, modified, transformed or repaired by a third party not authorised by Oligo are no longer covered by the warranty.

This warranty does not affect the buyer's rights against the seller or any other mandatory rights he may have against the seller.

Without limiting the scope of these general terms and conditions of sale, no claim for damages of any kind whatsoever in respect of delivered products, non-delivery of products or otherwise shall exceed the amount of the purchase price of the products which gave rise to the claim.

All other claims against Oligo, e.g. for damages additional to those defined in this warranty, are expressly excluded, with the exception of mandatory claims that the purchaser may have against the manufacturer.

 

Return of goods / right of revocation

The Customer has a period of 14 days from the date of delivery to exercise his right of withdrawal and return the goods, provided that he has previously informed Oligo by e-mail. The right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that have been made at the request of the customer or that are clearly personalised, in particular "one-offs" made to the customer's wishes.

Before returning any goods, the Customer must contact Oligo (info@oligowatches.com). Unless otherwise agreed, the shipping costs and any financial costs are to be paid by the Customer. The products will be returned by the Customer at his own expense to Oligo at the latest within fourteen days of his decision to withdraw.

The products must be returned in new condition, intact and complete in their original packaging.

Oligo will then reimburse the Customer for the price of the product(s), except for the shipping costs, at the latest within fourteen days from the date on which it is informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw.

Refunds may be deferred until the products have been recovered by Oligo.

Products returned incomplete, damaged, used or soiled (if they are not in a condition to be sold) cannot be taken back and will therefore not be refunded.

 

Data protection

The parties undertake to comply with the provisions of Swiss data protection legislation. They undertake to take all measures that can reasonably be expected of them from an economic point of view and all possible technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data generated and exchanged in the course of the execution of the contract does not become known to unauthorised third parties.

Personal data may only be processed insofar as this is necessary for the performance of the contract. In addition, personal data may be passed on to a company affiliated with one of the parties to the contract and established in Switzerland or abroad, provided that this is necessary for the performance of the contract and that the provisions of Swiss data protection legislation are observed.

 

Applicable law and jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by Swiss law. The provisions of the United Nations Convention of 11 April 1980 on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

Any dispute concerning this Agreement shall be submitted exclusively to the courts of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland, with recourse to the Federal Court being reserved, subject to mandatory legal provisions to the contrary in matters of consumer law.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are valid from 02 February 2022.
